California voters that is, just ask California Speaker of the State Assembly Karen Bass. Here, listen to her yourself…
This is the message that Ms. Bass received…
This is too complicated. We don’t want to vote on it. We are fatigued with the number of elections we’ve had especially special elections and we want you to go back to Sacramento and resolve this.
Gag me, gag me big time. Karen Bass needs to be unemployed (and get her hearing checked). Tomorrow couldn’t be soon enough. Take a vote, wrap it in a bunch of psuedo intellectual gobbly goop and the politicians just don’t get it.
H/T to Gateway pundit (and Instapundit). The comments over at Gateway make for delightful reading, unless you’re a politician that fits the mold of Karen Bass.

The San Diego Tribune does a takedown on the politicians “blame the voters” mentality….
We could go on, but our point is clear: It is absurd for any pundit or politician to blame voters for the budget disaster. And it’s a canard that gets in the way of a constructive response to the crisis.
So long as lawmakers think they’re not the problem, the status quo won’t change. And so long as the journalists who cover these politicians accept this analysis, they will be sympathetic to the status quo – even though it’s a status quo that’s absolutely got to go.
Hmmm, what about the local journalists covering the Boulder County Commissioners?
