Even as Republicans boast of their chances to take over the United
States Senate come November, their party's governors across the country
are facing dimmer prospects. From Georgia to Alaska, right-wing
ideological rule imposed by GOP chief executives has left voters
disappointed, disillusioned and angry.
The problem isn't
that these governors failed to implement their promised panaceas of tax
cutting, union busting and budget slashing, all in the name of economic
recovery; some did all three. The problem is that those policies have
failed to deliver the improving jobs and incomes that were supposed to
flow from "conservative" governance. In fact, too often the result
wasn't at all truly conservative, at least in the traditional sense --
as excessive and imbalanced tax cuts, skewed to benefit the wealthy, led
to ruined budgets and damaged credit ratings.
