Davis Continues to Ignore Economy
UCLA Study Cites Faltering Recovery

SACRAMENTO - California gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon today criticized Gray Davis for failing to offer a plan to stimulate California's sluggish economy.

"Today's UCLA report that our economic recovery is faltering is more proof that the Governor's three-year assault on job growth has succeeded in slowing down our economy.

"Gray Davis has repeatedly signed job-killing legislation, he has raised energy rates, and he has left our state with an estimated $17 billion dollar deficit. Meanwhile our economy stumbles and average people worry about their jobs, their children's schools and their high energy bills.

"In the midst of a slow economy, you can't continue to paper over our massive budget deficit as if it isn't there. I call on Gray Davis to deal with the important issues facing our state," said Simon.

"When I watch the Governor try to change the topic from important issues such as the economy, I am reminded of four historic words," said Simon strategist Sal Russo.

"It's the economy, stupid."

Simon's campaign to renew and revitalize California reminds me of that Led Zeppelin song from the 60's: "Made up my mind to make a new start, goin' to California with an achin' in my heart." He's going to win too, by the slightest of margins.

This guy is soooo done, I picture him in the corner of the room in a fetal position with a puddle forming under his rear... If California votes this guy back in... Well I hate to say they deserve it, because that isn't just for all those that didn't vote that way. For all you Cal. Freep's, good luck.

Ah, but they won't, not with the lousy economy. I'm from there, and Ca. voters are schizophrenic, meaning they will turn on their socialist Gov. and his broken promises like a woman turns on her no-good ex-lover. I mean the moderate Dems and Independents... the Repubs. of course never were fooled, while the hard-core leftists think four more years of Premier Davis is just what the state needs. Someone should encourage Ralph Nadar to make a run from the left of Davis, heh heh.

So nice to see the Gray One's total ineptitude when put on the defensive. Maybe he can get Gary Condit to go stumping the state on his behalf, BWAAAAAHAHA.

You are SO right. In March of 2000 all the bond measures failed; in March of 2002 they all passed ... yet we still nominated the conservative on the ballot, Bill Simon, but a huge 18 point margin.

Go figure.

Anyway, Davis is trying to make an election that is about the economy and the fiscal order of the state into an election about abortion, and it's not going to fly. People just don't care about abortion (I'm sorry), but it's true, and Davis is mistakening the reason that Lungren lost by 20 points. He THINKS it's because Lungren was pro-life. Let him think that. It's will help us to defeat him.

Go Simon!

Fascist Davis and his brown shirted fascists have been ignoring these reports from UCLA for over a year.

Last year they said that California was in a recession before the rest of the country and would take longer to get out of this recession.

Fascist Davis and his brown shirted fascists in Sacramento and the mediot/pressitutes down played the UCLA report last year and made fun of it.

Actually, the recession kept us from having more blackouts. When businesses close or reduce hours, they use less electricity.

Simon's people need to explore how the recession kept us from having more blackouts. There is a lady Prof at UC Berkley (I can't remember her name), who pointed this fact out last year.

I don't think the abortion issue will help Davis in the end. Unless there aren't any other big issues to speak of, the only people who vote on abortion are people against it. You'll even get a small % of hispanics voting that way in this election, but everyone else will kill Davis over the economy, the roads, and the energy.

LIGHTS OUT FOR DAVIS!

Quite true. Good thing Davis wrecked the economy, huh?

Actually, I fear for Simon when he wins this election. A lot of the damage Davis has done won't really be felt for another year or so.

And since Davis has run off all the power producers, when the economy turns around, the lights will go off again.

Yes, Fascist Davis's strategy to keep the lights on was to cause a massive California recession. When the recession came and businesses closed or reduced hours, that left electricity for the rest of us! Way to go Davis, you kept the lights on by causing a recession!

Simon will face problems due to the lack of no new power plants thanks to Davis, the hand puppet of the economic terrorists, the enviralists who hate any power plant, particuliarly a new one!

You know, I was thinking just this thing as well. All the smoke and mirrors Davis has used to keep power are going to disappear. Simon has his work cut out for him. But the fact is, we can't let Davis have another four years to bankrupt this state. Simon may be working for his entire term to fix the problems created by Davis, but if we want a prosperous state, we'd better do something about it now.

"Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair..."

...and she's sick of Gray Davis so she's re-registering as a Republican and voting for Bill Simon.
