Open letter from Phil Angelides (opposing Schwarzenegger and the Propositions)

Editor's note: The State Hornet received this letter via e-mail from the State Treasurer's office last Thursday. In the interest of fairness, you can view the Governor's stances on the special election propositions here. Dear Editor:

From the day he took office, Governor Schwarzenegger started bringing the Bush agenda to California, dragging our state down the path of debt, division and diminished opportunity.

Just like President Bush, who promised to be a "compassionate conservative," Governor Schwarzenegger told Californians he was a different kind of Republican. But Schwarzenegger's special election has exposed the Bush agenda that has always lurked beneath the governor's mask of moderation. Schwarzenegger's special election initiatives, Propositions 73-77 on the special election ballot, will restrict a woman's right to choose, leave massive deficits, cut school funding, and hurt California's working families. The Schwarzenegger agenda is wrong for California.

On November 8th, Californians can put a stop to what Schwarzenegger started by joining Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein and me in voting NO on Propositions 73 – 77 and defeating the governor’s attempt to bring the Bush agenda to California. Then we can unite to put California back on the path to hope and prosperity.

Well, another article to add to my list: The Democrats are fighting tooth and nail against Arnold's reform propositions. Even Moveon.org is going to run ads against them on CNN ( see link below about Moveon.org)

With all those losers in opposition, these propositions must be really good! I mean. . . Gray Davis??? Who cares what he thinks?

Not if my vote counts for anything. Arnie took on one hell of a job trying to clean up the mess Davis made of this State and he gets my full support.

I agree completely. While not following the conservative mantra completely, Arnold has made great strides in Kalifornia, trying to turn the state from a leftist commie dictatorship into an actual democracy. I met him when he visited my college before the recall election and spent an hour talking with me and 20 young republicans on my campus about issues and i must say the guy is sharp as a tack. don't let the leftists fool you about Arnold... he is not as dumb as he looks. ;)

Is there anything more laughable than their "in the interest of fairness" fig leaf?

Well ok, that Angelides actually spews this crap is side-splittingly laughable.

I never did think Arnie was dumb, he wouldn't have come as far as he has if he was. I really envy you for having spent that time with him.
Now you want dumb....take your pick, Rob Reiner or Warren Beatty.
