Yes, I am aware that many conservatives voted against Prop 76, because it didn’t go far enough. Just as many conservatives allowed the Democrats to retake the house and Senate because Bush is a New World Order moderate who didn’t go far enough to please conservatives.
Just like Conservatives would not vote for a social liberal like Giuliani and would let Hillary ascend the throne as a result.
Sometimes you have to take the best deal you have and not the dream you will never achieve.
My take on the changes to school funding are that Prop 76 was a net good thing. It looks like they eliminated the automatic return to high spending in the good years, and the trade-off was no automatic reduction in spending during bad years. Since we tend to see many more good years than bad, this would have reduced school spending, in my opinion. By keeping the automatic floor, we are stuck with the automatic ceiling, and we are currently paying the price.
Prop 76 was voted down. We kept the status quo. And you are telling me we are better off, as if somebody on a white horse is going to come in and give you the ideal spending restraints you want in a socialist run blue state. This is never going to happen. So by voting against 76, we get stuck with the status quo and we are going to see one massive budget crisis after another.
No, that is not what I said. If you follow the link, you would find that Prop 76 went too far--it included all sorts of things that had nothing to do with a spending cap or were not conservative in the least. With any proposition, you get the good with the bad. In the case of Prop 76, there enough bad provisions to outweigh any good. Approving it would have made California worse off, not "a little bit better."

No. I didn't say "better off." Just not worse off.
The rest of your comments are either irrelevant or insulting (but an improvement from your last post--thanks for that, anyway).
