Yes, it’s amazing what happens in elections when ACORN isn’t involved, isn’t it?

There are two safe bets on voting on initiatives in CA —

Rule #1: Vote “NO” on every initiative. Unfortunately, there are the rare exceptions like Prop 13, parental consent, etc that they sneak in that require a “YES” vote. For that, there’s Rule #2 which overrides Rule #1...

Rule #2: Vote the opposite of what the teachers unions, Indian tribes, SEIU, AFSCME, Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, et al recommend. This is a sure-fire rule.

Seems like to me the people who found it too complicated
and did not want to vote on it did not come out and vote which is fine by me . If you are too stupid to read the provided information about the propositions which are provided to you DO NOT VOTE. And never just vote on the words of a politician or you will end up with Obama.

Okay, I posted this over at the Sacramento Bee thread with their “redacted” editorial, but I’ll post it here, since it seems to fit.

I remember Nov. 1994 when the Republicans took over, and there were similar diatribes about stupid angry voters...

“Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It’s clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It’s the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don’t have to be dirty words: the nation can’t be run by an angry two-year-old.”
— ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings in his daily ABC Radio commentary, November 14.

How can millions of people be so confused ?

Actually, the Liberals are in denial.

The vast majority of voters were just packing up and leaving.

She sounded more intelligent than usual — in a communist sort of way.

If this tap dancing is her being ‘intelligent’, I’d hate to catch her on a bad day.

I am an informed voter as were many if not most of those who rejected these garbage propositions.

But as usual the left has no clue.

I think Rush said it today but I predicted it before that CA will try to get Obama to bail them out. Obama is giving money away to anyone like their is no tommorrow. Trillions here and trillions there. I thought he was just stupid and clueless but he is evil and wants to bankrupt the USA.

The CA lib politicians are not incompetent or dingbats just evil.

Kudos for John and Ken on KFI radio for helping to mobilize voters.

Whenever the voters get to vote on tax increases they almost always vote no. We should only have as much government as the voters are willing to pay for.
