If Whitman wins, watch RINOs to start pushing her for the 2012 nomination if Mitt falters.

That socialist bitch has never voted and only registered for the 1st time to run for Governor.

All her political donations have been to liberal democraps.

I use voice recognition software and sometimes it’s less than accurate. Sorry to confuse you with all that complex grammar stuff.

Former Gov. Moonbeam promises to take a rickshaw to work to cut down on pollution and reduce unemployment (by one).
To solve the financial crisis, the former two-timer said he would declare bankruptcy and make California a protectorate of the Republic of Venezuela.

Linda Ronstadt was unavailable for comment.

I'm not a Witman fan - but if Brown get elected again to Governor’s office - I say California deserves to fall into the ocean - and I was born in LA at 6th and Hope St Queen Of Angles Hospital.

The election will go to the Republican corporate drone, Whitman. She has trainloads of money.

Ya see the GOP disgusted so many people, and is so broke from lack of donations, they have use candidates that are super rich, so they can fund their own campaigns.

Then, how about me, I was born and raised in CA.

He's 100% correct.

Nothing short of either a bona fida Holy Spirit revival or California chrashing and burning is going to turn things around.

Whitman will get elected though....She will out spend them 100 to 1. The only positive thing here, is she is better than Brown.

LOL You’re probably right!

However, he is right on his point about industries. But, the bigger we are, I live in California, the bigger we fall.

We are screwed, we have no decent people running for Governor.

What are you talking about? Do you know Steve Poizner? He lives in my town and ran for State Assembly here? He is proud of supporting Gore and Kerry. he would not allow any of his material to be placed in the Republican office in the town. He sent out mailers viciously attacking Republicans.

How does that say anything positive about Poizner.
Poizner gave money to the Al Gore recount fund.

Poizner seems to be to the right of Whitman even though he is so liberal, and he sucks a lot less than Whitman.

Whitman is even more creepy than Poizner.

Yes Whitman has donated tons of money to Republicans, Whitman buys what she wants.

Mitt Romney even spent millions to buy a home here to help Whitman, and to capitalize on her victory.

Sorry, I missed your last message before hitting send.

It’s pretty common for business types to kiss up to both sides. Doesn’t say much to me.

What I ask myself is whether it is possible for her to be worse than Ahnuld.

On what basis do you think he is to the right of Whitman? He is a certified Republican-hater. He donated to the Al Gore recount fund. When he had a neighborhood party, he actually looked up the voter registration of his neighbors, and didn’t invite the Republicans.

“I’m not even 100% certain that Brown is to the left of Whitman, at least on guns.”

I think she is slightly to the left of Brown on guns, but that doesn’t really matter much. Kind of like saying Lenin was slightly to the left of Stalin.

The one thing Whitman wants to do is cut welfare rolls in California and enact the same kind of welfare reform that was enacted everywhere esle. People have to go off welfare after two years. This would reduce the dependency population by millions. If she can pull this off, it would be the best thing that’s happened to the state in my lifetime.

It isn’t misleading at all, I wasn’t listing the Republican donations that a Republican candidate for Governor has made, I was posting her Democrat donations.

The same applies for her mentor and power broker, Mitt Romney, my interest isn’t in his Republican donations, it is in his fund raising for Democrats and Planned Parenthood, and donations to Democrats.

Not to everyone.

"If there is anyone here who doesn't understand why we cannot support a slick socialist politician like Mitt Romney, God help you, but you're on the wrong website. We went through this with the abortionist, gay rights activist, illegal alien supporting, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani until someone created another website call WAnkers for Rudy and they all flew the coop. Hopefully, before too much FReeper blood is shed, someone will create a WAnkers for Romney site and we can be left to fight the good fight as we see fit!
FR is not for everyone!

That post does nothing to disprove that Romney is shrewd. I made no issue of whether Romney was right or not, only that he is shrewd.
