Jerry Brown on His First Stint as Governor: ‘It’s All a Lie. I Didn’t Have a Plan for California’
CNN/Breitbart ^ | 1992

Posted on 10/25/2010 3:58:12 PM PDT by library user

This is must see.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:

JERRY BROWN ON CNN 1992:

"You run for office and, oh, the assumption is, I know what to do. You don't. I didn't have a plan for California.

You say you're going to lower taxes, you say you're going to put people to work, you're going to improve the schools, you're going to stop crime. Crime is up, schools are worse, taxes are higher, I mean be real."

RE: “I’m here. I can’t explain it either, except that MANY of today’s voters were not here during Moonbeam’s prior tenure. Also, the unions and Spanish-language radio are pounding their people to vote for old baldy”

********************

It’s like the black vote for Obama — so many Dems in this state of all varieties that even if they should know better than to vote for Moonbeam because of the history and facts, they will vote for him just because he’s the Dem. It’s that bad here...........

Add to that, of course, the hispanic (mainly Mexican) vote, legal or not, and there’s your election.

Pathetic, and more and more right-minded people are leaving the state, taking their funds and businesses with them. If I could leave, I would, but honestly, why should WE have to leave? Isn’t it way past time to get rid of all the detritus that’s been sucking up the benefit goodies all these years, thanks in large part to the policies of Moonbeam himself?

Why isn’t Whitman running this non stop on tv? Would be a perfect commercial.

That's what the war in 1846 was all about.

Of course it requires an American to be CIC, I guess we will have to wait until 2012 until MEXICO IS ELEVATED TO THE SAME THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY THAT AFGHANISTAN IS.

People should remember what Jerry Brown, as Governor during Proposition 13, did to the voters of California.

He did everything in his power to punish voters for voting for Proposition 13 in the 1970s.

For example, he cut Police and Fire funding at a time when he gave Hanoi Jane Fonda a one million dollar arts program allocation.

Jerry Brown, in the 1970s, felt that the voters of California should be punished for voting for Proposition 13 -- an initiative to freeze property taxes on long time property owners.

For example, during this time, I had a relative who had a $10,000 loan on a home from the 1950's that was valued at over $200,000 in the 1970's. His property taxes were considerably more than house payments/insurance payments on the house.

This was a common problem for many people in California as property taxes were going through the roof.

That is why people voted for Proposition 13.

Even if Proposition 13 was unfair for some reason, it was still the wish of the voters and elected representatives such as Jerry Brown should have respected the view of the voters.

Instead, he did everything in his power to punish voters for voting for proposition 13.

They need to be ready to investigate voter fraud. As Brown is totally devoted to ACORN. wITH WITNESS you can trust. Also,Calif has a Sec of State,Bowen,that did not vet current POTUS> which is her job. They have also put an OBOT on the ballot for Sec of State-Damon Dunn. running on the republican ticket. This guy was registered in Florida as a democrat less than 9 months before he was put on Ca ballot as a Republican. I’m sure Brown the Clown knows ALL about this also. It is in court right now. We should have a recall coming soon on this subject.

You answered your own question. I live in California and everyone I am talking to either voted for or is going to vote for Whitman.
We have three main problems here in the state of fruits and nuts.
1) The unions. The unions are using all the dues stolen from their people to get Brown, Boxer and other democrats elected. Plus, the unions with their retirements are making it virtually impossible for the private citizens to save any money.
2) The damn illegals. Every illegal is just going to do something else illegal. They will go to the voting booths, lie about who they are and vote for democrats. We need to make it so a person needs to have identification in order to vote. We also need to have everyone re-register in order to vote to keep all the dead people, the people who vote multiple times from voting.
3) We need to stop early voting. People being able to vote up to three weeks early just opens up the chances of voter fraud. Absentee voting should be only for people who really need and qualify for me. Military personnel, home bound people, and people like me who drive trucks for a living and are gone for weeks at a time.
To close, California and every other state need to clean up their books to make voting legal again. Maybe we need to do what the Iraqis did when they voted for the first time after decades of being under the thumb of their democrat, Saddam Hussein, tip one of our fingers in paint so it was very obvious voting had occurred.

Can’t Whitman feature this in an ad?

I don't know if the deadline has passed. If not, she needs to get it on the air by Wednesday at the latest.

Deadline? lol!

Whitman is worth billions, and she, her huge staff, campaign chiefs and handlers couldn't find this ditty from 1992?

After spending 150 million Hispandering, the Latinos have sided with Whitman's illegal alien maid, and are going to leave Whitman twisting in the wind.

Arnold became a Governor as a result of recall and recall election against California previous Governor, Gray Davis.

Can't you turn this election into a "recall Governor Jerry Brown" campaign?

Let me try this again.

For weeks now there has been a commercial played on TV in California using a video clip of Brown from a talk show uttering the words “When I was Governor, I didn’t have a plan.” So the answer to your question why doesn’t Whitman feature this in an ad is, she is! Or another group perhaps, can’t remember who the sponsor of the ad is. Some ads come from other than the campaign itself. One lists all Brown’s efforts on tax hikes over the years, including opposing Prop 13, tax hikes while mayor of Oakland, etc.

The liberal stranglehold goes way beyond this.

Yes, the unions are a big reason for it. Why? Because California lack paycheck protection laws. Unions extort money from members to give to only Democrats. If they had to get explicit permission from the members on an annual basis, the Union political funds would dry up over night. Schwarzennegger pushed for passing this proposition back in 2004. He got his ass kicked by the Teachers Union and Nurses Union, when all 4 of the props he supported failed. If the paycheck protection prop had passed, the Dems would have lost a guarnateed source of political funding from the unions.

Disgruntled California conservatives need to DEMAND paycheck protection for union members immediately, if not sooner.

Illegals are not an issue in the Dem stranglehold. Election fraud IS an issue and the CA Republicans need to go after this right up to requiring ID for voting. No more dead or felon names used for the voting rolls. Really, the CA GOP needs to fight to overturn motor-voter automatic registration. But voter ID is an absolute must and going after voter fraud is also a must.

You left off the CA elitists, both the upper class and middle class. Vast numbers of brain-dead, feel-good CA elitists pull the Dem lever exclusively, voting with their heart and not their head, in election after election. Thi is not just the gay lobby or Jewish lobby, etc. It is vast numbers of middle class yuppies in major cities who vote themselves higher taxes and more government restrictions because they LOVE higher taxes and they LOVE government. I kid you not.

Then you have all of the voting poor. We have a massive entitlement mentality here in California and those receiving welfare, food stamps, assistance, vouchers, housing allowances, medical allowances, transportation allowances, etc ad nauseum -- how do you think they vote? Hint: it is NOT GOP> They are on the gravy train and they vote exclusively DEM to keep the flood of gravy flowing.

California government schools have brainwashed generations CA residents. They vote knee-jerk Dem. It takes a long time to turn a brainwashed, starry-eyed young "save the whales" liberal to morph into an overtaxed, overburdgened, government-oppressed conservative - so write off most people under 40 years old as products of their government school indoctrination.

California is flat doomed. It needs to collapse and have its resident workers/taxpayers suffer so badly that they wake from their dreams of Utopia, holding hands and buying the world a coke, to the cold, hard reality that they can't provide for their kids and their own future if they are wasting all of their money on deadbeats, takers, and idiotic green/wasteful/ridiculous/insane/pork barrell government boondoggles.
