Californians are acting like such total idiots lately it makes me seriously think about moving. Why did people vote for Arnold if they didn't want him to make the changes he said he would make?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is already wealthy and famous, what does he need from being governor? The attacks from the unions? The accusations that he's mean spirited and hates teachers? The daily nonsense of the complete morons in the legislature?
He must have believed he could really make some changes and help the state. I think it's possible that tomorrow a lot of people won't bother voting and that Arnold's propositions could win if enough of us are motivated to get out there.
Here's what I'm doing to vote more than once tomorrow: I'm offering to watch my friends' kids so they can go vote with the help of my filled out sample ballot. I don't buy into the phony MTV rhetoric of 'get out the vote' as if no one cares how you vote as long as you vote. I care. So I'm here for my friends who want to vote properly.
Go Arnold!
This is the kind of idiotic campaigning that goes on around here. 'Arnold's against the kids!' Yeah.
What a genius. If someone hears a democrat debate the issues, let me know.
Look everyone, it's Mr. Meathead.
The unions have a strangle hold on this state. Soon, California could be like France, consisting only of government workers, spongers, and the extremely rich, with no private sector middle class.
Someone please ask this teamster if he can even explain what these propositions are that he is opposing.
It would be so great if, after all the money the unions have spent to fight him, Arnold's props passed.
I've talked to my parents. They voted last week by absentee. My mom is an ex-nurse supervisor. She thinks some of Arnold's rhetoric about increasing patient load for nurses was ill-advised, but she and my dad are going to vote yes on his propositions.
We didn't even get our voting materials this time around. I got ahold of the secretary of states office, pulled down the iniatives and found out where we're supposed to vote from the registrar of voters.
Couldn't keep me away!
Even more heavy hitting intellectual debate from the nuts.
Thats why we are moving. But before that we are voting yes on 74-77.
Texas on '07.
If I were still in CA, I would be voting in favor of all of the initiatives put up by the Gov. I don't have to agree with him on social issues to be with him against the union (mob) and the establishment. If I were a Dim, I would have gotten an absentee ballot from CA and voted anyways (since they rarely if ever remove deadwood voters from the rolls because it makes it easier to commit voter fraud in Orange county).
That's quite an outfit on Beatty.
Why do you continue to live in that third world country? Oops, I mean California.
I'm with you. I can't understand it. I voted and made all my family vote--but all I hear on the radio are union ads, day and night. Do these people really want to end up like Europe?
My son is a newly minted Biology high school teacher this year--and five years before tenure won't be a problem for him. Higher standards lead to excellence benefiting everyone.
Me, too. I read somewhere that the absentee voters are expected to approve Arnold's initiatives and vote against the two drug initiatives.
"Only chickens hurt working families"?
What the heck does that mean? Are they after Foster Farms now?
He looks like a fairy. No, not that kind; a REAL fairy.
Hear me now, believe me later: Arnold will win! All four. A clean sweep. Bank on it!
When did his acting days ever begin? Seems to me Beatty was a male version of Paris Hilton, always around, famous, and in a few movies, but not a real actor.
Ah, the ever popular and uberintellectual liberal debating tactic: "Liar!"
Nice to see they haven't figured out why they are losing yet.
For those not up to speed on these propositions, how about a quick primer on Props 74 - 77. What are they?
74 - Extends to 5 years the time before teacher tenure.
75 - More STRONGLY forces public unions to get member approval before spending dues on political activity.
76 - Puts in the Governor's hands much more spending authority if the budget is not balanced. Affects a school proposition passed many years ago that really hurts the ability to balance the state budget.
77 - Allows a selected panel of judges to draw election districts instead of the state legislature.
