GO SIMON PING

[Diddle E. Squat]

What took so long? Damage has been done. How hard would it have been to issue a simple denial/clarification/press release before everyone left town for the long weekend?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Thank you.

I'd still like to know where that questionnaire came from. Log Cabin Republicans made it up? Did someone from Simon's campaign fill it out? Was it entirely created and distributed by the Dems? Or, was that the handiwork of Rove/Parsky?

[Antoninus]

All of those who think it would be better to elect Gay Davis than this man are out of their gourd. There is 1,000 miles of difference between the two men on family values issues.

[Right To Life]

OK...the guy deserves to be taken at his word. However, this means that there will be no further attempts by Simon to sell himself as a liberal.

[Texas Eagle]

Okay, here is the way Simon (or one of his staffer's) answered the question on the Log Cabin questionnaire

19. Would your administration issue Gay Pride Day proclamations as past administrations have done?

Yes, in June 2003 I will sign a proclamation declaring Gay Pride Day.

And here is what Simon (or one of his staffers) says in his letter to Senator Haynes (or one of his staffers):

I do not support a proclamation for Gay Pride Day.

Do you see the difference? In his (or his staffer's) response to the Log Cabin, Simon WILL(notice the future tense) proclaim Gay Pride Day but in his (or one of his staffer's) letter to Senator Haynes he says, I DO not support Gay Pride Day. He is speaking in the present tense.

So which is it Mr. Simon (or one of your staffers)?

[ElkGroveDan]

Look, we'll probably hear more of the details in the coming days. It looks to me like he simply restated his positions in a formal letter to the Senator. All the other junk about who said what to who probably wasn't appropriate in that letter. He stated his positons and they all look good to me. I can wait for the other details.

Meanwhile, here are a few points to remember:

Bill Simon supported Proposition 22, the Protection of Marriage Initiative and continues to support it. Gray Davis opposed it.

Bill Simon demanded a veto for Assembly Bill 25, which created state-sanctioned domestic partnerships. Davis signed it.

Bill Simon believes in marriage ONLY between a man and a woman.

Bill Simon is pro-life and Davis actively promotes unrestricted abortion in all cases and all circumstances, all the time.

Bill Simon and his family have contributed thousands of dollars to crisis pregnancy Centers and unwed mothers' homes across the country. Gray Davis hired the director of the California Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL) and made her his policy director and chief of staff.

Bill Simon opposes blanket amnesty for illegal aliens, Gray Davis supports open borders.

Bill Simon believes you are taxed too much, Gray Davis believes you are taxed too little.

Simon is a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, Davis has signed bills that fly in the face of your right to keep and bear arms.

Simon supports home schooling and parents' rights to raise their children as they see best. Davis sits silently by while state government officials browbeat parents of home schoolers and threaten them with arrest.

There is no question that Bill Simon is our man in this election - it's not even a close call. Bill Simon is a devoted Christian, a loving husband and father and one of the most decent men I have ever met. There are 68 days left to defeat the worst, most liberal governor in our nation's history. We have a lot of work to do, let's get back to it.

[Blake#1]

Bless you for the effort you are putting out for California. Simon can still win this!!!!

[TatieBug]

Let's be patient and get the truth. We must stand behind Simon for Governor as he's a good man. The local radio stations are bashing him enough to enable Davis to save his ad money right now. Please...let's come together and get him elected. I'm confused but trying to understand as well.

[gunshy]

Why didn't he just say that he never filled out the questionaire and that the San Francisco Chronicle lied about him in its story?

[hattend]

I got this letter via e-mail. Guess I'm back in Simon's corner again. He has un-Fonged himself...provided this gets in the papers.

[NEWwoman]

Bump and dump Davis.
