Never mind that Arnold guy, have a look at Meg!
California can’t afford another Pete Wilson mistake. Wilson was Governor Schwarzenegger’s campaign chairman – epic fail. Now, Californians face a financial crisis because the governor caved when Democrats demanded reckless spending. The crisis will only worsen when Schwarzenegger’s global warming law, AB 32, wreaks its devastation on the state economy. Wilson also backed John McCain for President in 2008 – a fiscal conservative’s nightmare. And, as discussed, Wilson helped empower the prison guards union, driving runaway prison spending. Now, Wilson asks GOP voters to ignore his costly blunders and back Whitman for governor.
As with Schwarzenegger, Pete Wilson appears to be selling GOP voters a “bait-and-switch”. Schwarzenegger morphed while in office, from fiscal conservative into unprincipled and unpredictable. Now that Whitman thinks the Primary is over, her transmogrification has already begun. She is quietly flip-flopping on her opposition to AB 32. Last year, she promised to issue a moratorium on AB 32 her first day in office. Now, she is slinking away from that position, instead promising a re-assessment that looks at “better implementation” and “stronger leadership” (not moratorium) – bedrock principles be damned.
Likewise, Whitman still refuses to endorse the Citizen Power Initiative to rein in the overpowerful public employee unions who are blocking reform and corrupting state government. The silence from her campaign speaks volumes. If she is too fearful to stand up for taxpayers during the campaign, taxpayers can have little confidence that she will do so if elected. It looks more and more like Whitman is just another Pete Wilson mistake that Californians can’t afford.
As not reported on Meg County.
Interesting, Rogue… Asssemblymember Logue and I talked a few days ago (that is AD-03 – Logue is from Marysville)… he said that Whitman was bailing out on the AB32 initiative.
Maybe the $300K she gave to the environmental defense fund was indeed an ideological gift after all.
Great post Rogue! Why give Wilson a chance to scew up our state further?
Reject Whitman!
She’s a Romneybot. Nuff said.
I have met Governor Wilson, His wife and shared a funny anecdote, embarassing to both of us. He was humble, kind and concerned. EVERYTHING HE DID NOT REPRESENT AS GOVERNOR!
How is it that the very folks that gave us Schwarznegger, Former Governor Wilson, Talk Show personalities John and Ken are pushing for Whitman.
Already begun, but soon to be spun is how “everybody” pounds on her for not voting……
Why don’t the the players play instead of cheer? Because they are paid CHEERLEADERS!
Voters need to pay attention to individual candidates track record in “life”. You have to take politics out of this to stay sane. If you dig in and research the 3 of them on the popular search engines. You will see a “huge” difference. Meg has pages and pages of questionable and very questionable items. From giving big money to Boxer, to Meg’s son being thrown out of the college dorm that she built, To giving money to the Delta smelt. To loving Van Jones on Utube. Is she really a Republican??
Poizner’s history on the other hand is fairly clean. Nothing that really sticks out at you. No ones perfect. But, when you look what Steve Poizner has “already” accomplished for California, education, and man kind itself. You say, I like this guy” How many California kids have a better opportunity to succeed in life because of the charter schools? How many human and animal lives has Snap tracks cell phone GPS system saved? How many bad guys did we capture? Poziner appears to me to be the only make good sense candidate. Oh Ya, Brown. Let his previous record as the leader California for 8 years tell it all. Does anyone remember what he did as Govenor? I cant seem to find much on the net??
