The Water Cooler Title: Poll: Jerry Brown Has Double-Digit Lead Over Meg Whitman Democrat Jerry Brown has opened a double-digit lead over Republican Meg Whitman in the governor's race, according to a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll. Brown was leading Whitman 52 percent to 39 percent among likely voters, expanding his lead particularly among women and Latino voters, according to the poll. Brown, campaigning this morning at several churches in south Los Angeles, said after one stop that he is "cautiously optimistic" about his chances in November. He was campaigning with the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Brown struck a populist tone, saying California is a wealthy state but that officials must "spread it out," not "suck it all up to the top." He criticized Whitman for her scant voting record and called on congregants to cast ballots Nov. 2. Whitman was campaigning yesterday in the Los Angeles area. She had no scheduled public events today.

Kalipornians DESERVE what they get if they re-elect "Moonbeam". I despise what the libTURDS have done to that once great state. California was a wonderful place to live as late as the mid sixties. If my ancestors were not dead they'd have left decades ago also. SUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuCCCCCCCCccccccccKKKKkkkkkkkkkEEEEeeeeeRRRRRRRrrrrrrSSSSSSssssss
#12. To: Mad Dog (#2) I despise what the libTURDS have done to that once great state. It ain't the liberals. Right wing radicals have done to the state of California what they did to the country during the Bush administration.

If so, she's correct, the net effect of the law was to completely screw up California's housing market among other things.
#18. To: go65 (#16) I assume she is referring to Prop. 13? If so, she's correct, the net effect of the law was to completely screw up California's housing market among other things. Its prop 13, its term limits that has had the unintended consequence of handing inordinate power to lobbyists, its Reagan's war against education (Reagan & J. Edgar Hoover vs the University of California - pretty interesting history), its our initiative process that allows anyone who can get enough signatures including special interests to get their issue on the ballot - California is the only oil producing state that does not collect a severance tax on oil extracted from our state.
#21. To: lucysmom (#18) The problem with California is that your assinine faggot courts struck down prop whatever that was supposed to cut off funds to illegals. Now you are overrun with scummy Mexicans who think it is their beloved toilet of a country Mexico. Get rid of the illegals and your state will be fine. But you can't do that because your state is PC state and you don't want to hurt the poor little illegals feelings. Well until you say screw them and deport their asses your state will decline. And the rest of the nation will follow.
#22. To: A K A Stone (#21) Proposition 187 also known as the Save Our State (SOS). That’s one reason. The other is unfunded State employee pensions. Brown signed the ability for State workers to bargain collectively through The Dill act. He legalized collective bargaining for the public-employee unions. My kids have yet to even have their first jobs, yet they each owe $10,000 to unions that make sure Brown gets reelected. Like the Mayor and managers of Bell city , Brown and the DNC raped the state for personal gain.
#27. To: WhiteSands (#22) The other is unfunded State employee pensions. Have you heard of CalPERS? Do you know what it is or how it functions? Free Market baby!
#30. To: lucysmom (#27) Have you heard of CalPERS? Do you know what it is or how it functions? Yes I have heard of them. Have you? You feel it's private enterprise. Telling.
#33. To: WhiteSands (#30) You feel it's private enterprise. It is state employee plus the state as employer contributions invested in the market.
#37. To: lucysmom (#33) Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains. Thomas Jefferson How does your tag line match your desire to see pension monies taken for investment with global merchants?
#41. To: WhiteSands (#37) How does your tag line match your desire to see pension monies taken for investment with global merchants? I thought we were discussing what is, not my desires.
Replies to Comment # 41. As for the desires of the people - the founding fathers gave us a republican form of government to protect from the whims of the masses and to protect the rights of minorities. You brought up the founders to discuss- what is. Your tag line mentions a founder and explains what your feelings are about - what is. Taxes To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson Source: Virginia Statutes of Religious Freedom, 1779
