I was intending to vote first thing this morning. All right, no later than 1 pm. Some of the people I know are saying, "Hmmm... I'm actually going to vote for a Republican today." (Schwarznegger, they mean.) I know one thing for sure -- Jerry Brown for Attorney General! If you're a Californian and want to vote the lock-step liberal line...naah, you can figure it out yourself. People say they're liberal or conservative or libertarian, but they mainly belong to the Green Party. As in the color of currency.

Anyone selling out to Arnie deserves what they get, which is overpriced housing, underfunded schools and hospitals, and higher gas prices than the rest of the country.

arnold is one of the biggest crooks in political history according to lawrence o'donnell right at this moment on the al franken show. he's correct. here's my list why:
- he claimed he would take no special interest money. he took over 8 million dollars from muscle mag industry. he was busted and said he would only take a million.
- he's accrued over 100 million in special interest money.
- has not reduced the defecit.
- he raised college tuition, cut pell grants, further insuring california as an outsource state.
- he was set up in a bogus recall by ken lay and others of his ethical ilk who made sure arnold would drop the lawsuit against enron for their electric pillage of california.
- he called those opposed to his policies "girly men."
-he said of hardworking underpaid nurses that he would "kick their butts." and he cut fire/police pensions while hogging photos with them.
- he went to the RNC and told america to vote for bush. he repeated the "girly men" line to great republican cheers.
arnold: the ultimate flip flopper.
and if ONE DEMOCRAT out there votes for arnold over angelides, who is not an action movie star but actually wants to help this state, then you're a sell-out to bush. and you get the state you deserve.
of course this is the same "liberal" state that elected ronald reagan twice.
vote smart or play dumb.

I'm not voting for Ah-nuld, tho' a Repub who is pro-choice and fairly environmentally-friendly and who doesn't demonize gays is a novelty and oughta make the GOP stop to think (but won't). But really, Angelides has been a dreadful candidate and has run a horrible campaign.

Mike: He doesn't demonize gays, just tries to deny them rights. And he's trying to limit abortion just as much as the extremists.

Angelides has done nothing to earn my vote and I admit Arnold hasn't been quite the disaster I anticipated when he was first elected but I just can't bring myself to vote for more Schwarzenegger. So do I not vote for governor at all or do I hold my nose and vote for Angelides?

holy cow man!
if the rest of the country is running a referendum you must too!
phil is no action star but he wants to help. he's a friend of people not corporations. that''s reason enough.
arnold will blow with the wind. the proof of his crookedness is there. give angelides a chance. we need to get rid of this "i think he's boring" meme. good. boring is better than what we got. and a lot better than a flip flopping arnie.
terminate him!
i'll give you a pink's hot dog to vote angelides!

I voted for Angelides, solely because I want Ah-nold to make movies again. That way, he's easier to ignore.
I'll take that hot dog, but if Tail o the Pup's still open, I'd go there.

no, i also know how to read and research. i know arnold's a crook.
he was elected under his bullshit "i will take no special interest money."
in fact, he's set the california record for raising special interest cash.
but keep believing....
