I haven't even gotten around to forming an opinion the bond thang. The point is McC couldn't wait to voice his objection (sans his lofty solutions) of course.

See my post #81 about the "acceptable" way McC could have done it vs. the way he did do it.

(of course, he could have just kept his mouth shut and stayed away from TV cameras, but I know that would be too much to ask of him)

Exactly.

Either McClintock had no idea how the media would play this, in which case he's irresponsible.

Or he knew exactly how they would play it... in which case he's irresponsible.

Among other things.

Point taken.

I voted for Governor Swartzenegger and will continue to support him in every way possible.

But his raising taxes -- and a "bond issue" by any other name is only just a milimeter short of "inflation" among the most insidious ways of raising taxes [On the unborn!] -- is not one of them.

When you and I have max'd out all of our accounts to the point we are being charged "defaulter" rates of interest and can no longer pay our credit card bills, we do not go to Wells Fargo and/or Bank of America with any reasonable expectation of success -- and ask for more money to spend.

And Governor Swartzenegger had better be awake to them's-the-rules for the state gummint, too -- and make massive spending cuts -- or he's gunna be oudda there so quickly his feet won't touch the ground!
