How could anyone vote no on prop. 73? I imagine that will pass easily.

The Democrats stand for more entitlement programs and state-run utlities. Wow! Talk about common sense.

Interesting list.
Would like to see a chart like this of frequent posters on FR, sort of an at-a-glance of who supports the dem agenda.
Then again, we know who the DICCs are.

I will repeat what I said on a different thread:
You, on the other hand, have behaved more like a GOP Big Tent RINO, liberal or moderate, endlessly parroting the Arnold line no matter what rational counter arguments may show. When challenged, your reaction is always to proclaim the opposition a tool of the democrats... You're not doing your side (CAGOP Big Tent RINOs) much good."
Sound familiar? Nobody can accuse you of being inconsistent.
