never mention the little facts about prop 76, the ones the Gub never mentioned and his public realtions folks liked to dance away from, How special all of you are.
A Borrow 5 billion dollars get out of how water clause..
No, we shouldn't sweat the details , should we, FO?
Thanks for continuing to give us a segway to refute your claims.
Why don't you go smear the rest of the conservatives in California, that seems to be about all you are good for here at FR of late.
BOTTOM LINE: the Dems opposed it vehemently and you voted with them.
The Republicans, CAGOP, and conservatives, such as McClintock, Haynes, CA Club for Growth, Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association, San Fernando Valley Town Hall Conservatives SUPPORTED it, and you voted AGAINST it.
You preferred the status quo. The choice wasn't between a "perfect world" whatever that means to people and a flawed one, the choice was between the status quo of mandated spending on schools, per Prop. 98, and no controls on the budget vs. weakening Prop. 98, and controlling spending and giving BACK the governor the right that most CA governor's had until recent years, to make midyear cuts, to have some ammunition against the out of control Dem Legislature.
Where does that put you?
YOU VOTED WITH THE DEMS, instead of for reforms supported by REAL Republicans and conservatives. Rationalize it all you want, either you are a DICC or you've been had, fooled by the Dem agent provocateurs. Communists used to call people who ended up supporting them for idealistic reasons "useful idiots".
That campaign goes up there in the long list of dishonest campaigns. While sitting on a $9 BILLION dollar reserve at the end of the 2004-05 fiscal year, Arnold resorted to the age old threat of "pass Prop 76 or I will have to raise taxes."
That type of dishonesty and rhetoric is what exposed the Prop 76 sham to many.
