During his 2004 candidacy for the Assembly, he refused to say whether he was supporting Kerry or Bush. At the same time, he touted his endorsement by Richard Clarke (who was busy attacking Sec. Rice and President Bush).The worst part for me, and the reason for the distrust, is his affiliation with Doerr, Khosla, et al. These people have used the initiative process to weaken constitutional protections over spending and to pass legislation from which they clearly benefit. Whether Insurance Commissioner, or Governor, I prefer elected politicians who will represent the people and do the right thing. I have a hard time believing Poizner is that guy.The Wish List traditionally supports liberal causes. He was making contributions to this fund 2 years ago.
That being said, I am not saying that I will vote against him in the General Election. My original comments were offered as an explanation to a post wondering why the Club For Growth had recommended voting "NO" for him.
Excellent. Thank you for the additional information. Now we are ALL more fully informed.
