McClintock Ping List.
Please freepmail me if you want on or off this list
I agree on each and every one.
Hmm, some of these will make him unpopular with his running mate.
Tom has more faith in the Legislature spending these dollars than I do. The Proposition sure doesn't nail it down.

I don't.
See you at the polls.
I am at 3 agrees, 1 maybe , the rest No.
You gotta go to the mustang ranch to see more propositions than that.

I hear ya.
PayAsYouGo is not a town near Pascagoula. ;-)
Since the prop system was devised as a way to bypass the state legislature, doesn't that say something about the job they are doing up in Sacmo?
Those proposing and supporting new bonds and taxes are of the opinion that we don't pay enough and/or the legislature cannot be depended upon to fund the "right" things from the existing taxes (those being, apparently, a grab bag from levees to highway equipment to yet more NEA fodder). Those proposing and supporting new laws are of the opinion that the legislature is either ignoring or actively thwarting the public's will.
The one I'm happiest to see is Prop. 90, which will address the horrible Kelo decision by the SCOTUS. It will be interesting to see who opposes it.
We agree - They don't get a dime for ANY bond until they prove they can responsibly handle what they already get.
If the Levee's are so important, take the money from something else that's not so important.
What would be the reason to vote for 90?
I agree 100% with Tom McClintock.
(Surprise, surprise.)
Since Governor and Lt. Governor are separately elected offices in CA, they aren't really running mates. They are both Republican Party candidates, but given the current state of the CAGOP, I don't know how much that counts for. It seems personal appeal counts for more than Party endorsement, these days.
Also, seeing how cross party voting patterns shook out in the recall election, it would seem the CA Dems have a similar dynamic going, with part defecting to the Left/Green splinters, and part to Arnold. Hence, his leftward swing, to retain these normally Dem voters.
I don't think either CA party has a cohesive agenda, enough to attract party line voting. Rather, I believe this election is going to be decided by interest group politics: social/welfare spending, envirals, public service unions, homosexual identity politics, illegal alien vs racism demagoguery, etc.
To avoid eminent domain abuse.
There are some good reasons discussed at their website:
Yes on 90
I disagree with him on 1A and 1E. Other than that, he got it right, ;-)
Sorry,read it wrong, Why would anybody oppose 90?
Good post

The Kelo decision by the SCOTUS made it constitutional to use eminent domain to take private property for redistribution to other private entities, if it was thought to benefit the tax base.They found that didn't violate the 5th A.: "...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
However, the Court said (and almost encouraged outright) that the States could restrict their eminent domain laws to a stricter standard of public use. Prop. 90 does this. You can read the official voter guide info on all these Props here. It has the text, plus the "for" and "against" arguments.
