I might beg to differ with that One. The left made many advances, albeit, most are headed in the over the cliff direction into the abyss, and quite a few GOP'rs seem to be wanting to do the some...
Wow, Arnold is turning out to be exactly the commie type that which he ran from as a young man. I say Maria is the cause of this. Did the testosterone over-doses make him lose his balls?
Car tax!
LOL! Where do these Communists go to school anyway? America? That would make sense since people today are dumber than rocks when it comes to E 101.
Exactly where would the money come from if they put the costs on the oil companies?
Oh, thats right. You. The consumer.

Conservative California - Had Enough Yet?

A major coalition, much like the one formed for the recall effort, will be needed to make this happen.
He also signed SB777. which bans anything in public schools that could be interpreted as negative toward homosexuality, bisexuality and other alternative lifestyle choices.
There are no similar protections for students with traditional or conservative lifestyles and beliefs, however.
If you GOP and conservative voters of Ca vote again for this quisling then you deserve everything that you get.
The first time was totally understandable, but we all know exactly what this guy is now.
For Christ's sake, even if you had Bustamonte, you could lay the blame for the fallout, sky high taxes, fees, and other costs squarely on the liberal trash that infests that state, but now Arnold has done incredible damage to the state GOP as well.
Benedict Arnold, indeed.
A real life, worst case scenerio.
My car insurance costs dropped way down too. The high rate of auto theft in San Diego really drives up insurance rates in that area.
“Consumer advocates condemned the bill for putting the costs on the backs of motorists rather than oil companies. “
?????????????????????????????????????????????
Do they really EXPECT the oil companies to ABSORB this reduction in their already lucartive profits?? It will just be passed on to the consumer.
Better to provide tax incentives to companies involved in alternative fuel development and research. But when you sleep each night with a KENNEDY, it can warp your mind
(and probably other bodily parts too.)
I don't get this one. Is this intended for California manufacturers of children's products/toys? Are there even any left? I thought we imported most of these kinds of products (most of them laced with lead)?
I don't care who you are...now that's funny!
First time I bought a car here in “zero sales tax” Delaware, I was surprised to see an item on the final bill of sale that was nearly $1,000. It was a “Documentation Fee”, not ever to be confused with a “tax”. It is a percentage of the sales price of the car, and sure does FEEL LIKE a sales tax.
Whenever government makes you pay, it’s a tax.
It’s time for you to SELL that 2nd pollution producing automobile that you own! Show some compassion and sell it to someone who doesn’t speak English. If you want to be real nice, don’t demand cash, take a check.
LOL, in other words, "thrown down the toilet of government grants, studies, commissions, and kickbacks."
At least the talk of amending the Constitution so this liberal scumbag can run for President has stopped. Whew!

It's safe enough for surgical tubing but not for toys. One wonders who's patented the substitute plasticizer.
