Can you create a real question? I'll be happy to answer one.

Sure, since you missed the multiple posts in which I did exactly that.

Here's a couple:

1. Do you endorse Meg Whitman as Governor of California?

2. Do you agree with Mitt Romney's endorsement of her?

3. Do you believe, since there isn't a shadow of doubt that the woman is a hardcore liberal, that Romney's endorsement of her goes to his veracity during the last election, especially in light of his decades-long support for the exact positions she espouses?

I'll await your succinct, honest responses.

I don't endorse any candidate for the Gov. of CA. I don't live in CA, and couldn't care less who they elect.

2. Do you agree with Mitt Romney's endorsement of her?

This is just question 1 with Mitt Romney added in. Same answer applies.

3. Do you believe, since there isn't a shadow of doubt that the woman is a hardcore liberal, that Romney's endorsement of her goes to his veracity during the last election, especially in light of his decades-long support for the exact positions she espouses?

There you go again. You just can't ask very many questions without burying accusations inside, passing them off as established fact.

there isn't a shadow of doubt that the woman is a hardcore liberal....

As usual, your hyperbole discredits your whole argument.

Here is an excerpt from Whitman's testimony before Eric Cantor's Working Group regarding the stimulus.

In my judgment, we have to avoid, at all costs, tax increases. That would be the worst possible thing to do and will make a bad economy even worse. Beyond that, targeted tax relief should be expanded upon. We need to make permanent the R&D tax credit which is especially important to technology oriented companies which has been the growth engine for California and many tech oriented state economies....

We also need to reduce corporate tax rates. This applies to small, medium and large businesses. At 35 percent, we have the second highest corporate rates in the world. It restricts the growth of small enterprises that need to plow capital back into their businesses and forces companies and jobs to move overseas.

Let me now briefly turn to ways we can help the middle class. Permanent reductions in marginal tax rates for the middle class will have a much greater positive impact than just providing refundable tax credits. We have learned time and again that refunds alone do very little to stimulate the economy and improve peoples’ economic lives unless they are coupled with permanent tax cuts. We should also not raise any personal or investment tax rates. At exactly the wrong time it will hurt our ...

There is also a youtube video of the testimony where one can assess her demeanor and sincerity of commitment to fiscal conservatism: Economic Recovery Working Group Hearing

She is far from the perfect conservative, but she is certainly no "hardcore liberal." The sad reality for Californians is that a perfect conservative would have a very hard time winning statewide office here.
