My problem with Whiteman is that for 28 years she didn’t vote. PERIOD! During that time she took a pass on voting for Reagan twice, Bush I twice, Dole, and Bush II twice.
She didn’t vote to oust our three Supreme Court justices at the state level when you and I did. She didn’t vote for Proposition 13, Proposition 187, or any of a myriad of issues that were very important. With our state going into the toilet, she didn’t even bother to vote in the 2003 recall election. She just didn’t think it was worth her time to register and do her civic duty.
During this period she did take time to donate money to Liberals. Most recently she signed on to become the finance chairman for McCain’s Presidential election bid. Anotherwords, after coming out of the political lock box after decades, she chose the most liberal Republican to do it for.
Look at MeCain’s record I’ve posted here a number of times. Is that something you can sign on to? Meg Whitman did. And this is all Meg has to go on besides claiming she managed an auction web site successfully. IMO, there was a vacuum in this area and Meg was lucky it took off like it did. I do not give her special credit for having the technical, creative, or even managerial savvy to be able to take the credit for this. She walked into a gift position, and things fell in place for her. Now if we’re to take her at her word, she’s the only reason E-Bay was successful. It was her gifted leadership that caused E-Bay to prosper. I’m not buying into that. I think the company would have done just fine with about any nitwit in there.
She has no political experience whatsoever. She has no record of any kind. She’s a blank slate just like Schwarzenegger was. He was going to fix things too.
Meg can go fly a kite as far as I am concerned. She’s a nitwit with a pocket book, and that’s about it.
As for me being afraid of Jerry Brown, let me tell you something. If Jerry screws up, at least the other side will take the blame. If Meg screws the pooch, she’ll have joined Schwarzenegger to give us about 11 years of shi—y governance at the hand of Republicans. I know of no better way to make sure no Republican gets elected for that position for another thirty years.
There’s no way I want to buy into that. Give me a known Conservative or get out of my face. (not you particularly), but the people who keep drudging up these drones that prevent us from getting a real good team we can vote for.
Tell hell with this repeat performance.
OK, but I wish there was a primary alternative and no the hobson’s choice of a liberal or a RINO. Jerry brown will kill what’s left of cali.
