"My basic conviction," said Riordan, "is what is in the best interest of the poor. I say put them to work! That would be in the best interest of EVERYBODY.

Sounds like he is trying to have two sides of the same coin. I understand he also contributes money to pro-life groups.

ABORT RIORDAN!!

Here is what Simon said in the first gubernatorial debate in San Jose when a reporter asked the GOP candidates if the party should remove the prolife plank from our platform:

We need to be inclusive, but we also need to stick with our principles and there’s no question about that. We need to be straightforward about what those principles are.

I would not be in favor of removing that issue from the platform.

I am prolife. I believe abortion is wrong, but I understand the law. I believe what we should do is try to see fewer abortions and I believe that will take a number of years to change the hearts and minds of the voters – to sponsor a culture of life.

Simon For Governor!

If REARDON is so convinced of his views, he should start running ads showcasing the fact he's the only GOP candidate who supports abortion on demand. That's what the RINO candidate did her in Illinois...and within a few weeks, the number of Republicans who said they had a "negative" view of her more than DOUBLED. RINOs refuse to accept the only "extremists" in the party are their supporters!

Hey lets leave all moral choices up to the individual then we can have this guy drawn and quartered. I'll supply the horses for that one.

Well, that's very interesting. I'm guessing a lot of you posters are from California, as am I. The airwaves are positively inundated with Davis ads telling about how horrible Riordan is because he gave to pro-life causes, backed Bork for the SCOTUS (because, oh gosh, he wanted to overturn Roe v Wade), etc. etc. You see this ad about every five minutes. It is disgusting, no matter what you think of Riordan. It also insults women, as if that is the only issue they would vote on. Davis has been the worst governor in modern times (excluding Jerry Brown). I am voting for Simon, but you can bet that if this is how Davis attacks Riordan, he'll do it in spades for Simon. Simon better have a really good campaign based not only on his pro-life views, but on all the fiscal mismanagement and Democrat tyranny this state has suffered under one-party rule for decades. If Riordan wins in the primary, I will vote for him. Anyone is better than Davis. I would vote Libertarian except for their insane view on open-borders and Browne's opposition to the war. Open borders are responsible for California's being overrun with illegal migrants, for being under the thumb of the Democrats (who buy votes from immigrants with their give-aways), and for the Arab-Muslim scum who are right now in this country trying to kill every last one of us.
