Feinstein may secretly favor Schwarzenegger- there was a lot of talk going on between her and Richard Riordan.

Can you imagine what would happen if Freepers all over the state, claiming to be Democrats, were to start writing letters to the editor agreeing with DiFi?

[TheDon]

For once, the senator is showing some sense. Now we need to convince other Demorats to follow her lead. ;)

[South40]

Did you see her on the news yesterday saying Arnold didn't look like a 100lb weakling?

Better yet...did you see dave grayvis' face when she said it? lol!

Would Fartstein feel any different about him if Arnold had spent his career making chick flicks? Somehow I doubt it; she has always been a party hack.

McClintock Responds to Bustamante's "Tough on California" Plan


Senator Tom McClintock today issued the following response to Cruz Bustamante's "tough on California" statement.

"I was hoping for more of a message of hope and optimism from our Lt. Governor. What California received was more of the failed Gray Davis type leadership from the second most powerful person in the state. When the Lt. Governor says we have to 'sacrifice' he is not kidding. Unfortunately, it is the hard-working, taxpaying families of California that will suffer and not his special interest and public employee union friends.

"At a time when state government is taking a higher percentage of California's personal income than at any time in our history, Mr. Bustamante proposes a TEN BILLION dollar tax increase. This will mean that working families and small businesses will have to find another $1,150 somewhere in their budgets to continue the Sacramento spending spree.

"Much like Governor Davis, who called his illegal tripling of the car tax a 'cut' in state spending, Mr. Bustamante includes the transfer of some $2 BILLION of mandated socialized medicine costs to small businesses as a 'savings' for the state.

"As for my three simple questions that I asked of Cruz this week, it is obvious that he will not join with me in abolishing the car tax, since he is only willing to return about half of what Gray Davis illegally took from motorists. There was nothing tough on energy—as he said nothing about the $42 billion of overpriced power contracts.

"Finally, there was certainly nothing tough on the applicant attorneys and special interests since he did not mention the third major crisis of the Davis administration. My plan to replace California’s broken Workers’ Comp system with the successful Arizona model would save state and local governments at least $2.5 billion annually.

"It’s time Cruz Bustamante explains why we should vote no on the recall but support him for governor. He can’t have it both ways. If he thinks Davis' dismal record is worth defending, he should make that case. If he really wants to replace him, how would he do things differently?"

Feinstein is probably secretly ticked off that she got head-faked so badly by Arnold's "likely not to run" story that caused her not to run herself. Now it's "woman getting even" time.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Feinstein's statement that she wouldn't vote in the Oct. 7 recall election for a replacement candidate was seen as a blow to the campaign of Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante.

Mu ha ha haaa. Divided and conquored.

Two comments about Feinstein's announcement:

1. Obviously this is a none-too-subtle slap at The Wreck Of The Cruz Bustamante. She is smart enough to know that he's a not-too-bright leftist who's gotten by, thus far, on luck and exploitation of ethnic angles. Plus, he openly defied her call for other Dems to keep out of the race.

2. She's lying, in my opinion. Notwithstanding #1, of course she'll not throw away her vote. Whatever else DiFi is, she isn't one to relinquish power for no good reason.

[HHFi]

I just find it hilarious to hear all these Democrats spew their "outrage at the recall election." Imagine a bunch of peons thinking they have the right to choose their own leaders by popular vote without having them vetted by the parties and their special interest benefactors first, just because it's in the constitution! Why, da noive!!

[Uncle Hal]

Rush brought up the point that this appears to make DiFi anti Hispanic since she is saying do not vote for the hispanic guy. If this had been a Republican the liberal media would have been all over her.

[CyberAnt]

Boxer is now saying the same - no on recall - not voting for a replacement.

This only helps the GOP - so who cares.

[ZviTheWise]

Time for some smart Golden State Repubs to start printing and posting fliers that say "Democrats - Show your outrage - Boycott the recall election!"

[1Old Pro]

He must have paid her off with something REALLY BIG. Unless of course he has some "secrets" on her.

Don't just stand there, Tax A Move. (Cruz Bustamante / "Bust A Move" parody ... shameless plug)
