So it wouldn't bother you in the least if Bustamante was crowned governor?

Sure it would. But if he won fair and square without the usual Rat ballot stuffing, then that's simply the way the cookie will have to crumble. I don't see how Bustamante is that much worse than Ahnold. I really don't. Both will raise our taxes, but at least Busty is open and honest about his intentions.

Once again I see someone saying straightfacedly that Schwarzenegger WILL raise taxes, as if there were no dispute about this.

*sigh* Look, I suppose it's possible, but in order to believe so, you must discount as a lie just about every statement AS has made on the subject. He hasn't lied to me yet, and neither has McClintock. I don't think either of 'em would raise taxes (except in that earthquake scenario, perhaps?).

Gee you make Bustamante sound swell. Well sorry but I see a whole boatload of differences between Bustamante and Arnie.

1. Busty said he will raise taxes. Arnold said he wouldn't (though he hasn't taken a pledge)
2. Arnie supports prop 187. Busty wants to make California part of Mexico.
3. Arnie says that immigrants should come here legally. Busty wants to give drivers licenses to illegals.
4. Arnie is registered a Republican and campaiged for Presidnent Bush. Busty says California's problems are Bush's fault.
5. Busty has the support of the Democratic party. Arnold has the Democratic party quaking in their boots.

Sorry I see a few differences. I'll stick with Arnold (or another Republican frontrunner.) Thanks. Your welcome to throw your vote away on Coleman if makes you feel somehow more principled.

Ambrose, with all due respect, if you don't see how Bustamante is vastly worse than even Davis, let alone Schwarzenegger, then I genuinely feel sorry for you.
