That's a little comical. I don't recall sales tax being raised throughout the state following any earthquake in southern California, though do remember it twice for cities in the north.
Riordan is a southern California businessman who's not too apt to take worthless socialistic promises for goods and services, in this case, electrical power.
He did let the DNC shake us down here in LA during that...party's convention, for $2 million that he didn't want to spring for with his own dough. But at that, he was only serving as mayor for one dollar per year. So it's hard to see how we might've come out behind.
Somehow, at the end of the day, I think we could a lot worse here in CA than electing Riordon governor.
Well you are one of the few here on FreeRepublic who feels that way. Most of us think that liberals and Democrats don't help things, and in fact make them worse. If you like Riordan fine, that's your right. But why waste your energy swapping one liberal for another. There is very little that is different between the two, and in some cases Davis is more conservative than liberal Dick.
Meanwhile conservative leaders up and down the state and across the country are backing Simon.
If you like liberal statists, you must be a very happy person right now. The silently suffering patriots in Claifornia on the other hand, have had enough of the social decay that Davis and Riordan and their ilk have heaped upon us. Change is in the wind.
Rioradan wants us to forgive him for contributing millions of dollars to liberal Democrats because he was looking out for LA.
Riordan was endorsing Democrats for public office because he was looking out for LA.
I think he has convinced us that he is looking out for LA, but what about all of the Republicans who want a very different agenda than put forth by Mr. Riordan?
