Are you f*cking stupid?
Latino voters are citizens. Prop 187 was in regards to ILLEGAL ALIENS, not latino voters.
Bush knows Riordan can beat the unpopular Davis — who is uncontested on the Democratic side.
No, Riordan can't beat Gray Davis. Not without the GOP base, who will sit the November election out if no viable conservative candidate exists.
By the way, President Bush will support whichever GOP hopeful wins today.
Riordan isn't conservative enough for the Republicans. And Republicans are buying this?
Yes, because it's absolutely true. Why would Republicans support a Democrat who claims to be a Republican?
The sad thing is that California's fringe-right Republicans are more than happy to lose again. They love losing. They haven't won anything important in years.
We like to further our party's supposed conservatism, not elect fake Republicans in order to have a fake victory.
Here he is, Richard Riordan, a Republican who can not only win in California, but who shows just what kind of Republican will win in the years to come.
If that's true, then the GOP will be a minority party very soon. A party without principle is not worth supporting.
In the post-Sept. 11 era, more and more Democrats like me will be looking for smart, moderate Republicans.
Why don't you force your own party to become less socialist and more centrist then? Why do you want to destroy my party?
Nothing against GOP candidates Bill Simon and Bill Jones — two smart guys who will never be elected as governor — but a primary victory by either of these guys will only ensure that Gray Davis gets another four years to muck up the state where I live.
Why don't you vote against him in the DEMOCRATIC primary then? There is another Dem candidate by the way. Oh yeah, he's pro-2nd Amendment rights.
I'm a lifelong Democrat. But I just happen to be a Registered Republican this time around, and I'll be voting for Riordan.
Thanks a lot. A fake Republican voting for the fake Republican candidate. You Democrats certainly are pains in the ass. You are a fool.
And a majority of Latino voters DID vote yes on 187.
It's nice to see people from outside California telling us about ourselves, and our voting habits. The last conservative to run for office was Hershensohn, and he's been the closest to winning in any election in 10 years.
