Riordan didn't think Simon was "viable", but we proved him wrong.

What is Simon's position on illigal immigration? I'm just asking because I have yet to see anything on this from him. Has he publicly stated his views on this issue?

Well lets just put it this way, apparently Bush is supporting giving amnesty to millions of criminal illegal aliens, which will encourage many millions more to head northward, Bush backed Riordan, not Simon. To me this is somewhat revealing.

And if Simon speaks out and supports this criminal amnesty before the election, he wont get my vote.

Simon is Vice Pres of Catholic Charities in LA. He reports to Cardinal Mahoney who avidly supports the illegals. When Simon was confronted on a local LA radio station, he took the usual "immigration is a federal responsibility" BS.

Why did I vote for him? My choice was Bill Jones who did not have the bucks for TV ads (which is the info source for the idiot Joe Sixpacks of this state). I loathed Riordan. He is not only avidly pro-illegal alien, he is also for gun control. He didn't do much for the LA economy despite his promises.

I was mad as hell at Bush for pushing Riordan. If he had stayed out of the race, we might have had a chance. By the way, speculation about why Bush picked Riordan was because Bill Jones had supported McCain in the 2000 primary. So Bush's people wanted to punish him.

The BS that only a "moderate" can win in California is just that!! Peter Wilson became the governor by supporting Prop.187 (would have stopped tax payer support of illegals going to our k-12 schools, getting free medical care, and would have clamped down on fraudulent document makers!!

Unfortunately the idiot Republican who followed him (Lungren) was like Bush (making excuses for illegals)and he turned off the conservative base in disgust. So Davis won! (He also had the monetary support of the big gambling casinos on the Indian reservations in CA, as well as the teachers' unions, and the govt employee unions.
