Go Vote! Don't know what to vote for - vote like me! Hillary Clinton No Prop 91 - even the authors say no (makes you want to vote yes ... hehehe) No Prop 92 - no funding source (plus I'm sick of the firefighter ads .... gotta go to work now) Yes Prop 93 - Term limits suck! Yes Prop 94-97 - Put on the ballot by No supporters (primarily Vegas casinos & CA racetracks) who want to overturn an existing agreement made by the governor and approved by the legislature. We shouldn't even be voting on this.
Sorry, but you've got to vote NO on 93. This is a trick by the current legislators to avoid being term-limited out of office, they want to restart the clock. Everything else is up to you.
I don't like term limits. We should be able elect who ever we want as many times as we want. whether that's Don Perata or even Tom McClintock. Term Limits - another bad idea brought to you by the deceptive advertising of the California Initiative process.
We are a state with 36 million people. Surely we can find a couple of dozen in that group qualified enough to replace the current set of clowns once every 12 years. We need to get out of "gerrymandered" districts where 90% of the politicians are in "safe" seats. All they have to do is win the primary and they are "king-or-queen" of that district for life. We are not a monarchy. Term-limits are just a band-aid to the real problem of incumbents entrenched in power. OK, I've got to go vote now.
I agree on Clinton (I'd vote Obama in a few years, but he's not ready to be president yet). Also agree on Prop's 91, 92 and 94-97. Disagree on 93. I'm all for people continuing in public service, but find a different job. Their argument of a merry-go-round is absurd. If they can't get something done in the current time they're allowed to be in office 8 or 6 years in the various legislature houses for 14 years total... then they shouldn't be in office because they're ineffective.
Me too. Voting is always fun, particularly seeing the ballots change every year to supposedly make it "easier" for morons to vote. But no matter what they've done someone always finds a dumber American. The "complete the arrow" ballots this year were particularly novel. It'll be fun to see how some idiot "disenfranchised" voter finds a way to mess it up.
Damn right buddy! Well, I know of someone who keeps yacking but doesn't vote because of her "religion" (thinks that it's only up to the "Supreme Being" to decide and not the people who run office)--I don't care but if you didn't vote you got no right to complain. One other guy who didn't vote the last go round said that he had "lost" his whining priviledges when he couldn't get to the polls. and since I voted too, I can yack all I want. --- Term limits are at the hands of the politicians--they all want to use it to their advantage. Been an old time and tried trick--they'll vote out the ones who've been around for so long who are not in their party but when they have the upper hand they want to keep going. Well, wait until November--the fate of the world is at your hands.
