There's no way I'm voting for 93, even *BEFORE* I found out it benefits Royboy.

Reagan would hold whatever position was on the teleprompter.

Reagan, Schmeagan.

Why does it matter a rat's rectum what Reagan may have thought or done?

He was at best a mediocre president whose trickledownless Reaganomics threw the country into economic recession.

He wasn't even a good actor.

It is inexplicable why Republicans continue to point to Reagan as some sort of political administrational god.

Now, the Republicans' second go around with repackaged trickle down economics has been at least as disastrous, perhaps worse.

Nothing has ever trickled down from the fat cats to the middle and lower classes, the rich merely got richer and the poor poorer.

If reduced consumer spending is the cause of recession and trigger for a stimulus package, we're headed down the economic toilet because the lack of trickle leaves folks with little or nothing to spend.

Now they think they're going to shut up the disgruntled and fix the problems with a $500 or so tax break band aid?

They think people are going run right out to Urner's and buy a big screen TV or new refrigerator and that's going to make everything all right?

What are you going to do with your rebate?

Like most everyone else, your rebate/deduction will either go toward your remaining tax liability, servicing your other deep debt or heating your house for a few more hours if you still have one.

Right up to the brink of disaster they assured us the economy was healthy.

Yeah, consumers were spending all right, jamming up their 30 percent credit cards buying stuff they don't need and coud't otherwise afford.

Now they're maxed out and can't get any more credit to buy anything.

Like Reagan, today's Republicans still want "smaller government" when what the country really needs is more government regulation and oversight of the myriad financial abuses like predatory lending, price gouging in the health care and energy industries and other corporate shenanigans which have again driven the nation into yet another Republican-caused recession or worse.

Reagan, Schmeagan.

People misunderstand Reagan. What he really accomplished was tearing down the wall with Mexico. I will vote NO! on 93.

So he was geographically challenged as well as historically.  "Senor Gorbachev, tear down this wall.  Ich bin ein burrito."

Hey Ashbum, give us all a break. Anyone can see the Prop 93 is a sham to keep yourselves in power. The only reason that the primary was moved up was to pass this legislation. God forbid you and the Speaker Nunez get out of office (thanks by the way for not keeping any of your promises). You two are perfect examples of bad politicians. I mean to portray this legislation as anything but just a way for you to keep power is despicable.

I don't even know this Abernathy, but I venture to guess if you’re attacking him, he’s probably a good man. He probably believes that government should serve its people and the people it employs should be looking out for the people’s interests, not your own selfish ones.

He probably also believes people aren’t complete idiots and can see through the shame you support. Heck he might even believe that politicians should do what they say. Sleep tight Ash bum and Nunez, your days are numbered and all the time you waste on trying to hold on to power (instead of working on real problems) will be over..

I can hardly wait to vote no on everything, especially 93. When will proposition 86, reducing the nunber of legislators by 50%, be on the ballot?

Abernathy doesn't support 93 because it gives him more candidates to push for offices. It's a business decision, not one of principles. And what would Reagan do? Well, as he's dead, it's rather a moot point, isn't it?

Seriously, Ronald Reagan was a disaster for this nation. Jimmy Carter caught a lot of flack and maybe the only thing Reagan had going for him was he was cheery and optimistic (rather like many clueless idiots), whereas Carter was dour and seemed hangdog all the time. Carter wasn't a good president, either, but for folks to hold up Ronald Reagan as some kind of revered leader we should all aspire to be...no thanks.

Robb Prop 86??? Stop it ,it hurts to laugh..

OK, I won't get into the details of Prop 69. 

*chuckles* 'cause my chest really does hurt...now there's two prop.s I want the bumper sticker for!
