Guess who I'm voting for in the California Governor's race?

Basically, Brown is running as a conservative Republican.

 

It's certainly in vogue nowadays.

 

Whitman seems pretty shifty eyed.

 

Some people will apparently say anything to get elected. I don't think Jerry Brown believes what he's spouting. He's an old-school liberal, died in the wool.

 

Really, Denny? Governor Moonbeam has quite a record of spending in CA. You think he's changed? Meg Whitman is more libertarian than social conservative.

 

Oakland is a shithole.

 

Parts of it are, just like part of every major city.

 

Jerry Brown just seems like that kooky old grandpa who wants to do everything himself and just won't shut up talking.

 

No. Pretty much all of Oakland is a shithole. And don't get me started on the murder rate, the racist cops, and the homeless.

 

Ummm, I know all about Oakland. My brother lived there for 5 years. He lived in the Piedmont area, which is really nice. Allendale Park, Laurel District, Montclair, Oakland Hills and Maxwell Park are all great areas. But, the bad parts of Oakland are BAD...

Anywhere near the flats is bad. I made a wrong turn one night coming back from North Bay and ended up on MLK at about 1 A.M. We stuck out like a sore thumb and I could feel the racial tension as I went into the only gas station that I could find open.

Like every city, its very spotty.

Shit, I think Richmond is worse than Oakland as whole.

 

Jerry Brown has always been a "populist," meaning that he was always an eclectic blend of liberal and conservative. From that video I see he's the same now except with less hair. I used to read his father's interviews when he was Governor and he had the same personality, though he was a more conventional Democrat. That was when governors still had the freedom to oppose the death penalty, and he did. I liked the father more than the son.

 

He is at a stage of his life where he is ready to do that? Really?

What stage were you at before Jerry? The tax and spend to the moon stage?

I guess I read into things too much, Harry Reid has an ad here where he blames the economy on foreign oil and CEO greed.

Then at the end they mention the CEO of MGM saying that Sharron Angle is going to hurt our economy so we should vote for Harry Reid.

It seems like simple logic to me that you shouldn't bash CEO greed and then tells us to vote for you because a CEO said so in the same fucking ad.

 

Well, from that short clip, he seems neat. But sadly, that short clip was the only thing i've ever heard him say.

 

Really? She is spending $100 million to try and buy the governorship. He's doing it frugally. He's a very smart guy, a public servant, and creative. He's never been a traditional Democrat (not that's there's anything wrong with that!)

She's the big spender and the phony, not he.

 

Her own money that she made as CEO of a successful private company. Every cent that Jerry Brown has made comes from taxpayers. Now he wants to defund his fellow government employees? I don't believe it. I'm surprised Denny Crane bought it. I'm not surprised that you condone it.
