Meg Whitman lost. 4 more
Meg Whitman lost. 4 more years of the socialist status quo. + more taxes. Oh Well. Glad I live in Texas instead of California.
Heh! Were the only state
Heh! Were the only state that hasn't fallen victim to the wave of the right wing Christian tea party mental disease thats been spreadin out. Science be praised! Meg can go try and buy Texas or Oklahoma or some other hick state.
Yeah... Thank goodness
Yeah... Thank goodness California hasn't jumped off the cliff with the rest of America and put a Democrat in the Governor's chair. It used to be we were a pioneer in social experiments now we are a bulwark against the tea party and its anti progrsivist stance.
And a bulwark against common
And a bulwark against common sense too.
Maybe we should sell the state to Europe since it follows the same mantras and paradigm.
If I were a Californian, I'd
If I were a Californian, I'd vote for Meg Whitman. Jerry Brown is a walking disaster who wants to raise taxes in a recesion.
Then again electing Him would serve as a visual aid for voters.
Calling california a
Calling california a European style socialist state is quite amusing. Dont be fooled by the accent.Canada is slightly closer but there is still quite a gap.
California Socialist? I was
California Socialist? I was just thinking about how inland conservatives in places like Redding, fresno Orange and Bakersfield were trashing things. Also I found that the GOP in that state are very very KKK. In fact I was homeless around there for awhile. Employers told me they didnt want to hire because they said homeless bums arent good for profit, They persecute and harass homeless there. Also California KKKonservatives are blocking reforms to lower rents and create jobs.
Uh, right I doubt if you
Uh, right I doubt if you being homeless had to do with it. I was homeless in Maine AND Nebraska. In Maine, no one was hiring thanks to tax and spend Baldacci and the Dems in Augusta. I was homeless there for almost a year. then I finally DID get a pace but it was 800$ a month and my job didnt pay enough before I was able to save enough from panhandling recycling and on the few occasions I did get a paycheck from temp agencies to go to Omaha Nebraska. I stayed at the open door mission and it took me only one week to get a job! One month later, I got an apartment. 320$ A MONTh! I didnt even need to rely on welfare either! You will never find this sort of economic liberty where democrats or liberal republicans like the ones you were mentioning are trashing the economy with Europeon economics.
Consider moving to a red state if you are still homeless. BTW, most red states don't have vagrancy laws that prosecute you for sleeping outside, there are Christian rescue missions that have caring staff unlike the morons at government run shelter who are rude and dont care and most of all the spirit of God is there. Atheism is bad for the economy.
DOn't care. If she delievers
DOn't care. If she delievers the goods, lowers unemployment and throws the illegals out and makes the welfare slackers go to work in their places She's got my vote.
So, since she can't deliver
So, since she can't deliver that before the election (and won't afterward, no matter what she promises), you'll be voting for her opponent, yes?
California unemployment
California unemployment 12.4%
WOW! Looks like Europeon style socialism doesn't work after all. Glad I live in Nebraska. We have Unemployment levels between 5-8% AND Low taxes and small government.
DELUSIONAL, MEGALOMANIACAL,
DELUSIONAL, MEGALOMANIACAL, PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, MEG "COW" WHITMAN, WINS!!!!!!
...CORPORATE WHORE OF THE YEAR.
So!! Meg Whitman, megacorporation titan, wants to run the state of California now!! And she wants to run it as she would a business and/or corporation!! Has anyone yet figured it out that these business and/or corporate models have proven to utterly fail the miserable and struggling huddled masses that now comprise the majority of US citizens; all while the top 1-2 percent of our total population can and do flourish in obscene wealth and ghastly corporate entitlements?!?
Meg Whitman, along with anyone like Meg Whitman, will further decay and further destroy the state of California, and any other state in the nation. Are their really any people with discernible I.Q.s that enjoyed the glorious eight year reign of that, well, that IDIOTIC MORON, George W. Bush?!?! Incredible!! And NOW, just to be fair, we are stuck with another one, this time one of the weakest and most ineffectual leaders in U.S. history. Barack Obama, who loudly and clearly promised CONCRETE SYSTEMIC CHANGE...well, NOTHING; He is, in fact, the corporate titans' greatest friend and ally. A veritable QUISLING FOR THE BANKERS!!!!!
Doesn't anyone see that these truly monstrous [corporate] empires have been crumbling left and right, while the ever-shrinking middle class of America, or actually, the WORKING POOR, have been left footing every last dime of their huge bills?!?!? State and Federal governments can not and should never be run like some filthy corporation; that has been tried and has FAILED virtually EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this godforsaken country. Look around you and look at the FACTS.
These people, the likes of Meg Whitman, Republican and Democrat alike, are nothing but dangerously delusional power mongers and megalomaniacal dictators, the very same dictators that have worked tirelessly to keep most Americans as stupid, uneducated and as crazily misinformed as possible; and apparently these people want to put another nail in the coffin. And the unforgivably and increasingly thoroughly ignorant morons that now make up the overwhelming majority of the US population, they, whether Republican or Democrat, will, of course, just keep on voting for these vile and reprehensible pathological LIARS, all the while shooting themselves in their very own filthy feet.
So it is that these people, the likes of Meg Whitman, that are so drunk on power and privilege and truly obscene wealth that they truly think that they and they alone know how to fix this MESS, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Well, in fact, it is those very people that CREATED THIS MESS!! And they, these sociopathic power mongers continue reveling in their 25 mansions and 25 yachts, and repulsively rolling around in their own self-made FILTH and in whatever other inane, ultimately USELESS STUFF they've so steadfastly acquired; and all the while viscously calculating just how to run the entire world; And they do this while totally disregarding ALL FACTS, ALL history, and every last one of history's most important lessons. Furthermore, I do indeed think that playing politics is nothing but a GAME to these people. Just another challenge to conquer so they can put another notch in their gold-gilt belts. It is all utterly appalling. Go ahead: Enjoy your filthy ill-gotten and ultimately WORTHLESS spoils as you RUIN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
The argument is no longer about Republican versus Democrat; the argument NOW brings us straight back to the 1920's era of MONOPOLIES and TRUSTS, wherein it is once again the top 1-2% of the HAVES--and they HAVE EVERYTHING-- versus the 98% of the HAVE NOTS. And it's also the old sharecropping system where 98% of the miserable and huddled masses are quite literally enslaved by the elite and stuck in constant and rising debt to the quisling corporate whores. Nearly all of these wretched politicians are CORRUPT and very nearly all of them do whore themselves to the CORPORATE ELITES. All the destruction can be traced directly to CORPORATE PERSONHOOD. THAT is a FACT and an absolute TRAVESTY!!!
*Please Note: Both Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina and a vast many others, indeed, are Virtually Interchangeable
Cheers!!

Take a chill pill, bro. Your anger is real, clearly, but it is wildly misdirected. As Ronald Reagan once said, "Government is not the solution to our problem, it is the problem." It doesn't matter who is running the show, government simply can't solve every problem known to mankind. Instead, it usually makes matters much worse - e.g., by killing economic growth and favoring special interest groups at the expense of the taxpayers.
You rail against business leaders, yet you have little or no understanding of economics. How can a businessman force you to buy his product or service? If you don't like what the richest 1% of Americans earn, don't buy their goods. You can vote with your wallet. It is a voluntary choice on your part. Government, on the other hand, does not give you a choice. It takes your money through brute force. (Try to avoid paying your tax bill and see what happens.) The only choice you have when dealing with government is to cast your lone ballot once every two years. When dealing with private enterprise, by contrast, you get to vote with your wallet every day, usually multiple times.
You rail against the rich, but the richest 1% of Americans are not a permanent class. If they were, the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Carnagie's would be at the top of the Forbes list of richest people every year. They aren't, because in America you can rise to the top if you serve your fellow citizens by offering them high quality products or services at price points less than what they value them at (subject to the constraints of what your competitors are offering, of course). If you are unable to serve others in this way, stop b----ing and crying about your lot in life. (If I could dedicate a song to you, my friend, it would be "Cryin' Like a B----!," by Godsmack.)
If you had railed against crony capitalism, I would have been far more impressed. Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina did not loot the public when they ran eBay and HP / Compaq, respectively. Save your venom for the real looters - i.e., the businessmen at the Wall Street banks, GM, Chrysler, etc.; not to mention all the public and private sector labor union members who have been getting government handouts at our expense. Crony capitalism requires an assist from government. The only way to reduce this problem is to start taking back the power, money, and influence we have given our political class, so they have less of it to peddle.
Capitalism and crony capitalism are polar opposites. If you understood how capitalism works (i.e., by studying economics), you would understand the difference. Furthermore, you would understand that when one American earns a dollar, it does not mean the rest of us earn $1 less. Economic wealth is not a zero-sum, fixed quantity. Per my earlier comment to Mark Fiore, look up the term, "economic surplus" to see what I mean. While you are at it, look up the terms, "rent-seeking" and "public choice theory."
I can tell you have a lot of passion, but you need to direct your energy at the real culprits in the political class. Not those who they use as convenient scapegoats, like the legitimate business men and women who produce the very shirt you wear on your back.
Harlow, You are right,
Harlow, You are right, sMEGma WHITless is nothing but a corporate whore, but that is how she made her money, Goldman Sachs, insider trading,
and giving herself a 120 million dollar bonus, just before laying off 10% of EBAY's staff. and we won't even go near the federal indictments that were filed against EBAY under her poor leadership..
but i live in the 45th district in California, and had one of the tea baggers so upset when i mentioned that they had an OUTSOURCER,
an INSIDE TRADER,and a serial adultress running as their 3 top candidates, no wonder nobody can take them seriously, then said, darling, fix your lipstick, it looks as if You have been Teabagging....
hugs,
lola
Yeah, you're right Mark.
Yeah, you're right Mark. Meg Whitman never created a single job as CEO of eBay. Furthermore, she never generated any "economic surplus" for her shareholders or the millions of people who have used eBay to buy and sell products in a more efficient manner.
Look up the term, "economic surplus." It will help you understand how free-markets work. Clearly, not your forte. I'll give you a hint: It is the reason why two people engaging in voluntary, mutually beneficial exchange both say "thank you" to one another afterward.
Meg Whitman is a wealth creator. Jerry Brown is a wealth destroyer.
Absolutely correct! What is
Absolutely correct! What is it, 140 Million spent for an $80,000 a year job? I guess that why many folks in California are unemployed, they don't have enough money to buy a job!
Government workers in
Government workers in California are making too much money at the expense of tax payers for a lousy job. Its ridiculous. Money that could provide tax relief for small businesses already being squeezed too much by Sacramento is going into the pockets of government dolts. 80,000 a year? I dont care what her political orientation is. Most of these people shouldnt be getting paid that much especially since government is grossly inefficient. Some of these people get salaries in the six digits! Enough is enough!
Spot on dude!
Spot on dude!
