GOP ballot initiative in CA. raking in cash

[Hawaii Hiker]

Remember in the movie "Wall Street" Terence Stamp's character says "Not only would you sell your mother (to complete a business deal), you'd send her COD"...

Well, we have to realize the Republicans behind the CA. initiative to rig next years election would throw their mother in front of a bus if it meant securing electoral votes for the Republican candiate...They will do absolutely anything to steal the 2008 election...

But hopefully it will be taken to court if it were to make the ballot...

1. Wow, I thought that initiative was dead?

Weird?

2. It was struck down I thought

I guess they are going to try to steal CA votes again. Even Schwarzenegger said it was "unfair!"

4. Do Republicans have some sort of death wish or something?

Nothing good could come from this - just lots of killing.

3. I believe they are paying the homeless with food if they will sign the petition....

I may be wrong on this....but one of the papers I read today said something about the homeless being paid with food to get it on the ballot.

(I'm not inclined to go through the trash to find out which paper it was....but it was either the LA Times or the Daily Breeze.)

5. You are correct

actually it was an article from paper called "LA Downtown News", I'm pretty sure that was it..

There's a site that covers this scam..

9. Thanks Hawaii Hiker...

I tried to find the article in the paper after I posted, and couldn't find it. Thanks for your help.

6. Except for one problem (for them)

If the people signing their crap petition are homeless, then they are *not* registered voters making the petition not worth the paper it's written on!

7. Watch GOP use food to bribe homeless VETS then scream that Dems are trying to

deprive veterans of their vote, even though it is the Republicans who have made it impossible for them to vote by making them homeless.

There are a whole bunch of homeless vets so there are bound to be a bunch on their list if the story about bribing the homeless is true.

8. too bad it's unconstitutional... only the Legislature has the power to make

such a change.

10. Issa is financially backing it.

He is, tragically, my alleged representative; I read the summary of his votes. He virtually always votes the opposite way I would.

11. I', stuck w/Fortenberry here in Nebraska...the guy is a complete

and utter failure...
