Flashback: During a CNN interview on “Late Edition” in 1992, Jerry Brown, D-Calif., shocked the audience when he said nearly all of his rhetoric in his first campaign for governor of California was a lie:

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 9:17pmEverything Jerry Brown says is a lie so why would anyone be surprised he said that ? This corrupt guy is bad for California and bad for the human race. One by one America is going to choose what is right for America. It is OUR time to let OUR voices be heard. And any liberal progressives out there that have the courage to read the Blaze, trust us, we are on to you and we are coming for you on 2 November! Unlike Michelle Obama who was never proud of America, I have always been proud of America. God bless this Christian Nation.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 7:52pmWe moved to California some years ago (why didn‘t we realize the state’s political leaning before we decided where to live?). I have come to understand there is a ditzy, weird ethic going on with those who were born here or who moved here to be “freer” in the liveral sense. They are not realistic or logical in their thinking and they absolutely, resolutely despise conservatives. I’m praying something strange and wonderful happens so that Meg Whitman, who is our only hope against Jerry Brown and total destruction financially, is elected. I pray this ad is released on TV and works! If it doesn‘t it’ll be time to move to Texas….

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 8:28pmWhy would you move to Texas from California? Texas only has a state constitutional amendment that disallows a state income tax (I’d like to see how they get 50% of the people of Texas to overturn that), an increase in nearly 10% of jobs over that last decade (of the ten largest states in the union, only Flordia and Texas created jobs over that time), a state constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, a state legislator that meets only 180 days every two years.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 7:39pmThe Democrats didn‘t have and doesn’t have a plan. They were just hoping that everything would turn itself around on its own. That’s why they are going to be voted out and hopefully will never be able to hold office again. Then we can start on the Republicans that think they know best and won’t listen to the people. The Democrats can’t tell the truth because they have no idea what the truth is.

Don’t feel bad, its happening here in AZ as well. And at least several other states if the news reports of investigations are correct. Anyone figure a case will be made in Federal court about the fraud in the states an a activist judge will cause all absentee votes to be tossed?

Remember a few months ago there were reports of CA welfare cards being used in NV and Hawaii ?
Report Post »The story was narrated by the media as if CA welfare cards were being used for unauthorized purposes and then the whole thing was covered up in silence to stop any more bad publicity.
If they would have followed the money ( and the leads), they would have found out the truth . The truth being that there are many many ….many people on welfare who are on welfare in not one but multiple states.
Those on welfare as CA residents may also be on welfare as NV residents and TX residents and AZ residents and OR residents. They would have also found out that welfare cards of other states are being awiped in CA too.
Its not that difficult to nip this waste in the bud, but our government and NAACP and LARaza will never allow the streamlining of welfare .
In addition, they might be residents of different counties , under different IDs..the fraud is staggering and open.
But its like the third rail, no one wants to touch it. Those who can do something about it are the ones who are promoting it.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 9:11pmIn Washington state, too. Dino Rossi lost his last bid for governor after they mysteriously found another tray of ballots after the first couple recounts. Funny how those votes all seemed to be Democrats. This is why I’m not convinced the he will win against Patty Murray. The polls have been very close, and in this state, when the votes are close the fraud decides the election in favor of the Democratic candidate. This won’t be over for years.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 11:19pmJerry will be back to paying off unions like last time he was Governor. In Orange County, circa 1980 he went against the county’s wishes and quit having Cal Fire operate Orange County Fire, just to pay off a union. Today Orange County pays more than double (well over $100 million extra a year) compared to the Cal Fire operated Riverside County Fire Department despite Riverside County having a bigger fire department.
