<quoted text>Yes they do get welfare. If they have a child thats born here it is eligible. And its not only welfare. Its emergency services, its education, its public transportation, the list goes on.

California is the ONLY Sanctuary State. We vote to destroy all hope for our children in support of the illegal infestation of our schools, hospitals while bankrupting our treasury.

What a legacy of disgrace we have voted to slather ourselves with in California.

Okay I try this real slow for you! You said that Obama was behind BP oil accident! I said it was just like Bush behind 9/11!

Brown is out! We had him. and he's done nothing!
Why in the Hell would we want to vote him back? Forget about the "D" or"R" people. Vote for someone whom you think do better for you. I'm a Democrat. But I'm voting Meg and Fiorina. We had the other two and do your really think they are doing a great job? I can't stand that boxer lady. What the hell is she doing now for us? NOTHING ! so why in the hell would I want to vote for her then?

Brown is done! bye-bye looser!(you to Boxer)
Many Latinos who came here legally are not fond of amnesty for the illegal ones. How they cut in front of the line.
So Jerry will see how he is pissing off Many legal Mexican's as well as whites. The smart ones. Not the dopey stupid ones who are so stupid that they also have sympathy for the murders whom killed your Daughters or Sons. They are hopeless. But more and more people are seeing how America is going down. So out with Jerry and his amnesty for illegals.

On Whitman’s Ties To Goldman Sachs

[Whitman’s] business practices came under intense scrutiny in the fall of 2002, when congressional investigators identified her as one of a handful of corporate executives who had made self-serving deals with Wall Street firms at the expense of shareholders.

After Whitman hired Goldman Sachs to handle EBay’s investment banking business — deals that generated $8 million in fees for the bank, court records show — Goldman gave Whitman early access to initial public offerings of stock for her personal portfolio. The head start on the rest of the market allowed her to sell shares for a profit of $1.78 million.

The deals raised suspicions among regulators that Whitman and other executives, including Kenneth Lay of Enron, were trading shareholder assets — in the form of fees paid to investment banks, for example — for personal gain.

“It is effectively a bribe for future services,” said Mercer Bullard, a law professor at the University of Mississippi and former Securities and Exchange Commission attorney who was not involved in the government investigation.“It was exactly the kind of thing crooked politicians engage in.”

Goldman Sachs and nine other Wall Street firms agreed to stop giving executives they do business with early access to public offerings as part of a settlement with regulators in 2003. Whitman writes in her book that there was nothing illegal about the transaction and that “such investment opportunities were common at the time.”

In a debate last week with her primary election opponent, state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, Whitman said she “did not actually see a conflict of interest” in the deal.“It was a completely separate account that had nothing to do with EBay’s banking business,” she said.“But the truth is leaders have to be above reproach.”

Whitman, who had joined the Goldman Sachs board in October 2001, resigned from it two months after she was named in the congressional investigation. She paid $1.78 million to settle a subsequent lawsuit brought by EBay

Now Meg Whitman is in hot water due to her conduct with a woman named Nicky who used to work for her family until Whitman decided to run for office. Nicky worked for the family using someone else's documentation. In 2003 the Social Security Administration sent a red-flag no-match letter to the Whitman family. Whitman neither reported nor assisted her employee to resolve the situation -- and only fired her when the race for office began years later. Now Meg Whitman, who spent $120 million on ads touting her business acumen and calls for employer responsibility for hiring illegal immigrants, is offering to take a polygraph lie detector test to tell what she didn't know and when she didn't know it. Maidgate has Whitman itching to prove that she didn't make business decisions in running her own household in an effort to avoid the employer accountability she preaches for others.

As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, a woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water. Maidgate is Meg Whitman's tea bag moment.

On Whitman Being Sued For Age Discrimination

The tolerant attitude Whitman displayed on the witness stand in December contrasts with her actions in 2008, when she sued an independent entrepreneur for trademark infringement and “political cyberfraud” after discovering that he had registered several potential Whitman campaign Web addresses, including whitmanforgovernor.com , megwhitmanforgovernor.com and Meg2010.com .
Her complaint demanded hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and an advertising campaign, funded by the entrepreneur, to “correct any consumer confusion or misperceptions.” She took her case to a United Nations arbitrator in Switzerland — where she lost — before signing a secret settlement.

Earlier in her career, she ended another court case with a secret settlement after being sued, at age 39, for age discrimination.

In December 1995, eight months after Whitman took over as chief executive of the flower delivery service FTD, she fired her 55-year-old technology chief, Dave Carlson. She replaced him with a man almost two decades younger, according to the lawsuit Carlson filed in a suburban Detroit court near FTD’s headquarters.
Whitman told some staff members that the company was too “old and stodgy,” Carlson alleged. He also said she told a conference room full of senior managers:“We need about 15 killer young executives.”

FTD’s vice president of government affairs interrupted, telling Whitman that she didn’t mean to use the word “young,” the complaint said.“Actually, I do,” Whitman allegedly replied,“but I get your point.”

Carlson declined to comment because of the confidentiality agreement he signed to settle the case. Whitman’s attorney denied Carlson’s allegations in his response to the lawsuit

JohnnyO; I guess you believe Megs lies! I was around when Jerry was Govenor, we had a surplus of money in the state, we had jobs and California life was great! Yeah we have a problem with Illegals, what are we going to do? The Feds haven't done a thing(not even BUSH!)The Repubs didn't do a thing, no has done anything! Do you really believe Meg is going to do anything? Did you watch her when asked about the question on illegals! Meg had to stop and think what answer she should give! SHe knowingly hired an Illegal(cheap wages)She claim that this women stole her mail and fired her 2 month before she decided to run for Govenor!
This is how the Repubs operate, either they do what Meg did, get caught with little boys or Men in restrooms!

When did Jerry Brown get married. I have friends and and co-workers who have told me he was gay, way back since the 70's. What gives with this marriage to his campaign manager, Is this like Rock Hudsons marriage. I know one other time Brown had a convience maraige to a gay singer!

The LA times refuses to address Jerry gay life style, jerry studied to be a catholic priest. what does that tell you?

All I can say is Brown is better than that creep Newsome, which is not saying much! Brown was a fool last time around, so I can't expect he'll be any better this time. I'll vote AGAINST him. I expect he'll win, so I'll have to hit MUTE on my remote more often!!

Yeah he hired Gloria Inbred to do his dirty work...

Foolish, you are! Republicans are NOT voting for Brown! Democrats have the majority, thus, he'll win because we have more STUPID people here than sane ones. In NO way will he bring Californians together.

I have a lot of friends who are Republican and the can't stand Whitman! They think she is a DUM B ASZ!
