Jerry Brown, My Union and Me

Image via Wikipedia

During elections I can always count on my union to send out their totally biased and frighteningly unconcerned with balance voters guide. In the past I have found it to be very helpful, if not disappointing. After I have studied up, to the best of my abilities, trying to see who is actually who and what they really stand for or against, I look to my unions voter guide to help make any final choices.

This voting season has proved to me again that although I can think of maybe two times I have agreed on a political candidate or issue with my union, the guide does provide me with a useful service. If I am not sure if a candidate is a nut, I check my unions voter guide. If he or she is recommended by my union I know for sure I should not, under any circumstances vote for said candidate. This season my union is backing (surprise!) Jerry Brown because they fear Meg Whitman will "ruin education." Yet, the teacher's union will turn a  blind eye to the state of affairs that J Brown left the Oakland school district in . Not only did he create a $100 million deficit, push the district to the edge of bankruptcy, he is also a huge proponent of charter schools. I know charter schools are a wonderful fad and a tiny minority have been successful, but, on the whole they are not  more successful than normal public schools even with the ability to cherry pick high achieving students and jettison those who prove to be "challenging." Charter schools do not need to operate under union control or rules. Charter schools are not a pro-union alternative. But, my union will back J Brown because he is a Democrat.  

So, I call on my fellow educators to look beyond themselves, and not just let Jerry Brown and the Democrats fear you into voting submission. Why vote for someone who will tell you he will protect you and yet, toss you out in favor of the latest politically correct educational fad?

Food for thought:

Democrats vs Republicans - The basic difference is the since 2005, under the leadership of Boxer and the Left over 1.2 million Californians have lost their jobs. She wants to continue those policies, such as shutting down farming for a non-endangered smelt fish. Jobs loss plus higher cost for food. Great leadership by B Boxer.
Boxer also supports crap like "protecting" teacher jobs for students that don't exist.
Money mismanagement 101 (Instructor: B Boxer).
Fiorina knows we need business to flourish if we want jobs for Californians.
VOTE FIORINA!!!!

Jane "the Pain" Harman - She encouraged audience members to vote on Nov. 2, and to stay engaged in public policy.
"We all depend on the best people, with the best skills," she said. "You are those people."
All South Bay voters should be encouraged to vote OUT Harman! She's clueless and companies are leaving with jobs in tow.

Octomom - Some things just should not be allowed. No laws needed, just basic common sense.
Wasn't eight enough?

Heaven help us if Jerry Brown wins.
Jerry Brown will be so "tough" on those nasty rich businesses that they will just move to a business friendly state and take their jobs with them.
Wake up California! Over 1.2 million jobs have been lost in California since 2005 under Democratic leadership!!!

Prop. 19 - Don't hold your breath tokers.
This Prop will blow over soon enough.

It is bad enough that I can't get from my apartment to my car without having to walk through some smokers cloud as they smoke outside their homes. Do I need a group of pot smokers too?
No on 19.

I hate the “polls” because the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party (the nightly news) loves to make it sound like “all” Californians are liberals.
It is time for conservatives to take the state!

Fanny and Freddie, just more evidence that the government can only mess things up.  The basic stance of Democrats is more government control. Reality tells us that more government is NEVER good.

My co-pay and pharmacy co-pays just doubled.
My emergency visit doubled too, from $50 to $100!
I supposedly have a good insurance plan.
How is this better?
Thanks Pres, thanks Dems.
Vote these people out!!!

Meg Whitman - I don't care how much she spends.
I care that she is willing to invest herself and her personal fortune to lead this great state back to greatness.
What does Jerry Brown offer? Who did he say was in his pocket?

If you have a few shots you'd like to add...take a shot!

Brown Vs Whitman Final Debate

I'll admit I am biased toward the right. So, it would be pretty tough for Jerry to convince me to vote for him. He might be able to, if I just took what he said as the complete picture of who he is and didn't consider his past, who he really is. For instance, he says California needs green jobs. Whitman counters with the fact that only 3% of the jobs are green in California and what does Jerry plan to do about the other 97%? Brown just blew by the question and blathered on about Whitman wanting to give "rich" people tax breaks. Again, he didn't say that those same tax breaks would not help Californian's who are not (in his view) "rich." 

I think Whitman has improved as a debater and did very well considering the obviously liberal crowd. I mean, come on, even Wild Bill Clinton recognized Jerry Brown was a self-serving re-invent yourself slouch (takes one to know one sort of thing). Yet the crowd cheered for Brown as he  made emphatic yet harmless points.  That Whitman was able to elicit any kind of positive response from that crowd was actually impressive. I don't think Brown made himself look like any less of an slime-ball in respect to the "whore" comment. 

Browns main objective seems to me to try to convince Californians that now that he is older and married he is no longer a political knucklehead. If your a young voter you won't remember just what a reckless knucklehead he is. He didn't convince me. It doesn't seem like he has to convince your average Democrat. He just has to make sure he casts Whitman in a "rich taking from the poor" light. He will hope that the same people who vote for the likes of Maxine Waters and Barbara Boxer will vote blindly for him also.

The bottom line, over 1,200,000 jobs have been lost in California since 2005 alone under Democratic leadership. Vote the job killing, take your money, turn off your water money mongers out!

Random Thoughts of the Week

Here are a few random thoughts about stuff from the week, enjoy...

Ethics - Rangel admitted he had some "ethical lapses." Waters husband, and therefor her, benefited from the assistance given to One-United Bank. GUILTY.
If these were two Republicans it would be in all over the evening news every day. I am only surprised the the propaganda wing of the Democratic party ran this story before the elections.

CA Legislatures - If they won't vote for cuts, vote them out, because they will just put us in more debt.
If they vote for more taxes, vote them out because working Californians pay more than enough already.

VP Biden - A fool and his mouth are never parted.

Allred - Allred is an ambulance chasing, opportunistic weasel. I will say it again, if this was about the maid, she'd be in court.
It's not about the maid, it's about Brown. What else is brown and sometimes needs to be shoveled?

Nicky - Am I to believe someone who lied about her legality as a citizen, falsified her social security number and more? No.
Am I to believe the greatest known opportunistic lawyer "who can only say" the lie she wants me to believe? Again no.
Who will believe Diaz and Allred? The same people who believed that Wild Bill Clinton didn't inhale and struggle with the meaning of "is."

$111 billion in LA Stimul-less -
1. Sounds like mostly temporary jobs.
2. Sounds like mostly government jobs.
3. Sounds like government mismanagement at its' best.
4. Sounds like a waste of tax payer money.
55 jobs!? Pathetic...

The Propaganda Wing of the Left Attacks Whitman on the Right

Well it didn't take long for the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party to fire a salvo at Meg Whitman. Less than 24 hours after her debate with life-long politician Jerry Brown out comes a "Breaking story" of Meg Whitman being mean to a illegal alien she formally employed as a housekeeper,Nicandra Daiz Santillan. 

Isn't it just too convenient, just too coincidental, just too expected to be a surprise? And who is the slime-ball/ lawyer representing the illegal alien who falsified her documents and lied to Meg Whitman concerning her legal status in the United States? Why Gloria Allred of course. Allred accused Whitman of exploiting, disrespecting, humiliating, and emotionally and financially abusing Nicandra Daiz Santillan. It shouldn't be hard for Allred to find a jury of Santillan's peers.

I would love to be on that jury! Only a liberal like Allred would defend Santillan. She is an illegal alien! She has no rights! Santillan exploited the Whitman's and is now on a mutual exploitation tour with Gloria Allred to see what they exploit from Whitman. Allred, a personal friend of Jerry Brown is doing her part to help.

Allred's appearance should signal to the undecided that Brown stands with those who claim to help the downtrodden but in truth, only exploit them to their own ends. This isn't about Diaz Santillan, it's about Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman.  

The Politician vs. the Businesswoman

Except for the five years I was in college I have lived in California my whole life. I was born here. I have seen governs run our state all over the place. I have seen the Jerry Brown show before and it wasn't pretty. So, after watching the Brown vs. Whitman gubernatorial debate I was wondering who Jerry Brown was talking about. I mean, after he left office the first time, there was no debate over "if" he was an awful governor, just how inept he was. Which begs the question: Who was Jerry Brown talking? If he was 1/2 as competent as he portrayed himself to be, he would of beat Wild Bill Clinton as the  Democratic nominee for President. But, he wasn't then, and he isn't now. 

One of Jerry's favorite scapegoats is "the rich." People like Meg Whitman. Brown did what Democrats love to do  and that is blame rich people for being rich and not paying enough taxes, and that businesses should not be allowed to use "loopholes." It never ceases to mystify me that liberals actually believe they can tax businesses and an economy into growth. Business operate on a profit basis. They need to make a profit to grow. With growth comes the possibility for expansion and new jobs. If you tax a business, they leave to find where they can operate and make a profit, which they have been. 

Meg Whitman stressed that she wanted to bring businesses back to California and thus jobs. California is not a business friendly state. Californians need not only a governor who understands that businesses must flourish but Californians need at state legislature that will vote in business friendly bills. Basically, what Whitman was saying is that Californians need jobs now! One point that she made was that the "green" jobs that Brown refers to only represent 3% of the jobs. Whitman talks about 100% of the jobs and Brown dwells on 3%. 

Over one million Californians have lost their jobs (since 2005) under the leadership of the Democratic state legislature. Do we need a another Democrat chasing out businesses? I say, no.
