Im a Californian and it honestly didnt matter who was gonna be governor, Brown or Whitman, the
re wasnt a good choice. Whitman was an idiot and had no government experience. She also buried herself with the whole illegal housekeeper scandal and forgetting to vote all those year. she also dug a deeper hole when it came out that she laid off thousands of workers at Ebay and gave herself a huge bonus. Brown caused a lot of the problems that we are now experiencing, but he had experience and was the democrat. after 8 years of a republican, i think we wanted to democrat again. thats where to vote stood. Brown won a huge majority of the vote, not necessarily because he was the best candidate, but in order to keep Whitman out of the governors mansion.
You don't need government experience to run a state - you need business sense. And that Whitman had. And, as for that ridiculous crap about the illegal housekeeper, that was just shit created by the left wing media to discredit her - she did nothing wrong. If you would exercise 'Common Sense' instead of just using it as a snappy screenname, perhaps you would be more intelligent.
Brown is a fool. He was a fool last time and he will be a fool this time. However, generally speaking, Californians are not very smart.
since CA is over 50% hispanic now, it is a big deal. she said she wanted to crack down on immigration and deport illegals. all the while she employed an illegal for over 9 years. thats not a made up story, its a fact, and Whitman even admitted it, as soon as she fired the housekeeper. in essence, she was promoting the very thing she was running against. prove me wrong, prove that she didnt employ an illegal for 9 years! not just a few months, but 9 years! you call it a talking point, i call it a fact.

"Fines Increased for Knowingly Hiring Illegal Immigrants
Most employers are already aware that they must verify that their employees are eligible to work in the United States, and that they may be fined if they knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Currently, those fines vary from $250 to $11,000, depending on the offense. The United States Attorney General and Homeland Security Secretary recently announced that these fines will be increased by twenty-five percent, the first such increase in nearly ten years. The government also announced that it is working on a plan to increase criminal penalties for the most egregious of employer-offenders."

no matter what you want to think, she broke the law. prove me wrong on any of this.... ohhh that right.... you cant because its already been determined to be factual.
They come because WE DEMAND THEM.
I argue this all the time and most deny or ignore it.
If we did not HIRE THEM AND PUT THEM TO WORK 95% of them would never come.
