Mike, I’m no reporter. Neither are you. I’m an advocate for free markets and lower taxes. I do debates and write opinion columns. Do you not understand the difference?

Actually, most “reporters” have a bias for your Big Government side, and it shows through in their articles. I’m sure you have no idea what I’m talking about.

Mike, I actually look forward (in a perverse way) to the disaster that is AB32. And the irony is that the black and Hispanic working communities likely will not connect the dots. Doubtless neither will you. And your “reporter” friends are likely to miss the connection as well.

Stockholm Syndrome, really? So everyone who supports AB32 are racist and now delusional as well? I’m sorry but it sounds like their is no trace of a cogent counter-argument against AB32 anywhere on this entire page.

And the main article is a pathetically transparent attempt by a conservative to call progressives racist(for a change).

Aren’t reporters supposed to be “objective” and report facts instead of claiming that people who don’t agree with them are self-deluded? Ugh.

The frisky part of me (the repressed dark side) hopes Prop 23 is defeated and we get AB 32 — good and hard. It will be a painful lesson, but perhaps one that Californians need to learn.

True CA reform will come only after the public is thoroughly convinced that we are traveling down the wrong road. We ain’t there yet.

Already this year business departures from CA are TRIPLE last year’s outflow, and that’s calculated with 3 months to go. Our utility costs are already among the highest in the country — BEFORE AB 32 takes effect.

OK fraudsquad, so Maviglio called in a few favors. Those people running those organizations & making the decision on which political side to take, are not the people working 10+ hours a day out in the sun. They are not doing the back breaking work, they are not struggling to feed their families, they are not losing their jobs & homes, they simply play administrator for the Association and rub elbows with political hacks in order to advance their own agenda.

It must be nice to sit in your Ivory Tower, drink finely aged scotch, and smoke Cohibas with Arnold while the rest of the state is suffocating under the weight of an abuseive, corrupt, & bloated Bureaucratic disaster known as CARB.

While you are cashing your checks from these lying hacks, the peasants you dont care about will be cashing their unemployment checks, at least until unemployment benefits get cut off due to lack of funding. Its somewhat strange that you are able to sleep at night considering the amount of economic devistation & poverty that will be created from all of your lies & political pandering. It takes a disturbed kind of person to intentionally put families on the streets for a few thousand dollars. I hope you enjoy your paychecks considering that they are created by killing the source of income for hundreds of thousands of California Families.

All those groups mention are suffering from political Stockholm Syndrome:

This is news to the Black Chamber of Commerce, which recommends NO on 23.

This is news to the Latin Business Association, which recommends NO on 23.

This is news to the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, which recommends NO on 23.

And I guess this is news to the largely African-American and Latino neighbors of the two Texas oil companies bankrolling Prop 23, who have witnessed hundreds of air pollution and water pollution violations, and are voting NO on 23.
