37. This is pure baloney and I am OVER IT
I just got done with a RECALL in California where i heard the same crap about Gray Davis.

Davis had signed legislation that provided funding for Olive View Hospital and other hospitals in major metropolitan areas to provide medical care for indigents free of charge...this meant everything that a county hospital USED to provide in the 70's until funds dried up. He made it much easier for the poor to obtain medi-cal and for disabled to obtain medical care. His legislation went far beyond what is provided federally and he DID it for a state of 36 million people.

In his gubernatorial appointments he gave every minority and GAY people a seat at the table on committees that vetted policy and MATTERED.

He forced industry's hand on unfettered development.

When the time came the people who depended on these services most DID vote for him, but PURIST LEFTISTS wrote editorials claiming there was no difference and the system was corrupt and blah blah blah.

I am sick of the left using THEIR electoral power to undermine and FUCK the people that really need it.

All of Davis' funding programs for indigent medical care are either on the chopping block or already chopped.

Thanks for caring but the people who really need you to care probably wish you had at least known the POLICY ISSUES prior to vetting the propaganda.
