Good thought: Vote "NO" on ALL California Ballot Initiatives

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

I agree with this 100%

There is only one proposition I would vote for, and that would be a proposition to amend the state constitution to abolish voter propositions.

There are 120 members of the California state Assembly and Senate. Each one, elected by popular vote, earns a full-time salary. Is it too much to ask that these people actually write the laws, and spare me the pain of reading a 190-page voter guide and waiting half an hour in line to vote while some octogenarian pulls 40 levers before he even gets to the first actual election on the ballot?

This direct democracy thing Californians seem to be in love with is a disease. I’m voting No On Everything.

1. Bull. Prop 215 was the best thing this state ever did.

Face it. Some issues, politicians are far too chickenshit to touch.

2. Phillip Morris and Chevron thank you

Just what they want, Yes on 87 ( 86 not sure yet, but I know who's against it)

3. Yes on 86 and 87. No to all the others.

4. Proposition 86, at least, is bullshit.

A tax to provide handouts to hospitals and HMOs is completely stupid; there's also going to be the unintended consequence of a black market in the sale of untaxed cigarettes. (Not to mention that it's a regressive tax.)
