A republican Law-Breaker

Awwww, say it ain't so. Here all the republican spin has led me to believe only evil Democrats break the law. Seems Herr Gropenfuhrer made a little mis-step while running to be the Governator.

A last-minute, $4.5 million bank loan Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger used to finance his own campaign in the days before he was elected was illegal, a Sacramento Superior Court judge ruled Monday.

Judge Loren McMaster's ruling finds that Schwarzenegger violated Proposition 34, which prohibits a candidate from lending more than $100,000 to his or her campaign.

When reached for comment, the Gropenator's press secretary said that after word had reached them about the judges ruling at 10 AM, the "Governor decided to investigate the (alleged) misconduct, and that by 2PM had decided that an investigation was not needed."

I guess he'll just have to go make another bad flick to pay off the fines. Oh, wait he already has.

Did an exit poll in in NH tonight, froze my butt people to people. Most voters care, are concerned about the media- gave votes away on it's basis.But they feel we are the majority,Black box voting cannot subvert common knowledge: Mr Bush is way wrong, read the post and the one below it ( scroll down).
Bush is catalyzing old and young. http://www.estimatedprophet.blogspot.com/2004_01_25_estimatedprophet_archive.html#107525122952384946..

Well, what were those CA voter thinking, approving a campaign-finance proposition that doesn't have a death-penalty provision?

The ONLY good idea to ever come out of California was "Right turn on red light."

A little background:

To avoid people finding out who their supporters really were, pols were loaning money to their campaigns and having supporters pay off the debt after the election.

That way you could prove that you didn't accept campaign funding from developers or polluters during your campaign, but then they paid off your debt after the election. Nice people, pols.

Voters got annoyed and passed Prop 34 to stop the practice. It wasn't really designed to prevent wealthy people from buying elections.
