That would be their fault, but that doesn't change my reasoning. (To give a comparable situation, if a law would lead to a higher suicide rate, I'd think that would be a reason to <I>not</I> support it.)<BR/><BR/>I don't think that the benefit 73 would have provided would have been worth that cost.L33tminionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072892843237363419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082209.post-1131591696929044982005-11-09T22:01:00.000-05:002005-11-09T22:01:00.000-05:00I'm pro-life. I support virtually any restriction on abortion you can find. Letting 14-year old girls get abortions without the knowledge of their parents is <B> not </B> a good idea. <BR/><BR/>I'll also take this opportunity...to talk about the picks.<BR/><BR/>CLE mayor--correct, Jackson won 55-45<BR/>NYC mayor--correct, Bloomberg 56-41<BR/>NJ GOV--correct, Corzine 54-43<BR/>VA GOV--wrong, Kaine 52-46<BR/>SHBOE--of course, correct<BR/>Council: Ruffner, not George; right on the other two<BR/>Ohio/County issues: Correct on all but 6. I had seen the <I> Dispatch </I> poll on them and was a little nervous; OH voters may elect morons like Taft, but at least they know bad ideas when they see them.<BR/>I was wrong about Prop 73.<BR/><BR/>As to endorsements...<BR/>Jackson's illiterate, but I don't like Campbell even more.<BR/>Bloomberg's tolerable. Ferrer's a union sellout.<BR/>I have no love for either in NJ<BR/>Kilgore's consultants are morons (re: the Hitler ad.) So are Forrester's, re: the cheat ads.<BR/>SHBOE was not even contested<BR/>I liked Zimmerman and I respect Gleisser. Could care less about others.<BR/>I think Issue 1 helps this area.<BR/>Issue 2 shouldn't be done by amendment.<BR/>Issues 3-5 are awful ideas.<BR/>Issue 6 is a good idea.<BR/>Issue 7...too many.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Let me add: I agree with the voters in TX re: gay marriage ban<BR/>Oh, and I wish Jimmie Hicks had been re-elected.The Elephanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845637085936162495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082209.post-1131578290312136282005-11-09T18:18:00.000-05:002005-11-09T18:18:00.000-05:00I'm curious as to your reasoning on CA Issue 73.L33tminionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072892843237363419noreply@blogger.com
