Yep the dumb bellybutton voters in Cali are going to make things in this state even worse!


We got rid of a governer for budget problems for christ sake and what do we do? Vote for even more stupid spending.


  6 BILLION!!! dollars? When the state is already taking loans just to pay the bills.

Voting yes on anything that cost this state more money is stupid, iresponisble and typical in this ****ed up state.

It was not about stem cells, it was about the cost....

"Give us money and we'll find cures for your diseases."  Sounds like the usual bloviating by politicians.  You'd think the CA voters could see through that by now.

 Cali voters I think do not realise the money comes from them and they just doomed us to higher taxes or more BS bonds to keep the state from bouncing checks.

I think they know where the money comes from, they just don't realise where it's going.

I don't even live in California but to EXPECT taxpayers to carry the load of programs that the businesses could easily subsidized, is just wrong.   I hope that in 2008 California will attract more votes on the Republican side.  When the "Democratic Supporters" realize that 401k holders (for example) want the benefits of Job shipping overseas for a "larger profit margin" this country will be better off.

I sincerely HOPE, that you realized what you wre voting on mora, it appears as some other low lying issues snuck past you.

I didn't say that all research should be goverment funded. my point was, why should stem cell research be treated differently than any other research(in other words why should it's funding be specifically banned).

Ok, I didn't realise it was for the funding.

One question though, if other research gets gov funding, why stem cell research shouldn't?

Personally it doesn't bother me.

[Karnak]

I voted against the stem cell proposition not because I think the research is bad, but because I don't think California can afford it.  I also don't think California should foot the bill for research that will benefit the whole country.

On the other hand maybe it will draw some biotech firms to California so that they can get in on the funding.  More high paying jobs for California is a good thing.
