Calif Attorney General Bill Lockyer voted for Schwarzenegger!

Democrat Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer says he voted for Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor. Lockyer, speaking at a recall post-mortem at UC Berkeley, said he opposed the recall but chose Schwarzenegger in the replacement election because he stood for "hope, change, reform, opportunity, upbeat problem solving." He added, "I want that. I'm tired of cynical, dealmaking politics." Lockyer, considered a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2006, would have had to challenge an incumbent of his own party had Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante been elected this year. Lockyer didn't directly criticize Bustamante Saturday but said he looked at the list of candidates and it was "a crappy list." Lockyer said his vote for Schwarzenegger was his first for a Republican in a partisan race in his life. "I hope I haven't been conned," he said.

[The Zanti Regent]

39. How much did Enron put in your pocket, Bill?

Were the 20 pieces of silver enough, you asshole.

It's time to recall Lockyer and Shelley too!

[Book Lover]

2. Jesus! With friends like these....

I just love his final quote, "I hope I haven't been conned"

And when you find out you have been, Bill, what then? Christ!

on edit: spelling

[Timahoe]

3. Maybe he's looking to be Wesley Clarks' running-mate!

eom

[benfranklin1776]

4. Well UH gee there Bill you just took yourself out of the running for 2006

What will your platform be then? "Vote for me because I am responsible for this mess since I helped elect der Gropenfuhrer"
Nice Benedict Arnold demonstration there.

[intheozone]

5. No, no Bill, you haven't been conned,

you have just been royally screwed! And that bad part is, you helped screw all the rest of us in CA. Thanks for nothing, asshole Bill!

[joefree1]

6. Fine Bill, you're now on the list too

Get over it? I don't think so.

7. What!?

Ugh, I feel ill...
:puke:

[DUreader]

8. Fuck You, Bill, you selfserving, backstabbing scumbag

[Terwilliger]

9. Well folks...I wont be supporting Lockyer in the future

I'm sorry....ANYBODY who voted for Schwarzenegger is STUPID!

STUPID!!!!!

And there are Dems in this state that like Lockyer :-( :shrug:

[Dr Satan]

10. I can't understand

why the people of California would be tired of cynical partisan politics. What were they thinking?

[Timahoe]

11. Lockyer is a Democrat!

Lockyer is a Democrat! If he could not bring himself to vote for Bustamante in good conscience, then he should have skipped the replacement question!

[Terwilliger]

12. as opposed to...an idiot twit for governor?

thats's not partisan or cynical

I would have voted for McClintock before I would have voted for AHH-nold.

[Alenne]

13. He probably watched Arnold on Oprah. nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. What a fucking traitorous asshole!

hope? change? reform? OPPORTUNITY??? upbeat problem solving?? What a damn FOOL! He should be fried! Vote his ass out!

He hopes he hasn't been conned? OMG...I'm speechless.

[JackSwift]

15. I'll never support Lockyer for anything again

You just don't vote for Enron Republican scum.

[DeepModem Mom]

16. Stupid, or just an opportunist?

I'm not a Californian -- is the guy stupid (yeah, fellow, you've been conned!), or just a total opportunist?

[flamingyouth]

17. What an insult to the hardworking Californians...

many of whom are on this list, thank you very much, who gave their all to defeat this recall madness.

I am so ashamed of Lockyer. What a mockery of democracy.

Indeed, a demockery.

[cally]

18. I will never support him again

I grew up in his district and always found him sleazy and not that smart. Remember Locyer was the one who announced that Davis better not use dirty politics. I despised him already.

[Dagaz]

19. Why not just run yourself then?

Since he wants to run in 2006 and couldn't support Cruz then he should have thrown his hat in himself.

[Dover]

20. Isn't the Attny. General the one in charge of electoral processes

and voting? Wonder if Bev Harris is aware of this?

[Dagaz]

25. No that's the Sec of State

Then it's up to each county to carry out the process.

[genius]

29. Kevin Shelley did eveything he could to make Arnold gov

from approving the second half of the ballot in violation of the CA Constitution to fighting the delay. I think the Republicans have done an excellent job of infiltrating our party.

[shanti]

37. yes, i feel ill

is this what the democratic party in colliefornia has become...*shaking my damn head*

[leesa]

21. Well, thank goodness Schwarzenegger isn't the dealmaker for Enron

How can these people be so BLIND. Arnold is in Enron's pockets and that's about as cynical as one can get!

[ShaneGR]

22. So much for his political career

I wonder how he'll feel about his stupid vote after Bush gets slaughtered in California and Arnold accomplishes ZERO.

[not systems]

23. Bastard.

Hope he enjoys the Benedict Arnold award.

[genius]

24. He's lost my vote in 06

We need a Democrat to run for governor- both in the next recall election and in 06.

[jiacinto]

26. This is unacceptable--he should have kept his mouth shut

I would not vote for him in the priamry but would hold my nose in a general election.

[Tinoire]

27. I am sure he is not alone

As a Californian who watched this thing closely, I did not and still do not trust all our New Dems.

Yeah this hurts and sucks but they've been betraying us a long time. I just hope we wake up soon.

I'm still pissed though. Pissed and hurt.

[PlanetBev]

28. I can't believe he announced it!

Something else the Pukes can use to laugh at us. What a asswipe! Why the hell didn't he just run himself? Can somebody explain this to me?

[tlcandie]

46. Tinoire, I agree... I think it is repulsive, BUT OTOH

I think we should all be glad that all of this is coming to light so we can truly see those who are disguised as dems and who are here to undermine democracy.

He really isn't too intelligent to have made this public statement, much less vote for such an unqualified, hidious person as ahhhnuld and I know nothing of the man other than what I've read here.

[rucky]

30. Wonder How Much His ENRON Check Was For?

[agincourt]

31. You just summed it up,

no dem would support musclehead mcgroper unless they're on the take.

[genius]

34. I guess we can forget about Enron paying that $9 billion dollars

Anyone have any concerns about the CA Democratic Party?

[Jack Rabbit]

32. This is also being discussed in LBN

Please click here.

[Wapsie B]

33. Can we expect any better

from a largely uninformed populace when one of our own votes for Arnold? I don't care how bland Davis looked on TV. Is it any wonder repugs keep winning elections?

[Zorra]

35. Uneffingbelievable, how

can a freaking Democrat Attorney General be that naive?

[shanti]

36. you and me both!

never again, lockyer!~

[Freddie Stubbs]

38. So did a lot of other Democrats

That is the only way that Arnold cold have recieved a majority of votes with McClintock in the race and registered Democrats outnumbering registered Republicans.

[JI7]

40. fuck him

will NEVER vote for him again.

[VOX]

41. Note to Lockyer: Dear Shithead: I submit that it's very easy to be conned.

Thanks for shit, dipstick!

Note to self: Sorry, Lockyer's lost my vote for good -- for *anything*.

[Piperay]

42. If he was fucking stupid enough

to vote for arnie the groper, he should have kept this big fucking mouth shut about it. :wtf: This asshole has shown himself to be a two faced backstabbing traitor and to stupid to deserve getting elected to anything ever again! :nuke:

[Noordam]

43. Lost all Latino votes with "crappy" Bustamante..... nt

[meti57b]

45. I was deeply disappointed in Bustamante's apparent inability to campaign.

[meti57b]

44. CA budget problems are caused by bush and his cronies ....

the bush economic disaster otherwise known as the wholesale looting of the federal treasury to pay off his wealthy campaign contributors with our tax dollars and the energy grand larceny by his energy company pals.

Is it possible Lockyer is so stupid he doesn't realize that.

And, apparently arnold is more stupid than bush in addition to being chicken-hearted as bush clearly bluffed arnie out of even asking for all that "federal aid" he thought bushie would give to CA.
