Comments on: Mystical Ratios and Other Excuses: San Diego’s Top Union Boss Lorena Gonzalez Explains Why San Diego Voters Approved Props A & B (by Kevin Dayton) http://sdrostra.com/?p=29089 The wild west of San Diego politics Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:44:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bernie King http://sdrostra.com/?p=29089&cpage=1#comment-283990 Bernie King Fri, 22 Jun 2012 04:26:18 +0000 http://sdrostra.com/?p=29089#comment-283990 Lorena's comments remind me of the Black Knight on Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Black Knight: (after losing one arm) "Tis but a scratch!" (after losing other arm) "It's just a flesh wound!" (after losing two arms, and one leg) "I'm invincible!" Lorena’s comments remind me of the Black Knight on Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

Black Knight: (after losing one arm) “Tis but a scratch!”

(after losing other arm) “It’s just a flesh wound!”

(after losing two arms, and one leg) “I’m invincible!”

And 'em all up, and they total TWO. As in more than one. Four, if you count up all the state props. Yup, such a barrage of props would confuse anybody. Uh huh. It's a wonder labor allows more than one candidate per race. Too confusing for the voters, I'm sure. If Lorena found the June props too numerous for the voters, she'll go BONKERS when she gets her November state ballot. ALREADY there are THREE tax increase props on the ballot -- doubtless put there by cunning Republicans. My guess is that the final tally of November state props will be at least 10, and perhaps more. Lorena should file a lawsuit today to cancel the election -- too confusing for "her" voters, apparently. As for the candidate races, this is an "off" even election year -- no statewide offices are on the ballot. It's simpler than normal for voters. She will just HATE 2014. Doubtless it would be fun to go back and read her apocalyptic comments about the recent 2010 election -- all those annoying choices!

The complete fallacy of Lorena's “very complicated legal issues” and "voters were distracted with so many races on the ballot" arguments is apparent when you consider that people vote NO when they are confused or distracted, not YES.
