Meg Whitman: A New California

[mrprogjazzgto]

Meg is a JOKE.. she moved ebay customer service overseas and LAID OFF thousands of American ebay employees.

She did steal lots of ebay stock and now she is a billionaire..!!

She cannot run The Great State of California..!

She is clueless..

[none02910]

yep lets base what she did for HASBRO and the for the people of RI,sorry Meg we know your track record too well and all the jobs you sen to Mexico ;-)

[beancube2010]

CEOes like her monopoly innovations and technology with languages only. What innovations they made? Religious like languages that code away your rights to technologies and innovations are their innovations. Innovations and technologies need users, not hijacker owners or monopoly industry that these CEOes are creating by hijacking big volume cash flow items. God naming rolls us back at least couple hundreds of years at least. She just want to be the Repub. insider for their lobbyists in our govt.

[none02910]

@beancube2010 you mea like the jackass John Donahoe who replced her at Ebay and his disruptive ideas? Ebay & PayPal are in enough trouble under the Sherman Anti Trust Act,lobbyists can only do so much...............

[liedetector1000]

Can you say "FIRED!" California is NOT EBAY. Citizens by very afraid. Meg Whitman has some truly sick reasons for spending a fortune to become gov. of Cal. Let's show her that we see through her fake persona and send her packing. She will send you packing .. as in OUTSOURCED JOBS if you elect her. She's not a danger to herself but she sure will be to others (you). Don't let her fool you with her slick ads and money. There's a good reason we've kept Jerry Brown close. He's smart and kind.

[none02910]

@liedetector1000 she did that very thing when she was at HASBRO in Pawtucket Rhode Island,,bottom line Meg doesn't give a shit and never will.Her track record speaks for it's self........

[ajack50]

@none02910 and neither does brown he is a career politition and has never had a real job and lived at home collecting an allowance from mommy and daddy into his 50's ,what a great guy. As governor he did nothing but lose jobs in the state and spend us into a huge deficit when he started with a surplus,as mayor crime rate increased,schools went down hill and then as attorney general ,he has not done anything about fraud and corruption in welfare. Why isn't megs illegal being charged,FELONIES

[ajack50]

@liedetector1000 and good ole jerry is goiung to do nothing but increase entitlements,more union bailouts and less jobs for Californians. He is an abortion and has never had a real job in his life. Career politition with nothing as far as business sense,Vote Meg for a better California,not the same old bullshit ,Jerry has not done anything good for this state.Where is he now that Meg's housekeeper who is a FELON ,why isn';t he doing his job and prosicuting her on 2 felony charges? Nothing

[liedetector1000]

@ajack50 Brown's spokesman, Sterling Clifford, said in a statement that Whitman apparently thinks the rules don't apply to her.

"After more than a year of Whitman demanding immigration policy that 'holds employers accountable,' we learn that accountability doesn't extend to her own actions," he said.

[SirTristanC]

Interesting. She's going to solve our budget crisis? Isn't she the one that fought to have eBay and internet retailers exempted from sales taxes in our state? Meaning she's responsible for the lost revenue? Meaning she HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT SHE'S DOING?

Hey Meg, maybe instead of spending millions on a goddamned POLITICAL CAMPAIGN you could spend those millions on the CITIZENS OF THE STATE YOU CLAIM TO BE TRYING TO FIX.

[justsk8in]

I don't like admiting this but I've been ripped off so many times on ebay it's not funny, every time I see Meg Whitman and her goofy horseteeth face I want to kick in my tv set. Every one of her frigin commercials is just a slap in the face, I can hear her saying, "you stupid jerk don't you know i own your ass" talk about being pwnd. So... no... i'd rather put up with Jerry Brown. at least with JB I know what I'm getting.

[1w72st]

Meg Whitman is a stupid cunt.

[bynddrvn5]

Want to hear Meg's real message to California voters?! Well John & Ken drag the truth out of Meg, it is time for the bullsh*t to stop!

Just do a google search for: John and Ken KFI

[robost]

Whitman for Whitman, Brown for California.

[Filthy59]

YES ON PROP 19

[SirTristanC]

@koolkim2003

Maybe it's tough for you to understand this, but businesses have nothing but a profit motive for themselves. They don't care if you have money or not, as long as THEY have money. The GOP supports them in that desire to have money, at the expense of you, the common man. Get your shit straight and stop watching Fox all the damned time.

[ajack50]

@SirTristanC you are a moron who probably has never worked! of course businesses want to make a profit,moron and they employ American workers. This state is dieing because its not new business friendly wioth nothing but red tape and bullshit for new business, Meg has been in very successful business,brown lived at home with mommy and has never even had a hot dog stand or a job FUCK BROWN he almost bankrupted this state once and our schools became the worst while he was Gov.we need leaders asses

[ajack50]

@Djsimonroc88 we have one opportunity to turn this economy around in Calif.and brown will continue to destroy jobs,union payaouts,new taxes in an economy that is already in a free fall.Meg was a very powerful exec.at one of the most successful bay area companies,created thousands of jobs,this is the mentallity we need now....jerry has never created anything except for the unions,the main reason this state is under water,brown bought and sold by union officials wanting more bailouts

[SirTristanC]

@ajack50 New taxes on who? Poor and middle class people? No, the Dems want to tax the super wealthy and the mega-corporations. THEY CAN AFFORD TO BE TAXED.

Also, those unions you Republitards seem to hate? They're the reason you don't get paid the same as a kid in Malaysia. Why do you think businesses outsource? It's because those people are willing to work for less! Are YOU willing to work for less? No? Then shut your mouth.

[ajack50]

@SirTristanC you are a moron if you think the middle class is not going to suffer.YTou will have increased taxes on obummercare,inflation,plastic bags,soda,cigs,beer ,car registration,county taxes,food,it never ends and these idiots on the left will be replaced with true conservtives in november.This insane regime in washington is out of control and if you don't see it you belong in a mental institution

[none02910]

@ajack50 well hasn't it been that way since Bush was in? Yep lets blame Obama for Bush's fuck up's,sorry but the shit you posted wouldn't float in a toilet....

[ajack50]

@none02910 obama is a piece of garbage and bush wasn't much better but jackass obummer is spending us into a third world country

[xbringthepain]

This is a bunch of horse shit. The state's in the toilet, their employees are taking a 20% pay cut and now, possibly even minimum wage, and this woman's talking about keeping "government small".

She's a goddamn billionaire, she probably doesn't even know the value of a dollar, much less how to run a state. If we end up with her, we're royally fucked. I'm moving to Oregon, at least there they KNOW how to deal with a budget crisis.

[youknow88]

Meg Whitman can suck a fat dick

[subversyv]

I'm pretty sure the state of CA is not a business and she's never held a gov't position before .. so her experience is pretty much useless.

[Mage13246]

@subversyv

Obama has no Experience in economics, business, nor government! Guess what Obama did during his time in the Senate? That's right nothing but run for president!

[MrProTech]

Tax Cuts does not provide more jobs....its bunch of Republican Garbage

[Mage13246]

@MrProTech

Yeah tax cuts do provide jobs, that's why unemployment went down under Bush and is now going up under Obama. Tax cuts for businesses doesn't create jobs? Allowing companies to obtain more of their income to pay more employees doesn't create jobs? You say it's a bunch of Republican garbage but when you look at the results: Companies and Businesses pay more taxes and pay more of a salary under Tax Cuts not Tax Hikes. So I guess you enjoy 50% of your money going to the Fed?

[jmowreader]

@Mage13246 Check the comparative job creation figures in GW Bush's first term versus Clinton's. In Bush's first term, he lowered taxes and 10,000 jobs were created. In Clinton's, he raised taxes and 11 million jobs were created.

Apparently cutting taxes works very well.

[Mage13246]

@jmowreader

no jobs were created under Clinton, in fact it was republicans that balanced the budget, and Clinton took funds away for SS to make it seem that way. only the GDP did good, not the national economy. If I remember reading correctly, unemployment under clinton was 5% and GWB was 4.3%. No jobs can be created with tax hikes. Go interview any business owner in the US and they will say NO to tax hikes. 19million jobs were made under Reagan, and job were created under GWB.

[Mage13246]

@jmowreader

Clinton does not deserve credit for the balanced budget because Newt Gingrich proposed it along with his colleagues. Oh and need I mention more jobs were lost under Clinton not created. If there were jobs created, they were only temporary, same goes for Obamanomics. If you raise taxes you raise GOVERNMENT spending therefore raising the deficit and increasing the debt. If you cut taxes, businesses can reinvest, and hire more employees and pay them a more hefty salary.

[Mage13246]

@jmowreader

Another thing, Bush's Tax Cuts created more jobs than Clinton's Tax Hikes. When you raise taxes (causing increase in deficit which is government spending), consumers spend less on products, companies, big businesses, etc, hire less employees, and pay them less. Businesses need to stay open by making a profit. If money is being spent by government it is raising the deficit and the debt. Public debt only went down under Clinton and fewer jobs were created.

[Mage13246]

@jmowreader

So by common sense and logic, and not for hate: your numbers are way off and 100% phony. Please check verified sources instead of reading small details. There are bigger details behind it all. Clinton didn't do anything but raise the National Debt. National debt under Clinton: 5.8trillion$. Bush about 9trillions because of war spending. Clintont cut military spending, and Social Security to fund his tax increases. So basically people lost jobs.

[Bud8545]

anyone thinking of raising taxes needs to be informed of the money we spend in iraq and afgan. each 1 use styrofoam plate the government gladly pays $10, and for each load of laundry $100, just what america needs more CEO's of companies holding positions of power. halliburton makes trucks that have no oil filters then when they break down thier workers are told to destroy the truck. then they charge the Gov $80,000 for a new truck and then our taxes go into the $42MILLION the CEO made in 2004.

[Mage13246]

@Bud8545

Oh so a CEO who knows how the economy works is a useless person? A person who is more successful than you are, who took a harder path to obtain the life that CEO has today?

[Piglatinsuperstar]

I agree we should do away with welfare cases but we should also reduce the siaze of the military. what bush did sending the military that didnt help no one. it hasnt prospered us here at home. all it has done is created the deficit you see before you now. before Bush we were fine with our surpluses and then the republicans moved in doing away with it and wasiting it on tax cuts for the rich. The results of republican policy: more huge deficit spending. and we need more than just private business

[Piglatinsuperstar]

to spur growth

remember: out of any accounting text you will see the botom line of a corporation is to maximize shareholder wealth. One of the ways to do that is to cut working wages. This is what the republicans are really after but wihout letting the public know that is their agenda

That is why under republican administrations so many of our companies go over seas for dirt cheap labor and contrary to what Micheal Steele said, NO THEY DON'T COME BACK

[Piglatinsuperstar]

and then there is Christine Todd Whitman, appointed by Bush to head the EPA, telling workers it is safe for them to breathe the air at ground zero. Then they all get throat cancer

This just proves that the republican hands off policy dont work. And telling Obama to "start from scratch" on his health care reform is just a dealy tactic. Republicans arent the least bit interested in anyone's health but their own

Why SHOULD Barack try reaching across the aisle to those hostile Republicans?

[DIJV79]

The population is employed by the private sector, not the government. The largest employers in Cali are private companys. Alot of jobs have left Cali because of taxes. People are even living in their RV''s, not including the growing tent cities through out the state. State employees want 90% of their pay upon retirement, "ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY" ! the Calpers pension plan has to be cut in half, cali taxpayers fund that bankrupt pension plan. Time for the end, its approaching.

[leprekon1321]

Meg Whitman is a bitch trying to buy power... Meg Whitman if you want a Nazi State

[mewimi]

Just another hypocrite seeking to diminish human rights for LGBT people whilst flowing millions of dollars into campaigns to get elected...

I guess this is what we have succumbed too... Even more money = even more corporate control. Our votes mean nothing, because we are being led on a leash by multi million dollar propaganda machines fueled by corporations.

Thanks a lot supreme court.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

Meg we got a question

Why it say in your radio ad that anyone can interact with you on your site & ask questions but in reality u can't until we first cough up our credit card # and make contributions 1st?

you another politician who says one thing but means another?

Also, I'd like to know how you plan to bring jobs into California.

Dont expect us to help you out with your political career by telling us tax cuts are the answer when you & yours continue sending jobs overseas

[DIJV79]

Government cannot control that. If a company wants to leave, because taxes are favorable some where else, then they will. Govt does not create jobs the private sector does, all govt does is create out of control deficits. By assaulting business, just look at California.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

Look who's talking, the big on spending when it comes to the military republican!

Yeah I forgot, WHO got us into these deficits? Who took us from budget surplus to over 1 trillion?

so how do republicans intend to create demand for services? If you got no customers coming in, how do your proposed tax breaks going to bring in the business?

What we need is jobs, not more tax breaks for the wealthy. We already tried it the republican way for 8 years and look where it got us

[DIJV79]

Well go ahead and punish all those horrible rich people. Because govt does not create jobs, the private sector does. The govt is runned on tax payer revenues coming from the private sector. It is not the govts job to create services, it's their job to provide a positive tax enviroment by making concessions with business. Fine tell those bad rich people to screw off and, they'll take their jobs with them get it.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

I never said they were horrible people or even how they want to cut wages to further their bottom line or lay off people with seniority to hire graduates at half pay

I didnt say any of that, republican against the middle class! And i didnt mention the government either the way you keep honing in on

I asked you: how does cutting taxes bring in customers at a time like this to bring in more jobs! is that too hard a question? If you believe so strongly in free market economics then answer it

[DIJV79]

Cuttting taxes contributes to the businesses bottom line, allowing companies to hire more workers and employ more people, (expand their workforces). When people don't have jobs they don't buy,"BINGO"and when people don't buy the economy tanks, and by cutting taxes people keep more of their money, but to cut taxes govt has to shrink and programs have to be canned. But Cali will not do that instead of giving companys a tax break, they punish business, that's why the jobs leave.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

Corporations already had their taxes cut to 35%. At one time it was 90% and businesses werent leaving Cali in the 50s & 60s or 70s

I think 90% too high but when Ronnie cut it so far down he didnt know what he was doing and trippled the deficit.

how much govt we supposed to cut?

that is, how may govt jobs you want to cut? Whose job you want to cut?

You want to take from education? becuz tuition already too high for most people and we need an educated workforce

[Piglatinsuperstar]

so whose job you want to cut then republican?

Why dont you just come right out and tell everyone where jobs should be cut?

I try asking Meg but her site designed so that any question that come her way have to be approved first

[DIJV79]

Down size state govt,cut the police and firemans pensions and down size city employees from the top down. The income tax revenues know longer cover the cost to run the state or our citys. Welcome to the global economy.

[newbutton7]

@Piglatinsuperstar I want those big Govt union jobs and the pensions to disappear. They've got to go. We cant afford them.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

what do you think about shrinking our military? Its too big and we dont need to be in Iraq anyways. Or Afghan

Lets keep our money here where it belongs, paying our people what they're worth and not be so unpatriotic.

Seriously, would you want your pension to dissapear? Hell no

[newbutton7]

@Piglatinsuperstar By no means should we shrink our military, but we really need to shrink all of these huge irresponsible spending programs and lower the taxes to stimulate economic growth to get our jobs back and last but not least secure our border and discourage the hiring of illegals

[Piglatinsuperstar]

but it costs too much to keep our presence in other countries and is not needed

The enemy is over the Ocean and nowhere near the US. All we need is tight security at airports to ensure continued safety so we dont get another 9/11 like in the Bush admin

Let's keep taxpayermoney here where it is well spent and keep out unions strong and our cost of living wage increase. Let's pay Americans what they deserve instead of slave wages so they dont get kicked out onto the streets

[Piglatinsuperstar]

kicking out illegals is another solution becuz it means less labor to go around. more jobs for americans

legalize pot to shrink the prison population

Cut the military. our presence in Iraq and Afghan is not needed

[Piglatinsuperstar]

lebraunt I dont have confidence in your solutions

You wouldnt happen to be one of those republicans would you?

Becuz those people havent had the greatest success during their 8 years. Your people dont solve any problems. Your only answer to any problem is always the same- cut taxes.

Your policies about do nothing when a crisis arises dont work neither (do nothing to katrina victims - it will get better on its own. Dont bother sending aid) and do nothing for the economy-it is too costly

[jmowreader]

Anyone who thinks cutting taxes stimulates growth needs to quit smoking crack.

Here's how to stimulate growth. All you Republicans write this down.

1. Raise taxes just a little. A couple percentage points will do.

2. Spend the money on projects so large companies can't do them with their current employees or equipment.

3. When some of the money returns to the feds (taxes), do another project in a different area.

Tax cuts might create jobs eventually. Spending creates them now.

[newbutton7]

@jmowreader Anyone who works for a living that thinks that over taxing and over regulating businesses and chasing them out of the state to where unemployment is soaring past 20 percent statewide needs to put down the crack pipe and wake and smell the coffee beans. This is where we're at folks. We're broke and we just can't afford anymore taxes. Let's come up with a better plan like cutting some of the bureaucracies. Let's cut some of the welfare programs for illegals for starters

[jmowreader]

@Newbutton, taxes and overregulation aren't doing it to you. Corporate greed is doing it to you.

Right now the California unemployment rate is 12.4 percent--this from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Your state business tax rate is 8.84 percent. Of the four states with worse unemployment than California, three of them has lower business tax rates and one--Nevada--doesn't tax business at all!

The right kind of government spending--infrastructure--work­s. It always has and always will.

[Mage13246]

@jmowreader

Corporate greed? You mean government greed. The government tells you that higher taxes are need to pay off the debt but in the end they won't tell you where it really went. So my guess is that you believe in the Communism? Socialism? You believe that raising taxes through the roof is going to make jobs?

[Mage13246]

@jmowreader

Anyone who thinks Raising taxes needs to stop drinking and smoking pot like Obama:

Raising taxes causes companies to hire less employees.

Raising taxes causes companies to cheat their taxes more.

Raising taxes causes employees to cheat their taxes more.

Raising taxes causes companies to shut down because they can't reinvest in the company and pay their employees their salaries.

Taxing and spending don't raise shit! It was taxing and spending that smashed Cali into the ground.

[hardrightbrutha]

Big bussinessess create jobs,competition.Keep government limited to what its supposed to be.Military,fire ,emerg med.Police. We dont need more gov entanglement.TRUE FREEDOM IS DEAD! Eliminate welfare for those ghetto bums who keep spitting out more future welfare thug babys!! gangbangers who cant stop having babys. The wacko left doesnt want to eliminate the problems!they just wanna manage them.

[newbutton7]

@DIJV79 No other state including Michigan wants to wind up like California

[kritrgitr]

Meg Whitman is a tool of the banks to continue their agenda of removing the useless eaters and unwashed masses from the planet.

[CrunkinLiLy]

I'm voting for Meg

[kritrgitr]

Meg WhitmanShe was appointed to the board of Goldman Sachs in October, 2001 and then resigned in December 2002, amidst controversy when congressional investigators revealed she had received shares in several public offerings managed by Goldman Sachs.[

[sjrep4u]

MW endorsed Barbara Boxer, did fund raising for her & campaigned for her in 2004. She gave $300,000.00 to the environmental group that stopped the water flowing to middle California. She is in favor of government funding of abortions. She is a HUGE supporter of ex-Czar Van Jones and to top it all off she has not voted for most of her life. Voting 1 or 2 times does not make you a good representative of our political process. I am tired of her excuses, Steve Poizner has my vote.....

[supermikeb2000]

California is way past the tipping point, and the debate over solutions is way beyond vague statements like the ones in this advertisement. She is going to "create jobs"? How? By firing 40,000 State employees? Genius. Good luck getting the House and Senate to go against the labor unions. I would love to hear her answer a real question, for example: what is your position on illegal immigration and the costs of it to our schools, hospitals, police, courts, social services, etc. contributor

[ajack50]

@supermikeb2000 right on thats what I want anyone to answer what the hell are you going to do with illigals that are sucking the system dry..stop illigal immigration now and balance the budget

[bgbreakdown]

She wants to cut services to Californians even more?! Read the papers folks. Teachers laid off. Services to the most vulnerable slashed. State Parks closing. No money for upkeep on our infrastructure. Most cannot even begin to afford a college education and fees rise constantly. And she says "well, that's a good start." Wow. So what about those 40K state workers laid off? Either she will eliminate the services they provide or she will allow corporations to replace them at a higher cost. Fail.

[videogeek27]

By the way, Meg Whitman has all comments turned off on her videos. What other proof do we need that she isn't interested in hearing what people have to say about her?

She'll only listen to you if you pay the lobbying fee, good luck having your voice heard!

[videogeek27]

Just another fat cat republican with big business ties that'll never work for the middle class. She wants to "Streamline regulations and modify workplace rules to ensure California is more competitive than other states" - What do you think that really means? It means push out unions and laws that will benefit the CEO's so they can hire cheaper labor while the middle class suffers.

Don't be fooled, she works for the rich, not the middle class!

[n8iveSoCalGirl]

Don't be fooled, videogeek27. Where do jobs come from? Companies that produce products that you want or need. In California it takes multiple permits to start a company in Texas it take two. In Texas, Nevada, Arizona and other states they don't tax companies like California does. That is why we are losing jobs because it is easier to start a business that provides jobs in other states. We need someone with experience creating jobs in CA. Meg has that experience.

[videogeek27]

We need small businesses, not large corporations. Meg only has experience with running a large corporation which is completely different from running a small business that actually cares about its employees. Corporations only care about the bottom line, not the workers. Nothing good can possibly come with electing a corporate politician. They serve the rich and powerful elite, not the majority of working class people.

[bgbreakdown]

More "disaster politics", videogeek. Corporate America moves in when things go bad to take advantage of any situation. I hope Californians won't go for this sell out.

[glendanorris]

Meg Whitman understands the problems we face in California and she is the Lady to take on Sacramento and turn this state around. If you have not had the opportunity to see Meg in person, then it should be on the top of your list of things to do. She is dynamic.

[savvydoody]

Go get 'em, Meg. We're with you all the way. California needs a governor who will fix what's wrong - and that person is you!
