only for the elite.

4. oh, i know

but the media and everyone else act like we (not us on du, but the population of california) didn't know where he stood on issues until these bills came up for signing.

[atreides1]

5. But

It wasn't just the elite that put him into office, the people did it too. Yes, it wasn't all of the people, just the brain dead fools who actually bought his BS, but it was still enough to get him into office, and Gray Davis out.

So those that wanted him elected, are at fault for any ill effects caused by his veto of these bills, unless the legislature has the votes to overturn his vote?

2. Now maybe they can veto him in

2006!
