Posted on September 4, 2003 in Gray Davis Recall
Another way to look at the candidates (including two former candidates):
Name | Place of Birth |
Cruz Bustamante | Duniba, California |
Peter Camejo | Queens, NY |
Gray Davis | New York, NY |
Ariana Huffington | Athens, Greece |
Darrell Issa | Cleveland, Ohio; Lebanon? * |
Senator Tom McClintock | White Plains, NY |
William E. Simon Jr. | Spring Lake, N.J. |
Arnold Schwarzenegger | Thal, Austria |
Peter V. Ueberroth | Evanston, Ill. |
This list certainly puts a different slant on the men and women eager to seize the state’s highest office from Gray Davis: all except one was born elsewhere.
There’s a word for this: carpetbagging.
The only man who was actually born in California is the one the Nuts and Sluts Factory is most out to destroy (after Gray Davis, of course): Cruz Bustamante.
This California Native isn’t going to be hoodwinked. I’m voting for my own in the recall. The rest of them can just go back where they came from. Let a Californian govern California.
*Could depend on who he is talking to.
