Recession-Proof: 2010 Campaign Spending Breaks Records

Her ego is bigger than her bank account so she will spend as much as she can to buy the Governors seat. I hope every penny she put into her campagne is spent and helps our economy. Thanks Meg, we needed that. Money well spent even though you won't win.

It's wise to spend a lot of your money to help AMERICA by replacing a bad politician.Some people lack wisdom but this woman doesn't.

I am so sick of career politicans that once elected forget about the PEOPLE that put them in office. Jerry Brown had his chance at the governorship for two terms and he certainly left his damage. No Brown rerun for me as a native Californian. I'm taking my chances with Meg Whitman a business woman. If she can even make California business friendly again, she would have proven herself effective.

Meg Whitman has spent $120 million to get a governors job that pays $200,000 a year. And she says she should be in office because she knows how to handle money!???

I find it amusing to see how these politicians spend, throw away, and just plain blow so much money then turn around and claim to be responsible custodians of the people's tax dollars. All that money sure could actually do some good if spent on projects to help the people. Bragging and showing off how much is blown on these campaigns is nothing less than retarded.

Anybody that believes that a person does not vote in elections, but is now willing to spend $119 millions or more to get elected for the public's good is smoking something. Name five business executives that would spend that kind of money for the public good. Meg's name would not be one of those!

It is sad that all of those millions of dollars are not spent on the American taxpayer, providing them with reduced medical costs, near free public transportation and other things. Politicians should hang their head in shame.

What we are seeing is exactly what we should be deathly afraid of. Our shallow thinking Supreme Court has ruled, in its failure to recognize fantasy, that businesses, corporations and all, are to be treated as if they were human beings. My biology, ethics, humanities and philosophy teachers all are in total shock (to say nothing of my other instructors who have fainted dead away). Can it possibly be any kind of common sense to accept a entity of any kind, that haqs no brain, no heart, no lungs, etc., etc., as a "human being"? Only in the worlds of science fiction and fantasy could this be accepted. What we need are strong, unafraid legislators who will enact a law, or series of laws, denying that companies and/or corporations are equal to human beings and may NOT under any circumstances be allowed the privileges and rightsw that belong to We, The People. Contact your representatives and let them know that you consider a souless, uneducated and bodiless corporation only a business with absolutely NO human rights that belong to human kind. Challenge them to try and convince you that you are no better than Comcast, General Motors or The Huffington Post. Never mind your political affiliation, because I can guarantee you that if you do not stop this attack on American humanity, it will not matter what party you believe in, nor what party you would like to see running our country. Help defend America. Tell your Congressmen how you feel.

Have you seen Meg's latest add? Take money from the poor on welfare and give it to the California Universities, but by no means tax the rich. This way the wealthy CEOs will get the benefit of an educated pool of potential employees paid for by the lower classes. Way to go Meg, you are a true "protect the rich", Republican.

If Witman was an altruist instead of an egotist, think of the good she could have done with $104,000,000. What a shame ...
