Sad person and anti-environmentalist Meg Whitman is running for governor of California, a place that, despite approving Prop 8, loves the gays in overwhelming numbers. Which means her support of Prop 8 has put her in a precarious position, circa 2009. (Just a few years ago, her stance on letting gays get married might have not seemed so discriminatory!) Hoping to take over for Arnold, her election will also be tied to the 2010 effort to repeal Prop 8, a measure she supported. So far, Whitman has battled back against the label “homophobe,” said it was okay for the 18,000 pre-Prop 8 gay couples to stay married, and credited her faith for her bigotry.
In the above interview with San Francisco’s CBS 5 (cue to the 2:27 mark), Whitman, who didn’t even start voting until 2005, reminds everyone that she’s for civil unions, but that M-word is just too much! Sorry, Meg, not good enough. And your assertion that your position is not “a slap in the face” to the millions of gay Californians is, frankly, preposterous.
Whitman says she’s “deadly serious” about not losing another job in California. And we’re deadly serious about prohibiting somebody who is not our full advocate from stepping a foot inside the governor’s mansion.
How about we take this to the next level?

Both Carly and Meg are disasters waiting to happen.

So a hateful, old sow, who owes points on the style meter, thinks running an online garage sale for other shut-ins makes you qualified for politics. She looks like June Allison’s uglier sister on a bad day who just wants attention. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad that she still thinks she’s one of the boys in her MBA class just because she’s butcher than they are.

Well, she has left a trail businesses in ruin from Edaville Railroad on Cape Cod, to the FTD in the midwest, then headed west. Now she want’s to attack Califonia. Good luck Cal. if she gets in, you can apply to Bengladesh for aid.

No chance in Hell for this candidate to get in.
Wonder how much money she will waste trying.
Retire and enjoy the good life Ms.
We do not need you at all.

Wait ’til she starts talking about the “illegals[sic]” and she’ll lose the Latino vote.
No gay vote, and no Latino vote in California = no fucking chance in hell.
Buh bye.

She is going to be our governor.. Newsome is too faithful to us, and no one hates anyone the way everyone hates the fags.
