Jerry Brown Bragged, “It’s all a lie,”

California voters have never been accused of being the smartest in the country, and this year is no different. If anyone happens to be paying attention this year (and there’s no guarantee of that), they may have heard Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown come clean on his first stint as governor in the 1970′s. It’s something nobody wants to hear from a politician. At least that’s the assumption.

Brown is in a governor’s race against Republican candidate Meg Whitman. The former head of E-bay is polling slightly behind Brown at this point, but she is within the margin of error, so anything can happen. If she wins she will likely suffer the same fate as current governor Arnold Swarzenegger. He tried to reform the goverment and set the ship right, but the socialists in Sacramento tore into him like wild animals. He had several initiatives put before voters, but they all failed, thanks to piles of money supplied by unions and other socialist interests in the state to bash his plans. Did I mention Californians were not the smartest voters? Arnold found out how impossible it would be to work with those people, and he essentially gave up. Whitman can expect the same treatment if she wins. The politicians in California is another subject. You could write a book.

Jerry Brown is one of those typical California politicians. He has stated that he would prefer more welfare and less jobs. You heard that right. He believes that everyone is entitled to a minimum stipend. He, like other socialists doesn’t have a clear plan on how something like that would be conceivable though.

We already new that about Jerry Moonbeam Brown, though. What has been forgotten until recently though is an interview he did several years ago, apparently between stints for various political offices. He was brutally honest about what he told voters to get himself elected, and what the actual truth was.

Jerry Brown: It’s all a lie. You’re pretending there’s a plan…

Interviewer: What did you lie about?

Jerry Brown: You run for office and the assumption is “Oh, I know what to do”. You don’t. I didn’t have a plan for California. Clinton doesn’t have a plan. Bush doesn’t have a plan.

That’s right. It was all a lie. But this guy is running for governor again. The polls have him ahead. In all fairness though, I only knew about this interview from a Whitman campaign ad, but it was no secret. She should have put this out front and center at the beginning of the campaign. It was either an error on the Whitman campaign’s part, or they just discovered it themselves.

If Moonbeam wins on Tuesday, and this becomes bigger news, it won’t matter. He’s already 72, and this is likely to be his last job. He may not have a plan, but he does have an ideology. Which is worse? Jerry Brown has disaster written all over him. I don’t know about Meg Whitman as governor, but I’ll take someone who created 30,000 jobs at E-bay over free money, no plan Brown any day. Republicans look to have a good day on Tuesday. California on the other hand, faces full meltdown.
