Senator Maldonado Agrees to a Debate on His Proposition 14

April 27th, 2010

Although California State Senator Abel Maldonado authored California’s Proposition 14, on the ballot for the June 8, 2010, election, he has never before agreed to participate in any debate over the merits of that “top-two” measure.

However, on April 27, he is participating in a debate, in Sacramento, at 9:30 a.m. Speaking against Proposition 14 is Tom Del Beccaro, a vice chair of the state Republican Party. The public is not permitted to attend. The debate is sponsored by Citizen Voice, which will put a tape of the debate on its web page no later than May 3 (www.citizenvoice.org). The debate will only be 15 minutes. The moderator is Gary Dietrich. It is being held in the studios of Pacific Satellite.

    15 minutes, no public? That’s not a debate, that’s a coffee break.

    Why won’t Un-Abel do a real debate, like with Richard, Crhistina, or me?

    Why indeed? Because he knows any one of us would mop the floor with him!

  2. Christina Tobin Says:

    I challenge Senator Maldonado to debate me.

  3. Trent Hill Says:

    I’d pay to see Richard Winger debate Senator Maldonado.

  4. Jordon M. Greene Says:

    If he does debate you, Ms. Tobin, or Mr. Winger please let me know as I want to watch!!

  5. Steve Rankin Says:

    15 whole minutes? WOW!!

    Judging from what Del Beccaro has blogged on “Maldonado’s Folly,” he should acquit himself well.

    Is Dis-Abel running for a full four-year term as lieutenant governor? If so, I’m sure he’s running as an independent, since he despises party primaries.

    Maldonado is a Whore who needs to burn in Hell for all time with little Devils sticking pitch forks in his ass.

    Mr. M. may be THE person to save Democracy in the U.S.A. — Top 2 in CA — then major pressure to have P.R. in CA and the rest of the U.S.A.

    Sorry — way too many children on this list with their MORON clubby party hack comments.

    The party hacks are good only for starting international wars, having inflations, depressions, national bankruptcy, civil wars, etc. etc.
