<< As for Davis, he said, ''Every time you turn around you see him talking to the AFL-CIO.''>> Evidently your kind of people...even to the point their thugs beat up anyone opposing their position as we saw on TV last week. Your kind of people versus a group of church goers? <<Among those who are throwing their weight behind Lungren -- some of whom will join the attorney general at Varian Associates Inc. in Palo Alto this morning -- are James Barksdale of Netscape Communications Corp., John Chambers of Cisco Systems Inc., Wilf Corrigan of LSI Logic Corp., Thomas Ford of Ford Land Co., James Morgan of Applied Materials Inc., Lewis Platt and John Young of Hewlett-Packard Co.>> And you prefer the union thugs to these business leaders? <<Business leaders' views on Davis can be boiled down even further to fiive words, said Lungren campaign adviser Dan Schnur: ''Supreme Court Justice Bill Lerach.'' Trial lawyer Lerach, a strong Davis supporter, is one of the most reviled names among Silicon Valley executives because he is known as the king of shareholder lawsuits against high-tech companies. Davis is vulnerable to the perception that he is beholden to Lerach and the trial lawyers, in part because in 1996 he refused to take a stand on Proposition 211. The measure, sponsored by Lerach, would have made it easier to prevail in shareholder lawsuits, commonly called ''strike suits.'' Lungren opposed the proposition, which Silicon Valley and other companies spent about $40 million to defeat.>> Are we assume you support the anti-busines liberal trial lawyers? Did I misunderstand that you are in the business world, specifically software technology? I wonder if you understand pro-business and pro-union! Who do you think creates the most jobs? Are they willing to throw all of that away because of someone's religious beliefs? The only acceptable bigotry today is religious bigotry!!! Careful how you use the word bigotry the next time! More of your true colors may show!

>>I didnt see the names Ellison, Duffield or Siebel in this article. I thought you said they are harassers. Those types commiserate with Clinton. >> Accompanied by his son, Jeff, he spoke at the Cathedral of Faith Christian church in San Jose. Great forum - NOT. Actually, it is ok, remember political and religious freedom allows it. However, if he were a Dem like Gore there would be fundraising there, which is illegal for some offices and unethical for all.
