		<description>Dee Jay: excuse me, but from your post I assumed you were speaking For Meg Whitman... 

Is it that you are actually just speaking About her?

She is clearly not on our side in any way...

		<description>Hi Peter,

I just think we should be informed about the candidates that are up to the plate, specifically one who was in charge of Pay-Pal, and currently is in the process of bombarding our TV&#039;s and radios with a multi-million dollar campaign to win. 

Ms. Whitman has her own interests and agenda concerning the legalization (mainly lobby groups and corporations that support her candidacy) of marijuana that by and large is an complete opposition of the California voters, especially on the cusp of another initiative to support legalization.

Here is her exact quote from a May 7th, 2009 interview: Meg Whitman: “I am absolutely, 100% not in favor of legalizing marijuana for any reason.” 

http://ccwc.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/candidates-weigh-in-on-pot-via-cal-buzz/

I apologize if my posts is too political, but the message needs to get out that she is not a progressive candidate one bit. The responses of the other candidates are also listed.</description>

		<description>Dee Jay: that is kind of a slippery way to sneak in a political blurb.

&quot;Meg is strongly opposed to the legalization of marijuana.&quot;

why would she say that Here?  she appears to be lacking common sense.</description>

		<description>&quot;Thank you very much for sharing your comments and for your question. Meg is strongly opposed to the legalization of marijuana. There are many problems facing California right now and Meg wants to focus her energy on solving problems that our vital to the future success of our state such as cutting spending in Sacramento, creating and keeping jobs in California, and fixing our educational system.

Again, thank you for your comments.&quot;

		<description>Be sure you read the last sentence .

Next week&#039;s SF Weekly includes an exclusive report about a California economic development program that has routed tens of thousands of dollars in subsidies to an Internet pornography producer. Continuing -- or even bolstering -- this practice would seem a tailor-made campaign issue for Whitman, who bills herself as a business whiz ready to revive the California economy. She backs her economic talk with real chops: In 1998, just as eBay was preparing an initial stock offering, Whitman oversaw the creation of a special eBay site exclusively for the sale of pornography.</description>

		<description>Smut Peddler, Guv Hopeful Meg Whitman Waffles on Porn Subsidies
By Matt Smith in Politics



Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, who as eBay CEO proved her mettle as a hardcore fetish pornography entrepreneur, did not respond to an inquiry Wednesday about whether as governor she would seek to continue a California program that, until recently, subsidized the production of smut.

Next week&#039;s SF Weekly includes an exclusive report about a California economic development program that has routed tens of thousands of dollars in subsidies to an Internet pornography producer. Continuing -- or even bolstering -- this practice would seem a tailor-made campaign issue for Whitman, who bills herself as a business whiz ready to revive the California economy. She backs her economic talk with real chops: In 1998, just as eBay was preparing an initial stock offering, Whitman oversaw the creation of a special eBay site exclusively for the sale of pornography. The move was prescient -- though much porn consumption has shifted to streaming Internet video, there&#039;s still a market for specialized fetish material best sold in DVD -- or otherwise physically-shippable form.
In this spirit, Whitman&#039;s &quot;eBay Adults Only&quot; brainchild is a place where, on April 15, $5.94 got one into the bidding for a DVD titled Redneck Trailer Torture. With $12 one could vie for &quot;porn star Brianna Ryder&#039;s personal g-string,&quot; and $7.99 put one in the running for the DVD Grandma Has Sex With Everybody! Anal, Oral, Group!
By mid-day on April 15,  Whitman&#039;s adults-only Web-auction brainchild had more than 87,000 items for sale, with prices the $5-$20 range. If this is typical, a back-of-the-used-thong calculation suggests an eBay porno-based income of several million dollars per year, potentially funding dozens of California jobs.

On Wednesday SF Weekly asked Whitman spokesman Mitch Zak whether, given Whitman&#039;s smut-peddling success, the porn-industry could count on her support as governor. Zak had not responded by press time.

		<description>What a double standard.

Ebay who owns Paypal has on their site terms &amp; conditions in which they do not accept listings for drug products.  However there is an abundance of Penis Enlargement Drugs being sold on ebay using paypal.

Below is just a sampling,  there are hundreds of listings like these.
