Its truly an incredible country where the son of a Nazi, admitted sexual harasser, and horrible actor becomes governor of the largest state in the United States, which also happens to be the fifth largest economy in the world. Like Don King says only in America.
Its truly amazing because Arnold Schwarzenegger having been elected (fraudulently) has not taken a stand on any issue and did not debate the other candidates until he was given the questions before hand. How do these unintelligent morons keep getting elected? W, now the woman respecter Arnold. He could only come up with the typical political clichés, “we need to change the way government works” and “I am a champion of the people.” In an election with the second worse turnout in California history. Not to mention the fact that 3/4ths of the polling places in LA county which has the largest percentage of minorities were not open and the difficulties with the illegal ballots still ok’d to use by the ninth circuit.
The recall itself was a joke. Gov. Davis committed no crime no impeachable offense. His only crime was being unpopular. And that’s bullshit. The planners of the recall began their planning the week after Davis was re-elected. This has been an orchestrated plan. And all those in California must work to recall the recall. Congressbizzo Issa opened this Pandora box when he opened up his wallet to fund the recall.
Now Democrats and Independents and Republicans, who know to a person that the recall was bull, must work to stop this republican takeover. First Republicans stole the White House now they have stolen the Governor’s house in California. In Texas they are working to steal congressional seats in illegal congressional redistricting. Democrats must fight back. Democrats need to stop being so damn gracious in a time of political war. Democrats must fight the way the other side has in order to defeat these fascist. They must use any and all means necessary to ensure the survival of democracy and the Constitution of the United States against all those with money and drunk with power and believe they can just destroy it as the people sleep. All those who truly believe in justice must work to recall the recall. It is just. It is right. Recall the recall. Recall the recall!!!
"... elected (fraudulently)..."
Man, you guys just don't get it, do you?
The electorate in California just told you They. Are. Tired. Of. Your. Crap.
And you say, "No, no...it must have been FRAUD!"
You are so out of touch with reality.
Damn those damn dirty, stupid proles! If only they'd listen to you, CA would be a Worker's Paradise!
