9/29 This has probably been covered already, but what is the prevailing
rationale, if any, on the part of recall proponents as to why this
recall is merited? Considering that we anyway have elections every
4 years, Davis won, and the stuff ppl complain about is no different
than what they complained about before the election? And does anyone
doubt that if he gets recalled, the replacement will also get recalled?
\_ no, you're right, it's dumb, it sucks that the rest of
us have to suffer due to a quirk in the law, and it sucks
that this stuff has to be test driven in one of the world's
largest economies and America's most populous state.
\_ a quirk in the law? the recall isn't a technicality.
\_ Davis needs punished for sucking. Cutting Davis' career short is
reason enough for me (conservative policy is more likely to help
california also). -- petty and vindictive
\_ so when democrats decide to try to recall a republican govorner
a few months into their term and win, only to be recalled by
angry republicans whose candidate is recalled, etc., will
that have been worth it? the whole thing seems like a bad
precedent for an already over politicized state.
\_ Over politicized now? Check the polls. Lots of democrats are
for the recall. If it was only politics, that wouldn't be the
case.
\_ You *might* buy enough signatures to start a recall against
Arnold but it'll *never* pass the general voting population
a few months into his term. Don't confuse the minimum req'd
sigs to start a recall with step 2 where we all get to vote.
\_ Troll, he's getting recalled primarily for lying his ass off about
the true state of the economy before his election and then dumping
the truth on us only after he thought his position was secure. He
is so cynical it even makes me ill and I've got really thick skin.
The rest of his corruption, lying, incompetence, and stupidity is
just icing on the recall cake. Davis is dead. Unless someone gets
Arnold on tape raping under age nuns, it's over.
\_ Sadly, no matter who is elected, this state is still Fucked (tm). |
