7/24 How many of you are going to recall Davis in Oct?
Yes ...
No ....
\_ I think, based on the things out of his control (i.e. dot com
bubble, corrupt power companies), I think he's done a good job.
He's the reason why gas stations can no longer can charge for
air/ water in CA. I hated that!
\_ Uhm, no. He helped create and maintain CA's tax system which
was *heavily* based on money from cap. gains (stock options) and
thus had the entire state deep into the dotcom bubble. He also
did nothing to get us out the power mess and in many ways made
it worse by being spineless and by signing even more bloated
contracts with the same people who fucked us/him the first time
around. At best he's a boob. At worst he should be the first
against the wall when the revolution comes. How can you live in
CA and somehow believe this vapid career politician is somehow
merely a victim of circumstance? Do you say the same thing about
Bush and the federal economy? Oh poor George inherited this mess
from Clinton and it's all someone else's fault! No. If GWB gets
crushed in '04 it'll be because of the economy and rightly so,
the same as Davis today. There's always another politician.
This one had more than enough chances and did nothing each time.
\_ There was not much whoever inherited the White House could
have done. The late 90's were nothing more than a speculative
bubble. Greenspan injected 5 trillion into the economy
over the period.
\_ Davis attacked Riordan in order to face Simon. Davis concealed
the magnitude of the deficit. Davis and his pals increased
state spending without adequate preparation for a tech bubble
burst. The first reason is enough for me to vote to eject Davis.
-Democrat in L.A.
\_ Ahhhhhhhrrnoold!
\_ I'm totally voting for Arney if he runs. Too bad he can't
follow in Reagan's footsteps and become President after but
we can always just ignore the Constitution since it's a living
document.
\_Demolition MAN!

\_ If he wins, that means no more new blockbuster action
flicks from him!!
\_ Yeah, but then you can have quotes like "Your tax
proposals will be Terminated!" and "I'll be back ...
if you elect me for a 2nd term!"
\_ If he runs, he needs a speech therapist like he had on the set
of True Lies. You can barely understand him in all his other
movies.
\_ so is his speech impediment due to learning disabilities
or just that that Scandinavians speak like that?
\_ He is from fucking AUSTRIA! OSTERREICH! GET IT,
you fool!?
\_ I think he modeled himself after Hans and Franz on SNL,
but he has much bigger muscles.
\_ If the Republicans were dumb enough to not realize that Davis
campaigning against Riordan should have made them more likely
to vote for him, there is no help for them. Davis has the
right to campaign for whomever he chooses, just like any
other American. I agree with you on the rest of your points
though. |
