The Gray Davis recall in cali.
 

I know I'm liberal, which I guess makes me a little biased on this issue, and I'll admit that from the very begining.

However, am I the only one that thinks a mid-term recall election is a bad idea for california?

Here are the facts:

1) Gray Davis is a BAD governor, he's not the worst ever, but he isn't a good one, that's for damn sure

2) Gray Davis was elected governor by registered voters who actually took the time to go to the polls and VOTE!

3) the recall was voted on by angery non-voters who took all of 5 seconds to sign a petition at there local wallmart

4) the california state budget deficiet is roughly that of all 49 other states combined.

5) this is NOT Gray Davis's fault, no matter how much you want to be able to blame him. He is a bad governor, however he had no control of the dot com bubble bursting, rapping the silicon valley revenue, Dick Cheney and crew fleecing the state over for BILLIONS with cooked ERON books, and the War on IRAQ rapping even more federal funding.


I dont like Gray Davis, but I feel if you elect someone, you are stuck with them for the whole term, unless they do something bad like lie about a blowjob =)


Any thoughts?

as soon as a lefty says the only bad thing clinton ever did was get a blowjob, I know they are a leftist whacko.

would you rather bullets or a recall?

How do you explain signing long-term energy contracts at exorbanant usury rates?

How do you explain his failure to curtail massive spending after the dot com tax revenue disappeared?

How do you explain the outright lying about CA's deficit?
Somehow it miraculously bloomed 4X just days after the election.

Fuck governor gumby. If anyone besides Simon had run last year then this would not be happening.

That fucker panders to every special interest group that gives him money.

I'm not a defender of Gray Davis, let me make that point clear...

I think he is a crappy gov. that made a lot of bad descions and he is scum and blah blah blah....


I'm just saying, anyone else in his postion (even a good gov) would be facing a huge deficiet and low popularity polling. I don't think that is enough of a reason to be able to recall him, I think it just opens the door to try recalls on any election, which would be awful. Can you imagine reliving the 2000 florida debacle all the the time? That's what I fear it will be like.


I agree, Gray Davis sucks, but I don't think that alone is worth a recall.


Also, rooster, the blowjob comment was obviously a joke, get over yourself.

I can't find the article I read earlier, but its some republican who put up like 1.7 million bucks for this recall thing to even happen.

go fucking figure
