I love this. I'm gonna laugh myself to sleep and laugh all day at work tomorrow.
Come to think of it I have something else to laugh about: Quote:

I saw the "honorable" Jesse Jackson on Hannity and Colmes saying that the Dems will likely challenge it in the morning or at the very least file for a recall of their own within the next few months. At any rate what a circus this will become. I think this was a good move, hopefully Arnold will get something done, although I can already see the Dem controlled legislature cock blocking every little thing.
**I just heard that there is already a fund in upwards 3 million dollars to get the NEXT recall moving when politically in their favor.**

I mean seriously, Gray Davis was a joke of a governor he had what like a 26% approval rating??? The economy was dive bombing and extremely un business friendly... what's the worse that could be done in a years time (or do they vote in 2006?) ?

I find it refreshing that Arnold didn't have all the answers, hopefully that will leave him open to compromise and getting some shit done.
BTW he most definently had a platform, he was an ultra liberal republican who was anti-gun, pro-choice, and anti-taxes... sounds like a sound platform to me.

How do you know he can't run the state? Some simple facts. Arnold is a winner. He succeeds at everything he does. He will surround himself with people who will help him. Lastly, IMO, he's in a no win situation and I think most people think the same. |

Arnold was elected solely because of his fame and the high anti-Davis turnout. His whole campaign consisted of concealing how ignorant and incompetent he is.
His name got him into the governor's mansion, but it won't run the state of California. He's going to need to do that himself. |

I can't believe that intelligent people would vote for a man with no experience, no platform and no credibility. Sure, I could see a few college students getting loaded and going to the polls to vote ARNIE! but man, what a joke

Whats also amusing is that 60+% of California voted for a republican in this election, if that doesn't scare the crap ouf of the Democrat/Socialists nothing will.

I hope they do recall him. The use of the recall in this sense is a complete joke and it sickens me.
BTW how can their be such an assured victory when less than 20% of precints have reported and its 55/45?

How can you liberals be whining so baddly.
This was almost PURE democracy in action. The people voted, it was a majority, a HORRIBLE gov was removed. Maybe Arnold will suck, maybe he won't, maybe he will get lucky, but this was the will of the people. Oh wait I remember, liberals only care about the will of the people if its for the RIGHT(left) people.

We can "whine" because the recall was not meant to be used in this manner and it sets a horrible precident.

What manner was it ment to be used?
This wasn't even CLOSE. Davis was reviled. I think we need more of this in government. If this were a republican you would be dancing in the streets.

The recall wasn't meant to be used in order to end a term midway just because support is lost no matter how grossly. The intended use is for it to be exercised only in times of extreme corruption or misconduct. While most democrats won't even tell you that Davis was a great politician, most will tell you that the economy out there was not his fault and that his administration was free of corruption.

I'm disheartened by the idea that the governor will be nothing more than a figurehead, a way the party got into office. He's got no political experience, and he wouldn't have been elected in a real election. But hey, whatever. Watch the country go to hell in a handbasket. I like my mayor, Rendell. He's a solid guy, and you know what else? He can run for president! Sorry, Arnold. Demolition Man notwithstanding, this is as far as you go. GOD WILLING.

Can you honestly tell me that you think there was something he (or for that matter any single governor) could do when a nation wide economy hits and your state suffers? I mean, my state has had to cut way back on its spending to offset the impacts of the war we waged in Iraq. Hell, my university had to cut a flaming crap ton of its programs, but we aren't foolish enough to believe that it is our governors fault or that he really could have done anything about it.

Maybe if you didn't give benefits to people who weren't from this country... or grant 30,000 sex changes to state workers with tax payer money???

Yep, it's the will of the people all right. Unfuckingbelievable. Davis was ten months into his second term. What did everyone know now that they didn't know when they reelected him? I don't defend Davis but I don't revile him either. All states are facing critical financial problems. This was a political event generated largely by one man with the money to make it happen. Once again the herd just followed. And now they have voted in Arnold. Jesus, even Jesse Ventura had been a mayor first. Spare me the righteous and highfallootin' diatribe about citizen government and the American Dream. California is bigger than most countries. What a bunch of media mesmerized sheep. Life is stranger than fiction. Well California, enjoy your adulation. You've got a big strong daddy to take care of you now. Everyone can go back to sleep.
