yeah, that was a last second before the buzzer post. i think we'd be better off picking an inmate from random out of San Quentin and making him the governor rather than letting a CEO run CA. at least politics would confuse most inmates, not give them a permanent hardon and visions of plundering the state's coffers.

 

Hahaha

 

You mean like Al Chechi (sp)? Who davis beat out for the Democratic primary (he was the CEO of TWE and credited for turning around that airline among other finacial successes). He could have one until Davis starting running his smear campain tactics much like he did in the last two governorial campains...

Despite the fact I'm not a fan of Davis, removing him from office is just rediculous. Just like how the Republican party tried to remove Clinton from office... This new trend is pissing me off, trying to remove people from office via the back door rather than through actual elections Thats just lame and a sidestep of the democratic foundations this country is based on.

However, I would vote for Arnold in the OFFICIAL governorial election. I strongly support his views on Physical Education in schools, unless of course the Democratic Party manages to nominate Hunter Hearst Helmsley to oppose Arnold

 

If Davis hadn't LIED and COVERED UP the BUDGET DEFICIT, I would tend to agree with Steve (Kosta). I know that he is a bleeding heart, but I would agree with him. He shrouded it for the soul purpose of getting re-elected.

Clinton is a bald faced Liar, and should have been convicted by the Senate.

Make no mistake Steve, he is going down.

 

but checks and balances are BUILT INTO our system to allows us to get rid of someone who aint doing the job.

given the mess davis has gotten kalifronia into, would you re-elect him again?

 

I dont blame people in power for events that occur while they are in office. Bad decision making, yes I blame them for that. But the economic downturn was not his fault, 9/11 was not his fault, Enron was not his fault (I think one is the result of the poorly-reasoned attempt to deregulate california's energy suply), the current recession is not his fault, nor is the current job market his fault, they are alot of folks fault including unrelated un-controlable events, business occurences, and other things.

I dont like Davis's tactics, I dont like some of his decisions reguarding education, and I dont like his face, but I havent seen anything "worthy" of tossing him from office. He hasnt done anything illegal and isnt physically disabled to the point of being unable to perform his duty (although Im sure some of you guys would argue this ). Just because we dont like him doesnt give us a legitimate reason to impeach him...

Would I reelect him? Not over another Democrat, no. Over any republican other than Arnold? Probably. If he does get ousted my money goes to Feinstein being your next governer, cause despite how many Republican votes are availible in California, they are still out numbered quite a bit...

 

I don't think you can blame davis for creating the budget deficit problem. Remeber people in CA were raped by the energy "trading" companies who deliberatly created artificial brown outs and power problems to artificially inflate profits.

Now I will agree that he has been given an apropriate amount of time to solve the problems caused by the artifical energy crisis, but has utterly failed to do so.

Davis only won the election because it was a choice between a known quantity (Davis) and a republican canidate who's company was convicted of fraud by the federal government.

CEO's of companies who are willing to trade that for politics are only interested in serving their own personal lust for power. They are not interested in serving the interests of the general public. Just look at Chenny's "energy commision" as an example.

 

Davis blew up spending faster than the population was growing. You had to have been an idiot not to realize that the "dot bomb" was just a big *** bubble that was doomed to burst.

The Liar pissed me off when he hid the deficit. There is no excuse for that. That m'er f'er promised that he would not raise taxes.

Time to get a good conservative in there to cut spending. End of story. The stupid Dems are cutting where we need people the most. Like safety (Police and HP) and ecucation. Time to get rid of more welfare checks and social programs guys. God knows that we can't afford to cut the highway budgets anymore.

If Fienstien is elected, you can kiss this great state goodbye. She is one of the reasons we don't have any bases anymore. Talk about a ding in the econmy. During her reign, we lost 7 major bases here in CA, 2 of those being in the Bay Area. The dot bomb bubble would not have been so hard felt had the Bay still had Alameda, Moffett, and the Oakland Army Base.

I will NEVER return in Fienstien is elected governor. She won't be, so we will be OK. She is just the type of ***** that is going to make cars more difficult with stupid communistic smog laws.

**** the tree huggers !

 

So Clinton lied about getting some pu**y and making a little dough. Where W lied about some country having weapons and starting his own war. Hmmm...

 

That is simply not true En3d. Everybody knows that Iraq had WMD.

 

Just my 2¢, I think Awnold Shwazanegga would be a pretty good Candidate and I would vote for him. I think he would be concerned with reputation and try to make everyone happy. He doesn't seem that bad and theres nothing wrong with the fact that hes an actor. We had Ronald Reagan and everyone I know said he did a good job (I was too young to know better then). As far as I am concerned we just need to get rid of Davis. Too many mistakes and poor decision making, hes lucky he ran against another idiot this last race. As far as my personal interests, my gf is studying to be a teacher and is worried that when she graduates she wont be able to find a job. I cant believe davis is so quick to cut into school funds of an already weak, low rated school system.

 

It has yet to be proven that Iraq has had any WMD recently (within 8 years)

We know Iraq had them, Rumsfeld was the "civilian" advisor in deals when we sold them WMD to "gaurd" against Iran durning the Regan adminstration.

 

The sad thing is, we also sold Iran their own set of weapons
Good ol USA

 

bump

 

since this was bumped...

remember the old saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."???

at any given moment, the US gov will help out their friends. but who knows when they'll turn around become the enemy.

in the middle east, the US has interest because of oil (okay, primarily).

stability in that region means cheap gas. we are all for cheap gas, right?

so when some wacko decides to do thing against the policy of the US, the US tries to do everything to fix that.

this aint a perfect world. it it were, we be all driving 200 mph cars, gas that is cheaper than bottled water, etc.

why isnt the US jumping into the liberia? no offense to liberians reading this, but there isnt much there for the US to worry about.

kuwait attacked? within hours, US troops are immobilizing.
