"Total Recall"
Mostly it was hagglers setting up desks at private business establishments
and screaming in the ears of everyone. There were some legal battles where I live between the annoying pricks harrasing customers and the businesses who wanted them to get off their property. Once I went to the supermarket for some antacid and this little sideburned prick screamed in my ear to sign the recall. I ignored him, went inside and got my crap. On my way out he yelled AGAIN at point blank range right into my ear. I got up in his face and told him to shut the **** up, at which he smiled, like he was getting off on it. So I rounded up a couple buddies, grabbed a tablet of paper, scribbled out a phony form and popped in a fresh video tape. We went down there and I stood and yelled in that pricks ear to sign our petition for about almost an hour and we filmed the whole thing. I gotta say, that guy must have been a career public nuisance because he didn't even budge the whole time. I wonder where they get these people... blahblah ALL MUSIC IS ORIGINAL... EVEN IF ONLY ONE NOTE IS CHANGED! EVERYONE CREATES IN A VACUUM! |

They pay them for each signature they produce. They are supposed to be registered voters, but no one seems to have checked. Oddly, I never encountered anyone with a recall petition in the bay area...

Come to think of it, I didn't encounter any petitioners in the bay area either. Wonder why? It may be interesting to note that the vast majority of people I saw signing were quite elderly. The way they had it set up, you would think you're signing something to save orphans or something. Lots of people signed without realizing what they were doing. Some call it democracy at work... I call it deception at work. blahblah ALL MUSIC IS ORIGINAL... EVEN IF ONLY ONE NOTE IS CHANGED! EVERYONE CREATES IN A VACUUM! |

You can call everyone in the State an idiot if it makes you feel better, but you cannot deny that the sentiment supporting recall was extremely widespread, the turnout was about 20% higher than the last Presidential election, and there is no segment of the population that didn't show show strong support for the recall. Davis tried every trick in the book along the way, tried to pay off everyone who supported him in the past and the public just didn't buy it.

Not if you look at who voted no on the recall and who voted for Arnold. VERY close. If you consider an Apples And Oranges comparison meaningful. Over 55% voted to recall. THAT's a landslide. If you add Arnold's and McClintock's number together, the next in line Democrat lost by 2,200,000 votes! That's a major repudiation of Democratic "Politics as usual" in the Golden State.

Democrat lost by 2,200,000 votes! What does putting their numbers together have to do with anything? If you look at who voted no and who voted for Arnold there is a 20K vote difference. That's apples to apples. Bustamante got over 1,000,000 more votes that Mclintock. Of course the movie star won. He was on Jay leno, Oprah, everything that the others couldn't get close to. --------------------------------------- "I know enough to know I don't know enough" |

(LeBaron & Alrich)
Unfortunately you are as ignorant as many California voters, seeing as how the situation against which they voted is Enron's politics as usual, and somehow the Democratness of that escapes me. Apparently a lot more than that escapes you. Let me be more clear Hank. 55% overall voted for the recall, and 48% overall voted for Arnold. More people voted for Arnold than voted against the recall. And Bustamonte made a pathetic showing despite a split in the Republican vote, if you consolidate the Arnold votes and the McClintock votes just how PO'ed the California electorate was should be crystal clear. This election was a major repudiation of the Democratic _Party_ in California's "business as usual", and the sooner you start trying to figure out why that is and stop swallowing hook line and sinker all the BS talking points the Party puts out for the "True Believers'" , the more in touch with reality you will be.

What does putting their numbers together have to do with anything? It shows a major repudiation of the Democratic Party, even with a spilt in the Republican Party the nearest Democrat was trounced. If you look at who voted no and who voted for Arnold there is a 20K vote difference. That's apples to apples. That is incorrect. Arnold got 48.7 % of the overall vote, and 55.4 % supported the recall. More people voted for Arnold than opposed the recall.

Some of those got a lot of electoral college votes but the actual vote was 10% or less difference. Any sport I can think of, 10% difference is a "close game." |

You were trying to claim by extension that the whole recall process was bogus, contrived and manipulated and as such did not reflect the position of the people of the State of California.

Unless you factor in that the nearest democrat wasn't trounced. How is being recalled by 55.7% of the heavily Democratic electorate NOT being "trounced" when you're a Democrat? Because in a field of hundreds of candidates Arnold only got 3% than voted against the recall? That's a very very weak assertion Dude, methinks you are still in some serious denial...

being "trounced" when you're a Democrat? You need to calm down a little. Because in a field of hundreds of candidates Arnold only got 3% than voted against the recall? That's a very very weak assertion Dude, methinks you are still in some serious denial... I don't follow. My point is simple. very close to the same amount of people voted FOR Arnold as governor thaqn did to keep Davis. FYI, I'm not trying to take this partisan. Why are you? --------------------------------------- "I know enough to know I don't know enough" |
