minx Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 trask, the only thing different about this than the usual election process is that people of CA woke up, took the beer goggles off, and chewed off their arm to escape. regardless of the shape it took (recall) they've swapped one politician for another. maybe arnold will do a better job than davis but it's all politics. no matter what he does someone is going to be pissed.

Sure it helps that you have a recognizable name. People who feel only politicians should run for office annoy me. FWIW, I voted for Tom McClintock not Ahhnold. Politics, Poly: many, tics: blood sucking parasites good points...and he actually lives in California too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minx Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 come to think of it they could've elected a chimp and i would be non-plussed. wait they already tried that in the 70s. as stated earlier CA is not the center of the universe and i'm tired of hearing about it. when they figure out some creative ways to solve their economic probs then i'll be interested. sure davis was a fool and probably deserved to be recalled. i guess i'm just cynical when it comes to politics. i don't see it as anything other than politcs as usual that CA elected an entertainer (?) as governor. it's not the first time and name recognition will get you a lot of votes.

erik Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 “I’m horrified at the thought that Schwarzenegger can be our governor,” said Gretchen Purser, 25, of Berkeley, who voted against recall. “I’m sick of Republicans trying to take over the state.” uh huh................... Schwarzenegger must work with Democrats, who are a majority of both houses in the Legislature and hold all statewide offices except his newly won governorship. from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have all the paid petition gatherers you want and not get the signatures needed. The petitions were tried on several occasions in the history of CA and this was the only time they got enough signatures to get on the ballot. The people were pissed off. Grey Davis did it to himself. Lied about the budget, tripled the car tax, signed legislation to give illegal aliens the right to get a drivers license, advocated free tuiton for illegal aliens amongst other things. People said enough is enough. He probably would not have survived the general election if the republicans had put up someone worthwhile. Many people I know voted for Davis while holding their nose. Many who voted for Grey Davis the first time around left when given someone else they thought was maybe going to be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Puget Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I was just pointing out I think all the electing was in the 60s. So specifically what did you think Reagan did wrong while governing CA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan, what was the deal here? What was he thinking? There was all kinds of rhetoric about how they are already here and at least we will know they can safely drive etc. etc. Also to get a license you need to have proof of insurence, so the thinking was illegal aliens would now be insured because they can get a license. We also have motor-voter registration in CA. Get a license, register to vote at the same time at the DMV, no one checks citizenship as far as I know. Not sure how all this will work. With tuition, the argument was they can improve their lives with education and money would not be a barrier. That really pissed off hard working folk trying to save for their kid's education. The funny thing is, the hispanic voting bloc, traditionally democratic, voted for the recall and Arnold even though they had Cruz Bustamonte on the ballot. I think people saw that Cruz was the same as Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
