READ THE HEADLINE OF THIS BLOG ENTRY AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
DON'T
VOTE
ARNOLD!I don't mind the world knowing exactly what I will do today:
YES on the RECALL
Bustamante for Governor!I would have voted for Arianna Huffington because she's pretty much outside the system, but she dropped out. (The bitch!!) So, it's Bustamante to the rescue (hopefully). See, my whole problem was that Davis was a fool to take advice on the California energy "crisis" from two guys who were in the back pocket of the guys effectively causing this "crisis". It's been proven in a court of law that the private energy providers of California lied to Davis and the people of California, claiming that there was a power shortage, when there wasn't. During said "crisis", Davis turned to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for advice. He took that advice and did business with those liars. (What does that say about "W" and Cheney?) Davis was a fool - a blind man with sunglasses on at night walking through a blizzard would have seen that Bush/Cheney would spout nothing pro-big-energy-company advice. Davis needs to be fired and his Lt. Governor should take over.
I think this is a reasonable thing. If a public servant who was elected to office screws up, shouldn't there be a way to punish him without having to wait to vote him out? I'd like a job where I could screw up and not have to pay for it for two years. In Davis' case, the Republicans paid him back for doing business with the California Energy Liars by providing him with lousy competition for the Governor's mansion. So, essentially, we had no choice but to vote him back into office.
THAT wasn't democracy, that was another case of monopoly. Like Microsoft having no real competition.
Anyway, the only thing that has backfired here, IMHO, is Arnold running. While I admire his quick apologies, I don't trust him because he's a Republican. Also, he's apparently been a part of some shady dealings with fellow Republican and recall funder, Daryl Issa. I've got an article floating around my hard drive that details how Arnold joined up with Issa to help discredit Davis. Not a difficult task, but it apparently breaks a law... I'll post more on this in TheNewsBlog in the next few days.
And in case you don't know me and think I'm just some lame liberal/democrat - SORRY, HANS, WRONG GUESS! I'm an independent - tried and true. I don't believe that our founding fathers wanted the US to have a party system and clearly it's a thoroughly screwed up system. Like I said, I wanted to vote Arianna, but noooo, she had to listen to the polls! Well, of COURSE she won't get enough votes, NOW!!
OK, enough out of me, I'm going to go vote now...
Oh yeah - one last thing:
VOTE NO ON 54!Prop 54 outlaws the asking of race questions on questionaires and forms used by the state. This would effectively abolish affirmative action. It's pretty obviously a racist prop put forward by white guys in suits... NEVER TRUST THOSE GUYS!!
OK, I'm outta here! (Finally!)
