How can this nonsense pass as news? I have seen more sensible articles in the Onion. I believe I may be a bit dumber for having read it and hope God has mercy on my soul.
Friggin Yahoo...ROFLMAO.
"Since 1950, five of the eight other presidents who fell below 40 percent--Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush--lost their bids for reelection or opted not to run again"
Another fool who's forgotten GWBush isn't going to run again. And, as one who actively participated in the California recall, let me tell you Pres. Bush's present "unpopularity" (even assuming it exists and is not just a bunch of rigged polls) is nowhere near what the anger against Davis was. Pres. Bush still has the strong support of 80% of Republicans, I think I saw somewhere; so if you take 80% of Republicans and 0% of dems, you probably get somewhere around 35% popularity. Not a poll I'd care to stake a recall on.
NOTE TO THIS NIMROD: if you are serious about this. There is a CONSTITUTIONAL process in place. So get busy and try to put your "recall" in the US constitution.Otherwise shut up!

Richard benedetto, = liberal Moron
USA Today= Liberal Rag.
Sum Total...Worthless Story.
"I say we hold them to their words that Bush never won in 2000 (and 2004?) and, on a technicality, argue that it is constitutional for him to run again in 08...
Just for spite.."
I've used that against them for a long long time now. They do a 180 so fast it makes your head spin.
What a bunch of crying babies. The President was elected by the process our country agreed upon many many years ago. We are not going to change the rules just because the DimoRATS are now out of power - they still have control of the LIBERAL COURTS. We need to get that back under control. They have done so much damage to this once great nation, that it is doubtful we can ever fully recover.
I'm feeling very lazy today.
A hypothetical question.
Just suppose the commies got their way and GWB was recalled, then Dick Cheney would fill the slot.
Is there anything in the laws that would prevent Dick Cheney from naming GWB as his VP?
You mean that guy who won the '92 election with only 43%?
Does Ted Rall really think his lunacy will get a warmer reception if he doesn't attach his name to it? Why is it unsigned at Yahoo!?
If one did not know that this was America's 'Rat Party, one could easily believe this was some third-world country political party.
Sad.

In fact, President Bush is doing a fine job, polls be damned. Those same poll numbers may start rising soon and this kind of gibberish about non-constitutional 'recall elections' from the deranged left will quickly subside.
The booming U.S. economy - once the rationale the Clinton defenders used to justify his weak presidency - the slow but steady success of the democratization of Iraq and the rarely talked-about safety of the nation from terrorist attacks since 9/11/01 all add up to a successful presidency that the left - naturally - hates. Tough.
Were Bush actually all that politically vulnerable, the congressional Democrats would have had the guts to vote 'Yes' when given the chance to end thr Iraq 'war' just a few weeks ago. They did not. Not even close. End of story.
ROFL!!!
Let me Guess.
They now don't think they'll capture the House and the Senate, so they cannot impeach him for purely partisan reasoning. So now they want a recall because they think they can win that? LOL
Why endorse a recall anyway? I thought G.W.B. was illegitimate. Shouldn't we be in Gore's second term and Kerry's first?
You know what really frightens them and steams them at the same time?
The prospect G.W.B. will go down as one of the greatest Presidents in our country and prescient Leaders in Time. They hate this man more than they did Reagan or Nixon at this point. The prospect that he will not only serve two terms, but may make gains for the party successfully throughout his terms and rank beyond their reach in history shakes them to the core.
he's shaking down their idol FDR if he makes the Republican Party Majority permanent. He's shaking down Clinton's non legacy (saving impeachment and Monica). he's matching up Reagan, Washington, Lincoln and Churchill (I'd add Truman and to some extents Kennedy and FDR) the greats on what is truly important. WOT. Plus probably reshaping the Judiciary.
The reason the Dems want to replay 2000, 2002, and 2004 in 2006 as a race against Bush is because they feel it's one of the last chances they have to beat him in theory if not electorally. 2008 will be about Bush as well. We beat them in 2006 and 2008 then they've effectively lost the opportunity to ever run against him again, saving in trying to distort history's interpretation of him that will not be successful after their deaths.
How long has Yahoo been publishing its own editorials? Who would pay attention to editorials by a company named Yahoo?
"Is there anything in the laws that would prevent Dick Cheney from naming GWB as his VP?
I suppose the only issue would be if there somehow were legal charges brought against President Bush during the recall or to trigger the recall that he was found guilty of (Note: A recall isn't even given credence in the Constitution, but I don't expect a Lib to know that..)"
Thanks....that's what I thought.
Wish I had the skill to make up a phony petition to have the constitution changed, giving the right to GWB to be able to run again in 2008. My bet they'd soon drop that "GWB stole the 2000 and 2004 elections" chant.
Well, at least for a while.
Michelle Malkin pretty well summed up this "talent" back in July '04 ~ THE BUCK-NAKED BIGOTRY OF TED RALL after he published a crude-toon includes a frame depicting Condoleezza Rice proclaiming herself Bush's "HOUSE NIGGA."
Can we get this idea to Karl Rove? LOL
