Ex-Governor (Pete Wison) to GOP: Fight Schwarzenegger Recall

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Former Gov. Pete Wilson urged his fellow Republicans on Saturday not to make light of a recall drive against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He told delegates at the California Republican Party's fall convention that they should take the threat from the state prison guards union seriously, even if it isn't likely to succeed.

"I hope that I don't have to tell you what an ill-considered idea that is. We did it once; we did not do it lightly," he said, referring to the 2003 recall of former Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, an election that sent Schwarzenegger to Sacramento. "It is something that should not be taken lightly. It is an extreme measure."

A conservative wing of the state GOP was scheduled to vote later Saturday on whether to endorse the recall campaign.

In his lunchtime speech to about 250 delegates, Wilson did not directly address the rift between the politically moderate Schwarzenegger and others in his party. Schwarzenegger also avoided the topic during brief remarks to about 300 party members and supporters Friday night.

Personally, if I were a California voter, I would vote to recall.

Schwarzenegger makes Gray Davis look like a fiscal conservative, Arnold is the worst governor in the history of California.

"I don't know who the Governor, I'm sure you'll help me to recall him. I'm sure you'll help me to recall him."

God knows that Arnold deserves a recall. If I lived in CA, I'd probably not work on circulating recall petitions or sign it (odds are whoever California gets to replace him will be worse.), but crud I wouldn't waste any time opposing it.

“Arnold is a Republican?”

Arnold needs to be thrown in the dumpster just like Grey Davis was.

Sorry about the double post, but it’s so true that maybe it should be posted twice.

FYI, CA is the 8th largest economy in the world and this Californian would like nothing more than to secede from the Union...we’d be able to keep more of our money at home instead of sending it to D.C. And since GWB refuses to enforce the immigration laws; we could then secure our own borders and deport the millions of illegals in our state and “clean house”.

I suggest you concern yourself with the problems of your state and let those of us who live, work & pay taxes in CA deal with our problems.

Good day.
