Why Davis deserves to be recalled

Good article! What he fails to add, though, is that Davis' basic incompetence is exacerbated by his being hamstrung by Democrats in the Legislature who have merrily spent the state into the hole it's in. He does not have the balls to challenge John Burton and co. A Republican governor would have had an easier time controlling spending. In 1990, Pete Wilson faced a budget crisis, the Legislature refused to pass his budget and thought they could force him into more spending. He stood his ground and the Legislature eventually caved. Davis has neither the spine nor the political ability to do this. With the Legislature gerrymandered into permanent Democratic control, the only hope for California is to elect a Republican governor. It almost doesn't matter who it is.

only the second governor in U.S. history to actually be recalled, because of his unfavorable standing among California residents across the board.

Right now there's an anti-recall supporter in San Francisco accosting financial district workers as they exit the subway at Montgomery. This is the highest foot traffic point in occupied San Francisco. He is being totally ignored, not one person is biting. Most walk right past him with a snear on their face. Davis is about to go down in Socialist California infamy.

The ignominy...
Get used to it.

Does this mean Davis won't be running for President ? :)

Davis' mismanagement of the state's budget is matched only by his mishandling of the state's recent electricity crisis.

That's reason enough to throw the Bum out.

Davis is also a New Yorker and I consider him nothing but a carpet bagger. New Yorker's tend to like to play, fast and loose, with other people's money.

Run Davis out of California on a rail. The people of New York City will gladly elect Davis, mayor. Mrs. Davis' little boy, "Graham", needs to return to the Bronx.

This is an excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

fyi

Won't the demoncrats tell him to resign so the Lt Gov can become governor? Won't that make the recall null and void? I cannot figure how the Democrats can lose if he just steps down.

I probably shouldn't post this. This post deals with one area not yet taxed by the rats in Sac. Land. Burton and his tax and spend perverts will be proposing this as a new tax before next week ends.

NZ flatulence tax outrages farmers
BBC ^ | 06/20/03

New Zealand's farmers have criticised a proposed tax on the flatulence emitted by their sheep and cattle.

The move is part of the Wellington government's action to meet its commitments under the Kyoto Protocol on global warming.

Scientists estimate that methane emitted by farm animals is responsible for more than half of the country's greenhouse gases.

Flatulence from cows, sheep and other ruminants is a serious environmental problem, accounting for about 15% of worldwide emissions of methane - one of the most potent of greenhouse gases.

"It's being organized and financed by a bunch of rich losers," Davis told The Orange County Register. "Nothing but a bunch of losers running around talking to one another.

Whiney Liberal Alert.

Doomed to the ash heap of history, just like his mentor, Jerry Who?

[egarvue]

They won't do that for the same reason here in Illinois that the Republicans didn't kick old corrupt George Ryan out on his behind - they're too beholden to Grey and his money and party influence. Its the same reason that the Dems didn't kick Clinton out and install Gore (thank goodness they didn't, or we'd have President Gore right now).

[dalereed]

"Jerry Who?"

You mean the ex governor who used to have "leap frog on the lawn" and "swallow the leader" games on his front lawn on Laural Canyon in L.A.?

[NormsRevenge]

What ? No exception for old farts?

[Grampa Dave]

No exception for old or new ones!

We must tax everything that humans and critter do and think about doing to pay the votes of the perverts who exist because of our tax $'s

[CA Conservative]

Someone just pointed out on another thread that Gray resigning at this point does not stop the process. Once the recall petition has started circulating, the process continues to completion. According to state law, if Davis resigned now, Bustamante would be acting governor. If the recall qualified for the ballot, whomever received the greatest number of votes would take over from Bustamante. So it is too late for Gray to just hand over the governorship to his selected successor.

I'd pay $100 to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger tell the dufe he'd been terminated.
