Now you are down to personal attacks.

I refer to these little tidbits in your original reply to my post...

"irrational hatred of the people of California.."

That is code for "anyone who doesn't live here and has a negative opinion about California is irrational".

Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut?

Again a crude rebuttal that says simply "shut up" if you trim off the fat.

You are the one, my spittle ejecting friend, who used personal attacks at the get-go. My comments on California views the state as the collective whole. The collective voted the guy in, the collective can live with him for the duration of his term. A few more years of pouring billions down a rathole might make a Republican candidate look more attractive in the next election cycle and lead to sweeping changes in the reigns of power. Just because something can be done, doesn't mean that it should be done. Examples are legion. A recall at this time, as pointed out by an earlier poster, could backfire and have disastrous effects for a meaningful Republican challenge for power when Davis's term runs its course. Davis is doing such a good job to assure the loss of democratic power in California, it would be a shame to interrupt him.

I see, so started this? Fine. I shouldn't have indirectly told you to shut up. I'm sorry. You've beaten me at that in spades since then. "spittle ejecting" come on, what are you doing?

That is code for "anyone who doesn't live here and has a negative opinion about California is irrational".

That's not code, you still don't understand how offensive that is. To say those things about Californians as a whole is clearly irrational. To calously wish for our destruction in the manor you did is indeed spiteful.

A recall at this time, as pointed out by an earlier poster, could backfire and have disastrous effects for a meaningful Republican challenge for power when Davis's term runs its course Super, we're on issues again. Here's why the "let 'em sink" arguement is wrong. In leaving Davis in power, you have to realize that establishing a liberal orthodoxy might be more likely if we DO NOT recall Gray Davis. Currently, the debt is entirely abstract, dealing in "future" proposed spending. Better yet, read this. The DNC stratigy is to only cut spending on things "the people" will be upset about, Police, Fire, Roads, Schools to justify new taxes. They are already phrasing the debate that "cuts" means those cuts. We keep spending 41% more with every budget. They manage to call any reduction in these new spending proposals a "cut" image what they will do after they are law. In 2007, in order to get things back to the way they are now, spending would roughly have to be cut 82% to roll back what had been wasted. Precident has been set, it won't happen. More importantly it will be easy to shoot down conservative arguements to do that nasty of cutting, soooooo, in order to get anything "done" the GOP has to propose...da da da DA; tax increases of their own. From there, its easy for cynics to say "what's the difference anyways" and not vote, or vote for 3rd party losers. Indirectly, the innaction you are argueing for causes the Left to hold serve. Always remember, conservatism in its most basic form = optimism. Cynicism, in the form of poo-pooing the Recall, is always the ally of the Left.

The recall is going to happen, support us, its going to be a beautiful thing.
