Any idea which of the five are Republican and if they supported President Bush in 2000?

[Jean S]

Bush can't call this off. What do they want him to do? Write an executive order?

[Porterville]

Who??? Never heard of these loosers; can we vote them out of their "prominent" positions???

"The president should demand an end to the recall effort because the nation cannot afford to have California's economy remain stuck in reverse," it said, in part.

And just how did it get into reverse in the first place? The people running the place put it there, that's how. The same ones these bozos want to keep in office. Someone ask these morons how Gray Davis' magnificent presence is helping the situation.

What "narrow wing" of the republican party is 800,000 plus wide? That is one mighty big "narrow wing"!

If I had been a fence sitter in Kalifornia, this article and bitch slap of the 400,000 who already signed the petition would have been enough to make me sign!

Sometimes you've gotta start all over again. That means tough times are ahead for the trough feeders who will bitch the loudest. Which is a good thing.......

These are apparently successful people who think it is a useful idea to spend coffee money (in terms of their wallets) for a totally useless ad. 1) It ain't the business of the President to tell the leaders of any petition in California to knock it off. 2) Even if the President was stupid enough to do that, they wouldn't listen, because they don't have to. 3) The driving force behind the recall is that Davis is a sleazy, lying, incompetent, and nothing that anyone says will change that obvious fact.

So how come these so-called leaders are so all-fired dumb?

Latest article, now up FR, "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies."

[Southack]

"The Times piece contended that the recall effort threatens to plunge a state already reeling from a gigantic budget deficit even deeper into chaos."

Except, if the *recall* is the only problem, the easy answer is to ask Grayout Davis to resign in order to spare the state from all of that "chaos".

In other words, their little lie doesn't hold up.

"The president should demand an end to the recall effort because the nation cannot afford to have California's economy remain stuck in reverse,"

Yes, and California's economy will just MAGICALLY IMPROVE if the recall goes away. Ha...

I still can't decide if the recall is for the best or not (not that it's my call, since I don't live there), but it is perfectly legal and these businessman have no more say than anyone else whether it will ultimately happen or not.

[longtermmemmory]

this says Davis is in BIG trouble. It will also peg the democrat party as the party of problems. Gray davis will be the poster boy of the Democrat party. The party of deviants, the party of perverts, the party of Davis.

[Tench_Coxe]

Gee, what's Bush supposed to do, call in the National Guard and prevent people from signing with the point of a gun?
Or, why not do what Democrats are best at---Have Gray Davis sign an executive order ( stroke of the pen, law of the land bit ), then declare the petition null and void, and have his buddies in the media lie and distort away the egregious abuse of power. Worked for Clinton, didn't it?

"bipartisan group"

Yeah, right! When donkeys fly!!

These people are pitiful ... all they do is badmouth Bush and say it's all his fault for the condition California is in ... and now they want Bush to stop the recall ... idiots! No wonder this state is in such a mess!

[Ken H]

White House spokeswoman Ashley Snee on Sunday said the recall effort is a California matter and the White House is not involved.

It's a California matter, snickered Snee.

[joesnuffy]

A minority wants to stop the majority from due political process....
They wont like what the alternative will be...
Of course then the Prez most likely would interfere

[goldstategop]

Liberal big business leaders join hands with liberal labor union bosses to ask President Bush to intervene in what is essentially a state matter? I guess they're for federal intervention when they're going to lose. Funny and the thing is my recollection is they declared they didn't want federal intervention back in 2000 in what was clearly a federal matter. Liberals asking President Bush to save their bacon. Ahh, the visceral pleasure of schadenfreude at work. Its fun watching the enemy go up right to the man they hate with a passion to get him to cancel democracy.

[Antoninus]

What's this? I thought the recall was in trouble according to the "Murk-ury" News.... Guess not....

Seriously, I think ol' Gay Davis is calling in some favors to try to head this thing off. Hopefully this freight train will just run him and his lackeys over.

[kellynla]

Bi-partisan? Yea, 4 jackasses and one rino.I hope they are not holding their collective breaths for an executive order. The Dimwit Davis is going down for the count. Almost lunch time and we have Davis in the toaster and the rest of the Dimwit legislature on the grill. What's for lunch? Grilled pork on toast! Next up? After we eject the moron Daivs we're gonna KNOCKOUT BOXER!

[mabelkitty]

Bush isn't King.

The will of the people is to reselect thier Governor.

[steve-b]

What the hell is Bush supposed to do -- send in storm troopers to haul the petitioners off to Gitmo?

[Landru]

How very reminiscent of "The Letter" defending the Sink Emporer signed by all those important *dignitaries* [read: losers] during impeachment.
Remember the pols, scholars, authors & actors whose names appeared on [that] whole page plea appearing in USAToday et al?
I sure do.

Anyone sense the 'Rat modus operandi for dealing with opposition politics -- as designed -- being employed, once again??
This has the distinct stench of 'Rat deja vu to me, alright.

Wonder if the nation's up to the task of catching the 'Rats playing their old tricks this time around?
