i voted AGAINST the recall but FOR Arnold.
why?
First of all, the recall is a fuckin ridicolous idea. The guy has been in office less then 11 months and didnt break any laws. He by NO MEANS is a good governer but he hasnt done anything in my opinion to be removed from power. This recall was started by a bunch of rich right wing conservatives from Orange county and the suburbs of L.A. who couldnt win a fuckin election if they tried! Do you guys remember seeing the little bitch who started this crying like a five year old when he realized he didnt have a chance at governer?! Jesus!
This whole election makes a mockery of the last 80 years of California politics. California was home to the progressive movement back in the day and created things like the Recall to get rid of crooks, not bad politicians. We made our choice 11 months ago to go for Davis and we should be forced to stick to it. Who knows how many fuckin recalls we will have in the future now!
Not only that, but someone enlighten me on how we got a deficit in the first place? I dont have the numbers, but Im guessing that a great deal of the budget went towards energy contracts and energy prices; prices that California got RIPPED off on major by companies from other states, like Texas. Last time I checked, disputes between two states are handled at the FEDERAL level, and the head of the Federal level is the President. He didnt do shit and he new damn well we were getting fucked over. So whos really to blame?
But if someone has to be elected, I figure why not Arnold? The best Democrat is Bustamante and he is from the same camp as Davis! The best republican candidate arguably is McClintok, and his big scheme is getting rid of the car tax. Watching Arnold in the debate reminded me of somehing: he is not a politician. And that could be a good thing. Most politicians are shit heads. So by not being a politician, hes not being a shit head, and he's more honest. I identify more with him than any other politician. He wants to make a change, he wants to improve our life, and hes a moderate.
And if it doesnt work out, you mine as well have California go up in flames under the Terminator than some white washed dull fat fuck like Bustamonte.
