I don't think this is a good thing

Governor recall headed to California ballot

Granted, I am not from California, I don't follow California politics closely, but what's up with this? If you don't like the guy who got elected, now you don't even need an excuse or an independent prosecutor, you can just pump money into campaigning to getting rid of him? Am I the only one who thinks this is a corruption of democracy? I understand not being happy with elected officials, but if I tried to force a recall of certain public figures, I think I'd be receiving a visit from the Department of Homeland Security or worse.

By the way, I'd like to say I think my own political party is too honorable to try this, but really I just think they're too dumb. And broke.

BUT I'M STILL IN A GOOD MOOD DAMMIT!!!

I agree. Since I come from these here parts (Californ-IA), I've been asked to sign recall petitions. I decline, of course, because it is a waste of time.

If this prick gets elected, can you start an immediate movement to recall him for subverting the democratic process?

Haven't you heard, Arnold may run! He will Terminate his opponents (in Austrian accent).

What's your opinion on all of this?

I think it is stupid. Whoever inherits his mess (and Gray Davis is a horrible governor) is going to be just as hated. Personally I think this state will be screwed for awhile. Davis is very corrupt, there have just been no other candidates that were better than him or pushed by the parties because no one wants his mess. Issa is insane.

I think I'm going to have to.
