Cali DUers... Your thoughts on Davis recall. [View All]

[a_random_joel]

Here's what I'm thinking. For starters, I don't care how uncharasmatic or shitty Gray Davis is doing - He was elected by a majority only 8 short months ago. The will of the people should not be overturned by some criminal millionaire with a personal agenda who wants to buy the governorship.

This is a slap in the face to Democracy. So on those grounds ALONE I will be supporting Gray Davis. But furthermore, to blame Davis for Cali's budget woes, when nearly every other state in the union's budets, AND the federal budget are also in such a sorry state, is ludicrous and hypocritical. And don't even get me started on the ENRON energy market manipulation which Bush and his cronies facilitated and have refused to address.

So I WILL be voting for Gray. I urge all of you to do the same and spread the word. This is nothing short of a paper coup.
