Reply #106: I don't care whether it's in CA's constitution or not

That merely makes it legal, and doable at all.

That doesn't make it a pro-democracy technique or effort. The fascists I'm sepaking of aren't necessarily in CA, they're in Washington, and Texas, and wherever else they can get away with.

You need to wake up and get a little better educated about what's going on in this country. The Repugs are trying -- and succeeding!! -- in consolidating power wherever and however they can, in just "legal" and "constitutional" enough ways to get away with it, especially if they have the right judges when challenged in court. Doesn't make it pro-democracy that it IS legal. It only means that fascists can use legal methods in a democracy to accrue enough power to themselves to CONTROL EVERY FREAKIN' THING.

I personally adore Arianna. But this is absolutely no time to let Republicans make these kinds of inroads in your state. Arnold would be a complete puppet for the Bush Cabal. Complete and total.

Did you know that 4 days before Arnold announced his candidacy that the Washington Times printed a story saying how the Bush/Cheney team thought they could take BOTH CA and NY? THAT, my dear, was the backstory for stealing the 2004 Election, starting with all those luscious electoral votes CA has to offer.

WAKE UP! Get Arianna to run the next "real" election. In the meantime, do everything in your power to thwart this end run around democracy, or you'll live to regret it and it won't take that long.
