Repugs Acting Like the Aggrieved Party
Someone on CNN's Inside Politics just said that the recall court decision was politically motivated.

Faux had a guy on, Dan Schnurr, a wingnut strategist, who stated, with venom dripping from his lips, "This is is revenge for Bush-Gore 2000."

Maxine Waters said she hopes the case goes to the Supreme Court. Then they'd have to reconcile their decision with Bush vs Gore on Equal Protection.

And why is Judy Woodruff looking so peeved this afternoon?

1. Judy

This story is paydirt for the news networks. They're positively giddy.

3. Repukes
are methodically, with spite for democracy trying to destroy the election process because they know that they are no longer in a majority. They want a banana republic.


They want a recall? How about recalling that fascist chimp that stole the 2000 election. It wouldn't be revenge it would justice.

4. The Republicans are on a self destructive course
because "you can't fool all of the people all of the time" and people are getting wise to their tactics,"Tails I win heads you loose" Sane people are waking up, only the hateful venemous crowd still spouting.

6. and that reminds me
wasn't there something in the news a few weeks back about conservative businessmen who opposed the recall. They feared it would do great harm to democracy.

5. You should have heard Rush!! He was popping a gasket!
I loved it. Caught a little of him on the way to the store. He launched into a deal where he was justifying the 2000 SOTU Gore/Bush decision, and then launching on the 9th Circuit! He is SOOOOOO full of shit!! These Repukes sure can dish it out, but cry like little pussy-wussies when THEY take a hit. Fascist bastards!

:grr:

8. Never ceases to amaze me
How can somebody demand a recall of Davis and not apply the same logic to Gore/Bush 2000 without it being blatant partisan spite????

There is actually a recall Bush petition floating around.

I really hope this backfires on those fascist bastards when the issue is broadened to (re)call the 2000 election back into question.

7. Entertainment Value
This recall is at least good for that. It's not right that about 60% of the polling places weren't going to open, and the ones that would, would be using unfit equipment. Good job by the court for at minimum pissing off the clowns on the other side. :+
