1. Sue God for the increased numbers of natural disasters?
First thing, let Arnold become a family man again. If the media shows him as being good in terms of reprimanding his kinds, let the people give him more family time. Look at how he handles the issues and not his family; the two are separable and Arnold's a puppet.

3. Way to give advice!!
Vote FOR the DEM issues, such as lower prescription drug costs and re-regulating the energy companies. IMHO, that's how we got into this budget mess, NOT because of firefighters, policemen and women, teachers and correctional officers with FAT CAT paychecks and pensions. PULEASE!!! Give me a F-- break!

4. Defeat Arnold
Arnold is completely making me sick. I hate him more than Bush!

In this 6/15/05 Article in SF Chronicle, He's telling old people that Dems want to abolish prop 13. Simply amazing. Brings back bad memories of Swift Boat Losers. You just know he got this crap from Rove, The Dems better be prepared to get down and dirty!!!

5. Vote Against anything that IDIOT Arnie wants - he's a halfwit
working in the biz here, everyone knows that Arnie suffers from delusions of political grandeur - he believes he is a Kennedy, out to "save the world" - Field Marshall Maria is letting him 'spin his wheels' and wear himself out.

9. I'm wondering if we should protest this election.
I mean old fashioned sit in type protests, maybe in the SOS office.
