Hello to all Democratic promoters!
Why is it that the Groper and McClintock managed to get 60% of the vote today?

Isn't that sweet!

Maybe that will give you a fuckin' clue as to why the rest of us don't follow your asses over the cliff.

4. 60% of fake votes
the election was decided by rigged voting machines, 90% of the people probably voted against arnold.

5. yet again
the only reason you have for this loss is shouting it was rigged, dont you know that this just puts us at a disadvantage when we try to persuade people to come over to our side.

2. The nature of the recall is that it attracts people who want to complain.
It attracts the haters. You have to have an extremely liberal region -- the bay area -- before you find that people are willing to come out to vote against the recall.

Also, the Republicans had more flavors on the ballot. However, the Democrats had to run either one or none, less the risk giving people too many Democratic flavors to pick from, thus reducing the no vote.

Also, giving people more Republicans to chose from draws out more Republican to vote for them. If you see a guy on the ballot you like, you're more like to come out to vote for them.

3. OK thanks, I was distressed.
I could not believe that 60% of the voters today voted Repub. Or did that many Dems take the soup?

4. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.
