As a native Calif. I can not even answer this question
at this time!! Oregon/CO sure looks mighty pretty!!
I am not even shure if I will be able
to sift through all the names on the recall ballot.
Ummm! prostitute, or???
Richard, did I hear this right?
By the time this recall will be over, it will cost
the CA tax payers
around 70 million dollars? :mad:
Yeah, I wonder if the people who signed the petitions realized how much further in debt this was going to put the state.
Whoever gets in is not going to have a good ride. They won't have enough time to affect any real change and will most likely get dumped on in a similar fashion.
If leaders can get ousted out of office before their term for bad economic leadership, why is Bush still around? :rolleyes:
Strange News - AP
Game Show Network to Spoof Calif. Recall
Mon Aug 11, 7:39 PM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo!
LOS ANGELES - The Game Show Network has found a reason to get into politics: the California recall, which will be spoofed in an October special.
"Who Wants to Be Governor of California? The Debating Game" will include a political debate produced in the style of a game show, the channel announced Monday.
"Politics is the ultimate game and the California recall election is one of the most bizarre contests in American history," Rich Cronin, president of the channel, said in a statement.
The channel said it is lining up five candidates to take part in the Oct. 1 program. The show will chronicle their campaigns and include a "wide-ranging" debate, including buzz-in answers and bonus questions, the channel said.
Officials say 195 people have submitted papers to run to replace Democratic Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites), whose approval ratings have fallen to record lows.
The five will compete for a prize of $21,200, the maximum corporate campaign contribution allowed by California law, the channel said. The prize will go to the candidate in the group who receives the most votes in the Oct. 7 recall election.
"If the winning candidate/contestant is actually elected governor, Game Show Network promises not to ask for any political favors in exchange for the money," the channel said.

Bingo! Did CA forget that Gov. Davis has only been
in office for approx. 11 months, and he inherited
many of these problems from our last Governor Pete.
Who do you think was hand in hand with the energy/gas companies the first place?
I am not a Gov. Davis fan, and I am not saying Gov. Davis
did not make mistakes, but HEY! when you are black-mailed by
the energy company's, or no electricity for the public,
I would say your back is to the wall.
When Davis, seeks help from the Federal Gov. and they
turned their back on us, and we had to bank our own
law suit, and we WON, still the Fed. Government
did not help us. So lets not put all the blame on
Gov. Davis to warrent this history in the making
game show recall.
And whomever wins the recall, I do not envy them
for taking over this CA. mess.
BUSH IS STILL OUR PRESIDENT??? :eek:
seeing that the dems can't get their own house in order why should they challenge the white house?
I'm sure the party could pony up the money for a recall, but why spend all the SIG money they get?
as a registered Dem I really dont see the party extending themselves to do anything positive for the country...but then again maybe some 'oral persuasion' is in order.
something along the lines of..."The Dem party has decided to fund a recall effort against GW...."
70 million versus 38 billion???
a spit in the bucket..
aren't all politicians prostitutes?
what's the difference between a politico and a prostitute??
nothing, they both screw people for money.
the only person I believe (politics aside) is the porn star......she admits to making money by, well, you know......
lol
this will not be a trend anywhere soon.....
first, it's a financially intensive process-people will not be keen on millionaires buying an office on a whim. How many people have the money to actually start the process and once the door opens
you will have 10 jillion people running on your dime.......look at what Ralph Nader and Ross Perot
accomplished----nothing....
my suggestion??? succeed from the United States,
charge an entrance fee to come into the state.....50 cents...and put up signs saying, "YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO ENTER THE STATE". Raise the prices at disneyland, make the film industry our main export, charge more for movie tickets.
elect Arnold as president of California, Clint Eastwood as vice pres....Steven Segal as Sec of Defense......tough guys....that's the ticket.
and I thought "Californication" was just a song by the RedHotChiliPeppers :rolleyes:

where do you think they got the idea for the song? ;)
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication
:D :D :D :D :D :D
Seems to me that since good ole Darrell funded this thing, he outta $ee it thru!!!

p.s. stay tuned-the best is yet to come!!!

I had dinner with my eldest sister on Friday.
We got to talking about the recall and she
comments. "I am voting for Arnold"
I looked at her and said why?
"He hasn't come out, and said what his plans are
and what/how he will fix CA."
She replied. "Oh yes he has"
I said really? "I must have missed it on all the news
channels?" :eek:
I still do not agree with this recall,
and I will wait for the debates etc. to come
before making a decision.
It must be nice to be a popular movie star! :cool:

K,
when Arianna and Ahrnold debate do you think they will need subtitles??
i was talking to my mom and asked her about Arianna's latest
new briefings........Mom was of no help at all,
she couldn't keep up with the accent.
:confused:

You'd get my vote!!
But I don't think you qualify - intelligence is usually a disqualifier for any political office.:p
1. Indiana begins with a vowel.....what's your point? lol Hmmmm...should I really have asked that question? ;) :p
2. I have about as much faith in Arnold as I did Ronnie baby. Ugh! Mike and I argue all the time. I think Reagan was one of the WORST presidents in modern history and Mike likes him.
3. I have to wonder how many people will just vote for him because he's an actor and how many will actually vote for him because they agree with his politics...scary thought!
4. Why is it that our Founding Fathers didn't make it mandatory that governors be born a U.S. citizen?
A wild guess. Wonder if putting that requirement IN would have prevented some of THEM from being Governor?

2) what does mike think about his acting??
what do YOU think about his acting??
3) it would be kinda awkward thanking the
"academy" on inauguration day!!!!! i hope we are
smarter than that...
4) to get even with states that won't go along with the program??:D
As my husband and I were strengthening the US economy by shopping at garage sales, he overheard on the radio a mention of Arnie and his advisor, Buffett.
He asked me, in all sincerety, "isn't he a musician?"
:D :D :D

what is the Rob Lowe appointment all about??
The Rob Lowe appointment?? to ABC?
Alcohol and Beverage Control???lolololololQuote:

Ahrnold has pegged him to be somekind of
public relations person....for sure that made me:rolleyes:......
it just goes to show you that ANYONE can go have a tussle with the law and still keep in good stead with a political party...
just hope he remembers to turn the camera off this time!
:eek:
Rob Lowe as press manager. That's hilarious. As if his stint on the West Wing would qualify him for that.
"I'm not a public relations manager, but I do play one on TV..."
:rolleyes:
go figure. Instead of watching CNN or FOX, I'll keep up with campaign news by watching Entertainment Tonight and the E! network.
Good thing Arnie is already married or we might have to put up with Anna Nichole:eek:

lololol, what an ecletic mix!
actually, i kinda like the thought of this recall.
i like the thought that people, who usually just want to talk about soap operas and reality shows
are talking about this. I heard someone say that
it's a great civics lesson!
it is a popularity contest and maybe, just maybe people will pay attention to who's running and what their platforms are......

You are assuming, of course, that the candidates have a platform other than "vote for me 'cause it would be like, really, cool, like to be the guv of cali".
Come on, Richard, confess! You're really going to vote for that large breasted woman who drives the pink corvette, right?? :D
In one of today's comic strips a guy is sitting in his chair reading the paper and says "with that adult film star Mary Carey in the CA race along with Larry Flynt, the porn vote is going to be split" Then he sits for a minute and then says "just think how excited the Iraquis must be to know they'll be inheriting a democracy like ours". nuff said.
does she really have large breasts?????:confused:Quote:
