OK, given that, I pose the following question, If you knew two years ago how badly Arnold was going to do and could go back to the recall which would it be:
Three years of a disabled Davis averaging his usual 6% annual spending growth, fighting for tax increases against the Republicans in the legislature,
OR
Eight years of Arnold, an average 9% increase in spending with no Republican resistance, and a 40% increase in bond debt?
Let's hear it.
not to mention rescinding drivers license for illegal immigrants, which has saved more money than all the other arguable decisions combined thus far...
Carrie, your guy lost. He couldn't win and neither you or I can or could do anything about it. The Republican leadership pushed a popular figure forward and there's nothing we couldn't do about that either. Non Republican vote is something we couldn't be certain about how much would fall in Schwarzenegger's direction, vs Cruz Bustamante's.
My choices were to vote for Tom McClintock, Cruz Bustamante or Arnold Schwarzenegger. I did not want Cruz in there, and I voted for Schwarzenegger. I'd do the same damned thing if the vote were today, and I was presented with the same damn choices. We've been through this before and you're never happy with what my answer is. You never will be. Frankly, I don't care.
It would have been nice if Tom could have won. That wasn't and still isn't a reality based pipe dream.
