Since I live way out in Boston, I have no idea who this Senator is. However, I felt bad for people in California before I read that letter. Now, I must admit that I fear for them.

My favorite line was the "lying liberal media." Mr. Senator, you're soooooo behind. Don't you know that the conservatives claimed the media about a year ago, and reign high on the shoulders of fox news, msnbc and the suddenly right wing, CNN.

Additionally, the entire world knows how much the Republicans love impeachment these days. The stability of democracy requires that the elected office be respected, or powerless leaders will necessarily emerge. How much executive authority could an elected representative or executive have, if he or she can get thrown out simply for voting their conscience, being suddenly disliked or presiding over bad times?

I would also like to remind the Senator that the former President Bush also lied about raising taxes. He did so, however, out of necessity. While he may have made some awful decisions while in office, the man at least had the brains to realize and balls to admit that the "Reaganomics" fiscal system failed and had to be undone. It then cost him the following election, but not the remainder of his time in office and rightfully so. Ironically, those tax increases raised the revenue the feds recieved, allowed for spending packages to inspire the economy, specifically towards the tech industry, which lead to the largest boom in our nations history. Funny how that works.

Also, since the Senator asks for money and associates himself with Alan Keyes, the most perpetually failed political candidate since Adalai Stephenson, I'm surprised that Calafornia didn't resist the recall out of principle. Everyone knows that when Alan Keyes asks you for money, something bad must be happening and some poor baby seal must be getting clubbed somewhere.

Lastly, why do the people of California insist on voting for Arnold? Is it because it's funny? I feel like Jesse Ventura won in Minesota because the plethora of candidate split the real vote, and the "joke" vote ended up meaning something. Of course, Jesse Ventura, while obviously a joke, also had some sense of political independence and intelligence. Arnold, like the last actor to govern California, is just a pawn of the frightenly corrupt Republican party.

Also, the democrats are cowards and liars. None of this would happen if the WEAK democratic party worked up some nerve to take a stand, distance itself from corruption, run a few decent people and insist on being called "liberal" because somehow, liberal is a bad word. Instead, the democrats should proudly defend their liberal tendencies and show the people all the positives liberal policy creates. Maybe even make Conservative a bad word.

Alas, I digress. I appologize for my rant, but that post made me very angry. I think my friend is crying because of the baby seal getting clubbed. I told her I would take the skin of the seal and use it to line the interior of my new Escalade, which runs on whale oil and is lined on the outside by the furs of minks and devils.

right.

Welcome to FRee Republic Matty7Guns. Rather a unique name, isn't it? You sound like a very young, idealist person. I hope that you are one of the people who can look at a problem from both sides and form a coherent and logical conclusion by realizing that both sides are neither 100% right or 100% wrong. Yes, it was an excellent rant and one that will get your questions answered.

Did you read the postings to that article? If so, you would have found some of your questions already answered.

I'm not sure that I could answer all of the questions/allegations that you have posed from the Senator Montjoy email, but I'm sure that you will find them either already answered or willing to be answered by Californians, the people that are directly effected by all of this.
