Personalities don't matter. Public relations are poison. Arnold is a Trojan Horse. What is crucial is understand how the process of governance is being destroyed by the fascist elements that put up celebrities who scoff at issues. That is the destruction of democracy. The little Viennese brat-worst is just a clever weiner who can figure out how he can get ahead. He has 1,000% less interest in honesty and fairness than does Warren Buffett who clearly stated your case about Prop. 13 and was soundly chastised by Schwarzenegger for being honest. The fact of the matter is that this recall, exactly as the redistricting in Texas, is a naked power grab by Fascist elements of our political power structure that must be resisted by all willing and able believers in America. What Schwarzenegger, DeLay, Rove and Bush want to do is to destroy America. They want to revert to a more childish version of human governance. They want to destroy the advances of the Enlightenment of the 18th Century and replace this wonderful advance with a retrograde 13th Century vision of social Darwinism, nepotism and superstition. They want the guy shooting the most steroids to win. The guy with the most lies, the most deceptive appoach, the most PR presentation. In short, they want deception to win. As someone who works in an industry where basic science (always truthful when it works) has been put in the employ of basically dishonest managers, accountants, lawyers and lobbyists, you certainly know what I'm talking about. It is only when America rejects the lies and gets back to basic scientific and logical truths that we are great as a nation. The truth in California is the George Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger supported and furthered a criminal operation. Ken Lay and Enron were both aided by Bush and the Bicep. This makes Arnold dirty. What needs to happen in California is for this travesty of democracy to be stopped in its tracks. The recall is insane. Those who support it are stupid, at best, and malevolent when activists. Democracy demands that the recall be stopped. Dead in its tracks. The real guilty party for California's huge deficits is George Bush's handlers. Bush is a puppet. A figurehead. But he has made possible the malevolent and despicable greed of Ken Lay, Pug Winokur, Oil Slick Dick and the Halliburton, WCOM, Arthur Andersen and many other bribers to the Bush/Orwell 1984 Committee.
