10. I support the recall
and am only willing to listen to those who can admit a Democrat can screw up.

Jacques Chirac won with 83%, Grey Davis with 44% (a 5% margin). Where's your comparison? 25% of California Dems are for the recall and it has nothing to do with right-wing propaganda--it has to do with our governor running the state into the ground.

I don't give a damn who started it. The recall can only help Democrats here and nationwide as well. Are you aware many Republicans are now against the recall? Check this thread:

In CA we happen to have a law that allows us to remove the governor for basically whatever reason we want. Ya don't like it? Then change it, but that's the way it is. That said, are you prepared to tell me why Davis deserves to be governor? I mean specifics, not that he was elected, which is a done deal. Are you prepared to tell me what in the hell would prevent it from becoming a landslide for Bustamante--a responsible, respected, minority voice? If so, I'm all ears. If you're going to spout on about fascism blah blah blah you're just another idealogue who doesn't live here and you don't know what you're talking about.
