Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow, But the memories we share are there to borrow,
Vaya con Dios...
A Gray Dawn, indeed, of course one can't actually use the phrase "Vaya Con Dios" in public since God was driven from California along with common sense.
Appeals court blocks Oct. 7 recall election
09-15) 11:21 PDT -- A federal appeals court blocked California's Oct. 7 recall election Monday, throwing the fate of the unprecedented election into question.
The Ninth U.S. Court or Appeals ruled that the vote cannot take place because almost half of the votes will be cast on unreliable problematic punch-card machines. The decision was granted an immediate 7-day stay to give the losing sides to appeal.
That the raving loonies on the 9th Circuit would rule in favor of the ACLU is not shocking inof itself, Dems are no longer capable of winning an election at the ballot box or with ideas, they must resort to legal manuvuering, but that fellow Californians are eating the Clinton/Davis dog food is appalling.
Clinton on recall: 'Don't do this'
Ex-president joins governor in fighting GOP 'power grab'
Los Angeles -- Former President Bill Clinton, speaking at an African American church where Democrats have found comfort in the past, made his most forceful public indictment of the California recall Sunday, calling it a Republican power grab that goes beyond just the career of Gov. Gray Davis.
With his familiar raspy voice and a Southern twang made a little more prominent as he addressed parishioners, Clinton said the recall election is threatening to turn California into a laughingstock and a carnival.
Later, he told reporters the campaign to oust Davis isn't a right-wing "conspiracy" but an out-in-the-open attempt to "shred the Constitution."
I hope they acquire a taste for it, because that's what's for dinner once the recall is defeated. Californians holding real estate equity are about to receive a rude awakening as employers flee for friendlier business climes in the wake of Davis's latest health benefit mandate. That employers with fewer than 20 employees are exempt is often not reported. A loophole which will force illegals onto the Medi-Cal rolls in ever increasing numbers until a Federal bailout is required.
Another cynical move by ruthless, self-serving Pols and their media minions disguised as "fairness" and compassion for the Poor.
Oh, and the slight upwardtick in the economy that signalled the beginnings of a recovery next year?
Fuggetaboutit.
Amazing!
Why didn't the ACLU, and other plaintiffs in this case, feel the same way in the last 2 elections where Gray Davis, a Democrat, was heavily favored to win?
As a Democrat, I feel embarrassed by the double standard displayed by the plaintiffs in this case.
They only filed because Davis is in grave danger of having his Ass handed to him on a platter.
They care NOTHING for the voter.
