Arnold Schwarzenegger betrayed the GLBT Community and tarnished his legacy by vetoing marriage legislation. I would love if he were defeated in his bid for reelection. So, forgive me for not getting excited that there is a drive underway to recall the governor. Dr. Kenneth Matsumura has a bone to pick with Arnie because he believes he isn't doing enough to help the poor. Well, duh, he's a Republican.

Californians need to reform their recall process and stop making a mockery of democracy. We have things in America called elections. If the person you don't like wins, tough. You must live with him or her until the next election. At that point, the voters get to decide if they would like to make a change. There are rare exceptions to this rule, such as high crimes that undermine the state.

But, it was tragically wrong to recall Gray Davis and it will be equally wrong to terminate the Terminator before the next election. What we are looking at here is a recipe for disaster where every special interest or disgruntled millionaire can overturn an election if they don't like the results. This will eventually lead to chaos and instability in the nation's largest state. Enough is enough!

That's true Wayne. Look at the crazy election systems they have in the UK and Germany. They always seem to be in disaray. Though it would be nice if we could recall the village idiot and send him back to 'clearing brush' permanately.

You guys are a bunch of hypocrites. Lousy, brash, thick-headed hypocrites.

You talk about how when "something happens that you don't like, well tough, live with it", and then you start talking about petitions and all that nonsense to get your own way.

Hypocrites.
