I'll say what I said about that company again: Who in their right mind would want to give their name, address, and signature to 7 thieves, 2 forgers, and a stalker? Honestly, the sex offenders strike me as the safest of the bunch.

A really sad state of affairs. 1) The state Dem. Party is a patronage machine, controlled by cronies of Neil Goldschmidt (who's just lurking in the shadows, trying to time his re-emergence into public life), and 2) the only marginally viable opposition to this machine is a bunch of fraudulent, right wing nutjobs.

So, if you have legitimate issues with a machine pol (say, Sam Adams), your allies will discredit your cause in the eyes of progressives.

Let's just get it on the ballot and vote on it. If people like Sam, he'll be just fine.

Blabby - there have been no signs at all that the recall would have a snowflake's chance in hell of passing if it goes to the ballot. If it did, it wouldn't take two goes to get a few thousand signatures.

Given that reality - are you willing to waste tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of tax dollars running an election that's a foregone conclusion? Because I'm not.

Hmmm O'l Wursty hasn't been on here to defend any part of this. Is he too busy getting his degree in Bullshit?

Stu, I don't believe for a single second that you're concerned with the cost of the election. If this were some initiative you supported, you wouldn't give a rats ass about the cost. You don't think he should be recalled. Fine. But just say it. This "we'll waste money" crap is ridiculous.

If it was an initiative I supported, I would want it to be on the ballot at the same date as other elections that are happening anyway. Then the cost is minimal. Holding a special recall election is a gigantic waste of my (and your) money.

What are the odds Abusive_is_a_Pussy has the same IP address as Wurster?

We would never give out that kind of information.
