Issa urges "no" on recall

[mw]

Issa must've gotten a visit last night from the ghosts of patriots past, present, and future:



Tuesday, September 23, 2003 (SF Chronicle)
Issa, money man of recall, now tells voters to reject it/Risk of GOP vote being split prompts call to retain Davis
John Wildermuth, Chronicle Political Writer


The GOP congressman whose money put the recall on the ballot urged Republicans Monday to keep Democratic Gov. Gray Davis in office if neither Arnold Schwarzenegger nor Tom McClintock pulls out of the race by election day.

1. Maybe he thinks he'll get a refund on his money

if the recall fails.

2. LOL

!

11. He'll probably get sued

for the amount of money he's costing the state. I'm sure that whoever runs against him will use this to throw him out next election.

3. Sore loser?

Oh wait, this guy is just a loser all around.

[CatWoman]

7. ut, ut, ut

that's Sore LOSERman :D

[cprise]

4. His precious GOP is more important than California's well-being

Didn't he start a movement that claimed California was being harmed by Davis' leadership?

Enough to annul his democratic election to office?

UNBELIEVABLE!

Well, we can see where his priorities are.

JESUS F------ C-----

5. Maybe someone stole his car

and he needs to get it back.

6. wonder if he's going to try and set up another recall of Davis

this is just odd, even by Repuke standards

[bahrbearian]

8. Couldn't get McClintock too back out

He so wanted to Party with Gangbang in the Govs Mansion.

[Democat]

9. No on "Mexicans" is what he probably means

His worst right wing nightmare is probably that Cruz wins.

10. I think you are correct. n/t

12. Absolutely!

They're very afraid that soon we'll ALL be speaking Spanish per the orders of Presidente Bustamante and his friend Vicente Fox!

[stimbox]

13. He owes the California taxpayers a refund...

So this wingnut's actions have cost us California taxpayers how much dough? I read somewhere like $67 million dollars!!!!

I think we should sue his ass for the cost of the election.

I hope the people of Vista vote his sorry ass out of office next term and elect a Democrat.


edit: to add dollar amount.

14. And he's SOOOOOO influential now, isn't he

Another used kleenex, cast aside. Achoo, sez Karl. Well, a deserving one this time, at least.

So, isn't it interesting though--despite all that wonderful free publicity thanks to his celeb status, Arnie is still running behind. Wonder how closely that tracks with the glide-path Rove had in mind for this contrived election.

Gonna have to work them Diebold machines extra hard this fall, huh Karl? Start printing up them memory cards.

Anybody know if there's going to be exit polling in this election? I'm anticipating a "stunning" upset.
