I am very well aware of the energy crisis here, except that the people to
blaim are not just the Governor. How removing the governor from office,
while leaving Mr. Lay and his merry men scot free is going to
magically solve our problems is beyond me.

The signature gathering process was perverted beyond belief. I was stopped
a few times by people asking for signatures in at least two instances I
asked the people to explain me what was going on and they said they could
care less, they were getting paid per signature. LOL...

Well, somewhat... it is called impeachment I believe.

Again, the current economic climate and massive debt level from the
federal government have nothing to do with it right? I just do not
understand how removing a recently elected governor is going to make
things better... If Mr. Swatzewhatever cared so much, he had his chance to
run for governor in the elections a few months ago, but he was too busy
filming T3 I guess.

They were paid with private funds. Mr. Darrell Issa's to be exact, he
spent a fortune in the process. He ran smear adds in almost every radio
station. Saying how he had the solution, and then it turned out that he
doesn't want to run. So we are complaining about suits, but it seems to
be perfectly OK for one to totally screw things up and make things even
worse, rather than working to help, once things got too hot in the
kitchen Mr. Issa weaseled his way out of this mess he has left us with. I
have a problem with that as a matter of fact. Now we have to pay another
bunch of millions to get the circus in place....

I am just hoping for Larry Flynt to win, that would be poetic justice
right there, LOL!
