Reply #36: Davis is not sleazy, he is just plain incompetent [View All]

and he will be recalled on Tuesday.

Now, these are the choices we have today (since Davis is obviously not going to stepdown in favor of Bustamante):

1. We can continue playing the sleazy politics that the GOP made infamous during the Clinton sex scandals, and lose the election to Wilson's puppet, or

2. We can go back to the issues and attack Arnold for what he is, a front man for the corporate moguls, as described by Greg Palast in an story posted by FloridaPat in GD:

ARNOLD UNPLUGGED - IT'S HASTA LA VISTA TO $9 BILLION IF THE GOVERNATOR IS SELECTED
Friday Oct 3, 2003

It's not what Arnold Schwarzenegger did to the girls a decade back that should raise an eyebrow. According to a series of memoranda our office obtained today, it's his dalliance with the boys in a hotel room just two years ago that's the real scandal.

The wannabe governor has yet to deny that on May 17, 2001, at the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles, he had consensual political intercourse with Enron chieftain Kenneth Lay. Also frolicking with Arnold and Ken was convicted stock swindler Mike Milken.

Now, thirty-four pages of internal Enron memoranda have just come through this reporter's fax machine tell all about the tryst between Maria's husband and the corporate con men. It turns out that Schwarzenegger knowingly joined the hush-hush encounter as part of a campaign to sabotage a Davis-Bustamante plan to make Enron and other power pirates then ravaging California pay back the $9 billion in illicit profits they carried off.

Here's the story Arnold doesn't want you to hear. The biggest single threat to Ken Lay and the electricity lords is a private lawsuit filed last year under California's unique Civil Code provision 17200, the "Unfair Business Practices Act." This litigation, heading to trial now in Los Angeles, would make the power companies return the $9 billion they filched from California electricity and gas customers.

It takes real cojones to bring such a suit. Who's the plaintiff taking on the bad guys? Cruz Bustamante, Lieutenant Governor and reluctant leading candidate against Schwarzenegger.
