Ann Richards says White House told Issa to stay out...

...of California Race.

Just on Larry King.

Larry tried to say that the WH was not involved and she said "they might not be on the front page but they an oar in this water."

She seems to say that the end result of Bush and his questionable war has scared Americans and made them angry.

Yesterday, on Meet the Press, they said that, just a few hours before dropping out, Issa distributed press releases entitled "Why Darrell Issa is Running for Governor of California." They were asking why the quick change of mind and Issa had no really believable answer.

when he bowed out after Ahnuld threw his hat in the ring. He was told to step down. It was orders from headquarters from the mastermind fiend... KKKarl himself.

and they probably paid him back all the money he spent on this bullshit recall~!

they used him and threw him away like a used tissue, and now he's mad? lol

These guys are cheap bastards. They just threatened him. He is too small of a fish to be worthy of a payoff.

I had heard that the WH called him and said we don't want you to run. They want somebody they feel can win. They need CA and its electoral votes. They need a gov. that will not question the use of diebold voting machines. Issa would not be able to win here, he lost to Boxer for the Senate, and the mud was already being slung at him from the time he announced he was finacing the recall and that he would be the next governor. Arnold is the one that they feel can take CA for them. If he wins I hope the Kennedys turn him into the most liberal person there is. Imagine Bush not able to get a plant in CA capitol.

I don't understand this? The "Kennedy's" are members of the ruling class as it is defined in the US. Other than Ted Kennedy I don't see much liberal activism on the part of the other Kennedy offspring and extended family.

I don't understand this fascination with things Kennedy. JFK was a moderate Democrat and not some wild eyed reformer.

would you consider that a liberal enterprise?

It doesn't matter, the Repigs have successfully turned them into the epitomy of the "Liberal Elite". Reality is irrelevant. They are masters of delusion and with tactics like these they have millions voting against their own best interests.

Bush ran promising that we would not do "nation building".
The war in Iraq: Americans are scared.

> Bush ran promising that we would not do "nation building".

He seems to have been telling the truth about that.

damned if aWol has built a thing. just keeps on destroying. the anti-midas touch.

The Bushies haven't built jack over there. Well, they've built up a lot of anger and resentment.

I mean after all Issa paid for this whole recall with his own stinking money. Not that I care if Issa gets his money, I just mean I can't believe this idiot who plops down all this money on his personal quest lets the WH and Arnold just pull the rug right out from under him. What a dope, what a repuke.

Sonia

maybe a few shares of Carlyse Group as icing on the cake.

and he'll be lucky to get ten cent on the dollar back. They're good at screwing folks like this nitwitt call Issa. And' man those tears were real
and my heart jumped with joy at the sight.

What kind of jobs don't need confirmation?

Come one, this the Repiglican Party we're talking about. The Party of Personal self-centeredness. They don't give a crap about this Issa guy so long as Haliburton, Exxon, G.E. etc get their puppet government.

He's lucky he didn't perish in an "accident".

If he doesn't keep his piehole shut...

But he's going to keep his piehole shut. He is a Bushevik Capo (or perhaps just a Button) and knows what the reward is for disloyalty.

Now at first I figured Issa was tearing up because he'd spent such a big chunk of change on what's turning out to be someone else's party. But then I realized that wasn't it at all. He was just thinking how much more money he's going to have to spend to replace that sheet set and mattress and that fancy duvet because of the mess from that decapitated horse head he found in his bed this morning.

That is so FUNNY and so TRUE!

:D

Karl Rove figured out the whole thing, including Issa's pay-off. If Issa gave an especially convincing historonic display when it came time for him to drop out he would be paid a bonus.

Ashcroft has been exploring ways to allow a non-US born citizen to become president. What do you think that is all about?

After Arnold gets the title "Governor," then we'll see Arnold replacing Cheney (heart-problem) on the 2004 ticket.

Then in four years, Vice-President Arnold, gets to be the GOP candidate for President, when he picks JEB as his VP running-mate.

Movie-star Arnold will be used by the Bush organization exactly the same way movie-star Ronald Reagan was used. Both brought Bush's the votes, and both don't mind much about what the Bush's are stealing.

Rove probably told Issa that he would get a bonus if he 'cried' in his drop out speech. It was probably outlined in the game-plan that Issa would get an extra million if he could generate real tears during the drop-out.

Voting for Nader goes nowhere.

but when is Larry going to have Bustamante on the show? Is he aware that Arnold's NOT the only one running?


rocknation

that anyone else but Schwarzenegger is running. They have Arnie blinders on. :puke:

Arnold was announced as "the frontrunner" by the media before there were even any polls out about it.

An object lesson in what we're up against!

Enron conspired from the beginning to overthrow CA by causing the energy crisis. Now the recall I'm sure was just phase 2. When will the Dems. have enough spine to accuse the Repukes of conspiracy, collusion and force RICO charges?

http://darkerxdarker.tripod.com/

You don't suppose that the recall election was put into gear because the California crisis did not overthrow Davis.

Could the Recall be plan B?

I would hate to see what plan C will be when the recall is denied.

"Uh, my name is MISTER Rove to YOU, crybaby...Whad'yamean 'what about my money'? look, kid, you don't understand how this thing works. You drop out, you get to LIVE. Unnerstand? Consider it a 'contribution to a better America'..."

"Better for WHO?"

"Y'know, you gotta lotta lip. Better for ME, wise guy...Now BLOW!"

Love to see the look on Issa's face when Rove threw him away like a used condom...

They who sleep with pigs get dirty.

(I can't remember the original saying, which is undoubtedly more pithy)

that's why Issa was bawling, he was told to get out "or else" they would punish him somehow.

It's not like it leaves a clear field.

Georgy's still in the race!

My 20 year old son sent a contribution...

California better bear down and fight back!!!

Davis is not at issue here.

Bush is!!!!!........A Dictator wants Total CONTROL!!!!!

Bear Down California!!!

He will need something,

Poor Darrell, all dressed up and nowhere to go.

This is just part of them setting the ground work to steal the 2004 election. The Texas Re-Redisctring is also part of this. We are a Repiglican, Conservative country whether we want to be one or not.

Ashcroft is researching ways to allow non-US born citizens to become President.

Once Ashcroft and Rove figure out how to 'deregulate' the Constition on this 'foreign-born' presidental restriction, Arnold will be running with Dubya, in the 2004 VP slot.

Then Arnold will be running in 2008 for President with Jeb in the VP slot.

would make one think so. :(

don't Repugs have more dignity than to let the WH tell them what they can and can't do? Isn't that a core value American value?

I guess she hasn't wised up to his tricks. The Democratic Party has proof Bush was behind it.

Today in the Tacoma News Tribune there was an article that a former Microsoft exec had declined to run for governor. Seems he had been recruited by Karl Rove to run as a repug for our governor. When are people going to wise up and realize that bush and rove and extending their tenicles into state and even local government-or do they even care? There was also an article about controllers opposing bush's plan to privitize Boeing Field. Gosh what would these guys be up to if they DIDN'T believe in state's rights??
