Well, Dwight, you can nominate Larry if you like! It's a free group,
and this little bit of fun is open to anyone. Do you want to nominate him?

Besides, we have all NCT's nominated already, so some others need
nominated.

Brian, we intend to have the debates *after* the nominations are
closed. Do you have a nomination? We have to try to keep up with California.

Have you noticed even the press has had a hard time keeping a straight
face when talking about the California recall vote? First, we have a midget
who insists he's the protest vote. Then, we have oversized guy who still
can't say his name properly after living in the country for decades. And
then we have a cross-dresser certain to bring a new sense of fashion
consciousness to the job. And we can go on and on. This is turning out to be
one of the wackiest elections I've ever seen.

This is something no one wins. First we have a power grab by the
Repub's who have figured out that in any election, it will be possible
to get enough names on a petition to force a recall. I hope they realize
they opend a Pandora's box, and for what? Governing a state that they
were partially involved in making a major mess?
They are so desperate to get someone in office, that they are trying to
elect a Republican who is more like a Democrat than anything else.

The Dems, instead of fielding a smart team in case the recalll comes,
have put together a list of clowns that are a true embarassment to
democracy, leaving the one serious contender with the election plan from
hell, that is to vote for no recall, but vote for me in case there is.


To think that the next Gov. there might be elected with only a few
percent of the vote.

Makes me proud I'm a registered Independent.


I wonder if there is going to be a recall on the governer elected in
the recall vote... if there is a recall....

Dwight:

As it happens, Ahnold Schwartzenegger may be the best choice to be
the next Governor of Cally-Forney-Ah. While he does espouse some
political idealogy more in line with liberals than most Republicans would
care for, he doesn't see the answer to everything to be raising taxes and
expanding government. All the "whacky" candidates are on the ballot
simply to grab their 15 minutes; Ahnold (that's MISTER Schwartzenegger
to you) actually has a good chance of being elected if Gov. Davis is,
in fact, recalled.

Don't look now, but this ENTIRE newsgroup is a place where the code/no-code
debate is on-topic, all day, 24/7/365. In each and every thread created,
there can, and most likely will, be content related to the code test debate.
BTW, I have no problem with the fact that there are people who oppose
my position on code testing. What I do have a problem with are people like
you who obviously can't handle any kind of disagreement, and want to get
people like me to shut up so you can exist in a totally uncomplicated,
unchallenged environment. If you don't like it, you know what to do, and
watch out for that door!

The special election in regards to recalling the Governor of the state of
California has nothing whatsoever to do with amateur radio.

If you are not a registered voter in California, then you have no cause to
carry on as if you were nor have you any authority whatsoever on
California politics.

One of the accepted candidates for the ballot in the special election in
California is a Grass Valley resident, Jim Weir. Jim Weir has posted
in here a few times. Ask him if his candidacy has anything to do with
amateur radio policy.

Since when is that a major concern? Read back over this newsgroup. During
the last presidential election, several thousand messages were posted on
that subject alone. In fact, just about every major event happening in the
world recently has been discussed in this newsgroup at some point (and more
than a few minor events). The California recall vote is certainly not going
to be an exception to that.

Nonsense. What happens in this country, anywhere in this country, is of
interest to any American. What happens in California, or any other state,
has an impact on the rest of the nation. So, while it is true those outside
the state don't vote in California, that clearly doesn't prevent them from
commenting on the subject.

Why does that not surprise me one little bit, Larry? Arnold seems to fit
right into your concepts of conservatism - liberal on most issues with
enough conservative rhetoric to make him the least objectionable candidate.
If conservatives aren't willing to vote conservative, no wonder conservative
issues are slowly losing ground in this country.

Tell it to Steve. He was the one complained about that, not me.

First, there isn't any real disagreement - only your endless rhetoric
about a subject (code testing) that is quickly dying. Second, I have no
problems with a simple disagreement, just a problem with those who don't
know how to disagree in a civilized manner. You, Larry, either never knew
how to disagree in a civilized manner or have lost sight of that ability.
