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.... - Mike KB3EIA - |

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. LHA |

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. 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. 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. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |

(snip) Since when is that a major concern? There are plenty of OTHER newsgroups for political arguments, Dwight. Neither morse code nor amateur radio is on the special election concerning recall of the elected Governor of California. This newsgroup is about AMATEUR RADIO POLICY. Read back over this newsgroup. During the last presidential election, several thousand messages were posted on that subject alone. Oh, my, that makes it "right," does it? I don't think so... 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. "Dissed," not discussed, Dwight. There's been a whole lot of spleen-venting by a lot of ignorant keyboard rattlers concerning "world geopolitics," all done by those who don't have a good clue as to what they are about. 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. 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. Nonsense...to the easterners who never considered California as ever belonging to the union. :-) There's NO amateur radio in the special recall election in California. 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. I'm aware. :-) I'm also aware of the provincial bigotry of easterners and enviousness of the most populous state in the USA (about 1 in 8 Americans live here) and the fact that California's budget ranks 5th through 7th (depending on standards) of world NATIONS. Just the same, there is NOTHING about amateur radio in the special recall election in California. Nothing. Go bitch about something non-amateur elsewhere... LHA |

Political discussions are almost a tradition in this newsgroup, and your rants (about the "bigotry of easterners" and so on) certainly isn't going to change that.
