Fifty Reasons Not to Vote for Arnold

Alternet has posted a story called 50 Reasons not to vote for Arnold, which starts with:

1. He wouldn't vote for you � or anyone else.

This is how seriously Arnie takes his U.S. citizenship: By skipping nearly half of the elections since 1992, voting records show, he has avoided having to exercise his democratic right to take a stand on such issues as bilingual education, medical marijuana and tax increases for the wealthy. To add insult to injury, he skipped these last two issues (in the 1996 election) because he was promoting Jingle All the Way and Eraser, two of the worst films of that or any other year.

And ends with:

50. It'll be six months before we can recall him.

Apparently, them's the rules � no new recall effort until he's been in office for six months. But there'll be two bright spots � first, the number of signatures needed will be smaller even than the ridiculously paltry number needed to get the Davis recall on the ballot; second, we're sure Arnie will understand the need to hold him responsible for his own failures. What's that, champ? Now you think the recall rules are unfair? Now you think the state needs to be freed from the burden of a badly written, exorbitantly expensive and almost impossible to execute law written by a political opportunist almost a century ago? Too late, sucker! Coming soon: Total Recall 2!
