Rock the vote
In the comments here, there's been some discussion that Moveon.org may have overstepped the limits of their 'charter,' by buying ads that point out some of Ah-nold's past with women.
Should I take umbrage with their actions? On one hand, it is low. The kind of mud-slinging you'd normally expect from the other side. So, sure, they aren't so pure on this one.
But then I consider the bigger picture. What is happening to our democracy? The impeachment was partisan. The Florida vote counting fiasco was a pure power grab. Now, this recall - it completely undermines the democratic process. I don't care about the Democrats. I care about Democracy.
Frankly, I think MoveOn is doing the only thing they possibly can do, to stop this recall. And stopping the recall is good for democracy. Which is their charter.
Ah-nold is a big boy - he can take the heat. And he's got his millions to help dampen the pain.
But our democracy is entirely too fragile right now. And broke.
VOTE HELLA NO~
