2. I doubt it. Ryan never did anything for Bush. |
|
He pissed off the RW when he commuted all those death sentences, and there just isn't a lot of love for the guy coming from anywhere.

3. Ryan isn't Christian enough to enjoy the death penalty as much as bush. |

4. Well, I'm Asking For An Inverse Pardon For Thompson |

He was just as crooked as Ryan. He just didn't get caught. Lest we forget, the $1 billion missing from the Tollway Authority happened under his watch. I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'. The Professor

i know that blaggo is an all time crazy governor. but trying to change the law to recall HIM, makes my head explode. (especially since my distant and not that well informed opinion is that he is cutting of some of the old line leaches and crooks, and substituting his own. that always pisses them off.) no way i want to see the kind of circus that they had in california. and no way i want to see them change the state constitution, really just to put some toady in the seat.
i do hear there are some serious talk about impeachment.
