LA's new police chief shares Mahar's dislike of the recall. They've both spent too little time in California. Most Democrats, even those who plan to vote against the recall, understand that it's not merely a Republican thang but a grass roots groundswell.

You got that right.

Bill Maher is not a funny comedian. But your comments are even less humorous, and don't make his statements any less true. Good luck, California, you are going to need it.

Bill Maher has never been and never will be funny. Anyone who takes any of his comments to heart is not the brightest light bulb in the box...if you know what I mean!
If I were a Democrat I'd ask him to "shut the heck up! You're making all of us look bad!" (Not that the Republican politicians in office are any better!)
In fact, all this "PARTY" crap has to go if America is ever going to get a decent government in office!
The platform any politician runs on should be one of Fairness and Common Sense; which is the reason we are supporting and voting for Arnold Schwarzenegger for CA Govenor...and we are registered Libertarians (because we can't stand any of the other parties)!
