Nothing succeeds like success. But maybe people are watching more closely than they did in 2004. Thankfully, Mike Rhodes was.

Well after the last 6 years of the Dub's debacle of a presidency they probably figure the only new registraints they can get would have to be stoned.

The most obvious sign of fraud would be if California started voting Republican. :D

What scam?

They ask if they want to re-register.

They are not saying that you can not fill out the petition for item #1 unless you agree to item #2.

Paragraph 3, sentance #2: She confirmed that there is no ballot initiative to legalize marijuana.

There is NO Petition - it's a mechanism to sign up and register voters . . or change their party affiliation to Republican

OK, maybe it's a good thing. If a large number of voters register Republican, then vote otherwise, the effect would be like deflating or depreciating the party.

Yeah right, like those stoner's would ever bother to vote in the first place except to legalize Pot or to mandate that all fast food restaurants stay open 24 hours a day.

That was over twenty years ago. The demographics have changed.

As for Arnold, that was a unique recall election. You can expect him to be voted out this fall, especially considering how unpopular he is.

I do hope you don?t intend to say California is a swing state.

Actually, Schwarzenegger is making a comeback . . . by getting as far away as possible from GWB.

You apparently have no problem with your party perpetuating fraud as a means of signing up voters.
I do have a problem with the concept of lying, cheating, and fradulent misrepresentation as a means of political activity.

Nah. The democrats were the ones that came up with paying the homeless a pack of smokes per democrat vote.

Not sure if Texas or California are the wackiests States---its a close race---as each vies for the most wacked out State.
Texas's claim to fame has always been corruption and backroom deals---and can proudly claim LBJ, GWB, Halliburton,
and Tom Delay as its shining moments---somewhat lost in time is Pappy Donaldson.

But California can always counter with image over substance---only a Richard Nixon could invent the hollow pumpkin conspiracy, and watergate as a symbol of waterloo.-----and then there was the ever self-delusional Ronald Reagan---who some how convinced himself defecit spending was fiscal conservatism---or that Iran contra was something other than trading arms for hostiges. But California was always a sucker for a movie star---and the ever duplicitous Arnie's most famious line is that 'I will be back."---somehow I will just consider it a small respite if the voters throw him out---we can all worry about preventing him from ever coming back later.---first things first.

But something wonderful is happening this year----the American voter is at last seemingly coming to their senses---as a new wave of throw the rascals out seems to sweeping the entire country.---and if Iraq blows up on us---those pro war panderers
in the Senate----can follow Smoked Joe Lieberman into the rascals has been hall of shame.

And then it will be but a footnote in history as they are ineveitably asked----you believed GWB's war hype-----what were you smoking?

Agreed. what proof does the article offer that they are employees of the Republican Party? (That would be none). All the article says is that she said she'd get 10 cents more or whatever for a registration. She didn't say, at least not even according to what the author has said, "I work for the Republicans" or "I get 10 cents for bringing people to our/my party." I also love how the only thing the guy posts picture wise is obscure photographs. A photo of a booth trying to get people to register/sign... this matters because why? We are to not believe him that this exists? Maybe he hasn't walked into a best buy or something where people always hassle you for signatures come election time. Secondly, he posts a photo of the proposition. All it consists of are a few famous founders in favor of pot. Nowhere on there does he show anything to validate his claim that it isn't a petition, or that it is for that matter. Not only that, how stupid would you have to be, especially from a guy who obviously considers himself a "people's journalist," to sign something you have never read. You would have to be kidding me if this loser got a hold of that and then saw a bunch of quotes and then said gee, let me sign this. But amazingly he does! At least according to his own evidence. All this is a way to stir the pot and try and tarnish people, and fire up other die hard believers in search of a Republican conspiracy.

Maybe you should learn to read, and to comprehend what is written.

End of Paragraph 2, followed by almost ALL of paragraph 3:

She also tells me that she is working for the Republican party,
being paid hourly, and that the ploy about the "10 cent bonus" was not accurate.

This Republican party employee goes on to tell me that she is there to attract people
to the table that is set up in Fresno?s Courthouse Park,
and that the legalize marijuana petition is just a prop.
She confirmed that there is no ballot initiative to legalize marijuana.
She said that the petition will be given to an elected official in Sacramento.

Petition can become a ballot initiative.

That is how they get on the ballots from the public's action.
