Don't we all find it womewhat odd that referendum votes like this are so threatening to the POLs?
What does that really tell us about the state of democracy in this so called democratic Republic?
I don't know the facts in the WI case, but I know here in Maine our Governor, a tea party candidate did NOT get 62% of the votes.
And his actions thus far have so embarrrased and annoyed the majority of Mainers that a very active group of vitizens is attempting to create a RECALL PROCESS so that he can be voted out of office.
One would think, in a democractic society, such power to the people would not be thought a threat.
I predict that if Maine gives the people the ability to vote to remove our current governor, he will be thrown out of office.
If, of course, such a process passes muster in the Maine Legislature.
That, I rather doubt, is going to happen.
