California Liberal: Electoral Accountability Is Akin To Terrorism
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in General/Misc.
The Speaker of the California Assembly made this shocking comment about talk radio in an interview to the Los Angeles Times:
How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature’s work?
The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: “You vote for revenue and your career is over.” I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.
Not only is it unfair that voters can express their intention of holding elected officials accountable at the voting both, it’s terrorism! Unbelievable.
