Gosh, I almost always agree with you. Not here. I think you are dead-assed wrong. We need MORE recall elections. It's our only hope. An issue to galvanize "the people" is a Godsend.
Red herrings are a tool used by those who want to manipulate the masses. I am of the opinion that if someone does something that is opposed, then kick them out the next election and undo whatever harm one perceives they did. Sometimes leadership involves making very unpopular decisions because that is the best thing to do. This discourages thoughtful policies and encourages feel good policies. There have been plenty of politicians that have done things I absolutely opposed, but I wouldn't have ever supported a recall election for a single one of them.
