I happen to be pro-choice and wouldn't vote against him for that.  Looking
over his positions. I'm pretty luke warm to him.
I'm completly against a recall since it's a waste of money. I think we can
learn from California in that case.  Especially with the Enron not having
to pay as much money back after Arnold getting elected.

Not a valid reason IMO.  I'm a believer of seperation of church & state.

Being afraid of people advocating or even displaying homosexuality can be
considered homophobia.  Obviously we disagree on the concepts of rights
and freedoms in several areas.

In your case, persecution is partially your perception.  Yes, you were
flamed.  I consider persecution being more severe than suffering some
insults on a mailing list.

Speedy responses aren't nessasary.  I would suggest taking some time to
cool down before responding to real or perceived attacks.  Or just ignore
them which is often the most effective.
