Since when is "debate" harrassment?  And haven't you ever heard of a
"boycott"?  I guess it's okay when only your side uses those kind of
tactics, like "impeachment".

Let me point out to you something else the site says:

"Do not attempt to provoke or get into a physical confrontation with
signature gatherers. We do not want you to be arrested."  And this
too..

"Approach potential signers and ask them if they know who is behind
the recall: remind them that it is a bunch of right-wing conservative
Republicans, like Darrell Issa and Bill Simon, who can't win an
election fairly; they are trying to overturn a legal and fairly
conducted election."

But then I forget, your side doesn't know what the words "fair",
"lawful" and "free speech" mean.

You wouldn't know what facts were if you got slapped with them.
 
> Can anyone tell one good thing Davis has done for California?

Right now he is balancing the budget, you may not like they way he is
doing it but it is getting done and he deserves credit for that. 
Which of your taxes have significantly increased under Davis?  The
huge hike in car registration fees I don't like but I'm not gonna be a
crybaby about it (even if your side fought so hard for deregulation of
the energy market in the first place).

Davis didn't create the deficit, that's the result of Enron & Co.
gouging and Smirk-o-nomics (you know, economic policy that just laughs
at working people).  But at least he has the guts to tackle it head on
instead of just shifting the entire burden to the poor, as Reagan and
Wilson were so fond of doing.
