Schwarzenegger Calls Democrats 'Losers' Once 'Girlie Men,' Dems May Also Be 'Losers' In Governor's Mind
POSTED: 2:05 pm PST November 4, 2004 UPDATED: 2:26 pm PST November 4, 2004
LOS ANGELES -- Two days after the worst election defeat in decades for Democrats, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger referred to them as "losers" in response to a reporter's question about tax increases.
But even before he concluded his remarks, the Republican governor attempted to recast himself saying any tax increase is a losing idea. The governor's spokeswoman Margita Thompson also offered the same clarification only a few minutes after a Schwarzenegger's press conference ended.
But Schwarzenegger, who degraded Democrats during the budget fight last summer as "girlie men," seemed to understand a question about whether he would consider proposals to raise taxes from Democrats.
"Why would I listen to losers?" the governor asked. "Let's be honest."
Arnold's response was correct.
hehehe
Arnold rocks
Are we seeing a new GOP? Are they growing a spine?
I would have loved to see the faces of the Dem legislators at that point 8-)
Well, they DID Lose.
Uncle Teddy ain't gonna like that. He may have to sleep on the couch the next couple of weeks.
Tee hee
Girlie man like to raise taxes to feel like they have a pair.
Arnold scores one in this new age of democrat smackdown.
Arnold speaks truth re: lib/dems
... and girlie men ...
Amazing how the MSM thinks winning GOP'ers must listen to and enact the losers proposals...
I prefer "girly men"
Even Lumpy agrees.
I think Hillary or Edwards should run in '08 on tax increases for the rich and how we live in two Americas. Maybe even add universal health care to the mix. That would be a winning ticket IF the Democrats can just get their message out. LOL
Running on raising taxes is a ticket to defeat.
The outspoken California Governor went on perhaps a little too far in then calling the democrats "Stench filled vermin fecal masses who must be spit on... Regularly." I think that is indiscreet of Arnold, but maybe that's just me.
:-)
The more I see of Arnold the more I like him. He and I share little in the moral issues/cultural battle, but like Bush, you KNOW where this man stands, and he is even more blunt than Bush.
Sure, he's brave. Too scared to campaign for Bush in CA. Uh-huh..
LOSERS!
Is that true?
