Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger met yesterday with Baja California Gov. Eugenio Elorduy in Mexicali.
Another thing for which conservatives should cheer Arnold.
Everybody is smiling in that picture.
smile smile smile
Are you saying he is not getting his due for all his successes? Veto that thought. I'm shocked!
Thanks! I don't know how I missed it.
That's what all you men say! :^)
Cheer away!
Go Arnold! /s
Someone once said: "never mind what they say, watch what they do".
I guess I finally figured out that all you care about, is what someone says, not what they do.
McClintock always says, what you want to hear, but he never did a single solitary thing for conservatives.
Arnold has to be diplomatic, and you were quoting him out of context, but if you look at what he did, 80-90% of his actions ARE conservatives, but none of that means anything, because you prefer the rhetoric to real action.
Arnold is supporting Prop. 73, parental notification, he also said he will veto the homosexual marriage bill, he refused to raise taxes, despite pressure from Dems, he had the legislature reverse the drivers license to illegal bill they passed earlier, he turned CA around from the brink of financial disaster without raising taxes, he initiated propositions 74 (education spending cuts), 75 (paycheck protection), 76 (limit spending), 77 (redistricting). SO FAR...
Also, from this article:
====
Schwarzenegger also reiterated that he will not sign SB 60, which would allow the issuance of a driving certificate not an official California driver license that can be used for identification to people who are not in the country legally.
Schwarzenegger noted that he signed AB 22, which imposes stiff civil and criminal penalties on persons convicted of smuggling people across the border.
>>80-90% of his actions ARE conservative...
You HAVE to be joking!
Back on the payroll, huh? Welcome back.
What can you say? lol
Give me a break with this joker! He's NOT improving much of anything!! He's not impressing anyone but a few of you diehards in the whole state and it's getting very depressing to watch!!!
I mean... Just take a simple lined pad... Draw a line down the middle... list the things on the right connected to Arnold that have produced real positive things for CA and it's well being, then list the stuff on the left connected to Arnold that have either not really helped or set things on a wrong path. Either weight or prioritize the items based on value or timely advantage and see if we are either moving to the right, or the left!!!
Do it! Do it even including your bias or prejudice for or against Mr. Wonderful and let's look at it when your done. OK??? Really... do it!!!
Absolutely despicable. Like Bush, every time this RINO opens his yap about immigration thousands more illegal aliens are encouraged to come where they are not wanted.
Arnold is a RINO, and anything BUT a conservative. He has done very little to carry out his Recall promises. With every announcement of impending bold action there comes the next day an "explanatory press release" backing off of that announcement.
Arnold is a big disappointment. True conservatives want nothing more to do with him.
Please provide the context. I quoted in context from the article. If you have more information, please provide it. If not, please rescind your comment that I misquoted him.
Yep. Welcoming illegal aliens with open arms, and more than happy to spend YOUR taxpayer dollars on more welfare. Continuing on this path will be the demise of the state.
Schwarzenegger was peppered with questions from reporters about controversial statements that many in Mexico have taken offense at, particularly on the Minutemen border watchers and driver licenses for illegal immigrants.
Schwarzenegger's outspoken stance on illegal immigration has generated widespread criticism in Mexico, where initial reaction to his victory was greeted with dismay. Mexican media were quick to point to his support of Proposition 187, the initiative supported by former Gov. Pete Wilson to deny government services to illegal immigrants in California.
Notwithstanding his one-time support for Proposition 187, he emphasized that all people in California are entitled to essential government services regardless of their immigration status.
"We have equal rights for everybody, as you know," he said. "Everyone has the right to use our emergency rooms and to get medical care. Everyone has the right to have education."
Schwarzenegger noted that he signed AB 22, which imposes stiff civil and criminal penalties on persons convicted of smuggling people across the border.
"I just signed a bill the other day to make it a felony of human trafficking," he said. "So if you get busted with that, you go to jail for a long time."
That changes nothing. I did not quote him out of context, based on what you just posted here.
His supposed prior support of Prop 187 a decade ago is irrelevant and has been far overshadowed by his complete lack of support for the Save187 campaign and his total unwillingness to have pursued an appeal of 187.
His dancing with Cedillo saying that drivers licenses are a "security issue" is also ridiculous. Lawbreakers should not be rewarded--period!
