Schwarzenegger Blasts Bush on Global Warming
ABC snooze with George Steponallofus ^ | 7/11/08

Posted on 07/12/2008 8:09:34 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

ABC News' Mary Bruce Reports: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., spoke out against President Bush this morning attacking his administration for its failure to counter global warming emissions.

"This administration did not believe in global warming," Schwarzenegger told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview that will air Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

"They just didn't believe in it or they didn't believe that they should do anything about it, since China is not doing anything about it and since India is not willing to do the same thing, so why should we do the same thing?" Schwarzenegger said.

"We don't wait for other countries to do the same thing. That's what makes America number one... And I think we have a good opportunity to do the same thing, also, with fighting global warming," he said.

Schwarzenegger's comments came in reaction to the Environmental Protection Agency's recent decision not to take further action against global warming during the remainder of Bush's presidency. "Well, to be honest with you, if they would have done something this year, I would have thought it was bogus anyway," he said. When asked why, the California Governor said, "because you don't change global warming and you don't really have an effect by doing something six months before you leave office."

Arnold and all the other RINOs should be drummed out of the Republican Party. No more Big Tent!

Jay did some great artwork. His posters really told the true story.
I miss him around here.

Hey Arnold, go lift something heavy and leave the science to those who actually have the education and brain power to understand it.

Run against Barbara Bowzer? What’s the real difference between them?

Not much, except Arnold can co-opt the Dem platform and destroy the GOP at the same time.
He's doing that quite well in California, already.

. If you told me five years ago that Arnold was stupid enough and naive enough to get fooled by the “global warming” hoaxers, I would not have believed it.

It was written in black and white in his Environmental Platform, published prior to the election.

Usually, you should use different words, but in your case, the profanity in your post is absolutely right on target.

Ahnold has been a trememndous disappointment, and that’s because he married a Kennedy. Sometimes I wish the Kennedys just stayed in Ireland.

It only took thirty years of doing nothing, but my body finally looks better than Ahnold’s.

Except that it wasn’t from news.com.au

It was from Rush Limbaugh’s web site. Please re-post it.

I believe he already stated he wasn’t running in 2010, and even if he was, I wouldn’t endorse him after his embarrassingly liberal reign of error in Sacramento. At least Boxer has the integrity and intellectual honesty to serve as a Democrat, a lot more than I can say for Ah-nold.

I thought Arnie was busy helping run California into the ground. Where oh where does he find the time to criticize Bush on global warming?

“Don’t blame me...I voted for McClintock.”

That makes both of us. We need a bumper sticker.

I don’t believe it either and neither does he or he wouldn’t fly around in his private jet at a whim.

Ditto. Only a tool would rant and rave about global warming while his State budget is out of whack and the citizens of his state are suffering severe economic harm from unreasonable energy costs. Arnold can just shove it. But hey - don’t blame me, I voted for McClintock.
