Kalifornia is worst off now than when he took over from Grey Davis.

Hmmmm - wonder where the freepers are who told the rest of us we were nuts for not supporting Arnold - those of us who wanted to see McClintock in the governor’s mansion! Don’t see them around any longer, do we?
To: SmithL
What happened to everyone on this forum who rejected McClintock because he was “unelectable?” Remember when Schwarzenneger was our best hope, even though he was the lesser of two evils? This is what you get when you vote for RINOs.

My favorite “damn fool” moment during the Ahnuld era was when he claimed to have “learned his lesson” about forcing taxpayer funded “special elections” to pass ballot measures in 2005.... then Ahnuld got amnesia and insisted on dragging voters out for ANOTHER “special election” in 2009. California voters then had to give him a second smackdown. Never understood why this guy was so fixated on wasting money for “Special elections” when he could have gotten the exact same measures on the ballot a few months later in the regularly scheduled statewide primary ballot.

If he had surrounded himself with conservatives, he had a chance, but all the liberals sabotaged any good he could have done. If his administration had been able to succinctly give reasons to the voting public for his voting measures, he had a chance, but he let the unions guide the discussion.

“His latest rating is 23 percent, no different statistically than the 22 percent with which Davis left office.”
Even the dumbest electorate in the USA can see through Schwarzenkennedy’s B.S.

Not really. He’s obviously a religious worshiper who bows before the alter of ClimateChangism.

"Here's my plan," he said. "Audit everything, open the books, and then we end the crazy deficit spending. "... If you're happy with the way things are, keep your current leaders. If you want to change this state, then join me." Arnold had the right ideas, but then he realized how unpopular his stances were and gave in to "practical politics" to preserve his celebrity image. There aren't many out there with the character of Chris Christie, who can stand up to the public employee unions.

In fairness, there isn’t anyone who can fix California. At this point, the prevailing view is “Eat, drink and be merry. Tomorrow we die.”

The climate change credo is a legacy gift that will keep on giving. Watch as our industries buckle under the regulatory load of bull&%$# that is coming down upon them. One has only to look at the timber and biomass industries on either side of the California/Oregon border. One is healthy, and new alternative energy technologies are supported. The other is foundering with the last remaining mills closing and cogeneration plants mired in tons of lengthy, expensive red tape.
The gift of “sustainable communities” is right on track as California emmulates failed European strategies. And, if you read the new “visioning” blueprint for the CVPIA, it comes straight out of the European playbook.
Arnold took us quite a pace down the road to European socialism to the great loss of our individual freedoms and the integrity of private property rights. But it will be nothing in comparison to the steep slope we are about to travel down with Jerry Brown.
