RE: Paying off his campaign debts. We are in a New Age of Politics, imo. I trust that the new Gub and his spokesman are on the up and up with their statements re: monies donated are not linked to quid pro quo.
Look where that has gotten us the last few years with the lucrative very union labor contracts and retirement benefits. These increases are criminal, imo, and need to be rescinded and renegotiated to benefit the taxpayers and not play them for chumps as the demRats have done habitually the last few years.
These are not to be confused with special interest groups. Special interest groups are bad. Schwarzenegger's friends are good.
Remember special interests bad; friends good.
One more time ...
LOL. I think I got it.
I know this thread is dead, but here's a question.
I thought Arnold was rich and going to pay for his own campaign.
That's what he said early on... he "won't take money from anyone".
Why the fundraisers? Why not just write a check? ;-)
You're REALLY trying to irritate the Republicans around here aren't you?
