Get ready for the Gil Cedillo campaign of "Arnold lied to me". Cedillo, Torres and others on the left will enjoy spreading this rumor to the minority members of California.
Congratulations to the 'gullible for carrying the water for this "hammer". The Dems will play this into Prop 187 all over again...and the conservative talkers helped with this cause.
Yes, Arnold was talking; but the goal was to 'make the hurdles so high' that the Dems would be the ones who would say no to SB1160.
Not now...now it is Arnold and the Republicans saying no to the DL bill. This will be used by the Dems in the campaign!
Silence would have been golden on this one. The Governor would have never signed this highly controversial bill, but we could have allowed the Dems to think so.
Welcome to political strategy...setting yourself up for the future. The Republicans bashed Arnold and the Democrats have captured a third rail, wedge issue for their services later this year!

Earlier you appeared to advocate that it was shrewd for Schwarzengger not to reject CDLs for Illegal outright. If he had done so, how would Cedillo be able to say he lied? Only by leaving the door open to CDLs for Illegals has the door been left open for Cedillo to say that AS lied. Congratulations to the 'gullible for carrying the water for this "hammer". The Dems will play this into Prop 187 all over again...and the conservative talkers helped with this cause.
Actually, it was conservatives who went soft on #187 that aided and abetted the Dems. The #187 backlash is a media myth. Tough stances against Illegals cut as strongly for the GOP as do pro Second Amendment and pro death penatly positions. Democrat strength on those issues was always a bluff. Not now...now it is Arnold and the Republicans saying no to the DL bill. This will be used by the Dems in the campaign!
Good. It will save us money on advertising. Silence would have been golden on this one. The Governor would have never signed this highly controversial bill, but we could have allowed the Dems to think so.
Now you're back to setting them up to say "Arnold lied." Welcome to political strategy...setting yourself up for the future. The Republicans bashed Arnold and the Democrats have captured a third rail, wedge issue for their services later this year!
Running scared in front of the Democrats on issues that cut for Republicans isn't "strategy." That third rail belings to us. Let the Dems wail about it all they want.

Rather insightful commentary. I was starting to suspect something of that nature as well.
