Oh goody! Another classic work of FairOpinion's spin, twisted interpretations in defense of a governor who said that only prison guards and tribes were special interests, inferring that Wall Street banks and real estate honchos didn't apply.
Thus, by the logic of Schwarzenegger (and you FO), "There's no deal," means, 'There's no deal, YET,' and "Arnold is NOT supporting this bill," more than clearly imputes that he wants changes in the current bill.
Here's your problem: Given Arnold has publicly said (and his spokesman has confirmed) that he and Cedillo are working on drivers' licenses for illegals, and that he has said through private channels, "There's no deal," he is either lying to us or to Cedillo et al. It can't be both
Arnold was elected on the premise that he was going to cancel SB-60. He did. What the idiot public who voted for him believed is that he would represent their interests in preventing the issuance of drivers' licenses for illegal aliens. Clearly, by Arnold's own admission, that impression was false. So, either Arnold allowed the public to operate upon a false impression of his intentions, or he lied outright. Feeding people information from which one knows they will draw a false conclusion and allowing them to continue to believe that false impression without correcting it is a dishonest act. Either way, Arnold shows up as a clever manipulator, exactly what I told you he was a month before the recall.
Truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth, FO, else it is a lie. Thus, when you offer, "There's no deal," in response to the charge that Arnold is WORKING on drivers licenses for illegals, your response is deliberate misdirection. Arnold is a liar, and so are you.
ROFL!
I don't know why I keep expecting more, but I do.
Chalk it up to "entertainment value".
