Hey SW... you ain't alone.
NEVER surrender! :-)
I ain't, reely... I'm justa playin possum!!!
Not with Arnold, he won't! He's been one of Arnold's biggest cheer leaders even on the Limbaugh show. He's so vested in Arnold he couldn't even dare to question ANYTHING Arnold supports without losing all credibility and his entire FACE!!!
One would think that the former Mayor of San Diego would hold back some tiny reservation, just in case Arnold had to exercise some wiggle room, but noooooohohoho... Arnold can moon-walk on water!!!
Now I want to hear from all those who blasted Tom as being some totally ridgid, unbending idealista during the Recall as it now looks like he just bent over frontwards!
I understand his finally doing it as everyone has beat the crap out of him that if he says ANYTHING the least bit critical anymore, he'll continue to be "dissed" as a "disruptor!"
My chagrin over the Sierra-Nevada Conservancy legislative proposal encouraged by Arnold will probably get me "dissed" as a "disruptor" on FR, but I can't help it. It's a despicable Socialist concept that swells and compounds unnecessary GovernMental intervention!!!
I only wish Tom still had the courage to speakout against it for whatever good it would do at this point. Somebody influential and conservative sure needs to!!!
Is that not true anymore???
This thread never had that in the title; you must be remembering another thread. I think the billions in savings probably is true, but no one involved is willing to say anything specific about the savings yet. If you believe what people are saying, they've closed down some of the more egregious abuses of the old system. Tom McClintock says that this is probably the best bill possible under the circumstances, and he's on board with it, so I'm optimistic.
You are correct, Sir! My mistake as there was so much similarity in titles. In fact, it was the same article!!! (confusion reigns)(grin)
I know the feeling, particularly when there are so many stories covering the same topic.
Now we're about to descend into the budget fight. That's going to be an interesting one as well. My antennae are picking up an undertone to the coverage that Schwarzenegger is getting: Arnold may win 99% of of the time, but if he loses even one of these "showdowns", there's going to be wall-to-wall coverage about how he's a paper tiger, the terminator gets terminated, yada yada yada. You can just sense how the media is poised to declare him a failure. They probably have his political obituary already written and sitting in their desk drawers.
