"Only Nixon Could Go To China" ~ "Only A Republican Can Give Illegals Drivers Licenses"

In your heart, California, you knew better.
I thought CA was out of junk bond status now?
McClintock Million BUMP
Arnold starting changing his tune once the votes were counted, then the pandering to the hispanic lobby started. Sadly, voters in California went for the star power of Arnold over the common sense of McClintock.
Part of the bubble we all felt after the ABD (Anybody But Davis) plan was implemented. Wall Street got a bounce by it and has given us more credit, for now...
However joyous having a movie star taking over may make people feel, how he governs is eventually going to force them to think, or rethink about his competence;
Indeed, the structure of each budget is remarkably similar, said Fred Silva, an analyst with the non-partisan Public Policy Institute of California. ``If you don't want to cut spending or raise taxes, the choices are borrow, keep spending flat and move expenditures down the road.'' That deferral strategy -- transparent in deals Schwarzenegger has cut with leaders of local government, public schools, higher education and, most recently, state employee unions -- irks Democrats and Republicans who worry about the long-term effects. In each major deal the governor has cut, he has traded savings now for state payments in the future.

Damn the luck, eh? The Titanic didn't turn on a dime, so let's shoot the captain.
Yeah! We could've had a high-quality new tire, not just another temporary patch. You're still with us Tom. Now that the recall process is well established, we may need it, and you, yet again.
When the captain is steering your ship into an iceberg, somebody needs to grip the wheel and steer a new course. Arnie took the wheel and stayed the course the previous captain set.
Interesting choice of words, more true than you realize, although for much more complicated reasons than you understand.

A lot of us on here understood this months before the election. There will be no turn from this fateful sinking of (R)nold and the CA GOP will sink with him.
Here, meet a friend of mine: Perfect. Meet another friend of mine: Good.
Lets you and him fight.
What did you expect? Ronald Reagan?
Right you are, as usual Mr. Buchanan. Kindly scroll up a post.
Welcome *back* to Free Republic.
If anyone is a Buchanonite it would more likely be someone who has been banned, Mr July 1st 2004.
I thought Jim was keep track of IPs. He needs to with your kind.
Yup.. You are a real pro at troll-whacking. Never heard of lurkers, have you?
So you're a lurker now? I believe you. With the handle Ghost in the Machine. I believe you. Who has such a strong opinion for (R)nold. I believe.
Who am I kidding, I don't believe you. Better question, just who do you think you are kidding "Ghost"?
People change, you know.
Change? I thought you were a lurker who wasn't banned-get your lies straight.
Better yet, I'm really not interested, run along and haunt somebody else "Ghost".
Read your FReepmail, please.
Doesn't you life suck enough as it is?
Are you trying to bore me, or is this just a misunderstanding?
As I told you in the FReepmail that you suddenly stopped using, your personal story various FR names is profoundly uninteresting and I couldn't possibly be less curious.
Don't go away mad, JUST GO AWAY.
