Local TV news reported the "girlie man" remark over and over. Commentators said it was a "sexist and homophobic" remark.

It would be more correct to say it is a Saturday Night Livest or Hans and Fritzist remark.

Of course they did. They got their marching orders from their Commandant. "There shall be no dissent in my state" said the Liberal High Command.

I don't suppose we could just GIVE California to Mexico?

Why would you want to do that? Just because you don't like the fight? Do you want to give your guns to Sara Brady? Do you want to give your children to Hillary Clinton? Do you want to give all your property to the UN?

Me? I'm going to continue fighting for the things I love and treasure, and California is certainly one of the things I love. It is the most wealthy and one of the most beautiful states in the Union. Most importantly it is my home, the home of Ronald Reagan, and I'll be darned if I ever give it up as long as I am alive and breathing.

I'm glad he used 'girlie'man. America is facing a choice: should mommy run things, or should daddy? Daddy can be a real pain in the *ss when he takes his belt off (failed govt. programs), while mommy will look to other ways to super-fund failing programs when a belt in her hip-huggers doesn't exist. I want it easy, give me momma.

It's not a question of your will to fight. That's obviously in good shape.

It's a question of who's going to join you. The more I hear about Cali, the less and less hope I have.
You should fight for what you love and treasure.
Yes California is one of the most beautiful in the Union. But for how long?
Socialism is crippling your state, and the nation as a whole, as we speak. Arnold has slowed the decline in Cali but it's still there.
How many illegals can be absorbed?
How many business have already fled the state?
With Hollywood under fire for their stupidity, and given the state of technology, how long before films are made elsewhere?

Wealth is based on production of something.

What will California be producing in the future that will be profitable enough to pay for all the social costs?

You couldn't get a profit margin like that if you owned the only crack growing orchard in the world.

"Set back" to the media is when a Republican does not kowtow to the Democrat Party position.

Ahnold nailed the Democrat on this one. He has exposed them on two points. The budget and re-election.

Demcrats are seriously afraid that being called weak girly men will make them loose re-election? yes. Democrats seriously are afraid homosexual democrats will loose office just because they are called weak girly men? yes.

Must be tough to be a member of the Democrat (gay) Party.

Our fight is not so much with the 'Rats in Sac as it's with the press who kisses their Girlie butts on a hourly basis...

but my understanding was that 'girlie man' was ANY male who had a wimpy appearance and didn't workout in the gym. I don't it being a reference to homosexuals.

Even it was a reference to homosexuals --- why would democrats have a problem with that? To democrats, homosexuality is completely natural and wonderful --- they support the homosexual agenda and pander for their votes. Aren't they kind of snubbing a good portion of their supporters by running from something like a "girlie man" label?

Senate President Pro Temp John Burton, D-San Francisco, said he was steamed with remarks the Republican governor made over the weekend accusing Democrats of holding up the budget and acting like "girlie men" for not standing up to special interests.

Thus proving the governator was correct on all counts.

Watch out, Arnold, they are so not going to invite you to go to the mall with them, and one of them may even pinch you!

The girlie Dems are so full of crap, it takes two johns to flush it away...

And lately, no matter how hard they pound on their high-chair trays, their anti-Bush message simply doesn't seem to stick anymore:

Linda Ronstadt: NO STICK...booted out of hotel suite...Vegas show-goers demand REFUNDS;

Whoopi Goldberg: NO STICK...vulgar reference to turds falls flat after stool samples show stronger resemblance to Whoopi than to Bush;

Michael Moore: NO STICK...even girlie-Mag TIME Magazine, for cryin' out loud, couldn't stomach all the obvious lies in "Fahrenheit 911".

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA,,,,,
