He is a fiscal conservative and is pro-business and anti-taxation, yes.

That is what he says he is. I have yet to see it.

Even the awful embryonic stem cell measure passed. But CA is too nice. It's beautiful country. You can't run to the 'red states'. People are going to have to take CA back.

Didn't we just borrow 15 Bil, cause we were bankrupt?

"Nunez said Democratic candidates helped themselves by focusing on "kitchen table issues" that most voters embrace - raising the minimum wage, stopping the offshoring of jobs, reducing prescription drug prices and protecting the environment and consumer rights."

Same old tired lefty tripe! And Arnold still couldn't get these people to quit majoring in the minors or get anybody elected that will major in majors!!!

Maybe Bush will send in the 82nd Airborne. We need GOP regime change here for sure.

There are kool-aid drinkers here. Unfortunately, they are also the voters who happen to living in the vote-rich areas.

"single-handedly"

That's not true at all! John and Ken interviewed the billionaire on KFI tonight that arranged the defeat of that measure!! Arnold just lent his face and verbage!!!

That man's story is "fantastic!" Much more so than Arnold's!!! (I just wish I could remember his name! Can anybody help me with that? He didn't sleep for two weeks and spent millions of non-taxdeductible bucks on commercials!)

... he campaigned against every spending and tax increase initiative on the ballot.

He did? What about Propostion 71?

Oh, that's right, bonds aren't taxes or spending... and $6 Billion isn't that much. /s

You got it.

The California Republicans are like a bad sports franchise (take your pick), they lose, lose and lose until losing becomes acceptable and expected. They expect to lose so they no longer fight to win.

The Party in California needs to start fighting from the ground up. There are there are those that will. I just watched a bunch of people working their butts off dialing for votes in the hopeless cause of the Bay Area.

A waste of time, but they did it. Day in, day out for the last month.

Get the primadonna's with the losing attitudes who know you can't win in California - and who now control the party apparatus - out of the way. They are losers. Get rid of them. Then get some men and women who don't like losing and won't be afraid to roll up their sleeves and go to work. Start recruiting a small army of footsoldiers, like Peggy Noonan's "rag-tag band of volunteers (in other states this election), who fought like Washington's troops at Valley Forge".

It will take leadership. It will take time. It won't be easy. But it can be done. Yesterday proved that.

But they did hear him come out for/against initiatives. And he "won" every single one of those.

So we should celebrate that he "won" Prop 71 increasing the state liability by $6 Billion? Or that he alone can approve Indian Gaming expansion (at rates equiv to those proposed in Prop 70), with no checks and balances? BTW, he didn't "win" the Open Primary proposition that he endorsed... thank goodness.

But Ahnold killed 66, (the three-strikes water-down), single-handedly-- it just barely missed.

I am happy this didn't pass and happy Arnold supported it, but "Single-handedly"? LOL. Yep... Mr. Tough-on-Crime:

CA: Easing up on killers (The Pardonator)
Republican Schwarzenegger, in office less than 12 months, has approved 60 parole recommendations from the state Board of Prison Terms for convicts guilty of the most serious crimes. That makes him, on average, 50 times more lenient than Davis.

How can you take him serious about the deficit when he campaigned for adding $3-4 billion more to it ? I think Arnie is a joke and should go back to doing what he does best, acting.

I don't, and never did. He's a liberal masquerading as a Republican. There isn't a conservative bone in the man's body... yet the cheerleaders still cheer... and the state goes bankrupt.

That's what amazes me. This guy could appoint RFK jr. to head the Cal-EPA, and they would be trying to make the case that it was PURE GENIUS by Arnold. The facts are building everyday... and the case continues to weaken. History will prove them wrong. I just hope there is something left of the state by that time.
