They just can't stop spending, he says

Robert Salladay, Los Angeles Times

In a fiery speech to Republican faithful Friday evening, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ridiculed Democrats as wasteful spending "addicts" who have been taking "sleeping pills," and he characterized California's problems as stemming from "evil." The speech before about 1,000 people at a convention of the California Republican Party — a traditionally conservative crowd of stalwarts — featured Schwarzenegger's sharpest rhetoric to date as he prepared for a possible special election in November that would shake up state government.

We need reform all right, but what Arnold is offering in many respects is its direct antithesis.

I just wish he had worked as hard to defeat Boxer.

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vowed Friday to put initiatives on the ballot that would enact his government reforms, and he warned California Democrats that the time for negotiating is over."

If the Dims were behind Arnold I would be suspect of him. Being that they are going to fight him tooth and nail, I see that as a good sign for conservatism. He has it right, go to the people and override those idiots. If they make too much of a fuss against the people of California, they will be having coffee with Daschle by the next election.

Schwarzenegger said public employee labor unions and other foes are amassing $200 million to fight him.

Go Arnie. Make the unions a non-issue. Relegate them to the recycle bin.
