Arnold on Hardball

Chris Matthew's show "Hardball" is on the road. His first stop is an interview with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[rodguy911]

Arnold is kicking fat Chris's butt all over. He just explained how the nurses union is destroying medical care in Kallyfornia. He's great.

[kellynla]

glad you like him...
wanna trade?

[econ_grad]

I heard him say that he agrees with activist judges. Enough said.

[rodguy911]

Trade Jeb for Arnold, well, uhhhh, well uhhhh
I still like Arnold but no thanks.

[rodguy911]

I missed that.
I still think Arnold means well.
Matthews asked him if the union helped him in his career.
Arnold said no he didn't need their help.

I am the first to admit I do not understand California politics that well.

[kellynla]

I didn't think so! LOL
he puts on a great show...he's an actor after all...lots of talk but not much action...
we're still in debt as far as the eyes can see and more since he was elected...and no solutions...just more borrowing...

[NorCalRepub]

he didn't say that in that way did he????he said he is for civil unions but not gay marriage but would uphold whatever the Supreme Court said......that is a political statement......I still think he is very good and choosing his words for the most part, said he was againt raising the minimum wage and attacks the unions.......that is a good start

[PRND21]

..lots of talk but not much action..

Sounds famililiar, Kelly.

Arnold continues to piss off the right people.

[billorites]

Think "Big Tent" folks.

[NorCalRepub]

you are right.....he is alot of talk and wish more was done by now but in fairness, it would have taken anyone more than a year and a half to solve this crap.......I wish we could vote again on some of these programs in Calif that have automatic increases.......we need to be more flexible in able to cut spending

[rodguy911]

Do you think he will get better with the budget. Does he just need more time. Is he being sabotaged by the calif. house and senate? Or is he just a big spender?

[rodguy911]

I notice Chris does not dare interrupt Arnold or talk over him, he may be afraid of getting his butt kicked.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Yeah, Chrissy only picks on smallish Filipino women (e.g., Michelle Malkin... though I'd bet on Michelle kicking Chrissy's @$$ as well)

[kellynla]

if RINOld had put forth McClintock's "13 percent solution" we would be in balance next year...as it is, all we have is MORE DEBT!

I won't say "I told you so"


doesn't matter now...
he won't be back for reelection next year and just like his mentor Petey Wilson, he'll leave a big mess and it'll take us another ten years to get a Republican elected governor!

[kellynla]

you obviously don't pay CA state income taxes...

[rodguy911]

Yeah for sure. I don't think any of us will ever forget that episode. He sure has the crowd at Stanford on his side tonight. Chris is losing battle after skirmish.

Arnold just told Chris not to be short sided when asked why he outsourced jobs to India. He is in control, no "hardball" tonight.

Arnold, "Chris get it straight, not the nurses the nurses union." He is setting the agenda.

[rodguy911]

I am beginning to wonder if anyone cares about balancing budgets anymore.

[econ_grad]

I think he said that he doesn't agree that a mayor should have the capability of changing laws, but if that is how the Courts rule then he would accept it. That makes no sense in my opinion. He tactly encouraged and endorsed judicial activism.

[econ_grad]

I predicted he will be back in DC for the federal govt to bail out CA. I deserve a medal.

[NorCalRepub]

don't know if he endorsed it......it was almost exactly the same thing Mitt Romney said in Mass......I think it is just political double speak.......hell even Bush does that like saying he wouldn't rule out raising the salary cap on SS reform.....
