The 'Rats don't have a clue what a war is!

California Democrats lashed out at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger during their annual convention Saturday, vowing to block his administration's agenda in an extraordinary reversal of good will toward the celebrity governor.
Schwarzenegger, whose push for controversial government reforms has enraged labor unions and other traditionally Democratic constituencies, came under withering attack as speaker after speaker chastised his leadership abilities. "The governor has declared war on the state of California," Assemblywoman Judy Chu said. "He declared war on us and I declare war on him."
Some in the convention hall held signs reading "Stop Arnold's Arrogance!" while others carried bobblehead dolls depicting the Republican governor in a pink dress with an automatic rifle strapped to his shoulder. A video mocking Schwarzenegger's campaign fund-raising and fondness for cigars drew laughter from the crowd.
"Voters gave Arnold Schwarzenegger a chance when he became governor they gave him high ratings and listened to what he had to say," said U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. "Now they see that what they thought they were getting is something quite different."
Republican Party spokeswoman Karen Hanretty said the convention proved that Democrats are more interested in gloating over Schwarzenegger's recent political setbacks than they were in fixing the state's problems.
"The real arrogance lies within the Democratic leadership that refuses to acknowledge the fiscal and budget crisis in California, and the out-of-control spending spree this state has been on for over a decade," she said.
The outbursts Saturday follow a general decline in support among Democratic lawmakers and voters for the once-universally popular Schwarzenegger, who has been hurt by his policy decisions and several gaffes.
During the budget fight last year, he branded Democrats "girlie men," infuriating some who called the remark sexist and homophobic. Two days after the Democrats took a drubbing at the polls in the November election, Schwarzenegger referred to leaders of the party as "losers."
Schwarzenegger has also called for a series of changes to everything from public employee pensions to how legislative districts are drawn. Opponents have challenged the governor's policies in court, run TV ads against him and staged street demonstrations.
Schwarzenegger has been organizing a statewide petition drive take his proposals directly to the voters in a special election expected this fall, raising an estimated $50 million he said he needs for the campaign.
Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean was to address the convention later Saturday night and a 2006 gubernatorial hopeful, Attorney General Bill Lockyer, was to speak Sunday.

Well if da gov does not do it, the state is finished as anything other than a liberal s***-hole, doomed to extinction and a viable economic state, as it once was under anything but liberal/leftist destructive domination. The commie slime like Pelosi and the other RATS, that have turned California in a socialist-welfare colony under their control, are clearly trying to demonize (standard lib procedure) the only force that is willing to go up against their far-leftist rule of California. Let's hope the RatTerminator has the guts to make it happen. We cleaned out the Governor's mansion, now let's clean out the legislature.
NaZi Pelosi has spoken, All Hail 2PAC Pelosi. ;-)
I don't don't always agree with Schwarzenegger, but it's this crowd of DUmmies that encourages me to support the Governator.
He has enraged labor unions. Yeah because Gay Davis isn`t throwing money at them for votes.
It's nice to see Arnold angering all the right people. Go Arnold!
So what does Maria think of how her party is treating her husband? Does anyone think this could cause a bit of a rift within the Kennedy family? Inquiring minds want to know.
No, it called the truth.
bttt
HA HA!!!! Now that`s one I`ve never seen before. Damn, if you didn`t know who they were you wuld swear that was a gay couple. Look at sue boy, he looks like an old lady.
Beyond L.O.L.!!....there, there honey...I know we lost...don't look so shocked...find your inner strengh and don't cry.
Non girlie men do not...
Kerry's limp wrist on the football looks suspect....suprised he did'nt kill anyone when he went goose hunting....limp wrists and shotguns seem an unsafe mix.......
The truly terrifying thing is how close they came to being the First Couple.
The closer you look...It seems Kerry is doing ballet practice!..pirouette anyone?
Referring to any 'Rat politician as a "girlie man" is definitely a gratuitous and inexcusable insult... to girlie men. :)
IMHO, Dubya knows how to get the ball to spin to stabilize it, and from the position of Kerry's hand he does not.
