"There was a time when a thread like this would have the Arnie-bots swarming all over it like wasps on a rotting piece of meat on a sunny day. What happened to them?"
I think they "threw in the towel" a lonnnnnng time ago...
Ya don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to recognize a RINO when ya see one.
And again, I won't say "I told ya so!" LOL
The reason you didn't see any of that, was until your post there wasn't any mention of Arnie swooners, bots et al... at least not that I noticed.
Don't you find this type of thread a lot more productive when we focus on the 90% of what Schwarzenegger has done that is bad, rather than drift off into the 'I told you so neatherworld'?
I voted for Schwarzenegger. I was under no dilusion that things were going to be peachy under his rule. I stated up front there that would be some things we'd like, and a lot of things we'd detest.
I did not want Davis or Bustamante in there.
I did not like the idea of Schwarzenegger becoming governor. I don't think any 'conservatives' did.
