Then he can live with the results. He masqueraded as a conservative reformer/cost cutter during the Recall so he sure as hell doesn't deserve any further conservative support. If he doesn't get off his ass and start fulfilling all of those earlier promises damned soon, I'm done with him. I couldn't care less that he's got a big "(R)" after his name. Deliver or get the hell out. How's that for a "message"?

Agreed. Like the old saying has it, its time to fish or cut bait. I don't think Arnold will cut spending. I will be very surprised if it happens. If it doesn't and he keeps naming liberal Democrats to top posts in his Administration and to the courts, no one is going to be motivated to work for his re-election. It all begins and ends with him now - the buck stops on his desk.

That's the problem, it was a masquerade and every conservative knew it. However we were repeatedly told that we had to pick him since a conservative couldn't win. Couple this with the falst hope that he might actually do some of this stuff and you have yourself an elected governor.
