Gee, only Gavin Newsom handing out gay marriage licenses like they were french fries. Oh, and Gavin was the more "moderate" candidate. If that's San Francisco's idea of "moderate", I'd hate to meet the "liberal" Green Party candidate who lost. He probably makes Karl Marx look conservative!
Arnold on the other hand, has failed to show any glimmer of conservatism, fiscal or otherwise. Big borrowing, big spending, more gun control, fewer than 50% republican judicial appointees, a GREEN environmental platform, etc.. Do you support these things? Why should any republican support those things? It isn't Arnold--it is his actions. Kennedy is not the first leftist appointee. We've seen Reiss, Tamminen (the treehugger), Henning (Red diaper boy), etc.
Yep, that's the argument I witnessed.
Yep, I thought CCC's post was beyond the pale.
No matter what you say, he's still better than Gray Davis or Bustamante. I'm not saying he's a great Governor, he's just better than they would have been. And if he hadn't run, Bustamante would have won and that would have been a complete disaster.
The purely emotional mind-set is so stale and incorrect!!!
So. Do you wish Gray Davis were still Governor? Do you wish Bustamante had won? Given what you wrote, it appears you think they might have done a "better" job than Governor Arnold.
"All the GOP folks cheered, not realizing that he's no different than Dinkins."
That's really unfair, as many problems as I have with Bloomy, you can't say he's no different than Dinkins. He would not let an anti-semitic riot rage for three days, that's what Dinkins did that got his behind voted out of office.
"RIP (Rest in purgatory)"
Now, you know, I never thought of it that way. Good one!
True, true...maybe I was mistating it a bit!
I could compare him to Lindsay, but he was another fake Pubbie!

How nice of Arnie to appoint an actual Republican or two to a handful of offices. Slick Willie appointed a Republican as his Secretary of Defence. That must make him a "fiscal conservative" in your mind.
