Not true. The guv was screwed by the inept advisors around him, not conservatives. Remember the firestorm over leaving widows and orphans out of public employee pension reform? How about the genius that screwed-up the wording of the redistricting measure? Face it, the guv is all show and no go. Now he is caving into the CTA, and every other liberal lobby known to Sacremento.
Tell me this, smart CA guy. Were we better off with a (D) guv who was held in check by a conservative minority or are we better off with a (R) guv that cuts backroom deals with the liberals, apoints liberal judges, and then gets the party to heap scorn on those who dare stand for principle?
You and others talk about results...you try to scare us conservatives with the "your electing a dem" boogieman arguement. This is crap. Arnold blew it, and set the conservative cause back at least five years. IMHO, we were better off letting the dems screw the State up then supporting a liberal (R) under the banner of "win at all costs." Like the waspman stated, by giving the dems the opportunity to complete the screw job they started, it ensures that voters know who blame. Asking for blind allegiance to a party that is morally bankrupt is insulting to anyone of integrity! Don't come to me asking for $ or looking for a volunteer to walk precincts for this guv!
Indeed, Davis could have only dreamed of passing half the spending and borrowing bills that Arnold has finagled. The super-majority requirements in the legislature would not have been met with Republicans and conservatives sticking to principle. Instead, a few have been weak and forced to support liberalism as the CA GOP holds their purse-strings and threatens their career. I don't condone their weakness, although I do understand it.
