The question is, who is "they"? It certainly doesn't seem to be the Democrats or the legislature.
The constitution gives the Governor powers he is obviously reluctant to use (e.g. line-item-veto)--Who won't let him wield the veto pen? Who required that he promote the $6 billion Stem Cell Research sham? Who forced him to promote previously unconstitutional borrowing, opposed by Republicans under the Davis admin and opposed by the majority of the the Republican legislators? Who forced him to promote and implement the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, also opposed by Republican legislators and previously vetoed by Gray Davis? Who forced him to sign 6 pieces of pro-GLBT legislation, including the Unruh Civil Rights Act?
Those pesky little facts.
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest
there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down.
--Ronald Reagan, A Time for Choosing
Facts just get in the way. Some will never admit that most of the leftist actions have been happening since his first hours in office with liberal appointments, record spending increases and the like. Nor will most admit that the special election campaign was totally mismanaged and its failure easily predictable given the approach and timing. They would rather blame conservatives and try to paint Arnold as a victim, or as naive, than acknowledge the Trojan Horse in their midst.
Thanks for the link, first time I have ever read it...very good speach...remarkably relevant to current events...
This current thread is kind of fun. Folks are sharing their favorite "Reaganisms"

You know what? I don't give a damn.
You are certainly entitled to that opinion. But I do give a damn and don't intend to sit by silently and watch the state be destroyed, nor aid or abet those doing advancing the destruction. Nor will I ignore comments that are clearly unsupported by facts.
Ronald Reagan... A true Godsend!!! Thank God he got left behind by the idiotic Demonicrats!!!
and blah, blah, blah.
Do you work this hard at screwing up Republicans in favor of Democrats in your state as well or are we getting the special treatment for a reason?
In my humble opinion, forester... YOU are the man!!! In you own thoughtful way, you've done more to help this state than Arnold has.
All he's ever done besides flap his heavily accented lips is sign some few documents to formalize what the majority wanted in some cases and some others that a very small, sinister minority wanted, like the Sierra-Nevada CONservancy!!!
Good morning Waspman. Thanks for the nice compliment. Looks like we got a snow storm coming today...stay warm and safe.
Wull yeah, I'll try that... I just got up and haven't got the sleep outa my eyes yet... just finished my first cupa green tea and took a look at my Wall Street position. I hope your day goes well and you don't have to shovel too much of that beautiful CA snow!!! (grin)
I just noticed this was evidently written by you. Nice work! I have been predicting he would throw in the towel just like his competitor, Jesse Ventura did in MN. I still stand by my prediction!!!
