Again the warning to rabid, Republican partisans: If the Austrian should switch his party registration. California will never be rid of this liberal interloper.

Pretty damn gross.

Pretty damn gross.

"Joining the former action superstar, according to multiple sources in both parties, on his jet will be Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, along with the Republican legislative leaders, Senator Dick Ackerman and Assemblyman George Plesci"

It was a JOINT effort and agreement between the Governor and the Legislature and they are all taking credit for it.

WHAT is so strange about that?

Of course, if we had listened to some of those rabid Republican partisans, maybe they wouldn't have nominated a closet Democrat to the Republican ticket in the first place, eh? The "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em mentality" in some dusty corners of the big tent is slowing poisoning the GOP, both in California and elsewhere.

"And if Kennedy will become a Republican..."


Arnold becoming a Democrat is about as likely as Kennedy becoming a Republican.

It would have been much easier for Arnold to switch to be a Dem, long before this, given the undubitable Kennedy pressure for many years. But ARNOLD STAYED A REPUBLICAN, because he believes in Republican values.

It would have been much easier for him to run in CA as a Dem, BUT HE DID NOT, HE RAN AND IS A REPUBLICAN AND A US CITIZEN.

Your referring to him as "the Austrian" reflects on your hatred of Arnold, NOT on Arnold.

Maybe the Kennedy initiation is like the Mob's..

With evident amusement, Perata recounted what a Republican legislator told him of one Schwarzenegger/Schmidt private session with their fellow partisans. “The governor laid out the stakes, very directly.” And Schmidt? "... He was like Frank Nitti. (Al Capone’s "enforcer.")”

And thanks to the Frank Nitti approach, despite the fact some of these ridiculous bond packages could have been blocked given the 2/3 majority required to pass, Republican legislators abandoned the pay-as-you-go proposal with many opting to abstain entirely from voting and yet others actually voting for such "investments" as housing for farmworkers and other pork-filled projects. See the full "hall of shame" here.

I wish he would switch his party registration because that would make statements like this one less frequent:

“The governor,” the Senate Democratic leader (Don Perata) says, “was very engaged at the end. He played a big role in getting Republican votes.”

The Republican and Democrats are OFFICIALLY exactly the same parties.
