I want a true Republican Governor. Why don't you? If Arnold didn't have the "R" label beside his name, a lot of people wouldn't blinded by his actions to date. He's really not all that different from the Democrat. I'm sorry but its just not good enough to hear he'll keep my taxes low. He doesn't win brownie points from me on that score when the rest of his program amounts to an expansion of California's already bloated government and a contraction of the few freedoms we have left. Arnold has never said he was one of us. FO and his other cheerleaders had better wake up!

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

The massive taxes come later when all the bond money has to be paid back.

... Arnold has never said he was one of us. ...

By 'us' I assume you mean the far right, and he easily captured the middleground by disclaiming the fringe. If you're on the fringe you shouldn't be surprised at 99% of the people using you as fodder for ridicule and contempt. Trouble is that fringe 1% scares away about 25% of the middleground. Another trouble is that about 10% of the far right identify with the fringe and think of themselves as 'the fringe'. So, by disclaiming the 1% he sacrificed the 10% but gained the 25%. Seems easy enough for me to understand.

I, too would like a true Republican Governor. Arnie ain't it, and I share you lack of brownie points for him. Were this a primary there would be no way I would be supporting him. This does not mean I would prefer a Philty Angelides governorship, as most the the ilk would like.

"Arnold has never said he was one of us. FO and his other cheerleaders had better wake up!" Or what?
