Democrats are eagerly working with the governor, despite the potential political damage to their own candidate for governor, state Treasurer Phil Angelides.

Ouch.

Arnold has proven that he swings both ways.

Schwarzenegger has done a great deal of flip flopping, however he has never hidden the fact he is a environmentalist.

I will be doing something I've never done before this fall in the governor's race, I'm going to vote Libertarian. We all need to call his office and demand he veto SB160, a bill just past that will give college financial aid to illegal aliens. Why the hell do people who don't pay taxes and aren't obeying our nation's laws entitled to financial aid? And what's to keep these people from skipping town with the money or sending it back to Mexico, or using it to buy beer? For student loans, they have no Social Security number, so how do you track their credit or ding their credit when they don't repay? Notice I don't say if.

Call the governor's office and demand a veto of this slap in the face to California taxpayers: 916-445-2841

Please call!

"Democrats have been playing ball with Schwarzenegger since they......


turned him into a democrat.

"The deal announced Wednesday between the Republican governor and leaders of the Democratic-controlled Legislature would make California the first state to limit carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from factories and other industrial sites."

He said he ran for Governor to "bring the businesses back to California", and yet is eagerly signing all manner of legistlation that's chasing jobs out.

[FairOpinion]

"He's absolutely willing to prostitute himself on anything," said Angelides adviser Bill Carrick. "How humiliating it must be to be a Republican in this state."

Now we know for sure where the Arnold bashers are getting their script.

Just an open question to Californians (and I used to be one)...Do you people not realize that he's married to a Kennedy? He sleeps with a Kennedy? He shares a home and a checking account with a Kennedy? He has four children with a Kennedy? And as an "Environmentalist" he shares a few SUVs, a few McMansion homes and a few gas-guzzling airplanes with a Kennedy, ala Algore?

Arnold is a great example of an immigrant 'Making It In America.' He's an awesome businessman and a goal-setter. Do you not see this Governorship as just another "goal" of his? Why did he run in CA? Why not, say, Nebraska? Why did The Beast run in New York and not her "home towns" of either IL or AK?

Pillow talk will get you everywhere. Even into the State House. ;)

Disclaimer: My state is also run by Socialists. I feel your pain. I don't fault you at all for chosing him over your other choices, but until we all stand firm and DEMAND that the GOP give us TRUE Conservatives, we'll continue to be offered sh*t on toast (RINOs) because they know we'll eat it.

Or else our party truly IS bankrupt and devoid of True Conservatives; a much more terrifying notion, actually.

Who is Arnie's base? It certainly isn't the GOP. The Democrat base aren't going to support Arnie, even those Democrats who now comprise his entire staff.

Are there enough "Moderates" to reelect Arnie, or are 90% of the Democrats just going to stay home?

Arnie will get less than half the GOP vote, maybe even less. He's less popular with the GOP rank and file than Gray Davis was. He's a one-half-term govinator.

Moving Left doesn't seem to have hurt Arnold as much as its left the Angelides campaign without a clear target of opportunity.

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

I guess we can drop the RINO label and replace it with a new one.

RINOW (Republican In Name Only Whore)

The deals have opened up Schwarzenegger to charges that he is jettisoning his Republican principles

Har! You have to wonder if the author typed this with a straight face.

[Lancey Howard]

The Democrats' willingness to strike deals that hurt Angelides could mean they do not believe he can win in November, said Democratic strategist Chris Lehane

Uh, no, what it means is that the Democcrats already have a Democrat governor.
