Without Arnold, we would end up with this monster.

But we should happy that he is going to sign a dumbass so-called global warming bill that will decimate California's manufacturing and industry?

We should be happy that he's going to sign a driving while talking on cell-phones ban?

We should be happy that he's going to sign a smoking while driving ban?

We should be happy about the scores of other liberal Democrat nanny-state bills he's going to sign? Because boot-licking party-before-principle enablers like you have (wrongly) convinced him that Republicans will voter for him no matter what. So he feels free to act like the commie-socialist he really is.

You and the anti-Arnolds said it will. Arnold's been fairly pro-business and always pushing a hydrogen economy and other technologies which I'd think would appeal to conservatives who want to get off depending on foreign oil from places like Mexico. Better stewardship of the environment is a good thing. Business won't do much of that on their own because it might cost money they'd rather save.

Driving is *not* a right. It's a well regulated activity that you can only participate in by accepting the gov't oversight via licensing.

Cell-phone use while driving is clearly the leading distraction in accidents today according to statistics. Curbing that abuse because of irresponsibility in the name of safety is what gov't should do. It's not any different from DUI rules because you're trying to save others from being harmed by people too irresponsible for the 'ideal' lightly regulated environment. That's only ideal where there's 100% personal responsibility.

I'd rather you be 'inconvenienced' by not being allowed to use your hand-held cell while driving than a woman run your kid down in a lighted cross walk because she wasn't paying attention. The smoking ban in autos may reduce health problems (such as asthma) of young children trapped in cars with idiots who continue to smoke which could almost be considered child abuse.
