"The Republicans have enough votes to block any attempt of the legislature to override a veto."


When did you become the minority whip? I got a suggestion for you "conservatives". If it's purity you want, politics ain't the game for you.

As for advancing conservative ideals by electing a liberal...what did you think you were getting with Arnold? Your choice this time around is no different than last time. Keep setting unattainable goals for yourself and you're never going to be happy. Forget about electing any but a moderate Republican for governor. Under the current circumstances it ain't going to happen. We're going to have to start at the bottom and work up. Now there's a conservative approach.

And what if the "moderate" Republican Governor gives us the liberal wish list? You think that's acceptable because he has an "R" beside his name? I'd like to think party loyalty has some limits - and that's also a two-way street.

When did you become the minority whip?

"Oops, I was wrong" would have been a more honest answer.

If it's purity you want, politics ain't the game for you.

Purity is not what I seek. But I also expect a Republican Governor to stand up for at least 80% of the party platform, even if some compromise is made from there. As it is, we're losing more battles than we did under Gray Davis as the governor (R) has aided and abetted the dems in achieving their objectives.

How about that Veto pen, huh? Global Warming, Minimum Wage Increases, Prescription Drug Programs, Financial Aid for Illegal Aliens, Popular Vote Compacts, Homosexual Agenda Bills--All appropriate targets for a Veto by a Republican Governor.

what did you think you were getting with Arnold?

Conservatives were told Arnold would cut spending. He accelerated the growth in spending faster than did Davis.

Conservatives were told Arnold would cut regulations. They're worse than ever.

Conservatives were told Arnold would "cut up the credit cards." Arnold continues to borrow ever larger sums to pay for Democrat pork with ever thinner justification.

Conservatives were told Arnold would not raise taxes. So he raised fines and fees while pushing tax increases on local government.

Conservatives were told Arnold was against driver licenses for illegals. He continues to negotiate that with Cedillo and has promised a to sign a bill with sufficient security provisions.

Conservatives were told Arnold would take on the leftist unions. He caved to them instead.

Shall I go on?
