Schwarzenegger: McClintock is 'wrong' on bonds

Schwarzenegger said. "During the recall election, people voted for me as an act of faith. This time I want them to vote for me as a vote of confidence fear."

There, I fixed it for him.

In the 1990's, the state grew by 3 million, but its white population dropped by almost half a million. L.A. County alone lost 480,000 white folks.

Interesting. The white population of the ENTIRE STATE dropped by "almost" half a million and LA county alone lost almost half a million.

Sounds like ONLY LA county is losing whites.

The actions of both the Senator and the Governor are not surprising. They are from two different worlds and I wouldn't expect either to budge.

What is surprising is the action of Republican partisans and some conservatives on this forum. I can see no reasonable, or prudent, or logical, or philosophical reason to support a liberal for governor. None.

When Schwarzenegger works to undermine both the platform and the candidates of the party in which he is registered, he should be separated from the Republican Party.

Even an 8th grade, civics student knows where the Austrian will take the state in the next four years; higher taxes, bigger government; more government spending and fewer personal freedoms. To achieve his goals, Schwarzenegger will overcome the direct opposition of Republican legislators by excluding them from the legislative process.

That Schwarzenegger can be called a Republican by partisan loyalists, is simply dumbfounding.

I notice Arnie's Army of Apologists haven't been out to play lately.

Yes, I thought about that too as I was transmitting the quote. My guess is that LA County is so large geographically and so densely populated (and has the greater majority of illegals) that the statistics there natuarally reflect this disproportionality.

As soon as Davis is recalled, Arnold WILL bring the businesses back and DELIVER the state to Bush in 2004. Bank on it. ANY state where Republicans can win 62% of the vote statewide will be IN PLAY for 2004. Thanks to Arnold we can seriously contest California next year and put it in the Bush column. You'll see. All you anti-Arnold hates are sooooooo ignorant. You may not like his stance on social issues but what we need now is a FISCAL conservative who will CUT, CUT CUT spending and govern responcibly. Arnold's gonna open the books, cut the pork, fire the Democrats, appoint rock-solid libertarian-conservative officials, reduce government largesse, and SAVE our state!!!!

Mark my words, you wacko McClintock voters, come 2006 California will be the national leader in entrepreneurship!You just wait and see!!!! You guys will be eating crow!!!!

ROFL! You got most of it in there.

One of my favorites was the contention that, with Arnold, you get the same fiscal conservatism as you would with McClintock.

Yah... right!

[SierraWasp]

By golly! You been payin attenshun!!! (snart!)

"If you went with his way of thinking, you would never rebuild California," the governor said

I'm so glad to have a governor who thinks we're so stupid that we can't remember the endless "infrastructure" bonds or gas taxes for roads or the buttloads of money for the schools IN WHICH THE MONEY NEVER QUITE SEEMED TO MAKE IT TO THE "REBUILDING" IT WAS INTENDED FOR.

[nickcarraway]

Yes, he was wrong. He never should have recommended "yes" on the levee bond.
