I'll be voting for Arnold but I still consider myself a McClintock supporter first.
No Arnie, you're wrong on bonds, but I'll hold my nose and vote for him. God help us in this state. The libs have trashed it.
Arnie should shut the heck up and go with the flow. Real conservatives know he is wrong on the bonds and wrong on his cooperation with the leftist loonies in the legislature. Despite that we are willing to give him the vote to keep Angelides from power. Arnie is short term stuff. Mc Clintock is our future.
Arnie needs to enjoy the fifteen minutes we so generously have given and are giving him.
The phrase in the post "with california's population continuing to grow", prompts me to quote from a best-selling book which reveals CA's dirty little secret:
"The Golden Land is no more.An exodus comparable to that of the Dust Bowl in the 1930's has begun.For the first time since the Spanish came, native-born Californians have begun to depart. Fed up with rising crime rates and rising taxes to subsidize illegal aliens, they are leaving for Arizona, Nevada, Idaho...as the California they grew up in and loved morphs into Mexifornia.
Census 2000 revealed what many sensed: For the first time since statehood in 1849, European Americans had become a minority in the Golden State.
Sociologist William Frey documented the outmigration. 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."
The quote continues to outline the economic, social, and cultural disasters proceeding apace in CA.
Arnold and McClintock are arguing about the deck chairs and not seriously dealing with the iceberg that looms directly ahead!
"With California's population continuing to swell.." Take a wild guess...What is the real reason for California's growing population?
ahhnold is plain wrong... $20 billion for transportation infrastructure is in theory a good thing (at least in my mind). but $20 billion in trains no one rides, air quality monitoring, increased security for ports already run by the chinese, and complex interchanges to mitigate bottlenecks (and create new ones half a mile down the freeway) is just plain dumb. We need more lanes, more runways and fewer demands on the budget for crap we don't need.
What a way to try and cut the legs out from under somebody.
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.
Yes, he was wrong. He never should have recommended "yes" on the levee bond.
