Taxes is taxes - ‘Bipartisan’ statism [CA Schwarzenegger]

“We say no to more taxes. No to more government spending. No to more government control.”

I just went back and read the article for comprehension, rather than speed. This Arnold Schwartzenegger quotation from that CA Republican CONvention should be shoved up his and every diehard supporter's differential repeatedly until it is remembered by rote repetition!!!

I mean over and over like someone repeated that he's a "girlyman" on this thread!!!

[SierraWasp]

Can we get our hands on a video tape of this adamant quotation???

[SierraWasp]

Wouldn't a tape of this quotation make a marvelous YouTube videoclip? I sure think this needs to be found an stored in a safe place for the up-coming Recall campaign in 25 months, or less!!!

"I don't know why it took some of us so long."

It can only be that I am more reasonable than the rest of you...

[SierraWasp]

"He followed that up with this rhetorical red meat: “We say no to more taxes. No to more government spending. No to more government control.”

Now study this MASSIVE juxtaposition!!!

“We say no to more taxes. No to more government spending. No to more government control.”

Now! Somebody tell me precisely how much time passed between these two dicotimus and fallatious statements in major speeches... We are dealing with one of the greatest decievers of our time, people!!!

[SierraWasp]

Oh shoot! The second section of that last reply was supposed to quote this from the article!

One wonders whom he meant by “we,” a group clearly no longer including himself. His first two speeches of 2007 — his inaugural and state of the state — became an orgy of calls for more taxes, more government spending, more government control.

SW... am I to conclude that you are not pleased with the progressive direction of our global commonwealth? As a citizen of this great nation state, are you having a problem accepting the concept of shared responsibility? Remember, we are the modern equivalent of the ancient city states of Athens and Sparta and Arnie just wants to use the power of Sparta to encourage the free market to overthrow the old order?

[ccg... now ducking for cover....]

Yes. That must be it! (slaps forehead!) :-)

[SierraWasp]

Well it just proves you're a leader! Way out there in front of us all, leading the way out of the wilderness of the new liberal leftist Republican Governor who's misguiding all of CA!!! (just don't forget to look back every once-in-a-while to make sure we're still followin you. We're all a pretty independent bunch of conservative thinkers, ya know)

[SierraWasp]

Well ya see, I ain't go no use at all for either Governors or Judges who look for now-a-day answers way back in time, before the scientific method was even heard of, before gravity was discovered, before the dark ages occurred and even before Christ, all the way to the Roman Emporer Justianian, or even before that to ancient Greece to come up with these ignorant jewels!!!

No money. Just Beer. Unfortunately, it's Austrian. ;-)

Hey, When in Rome, party like the Romans. ;-)

"Way out there in front of us all, leading the way..."

Not in front perhaps, but not all that far behind either...

methinks his knowledge of history is a bit thin,, even Kirk Douglas and the Spartans fell short on the field of battle if I recall my movie history much less real history correctly.

[calcowgirl]

Well, I don't remember my ancient history, but some of the stuff on the net is enlightening. By the way, those phrases on using the power of Sparta were direct quotes from his State of the State address ;-)

Athens, with its free speaking democracy, allied with many smaller city-states to form a powerful rule. Sparta, with its strong military, conquered many lands and forced them into submission.

[SierraWasp]

Well, I guess we could all be advancing abreast!!!

[SierraWasp]

Of course then, we'd all hafta start wearing brazziers, right? (snort!)

The purple line is my cut at the new Sierra Republic

[SierraWasp]

I like it! I love it!! I want somemore of it!!!

[Paloma_55]

One might consider taking one or two liberal districts into the fold just so that we could torture them the way they have tortured us for years...might be fun.
