Arnold Schwarzenegger: "The Republican Al Gore"
Salon.com ^ | 3/15/07 | Andrew Leonard

Posted on 04/05/2007 9:41:25 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger, really? According to Joe Knollenberg, a Republican congressman from Michigan, he's "kind of a Republican Al Gore." That's what Knollenberg told Fox News' Neil Cavuto on Tuesday night.

What's Knollenberg's beef? The congressman represents a district north of Detroit. Among his constituents are the Big 3 automakers. The Big 3 are feeling pretty nervous these days -- on Wednesday the chief executives of GM, Ford and Chrysler appeared before the House Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality to lobby against tighter fuel economy (CAFE) standards.

Knollenberg has decided to carry their water -- by attacking California. He spent $10,000 of his own money to put up a billboard on I-75 that reads "Arnold to Michigan: Drop Dead." Schwarzenegger's efforts to mandate higher fuel economy standards, says Knollenberg, will cost the U.S. auto industry $85 billion. The ecofascist California liberal must be stopped!

Every time I tell a Rino fund raiser to inform their candidate to show at least a white stripe down their back instead of a yellow one I wonder if it helps or hurts the party. I see today the funding is down for the Pubs so maybe they will get the message....

Any debt of gratitude any conservatives felt they owed Darrel Issa for financing the Ripped-Off Recall with over a million dollars is now null and VOID!!!

Issa was one of the three stupid Republican knot-heads that accompanied Nancy Pelosi Galore over to Syria!!!

Well, Jenny... She had three Republicans over there with her dumbass and one of them was our own Darrel Issa who funded most of the Ripped-Off Recall election!!! (Ripped off by the big celebrity dope and all his swooners!)

Issa is the same scum bag that claimed McClintock "promised him" that he would drop out of the recall election and continuously trashed him in the media. Tom's response?
"That is flatly wrong," McClintock said. "Winston Churchill would call it 'terminological inexactitude,' because the word 'lie' was disallowed in parliamentary debate."

Issa is a slimy weasel with a checkered history. He and Pelosi deserve each other.

"And Arnold has at least a passing acquaintance with sanity."

"At least?" Don't you mean at most? At least from a CA Republican's perspective?

Please ponder my tagline and tell me that saddling 25 million acres of eastern CA with another non-representative governmental body that Gray Davis vetoed TWICE, is not proof of total "liberal""insanity!"

This Republican make Demonicrats Gray Davis and Al Gore look like GovernMental EnvironMental amateur activists!!!

You must not be paying any attention to make comments like you're making!!!

"It’s like conservatives are offered two choices, Bad and Worse and then have to cheer for any little victory and still get slammed for asking for another helping out of turn.."

Well.. That's exactly the way all of rural/red voting America has been treated ever since another RINO Governor of CA (Earl Warren) lead the SCOTUS to rule that "Cows Don't Vote!" (aka "One Man, One Vote!)

The balance of representation between metro-sexual areas and rural-sexual areas in state legislators has been ruined ever since!!!

We've had three Republican Governors of CA that have been total political hermaphrodites... Hiram Johnson, Earl Warren and Arnoiled Schwartzenfrauder!!!

"He and Pelosi deserve each other."

Granted!!! My point remains, we don't deserve either of them in CA public elected life!!!

It also proves that either Muslim, or Arab electeds have truly divided loyalties in the current war on the civilized world and it's Judeao/Christian traditions and power!!!

I'm referring to that MN Muslim as well!!!(Just to be bi-partisan for fun and profit)

i reckun the fight has been sucked out of most folks when I see some comment on the thread as they do.

FR 'hits' are down 27% in the last 3 months. The ilk now own this place and you're welcome to it. Your impotence is now even greater. Thinking people don't need ranting fools.

The chickens will be home soon to roost and the cows won’t be far behind.

Yea but when the cows jump up on the roost, the whole thing will come tumbling down. Let's hope anyway

Give him some credit. He's one of the few liberal Republicans that has the cojones to show up in the day light after the eggs are broken.

That doesn't mean he can avoid his just deserts, or your deserved wrath, but do give him some credit. I prefer him any day to our little, liberal, Republican cheerleader who scurries around in the shadows.

For the credit he is due, fine but he could have done a lot more and didn’t and still won re-election and had greater sway in moving the state back rightward, but I also find it hard to believe the dems could outspend him, even as he has tied the hands of his own party to a great degree to rein in his other agenda items which only further erode the turn-out of a lot of good decent folks that used to look to the CA GOP for leadership and a sane direction and not one of “Post-Partisanship” and piles of debt like none ever seen before.

There is a BIG difference between Ahnold and Al Gore. One of them knows how to speak English.

There's another: Al Gore has an Oscar.
