Why not. I'm all for it.
Why wait? He can't run again anyway.
Ahnold has lost his way since the special ballot election to vote on his three propositions. His propositions were right on. McClintock’s own analysis showed they were good proposals. However, leading up to the special ballot, instead of leading the conservative charge to kick out the unions and “blow up the boxes” as only Ahnold could do, he began backing down. In the televised debates, he refused to debate with the opposition. After his proposals lost, he’s instead joined the opposition and has been further and further off the track ever since. I hope he gets booted out ASAP.
Not that myth again, please. Arnold’s leftist turn took place long before the special election. Remember Prop 57/58? Or not supporting the Ward Connerly bill and calling folks “right wing crazies”? Or proposing the largest budget in State history? Or embracing Gray Davis’s other borrowing schemes?
As to the propositions, they did little to attack the real problems in state government. His so called “spending cap” authorized more borrowing and deferred expenditures, which would have enabled him to spend even more! The campaign was totally inept, attacking and insulting every group from which he needed support! His support of the parental notification initiative was mediocre, at best.
Arnold doesn’t have a conservative bone in his body. He’s a special-interest Kennedy tool that thrives on power, nothing more. He’s the same Arnold he was the day he was elected.
Reading those, you get the impression that Mr. Arnold sees himself as operating on a far larger stage...guess that nasty birth clause for president gets in his way...
We're not going to let that one pass either. The sign says: Revisionists Not Welcome.
Few were fooled by the Austrian. The Senator was not among that distinct minority.
He got permission from the speaker of the house...
He refers to California as a “nation state” and has said his job is to “prepare us for our global future.”
Whoever recruited this guy for office should be shipped to Gitmo.
I agree. And McClintock was put in an awkward spot... having to support supposedly "Republican" positions or get stomped on by the CRP. Unfortunately, they stomped on him anyway.:-(
I am happy to see that starting to crumble. Acknowledging the reality of the Trojan Horse is a tough, but important, first step.
Sorry, I can't seem to find that authority listed in my copy of the Constitution. Did the speaker happen to specify just which article grants her that authority?
yuk, yuk, yuk!
beware austrian weight lifters who want to save the world.
EXCELLENT!!
As always, thanks for the ping.
The Constitution? That old parchment serves merely as a guideline.
Pelosi's office could not be reached for comment.
My first question would be. How were those subjective conclusions expressed by the Senator?
My next question. When did the Senator offer his opine regarding the Governor's motives? Or his relative morality?
What special insights about morality and sincerity enable a professional, politician to judge the character of his brethren.
I did say that these were just my opinion. They were not derived from any specific words of the Senator. I believe that he did look for the positives within the agenda to be supportive (I think we saw that many times in word, and deed), and tried to be supportive of those items. I believe he was less skeptical than many of us, as evidenced by many of his same gestures. Do you not like to take a man at his word? It is *my opinion* that that is what Tom was trying to do.
As much as everyone tried to paint Tom as a rigid idealogue, he was much too pragmatic under the circumstances. Again—my opinion.
Thanks for the McClintock Pings!
Amen, Tom is a treasure and a man of integrity and courage, but I’m being redundant...
