I think Cheney and Halliburton are probably pulling the strings at Diebold. You know, like how they are controlling the billions spent on Iraqi reconstruction, only to enrich the greedy fat cat republicans, and on the New Orleans cleanup. A key piece of the VWRC which The Beast is standing up to.
ROTFL!
Thanks, I needed the laugh you just provided.
New York gave us Schumer and Hillary Clinton.
Anyone care to try and top that?
We New Yorkers are the best at everything, even when it comes to being the #1 worst. :-)
Pinging anyone from Massachusetts, who can give each of you very vigorous competition.. ;-)
Wrong. Arnold won in CALIFORNIA because he sold himself as a FISCAL CONSERVATIVE, not a RINO.
Had he not lied and obfuscated his true liberal intentions, he would have lost. Those who vociferously supported him are now calling him a liar. Had they wanted a RINO, they would be applauding his efforts.
Thanx, I try, but with all the BS out there, it is difficult keeping a smile on my mug.
I am in good humor today, having just watched the video of the guy getting tasered at the John Kerry event...
Hey, when your number two, you try harder....and smell worse.
No surprise here, and I always said Arnold was the only kind of Republican (RINO) that could win in Kalifornia.

Hmmmm. I’d say he changed after getting his butt kicked politically on those three propositions he campaigned for.
Bottom line is your state can’t right itself with the majority on the ‘left’ side of your ‘boat’.
I have relatives in Ohio and they arn’t happy with their blue state.
Ohio, RINO’s Lib Dems and corruption.
I have been to Ohio and if you like arm pits, rust belts,
and hicks, that is the place.
San Diego is the largest city in the U.S. with a Republican Mayor. 3 of our 5 congressmen are Republicans including Duncan Hunter.
‘I have relatives in Ohio and they arn’t happy with their blue state.

No denying this one at all, I’ve noted the same in this and other forums repeatedly.
“I have been to Ohio and if you like arm pits, rust belts,

Okay, I’ll ‘play’...(chuckle)
I have been to Kalifornia and if you like HAIRY ARM PITS ON WOMEN, Spandex Belts on Men, and Gays, that is the place.
Checkmate.
When you compromise and elect big government statists with an R next to their name, why are you surprised when you get a big government statist with an R next their name? Remember that this time around in the Presidential election.
Then you haven't examined the record close enough. He has been governing as a LIBERAL since long before his propositions failed--and the proposition that he tried to sell as a "spending cap" was anything but (it just authorized more borrowing).
Bottom line is your state can’t right itself with the majority on the ‘left’ side of your ‘boat’.
Bottom line--our state can't "right itself" if out-of-staters and Rockefeller Republicans jump on the "Best you can do" bandwagon and help sell the electorate on the likes of Schwarzenegger.
BTW, the distribution of registered voters between left and right is not much different than it was when we elected Reagan (R), Deukmejian (R), and Wilson (R). So much for that theory.

Do tell! What part of Kalifornia California do you choose to hang out in? And WHY?
“I really thought this is a guy who is NOT a career politician, and would stand behind his principals”
The pattern for Arnold is clear.
Personal success in all things Arnold.
His principals went out the door after the special election for all his propositions was such a disaster.
He is a huge disppointment in his caving in after that.
The choice we know now was jumping off a cliff with democrats or walking off the cliff with what morphed into a major rino.
Hopefully the next Governor will be an actual republican.
I have hope that if anything Arnold removed some of the fear Californians seem to have for voting for a republican in this state for a Governor, even if Arnold is a rino, it may help the next guy win.
All I can say is good luck to you in your efforts. I don’t see it, given your state is a magnet for the left of the political spectrum...but I hope you can in fact ‘right’ the state.
and Gays, that is the place.
Don’t care for their life style but know many who are republican and also in the military.
