You misquoted me in so far as I haven’t mentioned his initiatives. Furthermore I don’t support him in any way and actively work against him. I disagree with him every bit as much as you. My guess is you too voted for Arnold as did I. Unless of course you’re are the type that takes your marbles and goes home when you don’t have a horse in the race. It is our duty to vote and I’m guessing you both agree with that and that you didn’t vote for Angelides. I fight as much or more than the average bear, mostly with my check book sad to say. Please do not subscribe these views to me simply because I’m being realistic. A realistic appraisal does not mean you don’t carry on the fight. If my assessment depresses you that’s fine, it does me too, but don’t interpret that to mean I’m part of the problem. I am capable of recognizing the lay of the land and simultaneously putting out the effort. I can understand the strategy that we all should be more positive (cheer leaders if you will) regardless so as to motivate, etc., however I thought this was a place to discuss reality and not worry about weaker souls needing a boost. Yes I thought Arnold would not be as bad as he is and I would challenge you that I don’t think even his worst conservative critics expected this.
Start here: An Analysis of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Environmental Policy. That's just one set of issues; I wrote on a lot more. I knew this man for the talented liar he's proven to be.
My apologies. I attributed a post from someone else to you, incorrectly.
Furthermore I don’t support him in any way and actively work against him. I disagree with him every bit as much as you. My guess is you too voted for Arnold as did I.
No. I never voted for him and never would. I have said from day one that Arnold would be more destructive than any other candidate--and he has been. His liberal agenda was laid out in a platform during the Recall election--some just chose to ignore it and not heed the many warnings laid out in article after article, thread after thread.

A realistic appraisal would not suggest that Arnold has been better than Gray Davis, either for the State or the Republican Party.

You don't think that I am suggesting cheerleading, do you? I much prefer honesty and facts. Cheerleaders are what helped get us into this mess.

I'll ping some folks to that challenge. Perhaps you weren't reading the threads during the recall. Many, many freepers predicted the exact scenario we have now. Many articles did the same thing. In fact, most of those freepers that promoted this Trojan Horse have been banned as trolls promoting liberalism.
I am one that did here on FRee-Republic and I financially supported his opponent. There were many flame wars with the crazies that supported him but his start power carried the day...
