Schwarzenegger sees economic boost in gay marriage ruling
Sacramento Bee ^ | May 20, 2008 | Kevin Yamamura

Posted on 05/20/2008 7:54:18 PM PDT by calcowgirl

In the wake of the state Supreme Court's recent legalization of gay marriage, the Republican governor said Tuesday in San Francisco he wants gay couples to flock to California for wedded bliss.

"You know, I'm wishing everyone good luck with their marriages and I hope that California's economy is booming because everyone is going to come here and get married," said Schwarzenegger, prompting laughs and applause.

The governor appeared at an Environmental Defense Fund event ...

The governor reiterated that he opposes an initiative backed by conservatives to ban gay marriage in the state constitution.

These are people who refuse God. Their lives get ruined and they turn to Government. Government will lose every step of the way. Regardless of the laws passed, those without discipline will fall down.

David Dreier was the worst. Of course, he probably loves Arnie's positions.

And then there was this cheerleader:

If his invitation isn't a warning for moral people to flee, then nothing is.

Matthew 24:37-39

37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:26-29

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Lauren, you send me the name of that place your friend works at and I’ll personally go check it out. If it’s as bad as you say, I promise you I will take care of it. I’m serious. Somehow, I don’t believe it.

You'll have to ask Ahnuld. (Seems he's had a change of heart about girly-men).

Arnold’s always been unprincipled. Alot of people didn’t want to see it though.

That’s what happens when you put the ‘R’ before everything else.

I’m sure he likes the gay marriage part of Arnie’s calleeeforneeya. Drier that is.

And let's not lose sight of this:
>>The governor appeared at an Environmental Defense Fund event ...

Arnie's environmental platform that he posted on his website back in 2003 was written by Robert F. Kennedy, jr. who has long been tied in with the NRDC, Environmental Defense, etc. Arnie's global warming stance was included in that document, along with his 25 million acre land grab (the Sierra Nevada Conservancy), Hydrogen highways, regulating oceans, rivers and just about every darn part of our lives.

I haven't gone through it recently, but I would bet that he is accomplishing just about every leftist action that he outlined there. Arnie also hired a bunch of leftists as senior advisers to help him institute this (See keywords Bonnie Reiss or Terry Tamminen).

The fact that some people still want to call this man a Republican is really disgusting. It's not like folks were not warned. Carry_Okie posted a very long analysis of that platform exposing it for the leftist dribble it was.

An Analysis of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Environmental Policy
Note--many of the same things he was promoting had been vetoed by his predecessor(D).

I'm all for conservation, but this stuff comes straight out of the Communist Manifesto.

I didn’t know about that one. The first time I remember Geraldo was the special on “The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vault.” Wow—that was a winner! LOL.

I didn’t mean to send it to the Geraldo types. But maybe a SacBee or SDU-T that might do some investigative journalism. Occasionally, they rise to the occasion.

I think the places Lauren describes are not the norm, although I did read about some of those horror stories. I actually went to the State offices and viewed the complaint/investigation files on a couple of these places. There are many good places operating in California. If there are instances as she describes, it just stains the whole lot. Exposing them and getting them cleaned up should be a good thing.

All those years of steriods have finally melted his brain.

It was always suspect that a 'republican' married to the liberal Kennedy clan was just a democrat in disguise. Once he got into office, his true colors appeared. He's worse than Grey Davis.

Yeah, Arnie, tell that to God when he pushes California and it’s married gays into the ocean. Economics is the last thing he should be worried about. Doofus.
