and the sad part about it is that we still have another two and half years of RINOld...
and by the time RINOld leaves office, he'll leave such a royal mess that it will be practically impossible to get another “R” elected dogcatcher much less governor anytime in the near future!!!! I say, lets recall this liberal just like we recalled the last one...maybe we can get it right this time!

ALL, and I do mean ALL aspects of your life would be controlled if liberals had their way.

They currently, demonstrably, support no individual freedoms unrelated to sexual behavior, but once they do control all the other aspects, they’ll go for that too.

And just how much ELECTRONIC COMMUTING is Ahnold encouraging in kaalifornia?

If all a state employee’s department needs is a WORK PRODUCT, set him up with a computer and a broadband connection and let him work at home.

Sounds like a good plan for Ahnold as well.

Someone please remind me - Schwarzenegger is a Republican in what way? Or is it just the letter next to his name for election convenience?

Oh, he's a Republican. He's just not a conservative.

The two used to be more closely aligned. No longer.

Hey! The POTUS, a former oilman, recently announced in a state of the union speech that we ARE addicted to oil!!!

Furthermore, Arnold, a RINO, announced at the 2004 Republican National CONvention that he believed in a whole long list of stuff that actual conservative Republicans have believed in!!!

You can't anchor your political/economic beliefs to what either of these two eels have ever said, nor to what the current lame-ast uncandid candidate is saying!!!

It's really hard to be a loyal Republican these days when the leaders have just flat ignored the Party's Platform!!!

My nose is developing severe gnarly caluses from holding it everytime I vote anymore!!!

“Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Friday that politicians who suggest that lifting a ban on offshore oil drilling would ease rising fuel prices in the United States were “blowing smoke.”

Energy expert, Ahnold Shwartzentootie said.

These idiot politicians have no frigging idea of the fire they are playing with on this issue.

The days of “we can’t do anything about this” are over!

Someone should tell these warmist cult members that biofuels produce CO2 too.

Not that I advocate biofuels (they're extrodinarioly inefficient, waste water, and deplete the soil), but they take CO2 out of the atmosphere while they're grown.

So yes, biofuels release CO2 when burned, but it's only CO2 that they took out out of the atmosphere when they were growing. Therefore, on net, aside from any fossil fuels you might have burned to harvest them or distill them, biofuels are carbon neutral.

Exactly. Saying we’re addicted to oil is the equivalent of saying 19th century Irishmen were addicted to potatoes.

“It’s ridiculous to call our use of oil an “addiction.” This is sloganeering at its worst. We are not more “addicted” to oil than we are “addicted” to food.”

Exactly, I can't stand the idiotic talking point on this as an “addiction”.

Oil and the petrochemical industry have basically made the incredible advance of modern life possible in this country. These idiots think it's just something you put in your car. Oil is all around us in virtually everything we come in contact with and depend on daily.

Would this be a good time to say “Don’t blame me. I voted for McClintock?”

“Schwarzenegger says feeding oil addiction no answer “

What’s Arnolds plan?

A person can choose to stop smoking or taking heroin. Can we choose not to drive to work? High prices undermine the health of our economy.

Using “addiction” as a propaganda tool is elitist.

Oh... dang. I was thinking it was less than that.

I've tried to just tune him out, but the muck keeps rising to the surface.
