Schwarzenegger to GOP: Put Aside Ideology [bashes Mark Sanford, open to bank nationalization] [RINO]
ABC - This Week with George Stephanopoulos ^

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger repeated today on "This Week" that he'd take any state aid money GOP governors like Gov. Mark Sanford, R-S.C. turn down -- a position that has raised the ire of many of his Republican colleagues in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
"Governor Sanford says that he does not want to take the money, the federal stimulus package money. And I want to say to him: 'I'll take it.' I'm more than happy to take his money or any other governor in this country that doesn't want to take this money, I take it, because we in California need it," Schwarzenegger said.
He also suggested his party's ideological opposition to tax cuts isn't always tenable.
"I think that the Republican Party or any party has to always think, when you make a decision, 'Do I want to make a decision that's based -- that's best for the party? Or am I a public servant and have to serve the people, what is best for the people?'" he said.

Yeah. Put away your ideology and become a political whore. It’s all about the money! Money is all that matters.

Straight out of the commie playbook. Commit a crime and then accuse your victim when the Sheriff shows up. Ahnold the Socialist and his bunch are the ideologues.

Sure, Arnold, you IDIOT, go ahead and take it along with the many STRINGS attached that will help you get in a BIGGER mess than you are now!!!
Just the unemployment benefit has a provision that you must pay unemployment for temporary workers who are unwilling to take permanent jobs! That could create a whole new class of deadbeats!

Proving that steroids do affect the reasoning center of the brain, the Jerkinator never stops to consider that everything done by government is not best for the people.

I think the most important thing is, how do we create stability in this country?Well, obviously you don't know how to bring stability to the country if you didn't know how to bring it to California.
Ha! In your face!

Only people who don’t understand finances should be against bank nationalization. The banks have themselves to blame for making risky loans. 90% of banks are stable because they did not get greedy.
There is no good reason why Citi & BAC should not be nationalized. Once all these BAD banks are taken out, Wall Street will actually do better because the uncertainty will be removed.
