Listen, I’m not an Arnie apologist. I despise the guy as much as I do any witless, destructive, liberal politician.

You and I just have differing recalls about what he attempted to accomplish in his first days in office.

From what I recall, he started off with every intention of bringing some sanity back to Sacramento, but soon caved in to the non-stop pressures of the leftist moonbat establishment.

He’s now fully re-aligned as little more than a liberal Democrat governor with an R behind his name. Arnold is worse than a failure. He’s a disaster.

Whatever.

If you could recall anything other than "they were good props" I would happy to refute your assertion that they would have made anything better, point by point. Unfortunately, you cannot/will not do that so there is little reason to discuss the issue.

He’s now fully re-aligned as little more than a liberal Democrat governor with an R behind his name.

If you looked at his actions, going all the way back to Prop 49 (before he was elected), his environmental platform (published before he was elected), his public comments about his father-in-law, and many other things, you would find that he was always aligned with the liberal Democrats. Now he is just more honest about it -- but still refuses to remove the "R" from next to his name.

Arnold is worse than a failure. He’s a disaster.

Agreed.

That was the pitch. He was lying.
