VIDEO: Arnold Schwarzenegger shares energy policy ideas with Diane Sawyer.
The following is a partial transcript of the exchange (see video)
• World News asked California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger about the clean energy policies that he says are his legacy
• Does he think the nation will join in his conviction?
SCHWARZENEGGER:
"What would help is if we now are successful in beating back the Texas oil companies, the same players that have been there for decades, ruining everything -- you know -- trying to burn and get rid of our light rail in 45 cities.
"And so now the important thing is that we push back, we fight (?) back Proposition 23, and by doing that it will be one of the first times in a long time where oil companies and the rich people that have polluted the world and have enriched themselves by doing that have been pushed back.
" And with that momentum we need to go to Washington and say "look what happened!"
" You, because the oil companies spent money against you, they have threatened you, you backed off energy policy and environmental policy in Washington.
" What wimps. No guts.
" Here you idolize and always celebrate the great warriors, our soldiers, the men and women who go to Iraq and Afghanistan. They're risking their lives to defend this country and you're not even willing to stand up against the oil companies? I mean that is disgusting!
" You promised the people to represent them. You didn't promise to represent the oil companies -- and the special interests."

It’s over Ahnold.
big, bad, evil oil company boogie man. Let’s all go green so we can start breeding horses to ride after we go broke. What a putz
"... it will be one of the first times in a long time where oil companies and the rich people that have polluted the world and have enriched themselves by doing that have been pushed back."
Mr. Shriver, you are a perfect example of what a disappointment. Go away.
Mr. Shriver, you are a perfect example of what a disappointment looks like. Jackass.
Good Lord, yes.
"... it will be one of the first times in a long time where oil companies and the rich people that have gotten mom and the groceries to the market, the kids to the doctor's office, and kept grandma from freezing in winter, and have enriched themselves by doing that, have been pushed out of business for doing so."
What an idiot.
AW HA, if the “BIG OIL COMPANIES” are beaten back...he wouldn’t be able to fly his little jet back and forth from LA to Sacramento each working day. Oh..forgot...arab oil, they’re ok, it’s big American oil.
And don’t forget the “rich people that have polluted the world and have enriched themselves by doing that.”
Coming from a jet-setting Kennedy that belongs to a family who has long lived off the public dole, and relative of RFKjr who is making it rich living off solar energy subsidies, it is almost humorous. Almost.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Dear Governor Shriver, UP YOURS, You are nothing more than a Marxist little girly man who pretends to be a real man in the movies. You should be ashamed of yourself, but your self delusion of your own importance prevents you from thinking clearly. If you were to actually go out into the Public, you would find that the vast majority of Americans hold you in the same light as Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin, petulant little man child hellbent on Marxist and Communist ideals. But hey you willfully married into the leadership of the Communist Party. PS, Have you ever asked your Wife why her Family DIRECTLY SUPPORTED ADOLF HITLER, personally and financially??
