[Reagan Man]

>>>The politicians have the solutions before they know the problems, statesmen find out what the problems are and fix them.

Not true.

Good politicians like Ronald Reagan, went in with a detailed plan and specific agenda. And to be a statesman, you first have to be successful.

So far, Arnold has given no details or specifics on how he would balance the budget and exactly what programs he would cut. He also hasn't ruled out raising taxes. I don't consider Arnold a fiscal conservative.

>>>Sure we all want are illegal vehicle taxes back, but that ain't gonna fix the overspending.

I suggest you take a look at Tom McClintock's website. he gives specifics on a wide range of issues.

McClintok says, a 9.5% cut in spending over an 18 month period, will balance the budget with no tax increases ... " accompanied by a comprehensive review of every state agency and program now on the books".... and he wants the "constitutional spending limit ... restored".

I like McClintock's economic plan. Its conservative and fiscally responsible. McClintok also has a plan to address the car tax, Cal's energy problems and the issue related to workers compensation.

At this point of the campaign, any conservative who supports a liberal like Schwarzenegger, needs their head examined.

Nice summary. This is Oprah soccer mom politics at its worst. Say a few lovey dovey things on the TV and track the polling data afterwards to see what worked. No substance whatsoever.

Yeah, well, Arnold's gonna appoint a committee after the election.

"Good politicians like Ronald Reagan, went in with a detailed plan and specific agenda. And to be a statesman, you first have to be successful."

Really? For a ReaganMan, you have a remarkably faulty memory.

January 12, 1984

The Honorable Ronald Reagan
President of the United States
The White House
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President,

Following your directive to identify and suggest remedies for waste and abuse in the Federal Government, the President's Private Sector Survey (PPSS) offers recommendations which would save:

$424 billion in three years, rising to

$1.9 trillion per year( by the year 2000.

Bring back any memories?

Arnold has totally outclassed his opponents vote pandering gimmicks by suggesting that professional accountants review the budget before deciding on what needs to be done to reduce spending.

McClintock wants "a comprehensive review of every state agency and program now on the books"? Does that mean that he to thinks its a good idea to find out what the problems are first with spending? I'm confused by your reasoning, is this a good thing or a bad thing.

And to be a statesman, you first have to be successful."

I can see what you mean, Arnold hasn't had a lot of success in his life....

At this point of the campaign, any conservative who supports a liberal like Schwarzenegger, needs their head examined.

Of course, I think any conservative who supports anyone but Arnold needs their head examined. Voting for anyone else is a vote for Bustamente, and a continuance of the status quo.

Will you vote for Arnold when Tom drops out and throws his support behind Arnold?
