Thats why I don't support Arnold who says he's going to raise taxes.

"We must never again commit Sacramento to mortgage our children's future to unconstitutional deficit spending. We must immediately attack the operating deficit head-on. Does this mean we are going to make cuts? Yes. Does this mean education is on the table? No.

Does it mean I'm willing to raise taxes? No."

Arnold Schwarzenegger

And of course you offer no proof for your blanket statement. Instructive.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Arnold would not make separatist appointments for the next 12.5 years. Any other questions?"

Whatever that means (especially the "12.5 years" part). How will a Gov. Busty achieve his dream of a separatist entity, as I asked before ? I'm very interested to hear.

[ConservativeMan55]

Arnold should drop out of this race now before he is forced to by plummeting poll numbers.

[Democratshavenobrains]

Uh, DU is peeing in their panties about facing Arnold. McClintock isn't even on their radar.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Btw, Arnold is still, an empty suit.

*Compared* to the extreme leftist Davis, McClintok or Schwarzenegger would qualify to be members of the vast right wing conspiracy.

Either one would be *HUNDREDS* of times better for the great state of California, than the little communist Davis.

I would settle for either one! Would I like McClintok better? Yes. But again, if forced, settling for Schwarzenegger is many times better than Davis.

It's like comparing Bush to Barney Frank. There is no comparison.

[ConservativeMan55]

Arnold has said that he WILL raise taxes. Period.
He said he will. Thats all there is to it.

[ConservativeMan55]

McClintock is in second place. He'll be in 1st by next week. Arnold is the one that the Dems want to be elected.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Uh, DU is peeing in their panties about facing Arnold."

Wrong bodily fluid, and it's out of excitement, not fear.

The ruling party in Sacramento has a lot of power.  They influence everything from state office apointments to NGOs to Unions to government workplace policies and public opinion.

As the state becomes more overrrun by Mexican nationals, those nationals are going to get more rights from the separatists.  Today it's access to public education, healthcare, college discounts and driver's licences.  Other states have already broached the idea of illegals voting.

The reasoning behind this goes something like this.  If they are here contributing and not getting any of the benefits, they should at least be able to vote.  Hey, I know it sounds crazy.  Crazy or not, it's coming.  Whether they will be able to put this into effect in national elections or not, a hell of a lot of damage can and will take place in local and region elections.

If you think the NAACP equivalents LaRaza, MALDEF and other organizations won't push this, your wrong.  These orgs already demagogue every issue.  And soon they'll convince those of Mexican ancestry that they aren't getting a fair enough shake commensurate to their numbers.

"If only you'll vote to break California off into it's own state, you'll be much better off.  You'll be the masters of the fifth largest economy in the world."  This isn't a hollow scenario by any means.

Those of you who choose to overlook this reality are going to pay the price.

DU is peeing in their panties about facing Arnold. McClintock isn't even on their radar.

Why should they be worried? McClintock's supporters are simply doing what DU wants them to do - trashing Schwarzenegger so they don't have to spend the money for TV time to do so themselves.

A vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamante.

[habs4ever]

California needs to roll over its debt, and the restructuring of their obligations require someone with Buffett's cache to mollify lenders, and RESTRUCTURE.Arnie also has Marty Anderson,Mike Boskin,Larry Kudlow, George Schultz as advisors too.

Don't let the shadow of Buffett scare you out of your wits.

[DoughtyOne]

I explain the reasons for my comments on this thread, which is more than you have done.

[strela]

Arnold has said that he WILL raise taxes. Period. He said he will. Thats all there is to it.

Then it should be easy for you to produce a quote from Schwarzenegger where he says that. G'wan, I'm waiting.

[habs4ever]

Make that a SMARTER Freeper than thou opines, chum.

Smile, when say that, too.

[DoughtyOne]

And if McClintock's polling is 5 to 15% on election day, tell us who that vote will get elected.

[Democratshavenobrains]

So thats why they have gone into full demonization mode for the notorious RINO Terminator? They have condemned him to full Bush status, complete with saying he's dumb and a Nazi. Even losing to a RINO is anathema to the extreme lib Dems. Most of them even think Bustamante is a RINO for daring to go against Grayout's wishes.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Arnold is much more liberal than Bustamonte.

That is a completely ridiculous statement.

[DoughtyOne]

Congrats: That's the most reasoned arguement you made today.

[Reagan Man]

The final decision to vote for Arnold will be in the hands of you Californian's. Should McClintock drop out, I'm sure the "big-sell-out" will be in full swing. But don't be surprised if many conservative Republicans decide to stay home on recall elction day. The conservatrives I talk to in California, support McClintock, or supported Simon and don't want to vote for a liberal RINO like Arnold.

[deport]

Who will the FL gov. speak kindly of? Any guesses? Will he make an endorsement?
