"The man is an immigrant himself. To say he's anti-immigrant is Orwellian," Walsh said. "The only person talking about wedge-issue politics is Cruz Bustamante and the Democratic Party."

Arnold cannot out-pander Bustamante for the Hispanic vote, but I suspect he will try. He is likely to show greater sensitivity and deference to liberal democratic Hispanics than he does to the Republican conservative base.

Arnold has already hinted that he will press for amnesty for illegal aliens.

No new taxes

No new immigrants

Some new refineries

Many new nuclear power plants

Many new jobs

Many new pipelines bringing oil ashore.

Pledges a new California governor will one day use to get elected.....BIG TIME!!

It's not too far away.

My thought exactly.

"Until he sits in those shoes - and I don't think he's going to have a chance to - he's really in no position to criticize what we've done," the governor said.

By that logic no citizen should ever criticize any officeholder. Davis' dream come true.

"The fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger has surrounded himself with the people that he has and the fact that he has refused to take a no-tax pledge leaves me very concerned about the future of California if he's elected governor," McClintock said on CNN.

It doesn't seem to concern the Howard Jarvis foundation. They just endorsed Arnie. For a guy who thinks he's a horse, Tom sure likes to beat this dead one.

I assume that's Bush he plans on pressing? Bush has already hinted he plans to give it to them.

McClintock, a popular figure among the state's conservative voters, continued his assault on Schwarzenegger for refusing to rule out a tax increase to help balance the state's budget.

This was hardly an assault. LOL McClintock was merely pointing out the truth and something Arnold has freely admitted. Oui, oui!

Remember these are the same folks who endorsed Proposition 49 which is an expensive, off budget, part of the cradle to grave system.

Just another liberal group who borrowed the name of populist revolt leader.

>>>Bush has already hinted he plans to give it to them.

You've got evidence to back that up with, I'm sure. Right?

The fact is, things have changed since 9-11 and PresBush better understands that American's in overwhelming numbers don't support any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

I reference the last time, PresBush publically commented on illegal immigration. Here's the link, Bush says he won't legalize immigrants

And here's PresBush`s statement on the issue:

""I don't think the wish of Americans is for an amnesty," said Bush

Okay thanks --- I didn't know Bush actually said he wouldn't give amnesty.

According to Davis, NO ONE who has not been Gov can criticize him. Cute. OK then, Pete Wilson, who has been Gov, should be able to criticize him like crazy, and since Wilson is advising Arnold, that validity should pass through.

Watch the Bush position change in early 2004. These current politico's are in so far over their heads they don't know where they stand at any given instant.

I don't think so.

>>>These current politico's are in so far over their heads they don't know where they stand at any given instant.

I disagree with you. I'd say PresBush has shown remarkable leadership, is a first class CIC and a smart and savvy politician to boot.

That's not true. Arnold said, on Hannity's show, that he absolutely ruled out a tax increase to balance the budget. He did say that he couldn't rule one out in case of a devastating earthquake or terrorist incident. McClintock shouldn't need to distort Arnold's statements at this early point. It might tell me something that he thinks he does.

I heard what Arnold said on Hannity's show too. He didn't take the NO tax pledge, that both McClintock and Simon took. A NO tax pledge means, NO tax increases! Period. California is in total meltdown and the last thing for a new governor to do, is raise taxes.

The twin pillars of fiscal conservatism, are cutting taxes and cutting spending. That's what Arnold should be talking about and in some specific detail. Arnold said, he will realease NO specifics and NO details of his economic recovery plan for California. That's bunkum!

Arnold is NO conservative. He's a liberal.

Gov. Gray Davis jabbed at Schwarzenegger's

Now that is the good ole Gray. He loves to sling mud, smear, jab, poke... anything so that he does not have to defend his god awful performance.

Have you checked out Arnold's new political website? He has a plan and you decide if he's still a liberal. I love what he ripped off from Tom. I'd like to see him steal more of it, LOL!
