California's new LIEUTENANT Governor 2B? Who & How?

[Xthe17th]

Assuming Grayout IS recalled, and all indications look like he will be, how will the new Lieutenant Governor of California be determined?

If the newly elected governor gets to pick, here's a win-win situation in the making:

• Arnold knows he needs the conservative base to defeat Boostyertaxes. I.e, he knows he needs some of McClintock's voters.
• Also, Terminator knows he doesn't have any idea how to accompish his big talking feel-good agenda. Senator McClintock has the plan and the relationships in the legislature to make it happen.
• McClintock knows that if he doesn't win, he'll be the pariah of his party as a spoiler. So, rather than being a 3-time loser, if he works a deal with Rnuld to put him in, his political future is still potent.
• Result: Arnuld agrees to pick McClintock as his Lt. Governor in exchange for Tom withdrawing late this month and throwing his support behind the Governator. Schwartzenegger also agrees to implement at least most of McClintocks reforms.

Rnuld will have the fat pud doing 500 sit-ups and spending ALL of his time in the gym

Let's take your arguements one by one:

Pro-Abortion... He believes, as the law states, that it is a woman's choice. As governor I doubt that he can change the USA law.

Pro-lavendar... Well I am assuming you mean that he believes that all American should be treated equally; I don't think that is a big problem.

Anti-gun - Yep, he seems to be.

Pro-tax and pro-spend - That is not true. He has stated his postion on that as follows:

Repeal the Car tax increase

Appoint an outside auditing group to root out waste and corruption.

Enact a Consitutional Spending Cap

Immediately attack the $8billion spending gap with Cuts not Taxes

Restruction the $29 Billion inherited debt.

Establish English as the official language of the US. Now I doubt that would have any say in that, but it's nice to know.

"Rnuld will have the fat pud doing 500 sit-ups and spending ALL of his time in the gym just so as to stay out of his way. Hee hee heee! "

You are right Rob.

Only exception .. if Cruz gets elected. I haven't read up on that because the thought of it makes me ill.

I have heard him say over and over again the he does not support illegal aliens coming over the borders into our states.

Schwarzenegger told Sean Hannity that illegal aliens already here should be allowed to stay.

Since the recall is of the governor, not the Lt. Gov., why do you think there'll be a new Lt. Gov.?

[ridesthemiles]

That EXACT set of circumstances was brought up just before all the petitions were certified on one of the local talk shows!!

[Roscoe]

it is a woman's choice. As governor I doubt that he can change the USA law.

There is no such USA law.

The Lefties never resign unles you go in there and yank them.

I just wish all you CAL FReepers good luck -

[LisaAnne]

Okay, Supreme Court ruling.. I don't think any governor will be able to overturn that.

[LisaAnne]

I don't agree with his stance on illegals staying here, but apparently that is the thinking of George Bush too.

[Roscoe]

Okay, Supreme Court ruling..

There is no such Supreme Court ruling. Roe v Wade set forth a trimester standard for legislation.

[LisaAnne]

oka, no governor is going to change that.

[Roscoe]

And Arnold would gladly sign legislation expanding the availability of abortion on demand, such as lowering the standards for who may perform abortions or increasing the availability of abortifacients.

[LisaAnne]

You should not make statements that you cannot back up with facts. He has never said that, it's pure speculation on your part.

[Roscoe]

***On Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor," on Aug. 16, 2000, Schwarzenegger described himself as "extremely liberal" on social issues, and said: "I'm for choice. The women should have the choice. The women should decide what they want to do with their bodies. I'm all for that."***

Because he is for a woman to have a choice does not mean that he "....would gladly sign legislation expanding the availability of abortion on demand, such as lowering the standards for who may perform abortions or increasing the availability of abortifacients" You are assuming.

There are many Republicans that believe a woman should decide if she wants to carry the baby to term. The alternative is back alley butchers and clothes hanger abortions. We as a society have already beeen there, and I don't think we want to revisit that.
