Arnold's position is that we basically have to assimilate those who are already in the state. Nothing about deportation and yet he says it isn't an amnesty. Also his reliance on the judge's decision about Prop. 187 is assinine. Using that logic, we should have agreed with the 3 judge panel that halting the recall was correct.

I'm not in California although I am a native Californian so this race interests me a great deal. I hate all the McClintock bashing, especially by Sean Hannity. However, I do fear that McClintock cannot win the governor's race as it stands right now. If I had to vote, I'd probably have to hold my nose and vote for Arnold.

Amazing, huh?

He completely mushed-mouthed through the illegal immigration segment. What I heard plainly was that he won't make an effort to resurrect Prop 187, "a federal judge settled that, and I would continue with that decision and move forward."

He then said he supported the McCain bill (I was not familiar with it) on the subject, and he lost me. Something about three different visas to be made available to illegals, consisting of:
1. A temporary work visa
2. To those here (illegally) before August 2003, a permanent work visa
3. This one became unintelligible. Something about "They have to earn their way in! They have to earn their way in!" ????

He stated to Sean that he didn't support amnesty, "it didn't work before." Unfortunately, his program (?) sounds just like amnesty, in practice if not in theory.

So, like I said earlier...P.U.

"I'd probably have to hold my nose and vote for Arnold."

Like I did for his campaign chairman, Pete Wilson, who proceeded to screw Counties with glee, annoint the GANG-GREEN activist and founder of the American Farmland Trust, Dougie Wheeler to Secretary of the CA Resources Agency, and clobber CA with it's biggest tax increase in it's history while calling Tom McClintock and other Assembly Republicans "Bleeping Irrelevant!"

The repercussions of that nose-holding vote required a severe "nose-holding" for YEARS!!!
