It means the have no opposition.

It means a Republican Governor will implement their leftist environmental policies and liberal social agendas.

[EggsAckley]

PING

[My2Cents]

Some variation on the charge that the Republicans have again stolen an election.

Of course, the question is, how can one steal an election by means OF an election? The Dems have been making this case since before the recall qualified. The voters didn't buy it leading up to today; they won't buy it tomorrow or in the following days.

BTW, how does one pronounce "meme"? Me-me? Meem? Mem-ay?

[My2Cents]

Are you going to pound this dead horse from now until there's nothing left of it's bloody pulp? Not even Freepers (the majority of them) bought this gloom-and-doom line. For the love of God, give it up!

[pankot]

God willing we may soon hear the tocsin heralding the end of the Democratic (RAT) Party as we know it. And with it the scum (you fill in the blank) that abased it. Gone the way of the Whigs. And good riddance to bad rubbish.

[AmericanMade1776]

How can one steal an election, if nearly a 70 Percent turnout in voters participation shows clearly that one candidate has a win by a HUGE margin over another. I hope the Winner, wins big, so big, that the democrats will look even more "unbecoming" (word used by Mitt Romney to describe his democratic opponent Shannon O'Briend) than they usually do.

"Meem."

[tallhappy]

It's accurate. Schwarzenegger has a leftist environmental policy, supports domestic partnerships, refuses to oppose race based categorization among many other things.

As far as gloom and doom. The Dems are going to do a lot more than complain.

It's going to be something.

You guys are drunk now, but your hangover will come.

Republicans rely on written rules and the judges who enforce them.

Democrats rely on unwritten rules and the judges who invent them.

Great lines from Mr Hewitt

[thoughtomator]

Doh! I thought it meant they get their suppport for their whole agenda without even having to elect a Democrat.

[curmudgeonII]

Think Alexander and Thebes.

But there's a difference here. When I think of Alexander conquering Thebes, I think of the Thebean Sacred Band. Come to think of it the 300 man Sacred Band was all homosexual.
Maybe there's not such a difference after all.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

the Democratic addiction to rhetorical rage and the politics of personal destruction has quickly spread far beyond patient zero, Bill Clinton.

Funny that (R)nold Shill # 1 uses that Democrate to blast these days...Actually a few have cut him in line, when will Hugh get the recognition he deserves!

[good_ole_texas_boy]

AMEN!!!!

[good_ole_texas_boy]

AMEN!!!!

What great lines! Profound!

As Brad Paisley's country tune goes (slightly adapted):

Chorus- "Cause when you're a Celebrity It's adios reality [or in Arnie's vocab, Hasta la vista, baby] You' can act just like a fool FREEPERS think you're cool Just cause you're on TV. I can grope some major {rhymes with fits} When my softball lobs aren't just how I like it They say I've confessed, Still I'll blame it on the press, And the pressures that it goes with Being a Sac City Celebrity uh huh

"I get to cry to Barbara Walters, When Things don't go my way. I'll get community service in Sac City Doin' Time for Unregistered Sex Offender Crime

"I'll make the Washington ComPost They'll write some awful stuff But the more they run my name down, THE MORE MY PRICE GOES UP!

Chorus- "Cause when you're a Kennedy'd Celebrity, It's adios reality. No matter what you do, People think you're cool, Just cause you're on TV."

Arnie's a bit more liberal than John F. Kennedy & Bobby Kennedy ever were...and only a little right of Teddy.

I'd like to excuse this hoodwinking of CA away by blaming it on the Halloween disguise Auhnold's been wearing; but I can't. Arnie's a social Democrat dressed up in Republican garb...but it's not like Auhnold has donned any mask...
