Schwarzenegger Pledges to End Acrimony With Democrats

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the bodybuilder and actor turned politician, promised to call the leaders of the Democrat-controlled legislature to convince them they must work together to cut spending and close the state's $8 billion budget deficit.

Schwarzenegger unseated Governor Gray Davis in a recall election yesterday. Both men pledged to cooperate during the transition after an election campaign that included allegations by 15 women of sexual misconduct by Schwarzenegger and charges of incompetence and ``terminating hope'' by Schwarzenegger's campaign against the incumbent Davis.

Baghdad Bob Mullholland doesn't want the acrimony to end with the democrat party.

Arnold may want to end the BS, but I guarantee the dims will not play the way he wants.

[eureka!]

Smart move. Arnold is liked. Let Bob continue. Voters don't like attacks on those they like and trust. It's working for W...

[dead]

He should worry more about ending the acrimony with conservatives.

[Let's Roll]

Unless it's rope a dope - the public has just witnessed the smear campaign to end all smear campaigns. It's a given that the dims will continue to dig their hole deeper by obstructing, accusing etc. Arnold seems to be practicing the new tone.

[pgyanke]

Does this mean Conan's going to try the "new tone"?

[hattend]

Hmmm...the same famous words that came from Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott and George W. Bush over the years.

They all got kicked in the teeth, I wonder why Arnold thinks he can get them to follow him.

Cave, thy name is Republican.

..modeling his administration on the life of a self-taught Malibu naturalist who tried to end acrimony with Grizzlies.

Arnold is sooooo naive.

[Redleg Duke]

Oh, For God's sake, give it a rest!

Talk about the "Nit-Pic-Pac"!

The best way to do this would to be announce that the problems are so severe there is no time to waste dealing with the Dems, and simply submit everything he wants to do as an referendem item at the next election. Tax Cuts, wholesale elimination of agencies, spending reductions, a complete house cleaning. Put it up for the citizens vote. If it fails...then bankrupcy.

I suspect Arnie's handlers will let him in on that fact. However, it's always good for public consumption to make these kinds of conciliatory statements.

Here's to hoping AS doesn't mean it. They'll kick him in the teeth first chance they get.

[AmericaUnited]

Don't worry about Arnold. He's not a wuss and can take care of himself very well.

[hattend]

Give what a rest? Stop learning lessons from past performance?

You obviously don't agree that everytime the Republicans have reached their hands across the aisle they have had it bitten off.

BOHICA, baby

[Redleg Duke]

What I was trying to tell you was that it is a time to celebrate. Tomorrow the war goes on.

You must be a Puritan. You know the definition of a Puritan, don't you?

A Puritan is someone who is desparately worried that somewhere, somehow, someone is having a good time!

Lighten up, for cat's sakes!

[hattend]

I had no idea the Puritans were democrats working for the ACLU and the teachers' union.
