Here's an example of #72:

Prodded by union supporters, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will provide $3.8 million in the state budget he is scheduled to sign today for a University of California labor think tank he had targeted for elimination.

The funding for the Institute for Labor and Employment, based at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Berkeley, dismayed critics who contend it promotes unionization that increases business costs.

During last year's gubernatorial recall election, critics accused the institute of training union members to oppose the recall. Institute officials, who were unavailable Friday, denied the charges.

Do you think Schwarzenegger creates the firat and only final California budget with an Excel spreadsheet on Maria's Purple IMac their Malibu bungalow? He SIGNS a bill that is budgeted, appropriated and funded by the elected California Assembly and Senate and subject to review from the California Supreme Court.

Did Arnold envision, shepherd and codify this particular $4 million expenditure personally? Of course not. He signed a damn budget with a lot of wasteful spending directed toward offensive programs, groups and people. Welcome to the World.

Unless you have some evidence that the Governor ... not legislative appropriators ... bowed to the influence of the union goonery I'm thinkin' this is just another example of folks desperate to assign their injury and grievence to ... oh ... ANYONE BUT THE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE.

That's no longer acceptable in honest discussion. We're at war for our survival, and this campaign against RINOs (i.e. any Republican who can be elected in a liberal State) is stupidity, subversion and a non starter.
