Well, I don't think I need to accept a small group of individuals projecting the blame for their personal failures, cynicisms, fiancial chaos and dismal prospects for life health and happiness onto Arnold Schwarzenegger, George W. Bush or any other politician or geographic location.
Fix your problems in a smart, systematic political way or stifle (aka s-tee-eff-u). Opposing Arnold Schwarzenegger, ignoring the real beneficial leverage he provides, garners no positive return.
The anti-Arnold crusade here is phony and asinine.
My advice. Know the facts before entering into conversations. Take a moment. Review the last few California budgets. Examine what's happened in California since the beginning of the Wilson administration. Examine the effects of the Bush administration's policies on California's economy and its fiscal challenges. Understand the rapidly changing nature of the demographics in California and their effect on the political culture.
Statements that suggest Schwarzenegger didn't create this mess by himself or hasn't the authority to unilaterally cut spending aren't helpful to your personal credibitly or your party's credibility and aren't productive in solving our state's problems.
And BTW, Freepers who stand on street corners and protest are shaping America's policies whether the expression is beneath your dignity or not.
