The Grop'nator Showing True Colors
From vetoing bills restricting outsourcing to denying a raise in minimum wage and now to this today. Of course, he is still keeping his $337,000 contribution from the pharmaceutical companies but slammed the dems during his campaign for taking special interest money from labor unions. I think that "girlie man" act is wearing pretty thin in CA-especially when you have seniors struggling to afford meds. What next-"Don't be a senior girlie man" ?

Isn't it time we started making intelligent choices on our politicians
instead of a "who's cool" contest?

3. Ahnuld has been exactly what I thought he'd be
Pete Wilson's sock puppet.

10. Thankfully, when its reelection time
Ahnuld will have a record to defend, and that record will make him look like what he is: a big business, big money republican who snookered the voters.

Sort of like Bush.

6. He also vetoed the car buyers bill of rights.
what the hell is up with that. Why do i suspect the car dealers gave him a shitload of money? I hope the morans that voted for him are kicking themselves.

11. Sigh. This is why I supported Schwarznegger running for governor. . .
in a regular election, so the people would get the opportunity to see him as more than just a matinee idol. In the recall, everything happened so fast and there was very little time for the truth about him to sink in (or, in his case, ooze out). So instead, decisions were based not on who had the best ideas for the state, or who would represent the people best, but on images and beliefs that had nothing to do with reality. A good portion of those who voted for Schwarznegger voted for the genial guy in Kindergarten Cop, the resolute fighter in Predator, the happy go lucky buffoon in Twins, and had no concept of what a conniving, easily manipulated sock puppet he has proved to be. Mores the pity. Unfortunately, it's my State that has to suffer.

12. Why is it not called Bribery instead of lobbying?
ANY other place in the world, outside of our government, it would be called for exactly what it is!

13. Time Magazine says he's coming to Ohio to pump for Bush...I say:
Bring it on!

This elitist asshole has never had to work a day in his life, so naturally he takes that well-reasoned GOP approach to our economic problems: blame the little guy!

Outsourcing jobs, vetoing the minimum wage and now banning Canadian pharmacueticals...Arnold will go over like a turd in the punchbowl here in Ohio.
