Arnold S. is ANTI-UNION and anti-Native American
Why does Arnold call unions "those guys" ... "I'm not gonna take money from those guys." But, he has no problem taking all kinds of money from the wealthy and business interests. Good to see that he's gonna be a "Governor for the people" and be the "Peoples' Governor." He now doesn't like working people, so I guess he meant he'll be the "wealthy peoples' governor" or "Governor for the Wealthy People."

that's about all I need to know about the idiot.
_______________

from an ABC story:

>>>Also Thursday, Schwarzenegger's campaign said it was returning a $2,500 donation from a law enforcement union that ran counter to Schwarzenegger's pledge not to accept donations from Indian tribes or unions.

The donation from the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs was listed on campaign finance records posted Wednesday, but the Schwarzenegger campaign said the check came unsolicited through a volunteer and was never cashed.

"Before it went into our account we realized that there is a conflict of interest there, that we really don't want to take any money from unions," Schwarzenegger told a press conference.

Schwarzenegger is accepting money from wealthy donors and businesses, but not unions or tribes. Explaining his position, he told the AP, "I don't have to sit with those guys across the table and negotiate. With the Indians, with the gaming tribes, you do. With the unions, you do."

1. Wow.
Arnold is becoming quite adept at showing his true colors.

I don't have to sit with those guys across the table and negotiate.

Sure, he doesn't...on second thought, he is probably correct - he would probably get right to the business of handing California to them on a silver platter - no negotiations necessary - just as the rest of the country has been parcelled out by his friends in the White House.

4. that's what's scary
Arnold says he surrounds himself with all kinds of good advisors and that after he listens to them, he makes up his own mind.

Ronald Reagan used to say the same thing, and we ended up with Iran Contra, and having hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed and murdered in Central America.
