meanwhile in CA- new (R)Gov finds out He's not up to job

[Capn Sunshine]

Now that Bushco has gotten a R into California, you aren't hearing much nationally about what the gropinator is doing. Arnold has found that, according to many Wall Street bond experts ( like ME) that his "FIRST MOVE" as govinator--"Opin da buuks" has revealed that there's not much difference from the dire situation caused by the Enron rape as portrayed by Gray Davis after all.

Further, his chief centerpeice promise "repeal the Car Tax" may cause Wall Street to cut off any further financing to the State due to the 4 billion shortfall it would create immediately. In other words, its probably on hold for the duration.

..."you can't expect me to walk into his office and all of a sudden come out with the answers." The gropinator was qouted as saying after his meeting with the states chief financial officers, including outgoing gov. Gray Davis.

Hey, Arnold, wasn't your sunshiney pie in the sky campaign based on exactly THAT? :grr:

"Assemblywoman Jenny Oropeza (D-Long Beach), chairwoman of the Assembly Budget Committee, said it was clear from Schwarzenegger's campaign rhetoric that "he did not have a grasp of what the dynamics were."

"I'm not surprised at his alarm," she said, "because there are problems between what he has promised and what is realistic."

1. Is any of their "sunshiney pie in the sky campaign"

based on reality? Especially arnie's!

Thanks for the report, Capn Sunshine!

[Capn Sunshine]

6. This means that things could still blow up in their face

If the big happy guy finally becomes the joke on the people we expect hi to be ( hence the recall effort, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RecallArnold/

This is going to just play really badly for Bushco. By next Summer the Iraq mess will be toxic, the economy will be showing little improvment ( despite their attempts to huzzah the fact that maybe the bleeding has stopped) and CA will be teetering on the brink caused by partisan ineptitude and deregulation.

November wil not be pretty for Bush, or Arnold.

[fob]

22. You can't be referring to "open da books" campaign claptrap

when the budget is a document in the public domain for any/all to see. Hell I think it's even posted on the web!

P.S. - I have a female coworker that said she supported "Ahnold because he was going to open da books and figure everything out AFTER he was elected." I pointed out that I was agaijnst Ahnold because he has no plan. She said, "Everyone has a plan, they've had plans before, what good is a plan, at least he's gonna open da books and THEN fix everything" (Not an exact quote - but the gist is solid).

THAT'S why Arnie is goobernator today. Bullshit sloganeering for the masses.

[Richardo]

2. This is great: he will still be flailing around this time next year,

...and workin out of San Berdoo. Great object lesson on what a Repub gov't will get you.

[frylock]

3. there will be no honeymoon period for this POS..

I want results, and I want them YESTERDAY mofo!! If he doesn't start coming through with all the bullshit promises, his ass is grass. There are already people here preparing for the next recall, just like those SOBs did in November '02, after Davis had been re-elected.

[wryter2000]

4. hahahahahah

I can't wait for the idiots' outrage when they still have to pay the car tax.

[frylock]

8. you and me both..

cause whan that happens, and I'm gonna be front and center, right up in there ugly little grills, reminding these folks just how fuckin stupid they truly are!!!

[twilight]

9. yep ... idiots

and here is one to view ...

Check out my post on Gallegos now running on this forum!!!



:dem: :kick:

[arcane1]

10. they'll just blame it on the libruls

and the sheep will graze it up

I'm just wwaiting for the moment this imbecile decides to sign off on that Enron settlement.. there will be pitchforks and torches in Sacramento on that day!!

:grr:

[Bandit]

26. Why Sacramento? ~ The Groponater won't be there.

He'll be hiding out in San Bernadino saying "whoaa, Nobody told me we owed so much money"

[dkamin]

30. enron

i thought he had already put that in motion, settling for tenths of a penny on the dollar of the $9b Davis was seeking. don't think it was formalized yet, but certainly underway, no?

[catzies]

34. I was next to a "Stop the Car Tax!" petition table last Sunday

I worked an activist table at the Thousand Oaks street fair.

The same damn bunch of idiot fellow Californians who elected Der Gropinator stood in line to sign that stupid thing. The guy with the clipboard asked me if I'd sign and I said "No, I'm okay with it, it only costs me pennies a day and I like what it pays for." Most people who signed it didn't even know what it really means.

Bet all those idiots all drive huge SUVs festooned with American flag sitckers they bought on the zero-percent financing deals since 9/11/01.

This activist with the paid-off Honda Accord that gets great gas mileage and has very low emissions is just fine, thank you very much.

[ronnykmarshall]

5. Let it hit the fan!

Arnold's not going to be able deliver any of his promises. I can already hear Gov. Davis laughing in his condo here in WeHo.

[realFedUp]

7. He might discover things aren't that bad

either.

[Capn Sunshine]

12. HUH????

[rucky]

11. "Hey Cruz...

Vat does eet mean ven zee numbahs are in parentheses like zat?"

[Homer12]

13. The Californa budget deficet is nothing a good hard punch, a...

...missle launcher, and a large broad sword can't fix.

This is what he promised, isn't it.

[ShaneGR]

14. Anyone see him invite Davis to dinner yesterday?

After their meeting the microphones caught Arnold inviting him to some swanky restaraunt. It was kind of amusing.

BTW, I think Davis could score some HUGE points if he actually tried to help the poor shmuck.

[niyad]

15. I loved his comment to the effect that he only plays an action hero

in the movies, and people cannot expect him to perform as such in the governor's office.

yet, that is exactly the image used in his campaign. pity the voters were too stupid to realize it

[Demobrat]

19. Um, excuse me.

People voted for an action hero, and that is exactly what they are entitled to expect. Suck it up Arnie. No sympathetic film editors here.

[radwriter0555]

16. He can't repeal the Wilson-installed car tax. That would require the

state legislature overturning a state LAW.

Failure #1.

[twilight]

18. yes thank you!

and YOU are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! This whole "recall" was nothing but a power grab and now its turned awfully ugly and NO Gray Davis isn't going to tell Ahnuld anything to help him out.

The ball is in your court now gropenazi!!!!



:dem: :kick:

[cyclezealot]

24. We really need this bumper sticker. !

Has it been printed yet.. ? I want one.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

17. Silver lining: Thanks for a media-genic right wing target of criticism.

After a few days of denial and depression over his apparent election, I rebounded to a 'bring it on!' kind of coming to terms with the situation.

We now have a constantly media-covered target for criticism of repub policies. What a gawd-send! Yes, a steaming reeking pile of amurican civic dysfunction right out in the open, not sublimated and hidden from view. Local news orgs that haven't had a correspondant in Sacramento for years are sending one now.

Every one of his public appearances should have people drowning him out with cries of "MOLESTER!" for his repeated assaults against women and his collusion with Ken Lay's economic rape of California with energy billing fraud.

[Capn Sunshine]

21. Speaking of Ken Lay

Is he in jail yet?
:grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

[niyad]

29. kenny boy hasn't even been charged with anything yet.

[bobja]

20. I saw Davis and Arnold on TV yesterday

They came out for your typical photo shoot after meeting together, and Arnold looked quite nervous. Guess he just saw the books and realized the mess he's got himself into.

Good thing he has Wilson on his staff! Hahahahaha!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. The budget was online prior to the election, doesn't Arnold have internet?

Waiting to get flamed for being an elitist but fuck him and the stupid morons who voted for him.

MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS
MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS MORONS

The only solace I take is that most of them rent their homes from the bank...I own mine free and clear with no second mortgages....wonder how much I can rent them a room for when they can't afford their home anymore :evilgrin:

STUPID IS AS STUPID FUCKING VOTES

[catzies]

35. I love that, NSMA!

Flame me for elitism too.

STUPID IS AS STUPID VOTES.

I love that.

[Mountainman]

25. Davis is sitting on his yacht in Marina del Rey when the phone rings

"Hey Grey, A'nuld here, just needed a little advice"

[Clete]

27. So when do we recall him?

Nothing constructive will get done in California with Republicans in the White House and Congress, nor with Jabba the Arnold in Sacramento, so why don't we just become political trolls and disrupt every chance we get until we turn the government back to the people?

33. I will.

I need some time to figure out the site. I am already registered for Yahoo. Good idea. Let's do it.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Did I mention that stupid ignorant fucks voted for him?

And a handful of REAL GREEDY REPUBLICANS who knew he wouldn't talk if Pete Wilson was drinking a glass of water.

[Capn Sunshine]

32. Not all of them were stupid ignorant fucks

some were
REALLY REALLY stupid ignorant fucks.:grr:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

36. Yes, let's blame those of us responsible enough to stay informed

and motivated enough to go get educated for being elitist. It's not as though we don't have one of the best state university systems in the nation.

STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,STUPID, LAZY,on and on and on.

But whatever you do, don't tell them they are STUPID and intellectually LAZY, because that might alienate them whilst they lose everything THEY have worked for under the weight of their own stupidity and LAZINESS...

37. Muscleman Put In Charge Of World's Fifth-Largest Economy

SACRAMENTO, CA—Political observers are struggling to understand exactly how, on Oct. 7, Arnold Schwarzenegger, an Austrian-born, movie-star muscleman with no political experience, was elected to govern the state of California, the world's fifth-largest economic region.

"We're a bit baffled as to exactly how this happened," said David Gergen, director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "Poll results show that the strongman received 1.3 million more votes than the next candidate—that much is clear. We just can't determine precisely why people believed that the bodybuilder was qualified to lead the socially and economically complex state of California."

http://www.theonion.com/3941/top_story.html

[opihimoimoi]

38. Certainly defies LOGIC

Why??

Why did he appleal to so many??

The perception of him being a solver/winner. Never mind this perception is the result of Movies/Fantasy/Fiction.

Its the Human Mind. We are addicted to excitemnt, adrenelin rush. etc. Arnie is perceieved of as excitement. The Bushemante guys did not understand that. Did a dull campaign.

[Clete]

39. So why isn't anyone demanding a recount and

an explanation about those uncounted votes from liberal precincts? Also, why isn't the Onion concerned about his sexual crimes. Shouldn't some law enforcement agencies be investigating this and maybe bringing up charges?
