Now California Republicans can proudly watch as Arnie and his recent best friend and backer, Ken Lay, sweep any possible indictment for Enron and up to 6 other energy utilities under the carpet putting an end to any possible recompense for the charge fraud perpetrated against the state and its residents to the tune of 9 billion dollars.
With a deficit of 38 billion to fix, obviously the cult of celebrity is more important to the state's electorate than seeing big corporate interests and their elitist protectors at the state and federal level held accountable.
Bravo California, landslide victory for Arnie, landslide hopes for a viable state recovery.
Ah the power of spin and corruption in my beloved nation.
How much pain must be endured before the unquestioning masses awaken to the manipulations of the elitest neo-con machine?
Congratulations! :rolleyes:
Let's see how long he lasts though. He's not particularly loved by the Republican Party anyway as he 'outrageously' believes that gay people should not be put to death or that abortion is a matter of choice.
Still, I keep getting the impression he’s a sandwich short of a picnic. After the pretty words die out he will need all the help he can get from advisers if he is to attempt to run office. But what sort of advice will he get?
How obviously unscrutinising and easily gulled are republican voters apparently. But then many of them undoubtedly think there is no connection between California's economic woes and those exaccerbated by the vodoo economics of our irresponsible federal administration.
Ahh let the blindness roll on, countrymen. Be interesting to see who Republicans choose to blame for further downslides before they finally wake up and smell the duplicity of their own party.

I like Arnie as an actor in action hero movies, but to elect him state governor seems to be, quite frankly, a piss take!
I am glad some of this Republican policies aren't quite as radical as the Republican party in general (as someone said his views on gays and abortion have been toned down) but who knows what he really believes and what he said to get elected? :crazyeyes
I've read that the American voters can be divided into two solids and a "undefined". Which means that there are two about equal groups of democrat and republican voters, who no matter what will vote for the same party. The ones who actually make the difference are the "undefined". Therefore you'll have to conclude that it is a varied group of Americans and not only Republican voters who voted for Schwarzenegger.
Who knows what any politician believes?
I haven't heard of any politician who has laid his/her cards completely out in the open. And either way, no one knows why he got elected as he has never really argumented for how he will get California out of the economical mess it is in. Just that he will do his best.
For instance, On the environment: "Don't worry about that."
Well, I'm fucking worried, I don't know about anyone else.
Yes, it is true. Democrats have run the state of California in to the ground with their socialists programs and over taxation. The people of California have spoken, enough is enough.
What you fail to mention that Republicans seized in excess of 60% of the vote (Between Arnold and McClintock) in a heavily Democratic state. The conclusion would be that many Democrats deserted their own party.
Even the leftist rag the LA Times threw their weight behind a failed Governor and his policies by conducting a smear campaign against Arnold just days before the election. (Talk about spin!) The electorate of California rejected this for what it was, an attempt by the media to influence the outcome of an election.
For the record Clandestine, I would not have voted for Arnold myself. My conservative principles would have put me squarely behind McClintock.
You may want to do a little research on the Ken Lay - Bill Clinton connection. Bill was in bed with Ken in the Lincoln Bedroom of all places.....
Enlighten me. Exactly what energy crisis is that?
Funny, I live in America and I am not aware of an energy crisis
I suppose it depends on whetehr yout hink having New York and half of California blacked out for nearly a week is a crisis or not :rolleyes:
So let me thank the voters of California. Perhaps this had something to do with the way they voted?
Funny, that is the exact reason you won't be aware of any energy crisis. :rolleyes:
You may notice that I reserve comment on the national issues regarding the UK.
My knowledge of your nation’s internal matters is admittedly limited relative to an individual who lives there. I choose not to look like a fool speaking about matters I know little about.
Advice you would be wise to heed.
bit like having frank bruno as chancelor of the exchequer in the uk?
Keep in mind that this one state, California, is the sixth largest economy in the world.
