Out here in Commiefornia, our universally loathed Governator Ah-nuld Kennedy-Schwarzenegger has finally decided to live up to his campaign promises after almost six years in office!
You can read the entire article
here, but here’s the most important sentence in the entire article: “
In addition to cuts, Schwarzenegger and Republican lawmakers also want reforms to welfare, pension, health care and in-home supportive service programs.”
“Schwarzenegger and Republican lawmakers”. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen that phrase in years, if ever. For his entire administration, the idiot Governator’s done nothing but side with the liberal Democrats controlling Sacramento in criticizing and chastising the state’s Republicans – as lame as they are – as obstructionist to making policy. This is the same Governator, by the way, who originally campaigned – as a Republican – on his promise to lower taxes and “blow up the boxes”.
Now, after six years in office spent trying to control “climate change” – and after signing into law in February the single largest tax increase in the country’s history – it seems this cretin has finally found religion.
If he’d taken this kind of stance at the start of his administration, and vowed to veto any budgets that included tax or spending increases, this state wouldn’t be in the fiscal morass it finds itself, with no money to pay the bills even after the massive tax increase, forced to issue IOUs to pay those bills, and with an additional post-tax-increase shortfall of over $20 billion.
In other words, if he’d spent his time actually doing the job the people had elected him to do, instead of trying to save the planet.
The really laughable aspect of this guy is that he truly believes the country’s Constitution should be amended so he can be elected President. I’m serious!
Now… will he have the cojones to actually stick by his guns? Only time will tell, but his history as Governator is that of Girly-Boy, not Terminator.
No wonder his approval ratings are as low as those of the guy he replaced in a recall election.
