I know the rest of you states are jealous so lets see the vitriol.... I know how you feel so don't hold back.... I was really jealous and depressed for a while when that weird liberal state voted for the wrestler for gov.

Well, as a citizen of that weird liberal state, I can state catagorically that Jesse "the body" Ventura was without doubt, the most useless governor Minnesota has ever had. He didn't do jack.
I hope Ahnold does more for California than Jesse did for Minnesota.
-
To be honest, he can't be any worse than the last 2 from Texas.
-
really? ventura didn't do anything? well... that's not the best but its far better than doing harm...
ol AHHNIE allready did a huge amount of the right thing... he repealed two very repugnate laws... My way of judging a good official is by how many laws he repeals... the more the better.

I think lazs has a point about doing minimal harm. Our current NV governor is doing a much worse job than an inflatable doll would do.

That is exactly my point. we would be no worse off if we filled all the government offices with inflatable dolls... because, some laws and taxes would simply expire thereby improving life. no new laws would be passed thereby improving life. We would not be sujected to soundbites unless we inadvertantly used on of funked's dolls but... "put it in me big boy" and "oh I don't think I can take all of that" would still be an improvement.

How could Kalifornia get any worse? At least he's good for a laugh...good on ya.
-
Whats next, New York voting for Bono just to compete?
-
Or puerto rico voting in freddy prinze Jr for govenor:aok
-
I don't get it....
he leaves his homeland to make another for himself.....to try and better his current life....
he comes to the US and becomes MR.UNIVERSE....he worked day in day out to become that.....all standards for becoming Mr.Universe where laid down by Arnold.
once his career of body building is over.....he becomes 1 of the most paid and viewed individuals in the world by making movies....
he has alot of BALLS....more then most of any of you rutabagas on these here boards....including me
don't let the accent fool ya.....he has come a long way.
he takes up a new challenge.....HELP his community
I bet he succeeds...like in everything else he's done
-
slo... I think most people in CA. are happy about him making it.
I just think that all the other states are envious because they are still stuck with the big hair televangilist/news anchorman models for their govs.

I heard on NPR yesterday that Ahnold is going to do the same exact thing that Davis was going to do to get California out of the red....namely, borrow his way out. Is that true? If so, how does that make him any better than Davis?
Sounds to me like since Ahnold is going to do the same thing that Davis was to get out of the red, the only difference is that Davis would've had to borrow only 8 billion, whereas Ahnold will have to borrow over 17 billion, since he repealed those car taxes.
So, California Republicans are ok with borrowing that kind of coin as long as it's a Republican Gov doing it?
Got it.
-
From memory, cause I don't feel like googling. Ahhnold became rich from a very successful brick laying business he ran on the side while training for Mr. Universe. He is a brilliant businessman as well as a mediocre and overpaid actor. He just might make a dam good Gov.
-
Don't be too pestimistic about Arnold, - He has succeeded with most things he touched so far.
I wish him good luck.
-
the first thing arnie did was recind the horrific automobile licence fee that davis put in... vetoed it on his way off the podium from being sworn in... on the way to the bathroom he vetoed the "give illegal aliens drivers licences so they can vot democrat" bill.... after he washes his hands he will fix workmans comp.... all measures designed to bring bussiness to the state.
hasn't borrowed a dime so far. Hasn't robbed anyone yet either... davis robbed us on a daily basis... so far.. there really is no comparisson.

Thanks for side-stepping my question, but I'll ask it again. If he borrows money to get California out of the red, are you Republicans ok with that?
-
The biggest problem in Ca. now is our POS workman's comp system. Very successful companies, especially in manufacturing are bolting the State due to the high costs.
We have 700+ employees and have paid MILLIONS per year in workman's comp. An assosiate has reduced his accidents by 86% while his Workman's Comp premiums have doubled.
If Ahhnold changes this, the budget problem gets solved by the increased income from all the new businesses.............. how's that for Right Wing?

He has said he will bring an outside team to audit the government to see where the waste is, and cut it. That is something Grayout never even considered. If Arny does have to borrow, that sucks, but at least he is taking other steps gray never would have to help clean the situation up.
-
banana.. we will have to wait and see... to me... all taxes are theft and "borrowing"... If he cuts programs and spending then I will be happy.
I believe MT has explained it well and Arnie knows it... the way that davis treated evil business is what got us into this mess. If we attract new bussines and decrease spending (cut programs) then how can taxes increase other than to pay off old debt? everyone wins with increased bussines and decreased spending.

Arnold is a smart, energetic man that will probably be at least as good as Davis was at running California. As long as Arnold does not change the California National Guard uniform to grey and intoduce the goose-step, things should be fine.

In this case you know what you are talking about.

Heck, we keep looking a good Governor here in Texas. Maybe one of these days we'll find one worth keeping and not have to send him back to the minors. Maybe Arnold will be interested in Texas since he knows we can't demote him to the US Presidency?

Very unsocialistic of you MT. What's next? Reduce taxes?
