I am tired of Arnold and his inept ways of creating deficits, killing jobs and harming families.
"In 2005, Schwarzenegger went for broke, calling for a special election to introduce several propositions covering such sacred leftist cows as limiting teacher tenure (Proposition 74), reforming union interests in state elections (75), limiting state spending (76), and curbing the state’s corrupt Democratic gerrymandered district lines (77).
Every single one of the key Schwarzenegger propositions went down in the flames — leaving both the smoldering ruins of needed reforms and an express delivery shellacking to the governor’s seemingly bountiful ego.
One can gather that the unanimous special election rebuke must have taken a toll on a man accustomed to fame and popularity. He changed. Instead of reevaluating his approach to reform California into a governable, business-friendly state, he found the “never seen a statist-environmentalist cause I didn’t like” Arnold within. Instead of championing difficult yet necessary changes worth fighting for, he fell back on “solutions” to the global warming issue and right into the loving arms of the radical environmental lobby. He even turned international socialist heads in Copenhagen by calling for an Orwellian-sounding “planetary transformation.” The Nobel-winning Austrian economist that Schwarzenegger claimed to admire must have been turning over in his grave.
Adding insult to injury, a toothy Austrian grin awaited Assembly Bill 32, a draconian Sacramento cap and trade scheme. He signed AB-32 in 2006 and even later pushed for a California version of ObamaCare."
Note that no GOP officeholder, except for Abel Maldonado, defends the Arnold legacy as a good thing.
In about 21 days he will leave office. No need to remind folks of his administration, our tax bills, pension plans and deficits will remind us every day for a generation.
It is time for all of us to move on. Take our losses and admit we made a major mistake in 2003.
