Ray Haynes has the right idea:
"The lesson to the Governor should be: kick them first, just to get their attention, and then negotiate. In this case, the Governor started out with the best solution, in light of the depth of the problem. The Democrats, who created the problem, then sought to blame the whole thing on him, and then deny him a solution.
That is Sacramento under Democrat domination. Maybe, just maybe, the people will get the idea, and change the Legislature like they changed the Governor. One can only hope. "

Governor Schwarzenegger learned an important lesson this last week. He came to Sacramento with a desire to ''negotiate'' a ''bipartisan'' solution to our budget crisis. He honestly believed that this ''bipartisan'' solution was possible. He even proposed a ''bipartisan'' solution to the crisis. The Democrats then threw his ''bipartisan'' solution in the trash can, and told the world he ''refused to negotiate.'' Welcome to Sacramento, Governor. LMAO!!!

PFFFT...Arnold was more than willing to sign anything. He didn't even try to "negotiate" with the Dems. He basically told the Republicans to take a hike.
Arnold didn't "learn" anything, he was a willing accomplice.

The lesson to the Governor should be: kick them first, just to get their attention, and then negotiate. After Arnold has hired so many leftist Democrats to key positions, after failing to talk to any Republicans in the legislature during the passage of his revolving credit bailout bills, after having only TWO Repblican Senators vote for said package... I don't think it's sinking in.
Of course, we told you it would go this way, that the Slave Party would kick him in the nuts no matter how hard he tries to meet them halfway, but you failed to heed the warnings, preferring instead to fling your spew at a man who understood that it was war from the beginning and made no apology about stating it honestly. Now all you offer is spin.
There's only one positive development after Arnold's win: Republicans have more reason than ever not to support a RINO for the coming Senate election, and good reason not to believe a word the "moderates" say about "social liberal and fiscal conservative."

Sawrzzy will have to go and ask the people to vote for something besides Democrats.

I thought Arnold had assembled a Blue Ribbon Group of advisor's to "Study da Budget" and show the world how to balance the budget...

That is correct. We were not going to get spending caps, despite what Ahnold's enemies in the Republican Party claim. Go Ahnold!
