how is this playing out in California?

It's why we threw out Davis and elected Arnold in the first place. To shake up the Demoncrat legislature before they legislate us out of existence. LOL.

I mean Arnold buff, Johnny Bravo buff, or Mr. Universe buff. Using the "Hans and Franz" standard, if you don't rip t-shirts apart just by putting them on then you are a "girly man".

Yes I know President Bush is very athletic and he is muscular and buff. I know that he lifts weights and jogs regularly.

Seems these same politicians had not trouble accusing.....[Arnold of sexual harassment]

There is a considerable and vocal minority in California that considers heterosexuality should be made illegal.

Did you see the clip when Arnold said what he did? Like Hell he didn't mean it. Jocular? Yeah, like a backslap that knocks your bridge out.

The dems are so stupid. Someone should have put on a musclesuit and sweats and just mimiced Hans And Franz jeers back at the governor. It would have been highly publicized, they would have a sense of humor. Heck, they could even say, "We've had our fun, but now it is time to get together and work this out." If you can give and take the jokes, then maybe people believe you can give and take in negotiations.

Using the "Hans and Franz"

LOL, well, then using the Hans and Franz standard, your right. Our president doesn't have the buffness of Hans and Franz. LOL

"Idiots.

'Girlie men' is used jocularly to refer to any one who is not buff and muscular. By that standard, Bush is a girly man. It's not meant to be serious.

Being professional victims, these retards always need to find more victimizers, real or imagined."

Of course the Democrats know the original context of Schwarznegger's quote, and the context in which he meant it. They're merely redefining the use of the term to suit their perceived political advantage.

Democrats lie, de-fraud, redefine .. do anything but tell it straight, because their true agenda would be tougher sell than peddling ice to an Eskimo. An honest politician, when faced with such a "political attack" on his/her character, would have laughed it off, and said something like,

"...well, maybe ol' "Hanz" Schwarnegger knows something about that.. that's hillarious. But seriously, these budget negotiations are about the future of our state, and once we get past the Governor's gaffaws... we both need to get serious on a compromise.. for the benefit of future Californians.."

In other words, there was an easy, lighthearted response available to any Democrat politician with half-a-brain. Resorting to demagoguery, redefining the terms used out of their original context, simply confirms Schwarzenergger's original observations: The Dems in Sacramento really ARE "girly men", especially the..ah...er.. "girls" in their legislative delegation. They are demagogs, because they have absolutely no credibility to do anything else

Now using my standards, a girly man is a man lacking in courage, patriotism, bravery, and integrity, regardless of muscular build or girth. Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy et al are all girly men.

Dubya, Cheney, Rummy, those guys are real men!

I called Dario Frommer's office, Said, "Girlie man, do your job and approve the budget. The gal answering the phone said she was as a woman insulted. I told her, so what, I didn't ask you, I'm telling Mr. Girlieman Frommer to do his job. She was really pissed and started demanding my name.
