"There's a euphoria that we're relevant again," said U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa. "The Republican party was doing very well in Washington, and was irrelevant in California for a number of years. It was also divided and leaderless. Now they are united with a tremendous leader."

Issa is right.

Go Arnold, go Issa!

I still have my misgivings about Ahnuld, but if he gets the GOP traction in that Godforsaken state, then more power to them all.

Relevant again Bump

(Does that include Tom McClintock too? seeing as how he has been pushing for many of these same reforms for years.)

Progress not perfection........but of course I'm sure I'll be flamed for that.....doing nothing or leaving it in the hands of the Dems could hardly be better......

He could've been relevant at any point by getting these initiatives on the ballot.

But he punted.

Tom is gonna get his dues.....he is the actual conservative in the matter but sometimes we have to compromise just a bit to establish a base as such and then can work from within .......being a strong conservative my friend, I know you will agree that any effort to rest control from the life long pol DUmmies is a good thing.....if they are against him, then I am for him........for now

Does that mean that McClintock will enthusiastically support Arnold and his reforms? Last I heard McC is planning to run for the Lt. Governorship as the "anti-
Arnold", promising that he will oppose everything that Arnold will try to do.

Wonder how much Indian tribal gaming money he'll scarf up THIS time. He says the tribes are sovereign nations. Didn't we get really hacked off about Clinton accepting foreign campaign donations, once upon a time?

I think what Arnold said to the Democrats, applies to everyone else, including McC:

"The train has left the station and there's three things they can do," Schwarzenegger said. "One is they can join and jump on the train. Number two, they can go and stay behind and just wave and be left behind, or number three, they get in front of the train and you know what happens then."

Questions is, whether McC will get on the train, since he is claiming that Arnold is implementing his (McC's) ideas -- as if ideas were patented, and McC had been the first one, to have those conservative ideas in the history of the US.

"He hit the nail on the head, pointing out that what we need to do is rein in spending, not worry about how to figure out taxes and new fees."

GO, ARNOLD!!!

How come Arnie hasn't given Tom a prime position ? Rinold would have lost without Tom in the race. Davis would still be governor.

And you would be a bold faced liar to say such a thing.

Show me any evidence that Tom is fighting the Governor in any way.

If that means he can not talk and raise his concerns , then I guess we may as well jusy put the Cuban flag up over the Capitol.

Arnold almost lost, and Bustamante almost won, BECAUSE Tom was in the race.

If the vote against the recall would have won it wouldn't have mattered. Tom kept the base in the race to vote no.

It was in some of the articles the McC fans posted. I am not going to dig them out.

While I occasionally point out, that the information posted by some McC supporters in misleading, I don't call them liars.

Why are you so angry? Could it be because truth and facts are on my side?
