Do you think we should blame McClintock, because the Dem Legislature voted down his amendment, or we should blame the Dems? When Arnold can't get things through the leftists Legislature, you always blame Arnold, instead of the Dems, which is where the blame belongs.
"Among the bills now heading to the Assembly are:
_ A measure that that would let the state issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Schwarzenegger has vetoed two earlier versions of the bill.
Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, said the measure - his latest attempt in eight years to allow illegal immigrants to drive with licenses - is needed as the deadline approaches for California to comply with new federal regulations for identification documents adopted after the 2001 terrorist attacks. But the Senate rejected an amendment by Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks, that would have brought California into compliance without letting illegal immigrants drive."
FO,, it's not the stuff he didn't get thru, it's some of the stuff that did get thru that he did sign that he shouldn't have..
After he gets re-elected, he is beholden to no one and can and likely will try to do as Maria&team says. Come back and crow some more about his accomplishments after he gets his version of a minimum wage hike, more bond debt, and no cuts anywhere, nowhere to be found. Yup, come back and crow...
We all know the legislature is low-rent, their ratings reflect that and have for some time., We or some of us expected better from the latest Gub , sadly, he isn't all he's cracked up to be by the likes of you. BUt as they say, He's the best we can hope for at this time. (Puke....)
I don't know that I've ever criticized Schwarzenegger for not getting something through the legislature. That's not his job. I have criticized him for Proposing excessive spending and for not having vetoed bills which clearly is his job and within his authority.
Nice try. Show us an example of someone here criticizing the governor over GOOD legislation that he backed that failed. I don't believe you can name ANY three bills that the governor has backed regardless.
You sit here day in and day out throwing out broad impressions (no pun intended) from your imagination of how you think conservative Republicans behave. Like the MSM, you are usually wrong, but keep spouting it anyway.
Criticism of our liberal governor most often comes over his unilateral actions and gubernatorial powers that the Democrats have no say over, such as appointments of very liberal Democrats to positions of power, political stupidity in last year's special election, and twisting REPUBLICAN arms to introduce BAD BILLS like Maldonado's minimum wage bill. THAT's the kind of thing we criticize him over.
