Schwarzenegger on Thursday said he cannot accept indexing future wage increases to inflation.

Arnold's Answer: Increase minimum wage through Maldonado's legislation.

Right Answer: VETO all minimum wage hikes.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger filled a dormant state commission with four Democrats on Friday before asking them to approve a $1-an-hour minimum wage increase without the annual cost-of-living adjustments pushed by Democratic lawmakers.

Hey FO, come on over here and spin this for us.

[sheana]

We don't need a Democrat for a Governor. The one we have keeps filling all the empty seats with Democrats anyway.

[calcowgirl]

Hey FO, come on over here and spin this for us.

Let me take a shot.

Arnold has to do this to get along with the Dem controlled legislature. YOU don't understand the demographics! The Dems and the Independents represent the majority of the electorate. Arnold has to do this or he can't win! And, Angelides and Westly are both the spawn of Satan, you know?. Arnold vetoed the Driver's License bill, for goodness sake! And he vetoed gay marriage! (oh, please don't demonstrate again where he granted gay marriage in all but name) Why do YOU support Democrats???

/FO Spin

Maybe he's just Hiss-spin-dering...

using a 'doormat' commission to slide 'it' in the back gate..

I heard of Trick Ponies but

Trick Trojan Horsies? wow.

[NormsRevenge]

He should have blow'd that dormant commission box up right off the git'go.. now we see why he didn't. ;-)

[calcowgirl]

He used the PUC back gate to commit $3 BILLION for Solar Roofs, too.

Too bad he doesn't use it for causes other than leftist garbage and big spending boondoggles.

[calcowgirl]

Do YOU want to see a Governor Angelides??????

/FO

[ElkGroveDan]

sorry SW, forgot your wakeup call

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks!

UNBELIEVABLE!

I just got a phone call (recorded) from Newt Gingrich.

He was touting Abel Maldonado for Controller. "I can't vote in California, but you can. If I could, I would vote for Abel Maldonado... he supported an independent auditor to root out waste.... and will defend against terrorists.... " [Paraphrased]

No mention of his leftist Minimum Wage bill. Or his votes for the Big Bond Bonanza.

The call (advertisement) gave no mention of who it was sponsored by.
Newt promotes liberal RINOs on his own dime?

I just got a phone call (recorded) from Newt Gingrich.

My Dad in Santa Clarita got the same call about two hours ago. I called Tony Strickland's consultant and shared the details.

[calcowgirl]

Good job, Dan.

Aren't they required to disclose who is backing the ads?
Do you think this is from the RNC or CA Gop or other?

Main Street rides again?

[ElkGroveDan]

It's probably just Maldonado's campaign.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Oh, yeah, I got that phone call a few days ago from the Newt-ered one.

Received today two endorsement slates from these phony paid-for "organizations," both touting Dis-Able Moldy-nada, both touting Yes on 81, and one of them touting Keith "HillaryCare" Richman, plus a few Dems running for "non-partisan" officies.
