WASHINGTON – California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says concessions made to Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson to win his vote on the health care overhaul bill were a "rip-off" for his state and is urging California lawmakers to vote against it.

In an interview airing Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, Schwarzenegger says giving extra Medicaid benefits to Nebraska to secure Nelson's vote, critical to Senate passage of the measure, was "like buying a vote." In Sacramento, he says, "it is illegal to do that, to buy votes."

Gov. Schwarzenegger, the same guy that signed a law banning .50 cal rifles, even though none had ever been used in a crime, and recently signed the ammo registration bill. Now he’s upset? I’ve been upset with him for a long time.

Shut up Arnold, we are getting just as tired of you as King Obama. In stead of doing what you were elected to do such as balancing California's budget you sat on your as@ and shoved BS down our throats.
