Schwarzenegger’s shameful last act (this will make your blood boil)
http://michellemalkin.com/ ^ | 1/03/11 | Michelle Malkin

Retiring celebrity governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California was bad for the GOP in so many ways, I’ve stopped counting them.

So, how did Schwarzenegger leave office? By committing one last shameful act of back-scratching politics as usual and granting a commutation to the son of a Democrat political crony, former California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (his longtime collaborator on job-killing environmental regulations) .

Arnie Kennedy-Shriver is Democrat sleaze. Can't think of any reason he calls himself a Republican, except to tarnish the image.

Hope he enjoys his legacy, a miserable failure as governor of what should be the greatest state. Not that it's all his fault, but he didn't even bother trying to right the ship. Go along, to get along.

And now Moonbeam will destroy what's left of it.

POX on the house of Arnold.
Send him back to where he came from, and make his wife go with him!

I hope to God the term limit laws in California apply to lifetime “service” and not just consecutive terms, so the girlyman austrian socialist won’t be bachkkkkkkkkk in the Governor’s chair ever again.

Nancy Pelsoi and Barbara Boxer both born, raised and educated on the east coast NY area...And the stinking governor is not only not from CA, but isn't even from the U.S.

California has been totally infected by these foreigners.

I dunno if that's really the problem. Jerry Brown is a "native-born" Californian, whereas Ronald Reagan was born and raised in Illinois, started his career in Iowa, and didn't move to California until later in life. I don't have a problem with electing a state official who was born somewhere else, as long as their first priority is serving their adopted state.

On the other hand, the fact so many "California" voters are themselves foriegn-born natives that have NOT assimilated one bit, IS a huge problem, in my opinion. The motor voter law has been an absolute disaster, and lead to people like Loretta Sanchez replacing people like Bob Dornan. Foreign countries shouldn't be deciding who are our officials are.

Here is the punk murderer on the left. He really looks broken up while the victims family reads their statement. This POS hasn't even spent a year in the clink. I think this will leave this loser Arnie with a nice black eye until his death. He deserves it.

Esteban Nunez, left, and Ryan Jett listen to victim impact statements in from the family of Luis Santos on Friday, June 25, 2010.

That too...

Of course, with the U.S. government's chain immigration, as they wave in one million foreigners per year, (with no jobs available) the entire country will go the same away...

Whoa... Does this pissclown Schwarzenneger have not an ounce of shame? The only reason the jailed knife thug got any break at all is because he is the son of a politician. If he wasn’t, Schwarzenegger would never have heard of him, let alone given the slightest crap about him. But the kid is “connected” so he gets a gift.

Yikes. Just when you thought Arnold couldn’t get any sleazier.
Good riddance to Arnold. Get the hell outta here.

"My relationship to power and authority is that I’m all for it," he once explained.
"People need somebody to watch over them.... Ninety-five percent of the
people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave."
-- Arnold Schwarzenegger, U.S. News & World Report, Nov 26, 1990

No reason for CA folks to run Arnold off like they did Davis, as he did everything the liberals and unions in the major population areas of CA wanted. It’s a joke to think of him as a Republican.

IOW Fabian helped Arnold make money for his globalist sponsors by helping him kill California. Once the State is truly done, they'll pick up the pieces of their fiefdom for pennies on the dollar.

No...that would be, “I’ll be back”, to which I answer, “I hope the hell not!” lol
