The state of California will take an intelligence test on 10/7/03. The questions being posed to the residents are:
1. Are you as stupid as the democrat party thinks you are?
2. Or, will you save your state?
Today is the big day- so California: Are we stupid? We will soon find out. I am voting for Ahnold. To be honest, at first I was against the re-call .But, seeing the frenzy the dems are in- trying to stop Arnold- , it must be the best thing to do.
I don't agree with him on everything. But, I like that he is direct about his stands on the issues, and I like how he has handled the attacks on him- He's been honest, apologized, didn't try to tell us that he doesn't know what the meaning of the word "is " is. And , surprise, surprise- alot of the so-called "victims" turn out to be lying, have crimminal records, and have ties to the democRAT party.
I remember when Ahnold appeared on Jay Leno- (the 1st night that TV went back to regular programming after 9/11) He ( Arnold) came out waving our flag and he told about how he came to America , that he had nothing, and people helped him out. He talked about what a fabulous country America is. How greatful he felt to live here. He was impressive to listen too. Very positive. I think he helped people feel a little more secure .
I liked him back then and I still like him. He seems kind of Rudy-esque (as in Gulliani)i.e. the kind of person you'd want in charge if -God forbid-we get hit with a 9/11 type attack here, or other disaster.
I'm also voting for him because statistically, he's the front runner- he's still got the best chance to win.
I like Tom Mc Clintock , but, I see his taking money from Indian gaming as a problem- I don't get the "purist's" who talk about Tom's purity/piety.( He's probally not getting out of the race because he had to tell the Indian's he'd stay - to get their money in the 1st place-they will scalp him if he quits.) I'm also bothered that he won't answer questions about his being a spoiler and what if the state goes to Bust-us-to-Mexicos-living-standards. He seems reluctant to do what is best ;if that means his withdrawing . And I have to say: Isn't it just TOTALLY OBVIOUS he is beingUSED by the democRATs to keep them in power?
On the other hand he and Arnold worked very well toghether at the debate. He can keep Arnold's feet to the fire in Sacremento and let people see more of him . I don't think it's his time yet. But, if Arnold lets us down, then Tom can challenge him in the next election.( Or-somebody needs to run against senator's Frankenstein and Box.)
If I could offer him advice- I'd say he should keep his name out in the publics eye- let people get to know him. I think he needs to study the Ronald Reagan speaking style- he's(Tom M.) a bit too reserved/shy?- he needs to incorporate a little spice, be more relaxed when talking to the public. Not to mention, since he is conservative- he has to be able to "sell" people on conservative ideology. It takes more time to explain. It's more complicated than the democrat "how do I feel about it" ideology. All conservatives have to understand this if they want to win.
Let the Intelligence Test of California begin.
On a side note, I got a memo form work saying that we are losing more of our benenfits -Thanks Davis. Also the boss has said privately that if the problems aren't resolved- moving the company out. Anybody else lost benefits because of Davis's mismanagement?

1. Actually, McClintock DID take donations from the tribes.
2. He always had the option of publicly saying that those ads violated the 11th Commandment and that he didn't like them. He didn't.
2. Or, will you save your state?
What a silly statement even for a vanity post. You must be a Kalifornian. How could anyone think that electing socialist-lite Ahnold will change anything when the rest of the government of Kalifornistan is totally controlled by marxists whose views are mirrored in Cuba and North Korea? You people have voted for years to plunder the hard working, to pass moronic "environmental" laws that cause the prices of the necessities of life to be almost unaffordable. You've bent over and spread 'em to the jackbooted thugs who want to make it impossible for you to protect yourselves, and you say that voting for a liberal Republican is going to save the state. It ain't.
Kali is beyond saving via the electoral process. Only when there is total economic collapse, armed revolution, and the idiots in charge are lined up against the wall and shot is there a hope of changing anything. And, since y'all are letting yourselves be disarmed, I think that isn't going to happen. I see a continuing destruction of small businesses with the smart ones moving out of the state. I see the state government tightening the tax screws on the remaining - bleeding them white to prop up their unworkable, envy-driven socialist schemes. I see a reprise of the good old Soviet union, with equal misery for everyone (except government officials of course)
You Kalifornians have made your bed, now lie in it.
What's even worse, you are exporting this national socialist mindset to the rest of the country through electing neoNazi filth such as Feinstein, Boxer, Waxman, Waters, etc.
Arnold is so well informed! /sarcasm
"My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. 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 – in a 1990 interview with U.S. News
Without the accreditation I might think that was Karl ... or Joe Stalin.
But he came out strongly against allowing oil companies to drill off the coast of California."No, absolutely not, I think that we should stop the oil drilling and I think that our state government and federal government should negotiate to buy back the leases," the candidate said.
As for his economic views, Schwarzenegger said he's "fiscally conservative."
Huh?
Oh yeh- my statements silly but of course yours: about total ecconomic collapse, armed take over,d linning people up against walls and shooting them is perfectly reasonable (ROTFL!)
Oh, and yes I am a California girl. It's our election not yours. Go take your medication.
Good point. I think we saw some of this during the 2000 election. Maybe that is why they are predicting a "close" election-because they have a cheating plan in place already. I hope the Reppublicans have a plan to prevent cheating. You'd think they would have learned from the 2000 election. If not, well, I guess its suburb of Tiajuana for us.
Clearly, the federal government must do a much better job of enforcing the security of our borders, especially in the aftermath of 9/11. Washington must also provide more money to border states like California which ultimately shoulder the burden and the costs associated with illegal immigration. And Washington should pursue a responsible immigration policy that offers undocumented immigrants a path to permanent legal status.
I heard the interview where he made these statements and he followed that by saying (to paraphrase) "I will ask Washington for money over and over again. I will knock on their door so much I will be known as the 'Collectinator'."
I guess he means it when he says he will take the tax burden off of the backs of Californians.
I see your reading comprehension is on a par with the rest of you intellectual abilities. I said that's what it would take to change things, but since it wasn't going to happen, things aren't going to change. I realize that this is a difficult concept for someone who lives in Kali to understand. For those with Kalifornian IQs (and those who voted for Clinton) I'll try to explain in shorter words.
Voting for Ahnold is not going to stem the tide of illegal immigrants, roll back your absurdly restrictive junk science stupid environmental restrictions, or lift the tax and regulatory burden that is killing the Kalifornistan economy. Kalifornia is going right down the sh!tter to join workers' paradises like Cuba and North Korea.
I wouldn't care if Kali went straight to hell with every liberal and democratic voter on their own personal devil's pitchfork, except that you are sending a flood of jackasses to Kongress to inflict this same sort of misery on the rest of the country.
Not quite, it does change one thing. If Ahnold (or any Republican) is elected the whole mess can be scapegoated on Republicans with the zealous support of the media.
