Arnie got a call from uncle Teddy..... I totally forgot they were related! LOL. Thanks for the reminder.

It occurs to me that waging war and being an emergency response team at home are asking too much of an organization.

Here’s a brilliant idea, let’s elect some more RINOS just so the GOP can have control.

I find it truly disturbing that the anti-American Bush haters of the democrat party, and I include arnold here, will do and say anything to degrade the President, do anything to hurt the war effort, while we are fighting the most dangerous enemy that we have faced since WWII and the Cold War.

“The readiness of the Guard has been described as a national problem and has become a political liability for the Bush administration, which came under fire this week when the governor of Kansas complained that the National Guard response to a devastating tornado in her state was inadequate.”
Of course they don’t tell the rest of the story just the half that suits their agenda.
F’ing pressholes.

Agreed.
The Guard are a catch-all organization of volunteers.
Those who want to see things done differently ought to work to change that situation and not just take cheap pot shots at the issue.

He's probably just angry that Terminator 4 has been announced and he is not in it.

“Schwarzenegger and other state officials say they are confident the Guard could handle most emergencies, however, noting that about 2,500 guard personnel are deployed overseas out of a force of more than 20,000. “
i.e, ~90% of the personnel are available, as are most of the aircraft used to fight fires. No mention of EMAC, RFAs (requests for assistance) or other ways to pick up the miniscule slack.
and, the last time I checked, the Guard is in existence to deploy, fight and win the nation’s wars. If you want firefighters, hire firemen.
Bottom line: HOOOEY!

was he told to say this too

Hey Arnold........that stance wasn’t a winner in Kansas, and I doubt it’ll go over that great in outstate CA. Just in SF and la la land.
