Sarcasm is usually the best weapon against liberals. We know where their true priorities are, don't we?

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

that's what liberals have always done:

doctors and lawyers charge their clients more in order to help the po' folks

Schwarzenegger said in a speech to the California Chamber of Commerce.

I was there, heard it with my own ears. Also saw some screaming CTA protesters dragged out by the ears.

"Also saw some screaming CTA protesters dragged out by the ears."

This state's never gonna be run right till we get that rare bird called a truly charming conservative into power with lotsa legislative conservatives in there with 'em!!!

"You can thank Pete Wilson for this commission that has no reins attached."

Yes... (sigh) you are so right! But... he was just another tax and spend Repellican. Now he's created a borrow and spend Kindergarten Cop!!!

"So I sat down and started thinking about it," he said in a mocking voice, relating how former Gov. Pete Wilson, Davis' predecessor, left the state a surplus. "They have spent all of that money and they went and created a $22 billion debt. And They continue to spend more than we have. And they have chased businesses out of the state and jobs out of the state. They took the economy right down into the toilet and almost made the state go into bankruptcy.

"Yes, they deserve a raise! That's fair!" he said, drawing laughs from the crowd. "Under any normal circumstances, they would be fighting to keep their jobs, and keep their salaries."

Given the budgets Arnold has submitted, does this mean he's going to quit?
