In a move that would diminish the clout of his fellow Republicans in the Legislature, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested Monday that he could support eliminating the two-thirds voting requirement for passing future state budgets.

"Everyone now has come to the conclusion -- all the leaders -- that we must work, as soon as the budget is over, work on a system that allows us to have a budget on time," the governor said. "If that means we should go and shoot for, as some suggested, a simple majority to pass the budget rather than a two-thirds vote, maybe that's the solution."

The Austrosocialist wants to eliminate what little clout in Sacramento the CAGOP has. What's Red Arnold's formula? Make the budget train run on time. Naturally, the Democrats are pleased as punch by the Governator's assault upon his own party.

Brilliant. Eliminate the only check there is on an out-of-control bunch of spend-o-crats.

I recommend the whole article. It really shows what a propaganda machine the Governor is running with his rhetoric and how he is out to undermine anything conservative.

Thank you Jeff Denham and other GOP Senators! Stand tall—you have a lot of support.

And to Abel Maldonado—pfffft!!! Your misdirected whining is unbecoming.

I expect DisAbled Maldonado and Governor SchwarzenKennedy to exchange BFF bracelets (Best Friends Forever)

*pukes*

Maldonado seems like a clueless moderate Democrat who just wants to be loved. All it takes is for Arnie to stroke him a few times and he falls in line with the leftist agenda. He needs to open his eyes to see that Arnie doesn’t love anybody but himself and he will be left at the altar—neither Dems nor Republicans will be sending any love his way when he has outlived his usefulness to Arnie.

OH! You mean A.S., not Denham!!!

Schwartzenegger is such a useless piece of crud!!!

His speech to Republicans and the nation at the 2004 CONvention was the biggest in your face LIE I've ever seen in a national political CONvention!!!

...the governor said. "If that means we should go and shoot for, as some suggested, a simple majority to pass the budget rather than a two-thirds vote, maybe that's the solution."

Sure, you stupified steriodal sex-slave to a Kennedy, maybe we should have a unicameral legislature like Nebraska... NOT!!!

This joker is lookin for love in all the wrong places!!!

Why can't he holler at the Dems to control their urges to squander, or at least to COMPROMISE!!!

“Why can’t he holler at the Dems to control their urges to squander, or at least to COMPROMISE!!!”

Only what lardass Kennedy wants counts.

" It really shows what a propaganda machine the Governor is running with his rhetoric and how he is out to undermine anything conservative."

We should have dumped the Austrian SOB when we had the chance.

"...the governor said. "If that means we should go and shoot for, as some suggested, a simple majority to pass the budget rather than a two-thirds vote, maybe that's the solution.""

Lets see how the taxpayers feel about a simple majority.

Lets also see if the Austrian wants to face the voters and explain why this would be a good idea.

[calcowgirl]

Thanks, EGD. I also thought you meant Denham was dissing Ashburn.
That the Austrian is spewing his crappola doesn’t surprise me.

Anyone got a phone number direct to His Royal Highness so I can ask him why my tax dollars should support child care for ingrates who should take care of they own spawn...

But Arnold’s a Republican, or so I’ve been told.
