How Much Support Does Arnold Still Have In California?
Why on Earth did they elect this idiot? He doesn't even know what party he's in. What is his standing currently in the state, besides with what is going on with the massive fire going on. What has been his overall approval?

4. well the fact that he is a repub
and doesnt know what party he is in is a good thing. the fact that he is taking bush to court over not being able to regulate emission in this state i think is really great. he does have alot of shady dealings but on the whole he has done an all right job (still think dean was better)

8. Oh, PUHLEEEZE....
How ridiculous is that statement? CA is the 6th largest economy in the WORLD. Faux news fans and deluded ppl might believe that...Hollywood doesn't even sell that.

The midwest states have severe drug problems (especially meth).

6. More than he had at the beginning of his term.
He's not as bad as I thought he would be....

But he's still a slimy excuse for a governator

10. Arnold is a " Rockefeller Republican"
which, in todays climate ain't half bad.

He's pro business and anti fundie bullshit. He believes in science and says so. He dosen't believe bipartainship simply means "agree with whatever I say." He shares progressive ideas with those of us on the left and governs from the center right.

I worked hard against him twice, but in the end, he's waaaay better than the idealogs masquarading as republicans.

I'm ashamed, but honest. :evilgrin:

11. The recall election here was a travesty.
Worse, Duncan Hunter was here talking about how help was on the way and would be here in a couple days WHILE CALIFORNIA BURNS.

Effin hell.

14. Then Why Doesn't He Just Switch To Being A Democrat?
I've never seen someone bash Democrats, but then push some of the same policies that the Right attacks others for.

15. The only reason this re-tahd keeps getting elected:
The Dems always run an opponent who wants to open the borders and let even more illegals swarm into California. Hell, one of them was even a member of the militant group MeCHa. Given the two choices, the average Californian views Ah-nuld as the lesser of two evils.

Unless and until the Dems start to abide by the will of the people (who want controlled, LEGAL immigration), they'll continue to lose to Repukes like Ah-nuld.
