The California State Budget battle continues to drag on. I have already written about one gambit Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger could try to break the logjam, which would be for him to try to find candidates to run against the California GOP State Senators who refuse to vote for the budget.
But there remains a nuclear option. Schwarzenegger ought to tell the Reep Senators that they will either agree to approve the budget, by Tuesday of next week, or HE WILL QUIT THE GOP.
That’s right, Schwarzenegger would go to the party of his wife, Maria Shriver, and become a Democrat. Or he could go DTS – decline to state.
And then he could FIRE EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in his administration.
Do you think the Republicans in the State Senate want to deal with a Democratic Governor? I think not.
And Schwarzenegger would instantly become the favorite to replace Dianne Feinstein if she elects to leave the U.S. Senate at the end of her next term.
Sounds like a plan to me.
news to art .arnold has already left the republican party .also why are you holding the reps the blame for this . they are trying to stop this reckless spending from the dems . this group the last couple of years has spent more than we have taken in .
Maybe Bill Lockyer was on to something……………..
Actually Art, Arnold could start by stop handing out those cushy Fair Board, state agency and judicial appointments. I know he’s been appointing some Democrats but in the OC all the Fair Board and most of the other appointments have been to Republicans. If Margett and other Republicans think Arnold would make a good Democrat maybe Arnold should start by ignoring their recommendations for Fair Board or other appointments.
Art,
I don’t get it, why is this such a big deal to you? The budget, as usual is a pile of fecal matter. You can’t spend more than your get in income for very long without major problems. As some of the smarter folks up the in the crapitol have said, we ain’t got it.
You get a few folks who actualy try to get a balanced budget, for a change, and they are the bad guys?
Why not hold the folks who keep overspending their income accountable?
Carl,
My sources in Sacramento tell me that the Reeps are now just moving the target on a daily basis. They have already been given a ton of concessions. Their Assembly peers already voted for the budget. It is high time for them to approve the budget.
If the Reeps want to make a bigger impact they need to get behind independent redistricting. They need to stop focusing on social issues. They need to stand for something that matters – and stop selling out to special interests.
These Reeps have damned their party.
It is pretty dang tuff to stand up for what is right.
Most people cant take the heat.
They just fold and go along with the crowd.
Keep up the heat Art, from the tax and spend aile.
Arnold was helped into this place by the boys at Enron.
Americans Against Arnold has launched defensive measures against Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bliztkrieg attack on the Constitution because we love America and believe that the Founding Fathers were right: only someone born in America should be able to be President.
Just as important, we are dedicated to exposing the individual, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is totally unfit to be Governor of California, much less President of the United States. ArnoldExposed.com will serve as a meticulously documented encyclopedia of Arnold’s sinister, grotestque and even barbaric activites, from his nazi links to illegal drug use and sexual harrassment.
