“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Arnold's special

Yes, that's right, Arnold. Calling a special election that will cost the state at least $80 million dollars will continue momentum from your historic recall election from the height of popularity to your current dismal 40% approval rating.

An $80 million dollar election that most feel is unnecessary or ill timed is the best way to put California's financial house in order. Surely making a state already hurting for teachers wait another three years for tenure will help bring about what you call fiscal sanity while strengthening our public schools. Redrawing Congressional districts which will cost the state millions more and may even not be feasible by next year will help the state's budget. An initiative requiring unions to approve their dues being spent for political purposes is the magic bullet to slay the debt that Arnold has helped feed.

In the last two years Arnold has done little to address the debt other than repeal an unpopular car tax, borrow huge sums of money through bond initiatives, and screw the schools out of 2 billion dollars. Now he thinks he can fool the public into supporting him once more. It seems that the people are realizing they've made a mistake, and it's only a matter of time before they show Arnold who the real Terminators are.
