Schwarzenegger Reiterates Anti-Tax Theme And Will Ask Bush For Help
Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday renewed his pledge not to raise taxes and vowed to work cooperatively with California's Democratic leaders.

At a 25-minute news conference in Los Angeles, the Republican also reiterated his plans to roll back the state's vehicle license fee, or car tax — despite legal disputes over whether he can — and said he planned to put his lucrative movie career on hold.

"The people of California want me to be their governor, and I will do that and nothing else," Schwarzenegger said. "There will be no time for movies, or anything else. I will pay full attention to this job."

The day after ousting Democrat Gray Davis in the first recall vote in California history, Schwarzenegger garnered headlines across the globe and fielded congratulatory phone calls from a who's who of leaders, from President Bush to former South African President Nelson Mandela.

1. Well, his acting career has long been dead.
I refuse to buy/watch T3.

He's a two-bit actor with no acting skills of his own.

3. He wants federal tax monies from the rest of the country to maintain
his anti-tax promises for California.

Rest of the country will be glad to hear about that ! No doubt.

16. Isn't that the disgusting truth.
The minute Arnold said that he would need federal help, I knew it, the money Bush wouldn't give to California because Davis asked for it would now be given to Arnold.

6. asking bush for help
sounds like a great idea. california could invade say baja new mexico, cut taxes, create a bigger deficit, get people killed off by the hundreds, and appoint wierdos and megalomaniacs to his staff.

oh wait he took care of the last one already

8. This could be bad for Bush
roguevalley is right; this whole thing could end up turning on Bush. The Freepers might not be happy for long.

10. Yeah, now Bush will help. But during the energy crisis
manufactured by his friends, he wouldn't even return Diane Feinstein's phone calls. Republicans are beyond the beyonds when it comes to hypocrisy.
