Schwarzenegger's Stunning Hyposcrisy

[David__77]

From gubernatorial debate transcript:

SCHWARZENGGER: We have to make sure that every child in California is insured. That is the most important thing. I'm very passionate about children's issues. It is very important because they cannot fend for themselves. The children, we have a healthy family program here in California, and it is a very, very good program (unintelligible). The only problem with the program right now is that only two-thirds of the people that are eligible are not having this health care. And because the government has not done a good job in reaching out and finding the people and letting them know to sign up and find easy ways for them to sign up. Two-thirds of the people that are eligible do not have the child care. It is really terrible. If I become governor l would immediately go out there (unintelligible) and get it out so everyone knows about it and every one signs up because we must insure our families, the low-income families, especially the children.

Now, this demagogue doesn't care about these children. They can be sent to the ovens for all he cares:

"Schwarzenegger wants lawmakers to approve a halt to enrolling children in the Healthy Families insurance program beginning Jan. 1. Children's advocates blasted that idea, noting that 1 in 7 children in California was already uninsured."

1. Well, I guess he won't be marching in any more Special Olympics events...

B-)

2. Not a Flip-Flop...A Triple Back layout with a half twist Flop

UNBELIEVABLE!

:puke:

4. Those Pubs have NO SHAME

They knew the answers to the Financial Probs were not there so they made them up. Now they can't make the numbers work so they have to come up with hatchet jobs to save money.

They will say anything to get the vote, even LIE

[David__77]

5. There's a lesson to be learned from that...

if we care to learn it. Sometimes expediency rules all else.

[Bandit]

3. Boy am I ever surprised

:shrug: What did anyone expect?

[David__77]

6. A lot of people DID expect differently.

They are called Schwarzenegger supporters--at least a large proportion of them. They actually thought he was not a liar. We need to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

[Oracle]

7. He's a fucking republican...I said this over and over before the election.

as these assholes kept saying Arnold is different, Arnold is good, etc..

He's a fucking republican with republican ideology...

He will always tow the republican line, which means cut social, children and workers benefits in favor of tax breaks for corporations.

When Bush & Rove needs him to do any dirty work in California, (in the 2004 election) Arnold will do it. He's a loyal republican and that's what he believes in, republican ideology. Certainly not the lies he fed everyone before the CA recall election (just like Bush did and will do in 2004.)

How do people over and over and over get fooled into voting republican?

Never have I and never will I.

Don't people understand the word ideology?

[BootinUp]

13. True but...

That argument won't convince independents by itself. Realize there are ideologues on both sides.

I watched the debate that apparently gained Arnold so much support and I don't know what Californians saw in him. He avoided tough questions like no other candidate I've seen.

Maybe in the final analysis the democrats Davis, and Bustamante don't have a clue how to campaign.

[Skittles]

15. THANK YOU

I'm sick of the "but this one is different" bullshit. REPUBLICANS GOOSE-STEP - got that?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. How about the $53,000 he took from Wackenhut after

complaining special interests run the state? Private prisons had proven to be inefficient..now California can look forward to doing business with more of them.

[AP]

19. Everyone was so worried about the Dems relationship with prison guard...

...unions.

Well it looks like Arnold's going to side with management against labor in the prisons, eh?

Now which is worse?

[gratuitous]

9. Gee, I wonder if this might not be grounds for a recall?

After all, what was it Issa wanted Davis recalled for, again?

[sinkingfeeling]

10. He's got to stop stealing stuff from Bush's playbook........n/t

[BackDoorMan]

11. Where are all those idiot DU Arnold supporters now? Speak up!

You voted for a REPUBLICAN??????

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. Don't get me started!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

14. There is no shame

in being naieve and innocent and having high hopes
for a different tomorrow and a newer future.

[David__77]

16. That's not what this is...

For all who cared to look and see around them, this should not be a surprise. His posturing has always been 100% pure demagoguery. It reminds me of 1930's-style fascism in that it promises everything and delivers only crushing blows against the most vulnerable.

[FredScuttle]

17. Welcome to your destiny, naive one

and thanks for dragging people with common sense and half-a-brain down with you. What the fuck happened to my state?

[AP]

18. Schwarzeneggers budget cuts reveal two things:

- this man hates immigrants. Which is interesting because he is one. I'm not surprised the guy has a bad heart; and

- where the hell was all that graft and corruption he was going to find when he OPEN'DAH BOOOKS??? It looks likes he's cutting the budget by cutting programs rather than cutting grapft. I guess there just wasn't any corruption.

It looks like all this guy wants to do is make sure there's plenty of cheap labor to help businesses keep their profit margins up. Even Henry Ford realized that you have to pay peopl decent wages so they can afford your products. You can't hord ALL the money if you want to make money.

[opihimoimoi]

20. The Gropenator is a PHONEY PUB, First the kids, soon the old folk.

this guy has no answers. TYP Pub, make up the answers as we go along.

"All we gatta do is this , or , that""" yeah, right. The Terminator is a Prevaricator. And guess what? They know it and they laughing at us. We are the fools in their minds, we were the idiots who sucked for the lies.

And now, all we can do is POUT

[LibertyorDeath]

21. Well surprise surprise Schwarzenegger turns out to be a

Evil shit rethug wow who would ever have guessed that electing a B actor action hero with no political experience to run the worlds 6th largest economy could go wrong I mean what were the odds that this egocentric movie star would turn out to be shit on a shingle.

To those mentally incompetent enough to vote for this facade your gonna get what you so richly deserve to the ones who did not vote for him stock up on K-Y cause Schwarzenegger & those who back him are just getting started.
