He's done everything he could to bust the unions, impoverish the public schools, cut off benefits to people who need them most, and gut the state's infrastructure (remember that freeway bridge collapse?). He'll do it to the rest of the country if he ever gets to be President.
Of course, I suppose most of the other Republicans would do the same thing... Still, he's much more awful than that folksy, friendly demeanor and mullet haircut would suggest. Watch out for this asshole.
