BOO HOO FOR YOU...


Can you say LAHOOOOSERRR!!!


I guess Ahhnold won't "BE BACK" with his stupid proposals and his unnecesarry 'special' election. Stick to the acting gig and stay out of politics. You don't know what the hell you are doing, and never will. I am glad the residents of California had some common sense for once.

(Northern California is cool on my list, though...so you guys don't count.)


As the genius song writer Beck said, "I'm a loser baby, so why don't ya kill me?"


Bad news for Schwarzenegger

The bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician has seen his approval numbers sink, as Californians questioned the necessity and $50 million price tag of the special election. Schwarzenegger had insisted his four initiatives were necessary to reform state government.

The statewide special election also was seen as a political gamble with implications for Schwarzenegger's re-election bid next year. Voters on Tuesday didn't buy the proposals. With more 95 percent of precincts reporting, all four of Schwarzenegger's ballot measures were losing:
  • Capping spending;
  • removing legislators' redistricting powers;
  • making teachers work five years instead of two to pass probation;
  • prohibiting public employee unions from using dues for political activities without the permission of their workers.
Schwarzenegger was undeterred late Tuesday, pledging to fight on no matter what the election results."Whether we win, lose or draw, whatever the outcome is, there is one thing we will do: We are going to continue to make Caleeforneeia a better place for our citizens here and for our people of this great, great state," he said.

Maybe I'm crazy, but the proposals seem on the surface to be pretty sensible.

* Limit gov't spending in a state that has a massive debt - good idea!
* Don't let those in power have the power to determine future winning districts lines to retain power - good idea!
* Make teacher's more accountable and prove satisfactory performance for a reasonable amount of time before they are insulated from firing - good idea!
* Stopping unions from taking money from their members for political donations when not all members may agree with whom they are donating the money too - good idea!

Of course, maybe I'm just a simpleton.

The people of California decided what they wanted. Whether it's simple or not--the vote was their choice.

Besides, I can't stand actor/politicans...any jab I can get in is great!
