Schwarzenegger

I can’t get no satisfaction could well be President Obama’s mantra these days. Picked audiences or not it just keeps getting worse for the embattled Barack Obama, while telling us about the ‘green jobs’ that may or may not be created by research into solar power and wind generation, which most experts agree will never amount to more than 20 per cent of the power requirements of this country at best. All the while bringing the entire weight of the government and its unelected regulatory agencies to destroy our most abundant sources of energy, coal, oil and natural gas.

It is so typical of Obama to speak out of ‘both’ sides of his mouth… promoting an unproven and economically questionable technology while attacking another economic sector and its jobs. Speaking of his administration’s recent debacles in collisions with the American people Obama said, “I’m not going to walk away just because it’s hard”. Sounds a lot like Hillary saying, “I don’t feel no way tired”.

John Boehner

The fact is he got his butt kicked good and hard. Ohio Republican Minority Whip, John Boehner, speaking of Ohio’s TEN POINT NINE PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT rate, referred to Obama’s touting of his failed stimulus. “Tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs since the stimulus was enacted”. “Nine straight months of double digit unemployment”. The rest of the country echoes these words.

The entire machinery of Democratic governance nation wide is a runaway freight train on a collision course with the real world. Witness the State of California under a ‘liberal’ RINO (Republican In Name Only) Governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger), with a completely leftist state legislature more attuned to social engineering than action which would save this most populous state in the nation from bankruptcy and economic oblivion. With an unemployment rate at more than 10.6 percent, and some areas such as the San Joaquin Valley as high as FORTY PERCENT.

Ron Nehring

With our total state budget deficit at close to SIXTY BILLION DOLLARS and many of our Governor’s spending ‘cuts’ amounting to book-cooking budget shifts, the state legislature is proposing a universal health care system at an annual cost of some 200 billion dollars annually. I have run out of superlatives to describe this nuttiness but Ron Nehring, California State Republican Chairman, put it nicely, “California Democrats are either tone-deaf or delusional”.

This exact statement could be used just about anywhere in the country and especially at the national government level. The Democrats simply seem unable to stop or change course. The American people will no longer tolerate BUSINESS AS USUAL, from Democrats or Republicans. That’s the message. Ignore it at your peril.

And while you’re at it, do you think you could keep His Anointedness over there? After all, he is so, SO admired by the royalty of Europe. So the Demarxist juggernaut got stopped dead in its tracks by Senator Ben Nelson (I) Neb. as he resisted arm-twisting pressure to the tenth degree, including the naked threat by the always creepy and smarmy Rahm Emanuel to close Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base. One of our strategic bases and a vivid measure of the desperation of the Obama administration that they would PLACE OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AT RISK for political gain.

But then, one might say about His Mightiness… WHAT’S NEW? Obama and his ObaMaoists are as sleazy and dangerous as they get. Americans have taken heed and really don’t like what they see. In mounting numbers, the groundswell of opinion against this blatant takeover of our economy and our way of life is rapidly turning into a tsunami of active political resistance.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has flown to COPENHAGEN, presumably to advise the Danes on how to destroy the economy of their country as efficiently as he has presided over the environmentalists’ deconstruction of California.

Governor Schwarzenegger

Arnold came into office with a mandate from the people of California to straighten out the fiscal and regulatory nightmare that is Sacramento. A political cesspool second only to Washville in sleazy pork and corruption. What we got was Arnie getting his wrist slapped and then running behind his wife’s hard-left political apron strings, including buying into the entire pseudo-science of runaway environmental regulatory nazism. His cowardly ineptitude has taken a bad situation and turned it critical by any measure you’d care to use. Businesses failing, leaving the state, hundreds of thousands out of work and unemployment ranging from 12.5% to as high as 40% in the Great Central Valley. PLEASE, ARNOLD! Stay in Copenhagen. While you’re at it, keep the San Francisco treat with you.

Nancy Pelosi ( she of the stapled eyelids ) presided over the expenditure of 1.5 trillion dollars of pork-laden pseudo dollars last week, then just to make sure the record would stand she added another 155 billion non-existent dollars, also heavily greased with pork to it. PLEASE keep her there too.

The house has adjourned for Christmas. They call it the HOLIDAYS. This is another priceless opportunity to nail these people in their district offices and give them hell!! Don’t think Ben Nelson’s resistance would have occurred had it NOT been for YOUR activism. Don’t let up at all. As a matter of fact, we need to pour it on all the more. I have a friend who is one of these guys who talks a good game but never DID anything except complain. Even he has gotten off his political duff and is standing up and being counted. ACTIVATE yourself! ACTIVATE your friends and neighbors… Republican, Democrat or Independent – we ALL sink together!!

We as conservatives are bitterly disappointed in our Governator. Arnold Schwarzenegger came into office to right the listing ship of state left by the discredited Governor Gray Davis, a liberal in the Jerry Brown mold of extreme leftist tax and spenders. The California voters had finally had enough, the cry of “throw the bum out” resulting in the recall of the feckless Davis. Guess that just goes to prove the old axiom, ‘Watch what you pray for’. So we got Arnold. True to his campaign rhetoric Arnold took on the state assembly and promptly got smacked down, whereupon he ran to hide behind his wife’s apron…and the moral to that story is never vote for somebody in bed with the Kennedys. Maria Shriver Kennedy Schwarzenegger promptly wiped Arnolds nose for him and installed a leftist staff around him to protect him from the baddies in the Statehouse. She then proceeded to redirect the Governor to make nice with the ultra libs and spend, spend, spend, tax and regulate the State into bankruptcy. Which brings us to 2009 and California’s economy is devastated…with companies and people leaving the state wholesale for states with no income tax or those with a friendly atmosphere for business. Large corporations which had once called the state home have pulled up stakes and moved off shore or anywhere but here. The politicians in Sacramento are so deeply beholden to environmental interests that new business goes elsewhere to start, because the regulatory “fees” and fines make it impossible to reasonably profit here. We have a FEDERAL judge who cuts off water to thousands of people in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley, the richest agricultural land in the world and our Governor and State politicians do nothing. All for the sake of a two inch trash fish. The Governor, had he not been castrated, should have gone to those flood gates and blasted them open himself and damn to the Feds, instead of cowering in Sacramento until shamed into coming out by Sean Hannity, who has more courage than our entire State Government combined, to make a weak statement. We have 12.5 % unemployment, running to as high as 40% in the Central Valley and all our politicians and Governor can do is dream about new sources of revenue from a battered electorate. Arnold may have further political aspirations…he’s not worthy to run for dog catcher. Enter the Republican aspirants for the governors race in 2010. Enter MEG WHITMAN. This lady has a lot of money to throw around and that’s about it. She never bothered to vote most of her adult life. Hasn’t a clue about governance. Doesn’t understand that in order to create the million or so jobs she is pledging, TAXES have to be cut and onerous REGULATORY BURDENS lifted from small business. The new governor is going to have to take on the environmental lobbies, the teachers and public service unions and win. To say nothing  of going bare knuckles in that putrid bog called our Statehouse and not backing down to every special interest group in Sacramento. But most of all she lacks the most basic requirement for the job…judgment. When I heard she was running I wasn’t particularly impressed, but I was willing to reserve my opinion…until I saw her gushing endorsement of rabid communist agitator Van Jones in a videotaped interview…In this interview she stated she had met him once. The fact that she was willing to endorse somebody like Jones, without knowing anything about him or bothering to check, tells me worlds about why she is not fit for the Governorship of this state or any high office. Stay tuned.
