Arnold Out of Touch - Again (Endorses wrong Proposition and Ridicules Rural California)
Posted by Aaron Park on May 03, 2008 at 02:58 PM
Arnold loves Prop 99, his vision for California is to have your house paved over with a strip mall. Heck – Ose could build his Cabana anywhere in that case. Arnold is one of two sitting Governors that call themselves members of the Mainstreet Partnership – check their website…
The Mainstreet Partnership angle bears mention – Arnold is their poster child of what a Republican should be… Post-Partisan. It underscores the differences between the RMSP and the rest of the GOP. Read their scarlet letter if you have any questions about their vision of Unity in the GOP…
As to Arnold – watch him endorse property theft by local government, then read about him ripping on rural California… Nice, eh? Republican Main Street Partnership – the Republicans that are too sophisticated to cling to their Guns and Religion.
Arnold should be campaigning for Ose…

Recent News on Yes Prop. 98
Today’s Orange County Register condemned the governor’s recent opposition to Prop. 98 saying, “It’s disappointing that the governor would embrace such a transparent scare tactic” and encouraging voters to “cut through the smoke screen and realize that Prop. 98 is about protecting their property, and Prop. 99 is about endangering it.” Read the Editorial.
Supporters of Prop. 98 rallied in Redding earlier this week, where small business owner Hardev Bal was one of several property owners who spoke in favor of Prop. 98. Read the story.
Also this week, two more newspapers have urged support for Prop. 98. “The Victorville Daily Press says We urge support for real eminent-domain reform, Prop. 98, and opposition to phony reform, Prop. 99.

Karen England and the CRI had a few things to say about Arnold’s recent comments ripping on Northern Californians:
In a Beverly Hills speech yesterday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made fun of “little town” legislators. Answering a question about why more lawmakers don’t travel the world to bring back ideas for our own nation, Schwarzenegger stated:
“—-I always encourage the legislators in Sacramento, because some of them come from those little towns. (Laughter) You know what I’m saying? They come from those little towns and they don’t have that vision yet of an airport. (Applause) Or of a highway that maybe has 10 lanes or of putting a highway on top of a highway. They look at you and they say, “Well, we don’t have that in my town. What are you talking about?” So they are kind of shocked when you say certain things.”
According to the Sacramento Bee, “His comments on small-town legislators drew laughs and applause from the big-city audience at the Beverly Hilton.”
“Most Californians are from small towns, and those citizens are hard working Americans with traditional values, stated Karen England, executive director for Capitol Resource Institute. “For the governor of California to ridicule legislators, and their constituents, is disgusting.”
“The governor is belittling our existence by attacking our elected representatives as unsophisticated rubes incapable of understanding complex issues of governance and technology,” continued England. “These unbelievable comments are further proof that Arnold Schwarzenegger is completely out of touch with our state and is an elitist.”
“How can we be assured that the governor will defend the average Californian’s values when he laughs at us and considers us backwards hicks?” questioned England.
“The governor’s comments bring to mind Barack Obama’s recent derogatory comments in San Francisco about small town citizens clinging to their guns and Bible,” stated Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Family Impact. “Both elitist politicians had no problem disparaging their constituents in front of friendly audiences in San Francisco and Hollywood. Average ‘little town’ citizens don’t want San Francisco or Hollywood ‘values’ forced upon us by arrogant office holders.”
Tell Governor Schwarzenegger what you think about his insulting comments.

Immigration debate unifies California GOP

PCRA’s own Tom Hudson was quoted in this LA Times article about the GOP unifying around Prop 187.
Moderates lose ground as the primary focuses attention on the issue that once split the party.

Thirteen years after a ballot measure against illegal immigration fractured the state Republican Party, the issue again is front and center in California’s upcoming presidential primary.
Moderates who have argued that an unyielding stance against illegal immigration would further erode the party’s strength in this increasing polyglot state have effectively been silenced by GOP forces calling for a hard-line crackdown.
The escalating rhetoric in the GOP presidential primary has fed their retreat.
So, too, has a striking increase in the number of Californians who blame illegal immigration for the state’s problems.
“There is more unity among Republicans in this state on illegal immigration than on anything else, including taxes,” said Tom Hudson, chairman of the Republican Party in Placer County, near Sacramento, one of the most conservative counties in the state.
3 Judges to decide if 240 Convicts will be released into Placer County
Posted by Aaron Park on November 29, 2007 at 04:25 PM
Take heart – Sacramento stands to get 1,680 of their very own.
Out of the minds of the same liberals who think sending convicted child molesters to group homes in residential neighborhoods – comes a three judge panel that has decided that they know better than us how criminals should be handled.
This panel is to decide how to enforce an absurd prision population cap law that may or may not really exist.
To excerpt the site:
Right now, the latest figures show that there are approximately 170,000 prisoners serving time behind bars in California’s prisons. It is expected that the courts will rule that only 130,000 prisoners can be provided with constitutionally adequate health and mental health services in our current prison facilities.
This means that 40,000 prisoners could soon be released if the federal courts follow through with their threat and impose a population cap.
Democrats hate the three strikes law so bad that they have unified to stop reform until being forced to this year – but only after they knew a court could force the release of some 40,000 felons back on the streets.
If Democrats are successful in getting a ruling from the court ordering the release of criminals, they have effectively destroyed three strikes – because the ruling would cap the prison population and they (the Dems) have successfully thwarted any attempts to build more prisons or to allow private comapnies to compete with the Prison Guards Union.
The Republican Caucus has made a website highlighting the danger Democrats have put us in so they can keep the money flowing in from the Prison Guards.
Bipartisan reform!? Deliberately done way too late to stop what the Courts are going to do…
Schwarzenegger Sets California Fundraising Record
Posted by "Pat Buchanan, Jr." on November 19, 2007 at 09:59 PM
As I’ve stated since the first day Arnie declared to run for Gov and set the recall in overdrive, he continues to be an asset for the CA GOP.
“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the most prolific campaign fundraiser in California history, taking in more than $125 million for his various political committees, according to an Associated Press review of fundraising records.”
“In doing so, he has surpassed Gray Davis, the governor he ousted four years ago in a recall election that focused in large part on Davis’ seemingly incessant fundraising.”
