Our
View: California needs help, not Arnold
The
percentages are getting scary in the not
so neck and neck recall race. With Arianna
Huffington pulling her electric car and
her campaign onto the side of the road,
Arnold and his Hummer have pulled ahead
with a grotesque amount of support and a
belly full of lead for many fearful residents.
We
should take this opportunity to ponder what
California would truly be like governed
by Schwarzenegger. We should all ask ourselves,
before we punch that square next to Arnold's
name, what he really stands for and what
that really means.
We
will put aside his gang bang, his pot smoking,
his business shenanigans, his violent movies,
his hypocrisy on immigration issues and
all those other things that make Arnold,
well, Arnold. We will ignore his inane speech
making and the laughable quotes from the
Sacramento debate, his fear of open questioning
and his fuzzy, middle-of-the-road policies.
All
of that aside, we can look objectively at
Arnold, the man, the politician, the actor
who makes $20 million a movie and then says
people in California get paid too much.
Does anybody know what Arnold really stands
for? That is, besides big business, Pete
Wilson and making California a right to
cheap labor state.
People
may not care that the next few years could
be some of the most embarrassing and troublesome
years for California. You may not care about
having upstanding people in the capital,
hah. But how can the GOP advocate a candidate
who has a resume to beat Bill Clinton's,
with sex and drugs and profiteering, and
still say he's what's right for California.
Fly-by-night voters need to think about
the ramifications before placing their vote.
