Davis Terminated! Arnold becomes Gov...
 

Governor Gray Davis of California has been recalled, and they are now announcing that it appears Arnold Schwarzenegger has won, and is going to be the new Governor of California. Did all our Californian members vote, and what do you think of the recall, election, and Arnold winning.

Not Californian, but this seems to be appropriate:

Free at last, free at last, thank God all mighty we're free at last !!!
Gray Davis is the the worst thing that has happened to this state since Gov. Jerry moonbeam Brown.
People were saying Arnold has no qualifications to be Gov. as if to say, he might screw something up lol You could put the village idiot in there and he couldn't screw things up any worse than Davis has. If qualifications get you what Gray Davis gave us then we need to eleminate people with qualifications.
It's going to be a daunting task to get this state back on it's feet, and it's going to take a lot of stumbling and time to do it, but one thing is for sure, there are a whole bunch of California politicians that have been reminded that you can't sit up on your throne and thumb your nose at the people because the people still run this place.

Good luck to Arnold, I'll bet this is going to be a hard thing to do for him, with sooo many naysayers.

I think he will try his hardest to be the best. Here is what i think.

He wants to get out the movies because he no longer has the tough guy image like he used to. He's getting old, and tired. He wants something that he can sit back on, in his old age, and not have to worry bout his looks. He wants a name for himself, and not just because he made some movie, or used to lift weights.

Now that he can make a real name for himself, I think he will try his hardest to be the best he can.



Gay davis didn't try because he thought he didn't have anything to prove. That he was the best. Wrong Gay Davis.

I'm glad he's gone.





Oh, And it's not a typo, I really did type Gay Davis.

what-chu talkin bout Dan, Gary Coleman won!

:p

Point I feel needs to be expressed is 2 people that were in one of the best movies ever, Predator are governor!:) Arrnold and Jessie the body. DAMN what a great movie. I'm kinda mad Arnold won cause I want him to make some more movies cause his movies rock not one sucked!!

Recall
 

I hope that Arnold will get a fair shake and that if he can't produce a quick fix to the state's problems that the voters don't go after him like Davis. It will take time for California's fiscal problems to be solved and the Governor AND the Legisalture most work cooperatively to do what's best for the Golden State.
Even though I live on the east coast, what goes in California finds a way to have a ripple effect on much of the nation.Remeber, patience is a virture....just my 2 cents worth...
MHH

I hope hes not a brain washed Hollywood actor that has no idea what the average American wants, likes etc. Hope when he visits his inlaws, he doesn't agree with anything they say.

He is anti gun, that I don't like.

But, since I don't live over there it doesn't matter much to me anyway.

I am not too thrilled about this :rolleyes:


My fiancee's dad did get 229 votes .. LOL

Arnold is not "anti" gun. He plainly stated he was for the right to bare arms, but at the same time he was for "gun control". Like the Bradey bill, background checks, and waiting periods, gun locks... etc. There's a big difference there. In my opinion, he has taken the responsible point of view and position regarding this issue.

Yeah, I heard an interview where he said he wasn't interested in more gun control laws, just enforcement of what we've got on the books.

He says hes pro-gun, but for sensible gun control. Whaa? I can't see him making it any clearer. Atleast in my own mind thats "anti- gun."

Riding the fence.

Good luck to all of you California members...this just reinforces my belief that California is destined to fall into the ocean. This just wreaks of Ronald Reagan. At least Arnold can't run for prez.

well if we fall in the ocean there goes most of the US' economy :p

Thank old Ronnie for the fall of the Soviet Union and a large section of communism.

Also thank him for the economic upswing of the 80s and 90s.
(Which Bush Sr. and Clinton gladly took credit for)

A much better President than Carter and Clintoon put together...

I'm not sure I'm ready to give Reagan that much credit. Just because things happened during his term doesn't mean he gets the credit. We weren't the only ones who were railing against communism and I'm not convinced Reagan had any great economic ideas...just good advisors. I think he basically just napped towards glory. But by just about any standard Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. made him look like a genius.

If I was a youngin' I might think as you do.

I lived through the Mr. Peanut "Carter" years and saw the post-Vietnam decline of the military. It was bad, real bad...

Drug use in active duty members was at an all time high. Moral at an all time low.

The totally hosed Iran hostage rescue attempt was a direct result of this.

I agree that no one man (or President) should take credit for things such as the economy, as most major economic recommendations are submitted by appointed advisors, and there are just too many outside factors....

But, the advisors are appointed by the President, its the ultimate case of its not what you know, its WHO you know.

The Russians literally went broke trying to match our defense spending, and as much controversy as the "Star Wars" program generated, it was certainly entertaining to watch the Soviets try to deal with it.

Of course, this was not the only reason for the fall of the USSR, but it helped.

Because of Reagan and his administration, all of Germany can now hold up demonstration signs about how "evil" we are in Iraq. I guess freedom and democracy is OK for them, but no one else is worthy.... Isn't freedom of speech grand? ;)

Oh I can only hope bro, I can only hope !!

Ronald Reagan and his cabinet held a great presidency :)
