Protesters Line Street For Governor's Visit (Schwarzengroper)
Protesters Line Street For Governor's Visit

<snip> It was hardly a welcoming committee for Arnold Schwarzenegger in Fresno.

Nurses, teachers, firefighters — nearly all union members — say they've been left out of the governor's dialogue with "ordinary people."

Schwarzenegger blasted the unions in a news conference at the Picadilly Inn. "I think it's an advantage for me for them to show up, so the people of California can see what we're fighting against," said Schwarzenegger.

But outside, one firefighter on the picket line said he's worried the governor will eliminate something called "death benefits." <snip>

1. If nurses, teachers and firefighters are special interests,
COUNT ME IN!

Amybody else get the feeling that this is going to backfire on the Gropenfuhrer?

"I think it's an advantage for me for them to show up, so the people of California can see what we're fighting against," said Schwarzenegger.

Arnold is leading the battle against the evil teachers, fire-fighters and nurses. A deadly special interest cabal against the people of California.


He's got balls. Either that or he's brainless.

7. Yeah, Ahnold's fighting against people who provide vital services.
Why not have a proposition on the ballot to cut elected officials' pay and benefits? Let's see how popular the politicians are, as a "special interest group," with the voters.

3. If we could get rid of all those greedy, self-serving
teachers, nurses, and firefighters then we'd have no problem balancing the budget!
