This is comical. 'Judge him on what he's done, not what he says'. :rofl:

2. Actually, he sounded pretty good to me. Logical, even if he has that
rethug thing going on. He totally discounts this admin regarding their disregard for what nature is doing because of us, i.e., global warming.

Schwarzenegger: Bush 'bogus' on climate
Any action the White House took now would have been 'bogus,' he says

The Swamp

by Mark Silva

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pumped up President Bush in a re-election campaign rally at a Columbus, Ohio, hockey arena four years ago. But Bush has let Schwarzenegger, and the world, down on global warming, the governor maintains.

""This administration did not believe in global warming," Schwarzenegger told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an interview that will air Sunday on ABC's This Week.

"They just didn't believe in it or they didn't believe that they should do anything about it, since China is not doing anything about it and since India is not willing to do the same thing, so why should we do the same thing?" Schwarzenegger maintains - and that's not the American way, says this son of Austria who found his fortune in his adopted homeland.

"We don't wait for other countries to do the same thing,'' Schwarzenegger tells Stephanopoulos (there's a couple of mouthsful for you). "That's what makes America number one... And I think we have a good opportunity to do the same thing, also, with fighting global warming.''

Schwarzenegger's comments follow the Environmental Protection Agency's decision not to take further action against global warming during the remainder of Bush's presidency.

"To be honest with you, if they would have done something this year, I would have thought it was bogus anyway," the governor says. "You don't change global warming and you don't really have an effect by doing something six months before you leave office....

"This administration did not believe that and greenhouse gases is a pollutant,'' he says. "They fought this in court and then finally the Supreme Court had to tell them, 'Yes, it is a pollutant.''

The Republican governor also seizes the opportunity of this appearance on the Sunday morning talk show to tout his own state's initiatives on climate change: "I'm very happy that California is in the forefront. We are very aggressive. We have made a commitment to roll back our greenhouse gas emissions to the 1990 level ... We didn't wait for Washington.

"The administration and the federal government have been terrific partners in a lot of things for us and we have worked together very well,'' Schwarzenegger says, "but environmental issues was not one of them."

4. see post number 3 for starters
add that to cutting off mental health services for the homeless, building bigger prisons, gutting our state's economy and starting out as the foil for our state's lawsuit against Enron for 9 billion dollars.

Plus, he is dragging his feet on environmental issues. You have to remember that California's senate and assembly are both democratic and what is being done is being done in spite of him.

3. Ahnold called worried working class men, "economic girlie men" in his 2004 speech supporting Bush
at the RNC convention. That would make a great clip for a DNC ad, along with other brilliant sayings from GOPs like Gramm.
