Schwarzenegger seeks to move past election
Thursday, January 05, 2006 11:33:37 PM



A politically weakened Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sought Thursday to move beyond his failed special election proposals, urging lawmakers to work together and assuring them, "I have learned my lesson."

In his third State of the State speech, Schwarzenegger asked Californians to put behind them a year filled with acrimony over the election and devoid of significant political accomplishment.

It was his first statewide speech since voters rejected all four of his ballot measures on Nov. 8.

"I have absorbed my defeat. I have learned my lesson. And the people, who always have the last word, sent a clear message _ cut the warfare, cool the rhetoric, find common ground and fix the problems together," Schwarzenegger said before a packed Assembly chamber. "To my fellow Californians, I say, 'Message received.'"

Facing re-election in November, the governor tried to persuade Californians to set aside any lingering bitterness over last year's election campaign and regain the bipartisan image that made him so popular during his first year in office.

He has nothing to offer and never did and even the dumshits that voted for him have finally seen through all the bluster and bullshit and realized that we elected a jackass for governor and made cullyfornia a national joke - literally.

7. Remember the End of the First "Terminator" Movie...

...where they got the him into some big industrial press and squashed him.

I'm visualizing Arnie in that press, which is hooked up to some voting machines that still work.

8. People were clearly sending a message way before his stupid special...

election crap but he didn't listen.

Go home, loser.

--I have absorbed my defeat. I have learned my lesson--

10. After California wasted $70 million on a 'special election' he wants to

move on.

True the $70 mil is a sunk cost that cannot be refunded.

However, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be held accountable for his bad decisions.
