Name calling has always
impresed me in as a leadership attribute.

Hey, at the very
least, he's setting a good example for the young'ns.
Such class.

Or, are they setting an example
for him?
"Your a buggerhead"
"Am not, you are"
"Uh huh, you are"
"Your mean, I don't wanna play with you
anymore"
"Baby!"
The state senate or the school yard, I can't tell.

His name will probably be on my
college diploma very soon. Oy!

Finally, Arnold is
pulling the gloves off! That's what we elected him to do. The state legislature has been a pit of special
interest corruption for decades. I'm all for his proposals to:
1) make it a part time legislature
2)
which implies a big cut in pay
3) and fixing that reduced pay for some years, say 5, and
4) redistricting to
eliminate all these safe seats.
Tut tut all you want, but strong words are a fair warning before strong
action.

It doesn't bother me
personally, but it might not be a prudent thing to say as Governor of California, as offending groups like that is
self-defeating for a politician. I say a lot of un-PC things myself. But I would try to leave insensitive things out
of official gov't communications if it were me, as such things kill the message often, preventing it from being
really heard and understood, and reducing effectiveness. It's not the right way, from a political skills
standpoint. No one that voted for Arnold should be complaining, however, as that is just who he is. He has a he-man
jock mentality. If Ditka gets elected it will be da same ting, only worse.

I don't understand why
"girlie-man" is anti-gay. He wasn't calling the legislators fags. I liked his speech.

The only people complaining are
the ones who benefit from "political correctness." Those are the people we have to bust and the broader population
understands that.
"Political correctness" is just a mindgame to cover for special interest giveaways and the
takeaway of general freedom. Of course we all need a degree of politeness in public discourse but there comes a
time.
Besides, Arnold's principal opponent, John Burton, is a notorious foul mouth. Arnold's speech is
G-rated in comparison.

Of course
we all need a degree of politeness in public discourse but there comes a time....for adolescent
emotionalism. :trout:
