"imbecile Republican" is a redundancy.

After having read the article I'm pretty sure the alleged context suggested is pretty accurate.

Hahaha .
To be fair, I actually kinda like the Ahnold. And I don't hardly think he was the state's worst guvnor.

But really, if you're going to be a politician, you need to think about how what you say is going to be quoted -- like I just did. This is fodder for every comedian since Confucious.

Sorry,Arnold was a huge failure who governed as a leftist Democrat. He loved to compromise and look at what happened.

Yes. Do look. The boys on Wall St. ran a huge scam for years and years and took the whole national economy down, particularly by way of the housing market that Ahnold had no control over anymore than anyone else, other than the crooks. And that crashed California. And that then opens the door for the uniformed and slow-witted to blame whoever they want without thinking for two seconds.

He made a half-hearted attempt at some serious reform in his first term. Bit off more than he could chew. Voters rebuffed his reforms and then he had to deal with the screwballs who dominate the legislature for the rest of his term. He should have stuck to his guns. Not compromised even at the risk of failing to get re-elected.

As it is he is a failure. You can't compromise with the left. It's compromising with thieves and a liars. You give away your principles. Lefties don't respect those who compromise. At best they tolerate them and raise their demands for further compromise.

Lefties need to be called out every time they lie. And opposed tooth-and-nail. Power is all that lefties respect. Weakness emboldens them.
