That could be because neither one was conservative. You don't get it, apparently. It's not enough to simply be aligned with the party....we actually expect our politicians to live up to the standard they claim.
Conservatism works wherever it's tried. Unfortunately W and Arnie didn't try it.
We certainly could use more of this in America.
Here is the conservative wet dream for America:
* Easily replaceable, dirt-cheap labor.
* No pesky "socialist" unions whining about things like workplace safety and so-called "rights". [sneer]
* All this great, affordable merchandise to sell back to poor and unemployed, but happy, Americans.
Republican corporate nirvana.
What's not to like about this? Why union-loving liberals just don't get the free market concept is beyond me.
After the disastrous 8 years of a Republican governor in California, it looks like things are slightly improving under Governor Jerry Brown. He inherited a HUGE mess left by the GOP (just like Obama is cleaning up the Bush droppings).
California now leads the nation in job growth, and unemployment is declining. It's great news, considering how it was doing just fine before Arnold completely destroyed it.
I chose not to vote in your poll but sure do wonder when you will post one about whose mess Obama will be inheriting in January 2013. I sure hope I can see it when you post it so I can vote that it surely is his mess, since he had 4 years and said he could clean it up in 3 years.

Nice try comparing a business in Bangladesh to one in the US.

Anyone else remember how Arnold Schwarzenegger was practically greeted as some sort of messiah by the GOP 8 years ago? How he was going to bring California "fiscal responsibility", and instead left office with massive debt and unemployment?
Now conservatives are throwing him under the bus, just like they're doing to Dumbya Bush.
Nope.
Don't remember that.
The California House and Senate are run by liberals (mostly Democrats) and have been for decades.
Doesn't really matter who the Governor is.
As was the case with Bush, the Executives don't rule by decree the way a King would.
Did you happen to flunk civics when in high school?
I voted 3-4 years, before the GOP mess in the Golden State is finally fixed. Thanks, Governor Brown!
By all means thank Jerry Brown. After all, he's the one who sold the state to the labor unions back in the 70s. And look who his biggest supporters are now. It will be interesting to see what happens from here on, since the Democrats now have the super majority in both houses of the legislature they wanted and a governor who will likely do their bidding. You seem to conveniently forget which party has had the majority most of the past 40 years.
Only in your mind. No one is advocating ZERO rules.
Everything I mentioned is promoted on conservative media. Deregulation, no collective bargaining.
The "magic of the marketplace" if only government "gets out of the way" (referring to regulation).
An end to the EPA, FDA, all consumer protection, and others. Whatever federal agencies exist, corporations and the "free market" can do it better. What a crock!
So what else is there, laws? These are regulation.
Perhaps this is an example of the "regulation" republicans can embrace. Why Republicans Hate Warren’s CFPB But Love Another Bank Regulator | Institute for Local Self-Reliance
