Schwarzenegger Reiterates Anti-Tax Theme And Will Ask Bush For Help

[CShine]

Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday renewed his pledge not to raise taxes and vowed to work cooperatively with California's Democratic leaders.

At a 25-minute news conference in Los Angeles, the Republican also reiterated his plans to roll back the state's vehicle license fee, or car tax — despite legal disputes over whether he can — and said he planned to put his lucrative movie career on hold.

"The people of California want me to be their governor, and I will do that and nothing else," Schwarzenegger said. "There will be no time for movies, or anything else. I will pay full attention to this job."

The day after ousting Democrat Gray Davis in the first recall vote in California history, Schwarzenegger garnered headlines across the globe and fielded congratulatory phone calls from a who's who of leaders, from President Bush to former South African President Nelson Mandela.

1. Well, his acting career has long been dead.

I refuse to buy/watch T3.

He's a two-bit actor with no acting skills of his own.

2. Terminator III lost money and he is not the box office

hit he used to be.

[Ouabache]

3. He wants federal tax monies from the rest of the country to maintain

his anti-tax promises for California.

Rest of the country will be glad to hear about that ! No doubt.

4. Look for my letter to the Times tommorow

Notice how Bush will NOW help California? Now that they have their lap dog in Sacto.

[Clete]

16. Isn't that the disgusting truth.

The minute Arnold said that he would need federal help, I knew it, the money Bush wouldn't give to California because Davis asked for it would now be given to Arnold.

5. Watch for California's credit rating

to improve rather artifically too.

12. If he needs money, let him collect what energy companies owe

6. asking bush for help

sounds like a great idea. california could invade say baja new mexico, cut taxes, create a bigger deficit, get people killed off by the hundreds, and appoint wierdos and megalomaniacs to his staff.

oh wait he took care of the last one already

[roguevalley]

7. EVERY governor in this country needs to ask for the same help

If they don't they are crazy. Explode the lie.

[muckadoo]

8. This could be bad for Bush

roguevalley is right; this whole thing could end up turning on Bush. The Freepers might not be happy for long.

9. Good...if * gives Cali some dough.....

then we all deserve a few $$$$ to get our asses out of debt that * caused!

[leesa]

15. Of course it's our money anyway.

What sleaze these freaks are.

[Emillereid]

10. Yeah, now Bush will help. But during the energy crisis

manufactured by his friends, he wouldn't even return Diane Feinstein's phone calls. Republicans are beyond the beyonds when it comes to hypocrisy.

11. So when is Halburton coming to Sacramento

To help "rebuild" Cali-fo-nia?
