Arnold is now going to strong arm the Indian tribes.
CNBC is discussing it. I would love to see how he can since
they are independent nations. That man has no shame.

2. I'm listening to Mike Malloy...
and the news just mentioned Arnold. His support came from white, chrisitian males. There's more elements to the demographics, but my short term memory shut down!

Arnold also tangled with the leading Dem in the state house saying he could single handedly repeal the car tax. The response was something like "not so fast". But of course, that's my paraphrase.

What I hate most, tough, is that when Arnold was asked at topday's press conference, if he woould honor his promise to explain about his groperlating - he declared that that was "old news".

Edited on Thu Oct-09-03 09:11 PM by Terwilliger
he ran an ad out here that specifically branded Indian gaming as "big special interest"

He's been going after them ever since Cruz got their support.

"Ohhh, yah...I ahm AHHH-nold...I looking for speerit of co-opation with thee peeple of Kaleefournia!!"

OnEdit: brandishing my branded

4. Funny movie caption
"Terminator goes after Indians".

"Or, Bavarian Immigrant who knows very little about American culture, in post-election zeal, goes after Native Americans in a show of strength to show them who's the boss".

The Native Americans yawn, smile, look out the window. They've seen this before. By now, they are VERY familiar with the game.

7. Yeah, Native Americans just don't hate the govt. enough
They need someone to shatter their illusions and make them distrustful of the government.
</sarcasm>

good luck Arnie, althgough I think after repealing the car tax he has his eyes fixed on those casino revenues.

9. Goodness. That man has so much to learn.
If I recall correctly, there is nothing he can do vis-a-vis the agreements between the state and the casinos until 2020. Maybe by then someone from his newly selected cadre of the *Best & the Brightest* will clue him in on Native American Sovereign Nations. Ya think?

8. Going after Native American Indians'
Casino revenues? Wants Cale fornia to be like Texas. Wasn't there something about Medi cal mentioned? Fixin' to increase the deficit by rescinding the car tax. Gawd knows what else. The guy sure ain't wastin' no time, is he? Wonder how long it will take before Californians realize Davis might not have been as bad as they were lead to believe? :shrug:

10. They bet with their money on Bustamante
and McClintock too I think. Anyway, they lost. They shouldn't expect to be treated like a winner now.

13. Wrong.
Indian gaming gives 100 million dollars to the state and
30 million to non-gaming tribes.

14. Indian gaming is very generous to the community
It donates tons of money to worthwhile programs that would otherwise never enjoy the trickle-down funds from the State.

Leave the Indians alone, Ah-nold!
