The man who was going to "terminate" the special interests is breaking records in raising money from special interests! Including nearly half a million dollars from Fox News Channel parent company News Corp USA. $26 million in 2004, and he's already vowed to raise $50 million for his special election ballot initiatives.
Larry Noble, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics: "It's masterful. One of the things Arnold Schwarzenegger has done very well is to declare everybody else's big donors as special interests and his as interested in good government."
Who does Schwarzenegger consider a special interest?? NURSES! Yes. He's going to "kick their butts."
And who's standing up to this? Robert Greenwald -- my boss, and the director of Outfoxed, Uncovered, etc. He just did a 60 second commercial gratis with the help of all volunteers to let real nurses have a voice. The California Nurses Association (that evil special interest) liked it so much they put $100K into an ad buy to run it throughout the state and on A&E's broadcast of their Arnold movie.
