Governator: Congress Is Full of Wimps

Schwarzenegger eyes return to acting

(Newser) – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is on his way out of office with dismal approval ratings and a proposition to dismantle much of his legacy on the ballot—but he's going out fighting. In an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, the once-and-future Terminator slammed the "wimps" in Congress for not standing up to the oil companies and argued that his state's energy policy, which Proposition 23 aims to roll back, should be a model for the country.

Schwarzenegger, however, has no plans to seek office in DC and take the fight to the wimps. He plans to write his memoirs after leaving office and may return to the movies. "If James Cameron or Ivan Reitman or someone that I trust come with a great script, where I look at things and say, 'That's me. I can play that,' it could be something like that," he said. Schwarzenegger has already teamed up with Terminator director Cameron again to make an ad urging voters to defeat Proposition 23.

This is from a clown that gave the state to the illegals. From the L. A. Times 1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card. 2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. 4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers. 5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. 6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. 7.The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 8 Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking. 10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County .) (All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. We are fools for letting this continue
