Judgment Day
Hugh Hewitt pointed us to this L.A. Times account of Arnold Schwarzenegger's appearance at a California shopping mall yesterday. The crowd went wild when Arnold threatened to bring judgment day to the entrenched interests in Sacramento on Nov. 2:
They cannot have the guts to come out there in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you. I want to represent those special interests: the unions, the trial lawyers'…. I call them girlie men. They should get back to the table, and they should finish the budget...I want each and every one of you to go the polls on Nov. 2. That will be judgment day. I want you to go to the polls…. You are the terminators, yes!
The Democrats were deeply wounded: "It's really painful to hear the governor resort to such blatant homophobia," said Sen. Sheila Kuehl. Even lamer was Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez: "He says he's going to 'terminate' members in November? I really don't know what he means by that."
I think the voters have a pretty good idea. Give 'em hell, Arnold!
