Arnold calls Democrats 'Losers'

[Technosoul]

During a press conference today a reporter ask Arnold if he would work with Democrats if they offered some suggestions, and he answered "why should I listen to losers" - then walked off stage without taking more questions. Right away the local news stations here reported that he was calling Democrats losers in a negative way.

He also is famous for calling Democrats "girlie men" and for saying that the "Indians are ripping us off".

Now I might be a bit of a girlie man for saying this but it seems he was being a bit insensitive calling Democrats a bunch of losers while they are trying to recover from the reality we might have to put up with Bush for another four years (impeachments pending).

Wonder if all Republicans feel the same?

You have a link to that? That is a pretty bold statement coming from a politician isn't it?

This was a fast breaking news story on my part, perhaps by tomorrow something will show up on the internet. Patience, I am sometimes ahead of the pack.

They just did the story on MSNBC. He wasn't really calling Dems losers, he was referring to a bunch of ballot initiatives involving budget referendums that they lost on.

Welcome to Technosouls breaking news blog! If your going to directly quote statements SOURCE IT before you take it out of context! How many times must this be said? I heard that interview and I cringed when he said that stuff too, but he didn't just walk off and it makes more sense.... Oh, nevermind. You don't listen anyway.

Yep, later on they attempted to do some "damage control" explaination of his remarks. I think it had something to do with taxes and the state budget.

So he might have been saying in effect - why rehash ideas that already lost the support of the majority? However the reporter asked directly if he would concider suggestions from the democats about those topics and he said "why listen to losers" (because the Republicans won the election and Bush won?) That seemed to be the impression he made.

But in spite of his remarks here within the state of California the majority of state voters did go with the democratic ticket, and people like Barbara Boxer won overwhelming support. Thinking in national terms is not the same as thinking relative the opinions of people just in his state - he was thinking presidental and not as a Governor. In my opinion - but then on the other hand I do not think he was even thinking about what he was saying - just blurted it out. What we were in witness of was him speaking from has own personality which is deeply rooted in his past as a bully jock, a male "weight lifter" type of "shop talk" that agressive sports people use when in compitition with each other. I could tell by his face that he knew he had goofed with that remark as he promptly departed as the reporters "gasped" and chuckled outload in reaction to it. It is just part of his personality and perhaps not really what happens when he gets down to talking things over in meetings, I shoud hope.

As requested here is a linkpage - but remember you got it first right here from my news story.

If the retard cant speak english or properly convey his meaning, dont you think he is wrong for the job?

The fourteen year old mentality that elected him is probably eating this up. Shameful.

SF Chronicle [SIZE=3] Schwarzenegger closes ears to Democrat 'losers' [/SIZE] He taps Republican as money chief, vows not to increase taxes Lynda Gledhill, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau Friday, November 5, 2004 Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he won't listen to "losers'' in the Democrat-controlled Legislature who advocate raising taxes to close a looming budget deficit as he announced that former South Bay Republican Rep. Tom Campbell will head his finance department.

Maybe somebody should remind Arnie that the Democrat "losers" that he is insulting (the majority of voters in California)actually voted for Kerry. He is throwing insults at people that have him out numbered.
All brawn and no brains.

Now now, don't be a girlie man, don't you know the Democrats are ripping us off with their tax expendatures just like them Injuns

Hows it hangin' Dude.

No I do not mean your purse you girlie gay Democatric Indian. Oppps, did I say something worng? Call in the damage control folks so they can re-write what I mean.

Aftter you visit California politics we also have Disneyland and Hollywood for you to check out. Have fun.

I heard the clip on the radio. I think it is ridiculous that Arnie is governor, but his comment is technically it's true isn't? Their candidate lost and the democrat philosophy is one of hating power and hating winners, and implementing policy to take them down isn't it?

Schwarzenegger is NOT a politician, he is an actor trading on his celebrity to run for an office he is probably nowhere near qualified for. If he wasn't the Terminator I doubt he could succesfully run for register of wills.
But then again, it IS California, after all, and we sure do worship our movie stars.

As long as Arnold remains a RINO and passes progressive legislation, it works for me.

California Passes Stem Cell, Children's Hospitals Initiatives

--"Schwarzenegger broke Republican Party ranks to support the Proposition 71 stem cell measure in what became a battle of Hollywood headliners. The actor-turned-governor teamed with late "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve and "Family Ties" actor Michael J. Fox to promote research supporters say will jump-start biotechnology and lead to breakthroughs for medical cures."--
