40%!!!!!!!!

A poll published in today's Sacramento Bee has Arnold's approval rating at an abysmal 40%, the lowest point of his pseudo-Governorship.

His approval rating was 60% just three months ago, but that was before the teachers, nurses, and this humble blog began fighting the good fight.

Somewhere in West LA, exiled Governor Gray Davis has got to be having a good laugh...

The Hits Keep Coming

It seems the "Governator" can't get a break these days...and we couldn't be happier!

Schwarzenegger backed off yet another proposal today, acknowledging his plan to re-district state legislative districts by 2006 is going nowhere. Re-districting traditionally takes place after each census to account for population shifts, unless of course you have Tom DeLay backing the plan, and hey, who wouldn't want to be compared to Tom DeLay these days...

Meanwhile, Arnold's hand picked state education secretary resigned today. Richard Riordan, now pushing 180 years old, announced his resignation amidst polls that indicate the public's faith in the administration's education policies is at an all time low. Teachers and parents are angry and it seems Riordan was served up as the sacrificial lamb. The office of education secretary is redundant and powerless as you may know, the real power lying with the elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell (D).

Another Defeat for Arnold

Recently, Recall Arnold Schwarzenegger reported on Schwarzenegger's heartless plan to steal money from poor old folks after they die. We are please to announce that after a month of pressure from the good people of California, including this humble blog, Arnold has admitted defeat on the issue and withdrawn the proposal.

Taking back California, one bird brained scheme beaten back at a time...

Arnold: My English Sucks

Issuing the one and only explanation we at Recall Arnold Schwarzenegger might actually buy, the "Governator" blamed his call to "close" the Mexican border on his piss poor English skills. He issued this equally incomprehensible apology: "Yesterday was a total screw-up in the words I used, because instead of 'closing,' I meant 'securing.' I think maybe my English, I need to go back to school and study a little bit." Having been forced to hear our Governor mispronounce the name of this state and "all of dose tings" for two years now, we're inclined to believe him. However, this heartfelt apology didn't seem to satisfy his wealthy xenophobic base who fear waves of illegals are coming to take those strawberry picking jobs they want for themselves away, nor did it satisfy the third of Californians who are of Hispanic origin.

Its not a good week for Arnold's cigar salesman either, a bill currently in the State Assembly would ban cigar smoking in the Capitol courtyard.

43% Never Sounded So Good

It seems the anti-Arnold efforts throughout the state (not to mention this humble blog) have had a devastating effect on the "Governator". In a new poll, California voters have given Arnold a 43% approval rating! We'd like to take a minute to thank the nurses, teachers, and other groups who have launched an impressive campaign opposing Arnold's crackpot schemes. Some other interesting numbers in the poll:

-49% think he is too interested in gimmicks
-62% think he should try to work better with the state legislature

With such a staggering drop in approval, it was no surprise that Arnold this week conceeded defeat on his plan to overhaul CALPERS, the state retirement system. Score one for the good guys!

Vote for What Again???

It seems the increasingly unpopular 'Governator' can't go anywhere these days without running into massive protests. Last night, Arnold was greeted by some 2000 protestors in San Francisco. Arnold was "looking out for the people" again...looking out for the people who can afford his $1,000-$100,000 per plate fundraiser anyway.

Back in Sacramento, GOP insiders are becoming concerned. Their one time poster boy is now pushing an unpopular and complex "reform" agenda that could go down in flames. About the only thing Arnold has accomplished recently is uniting virtually every Democratic interest group in the state against his bird brained policy proposals. Now you might be saying, "Hey, isn't bird brained a little harsh?" Normally you may be right, but as Dan Walters of the Sacramento Bee tells us, one major problem with Arnold's agenda is no one, not even on his staff, knows what it is supposed to be. Just weeks away from the deadline to call a special election, the Arnold camp STILL hasn't finished writing the very propositions he's asking Californian's to support.
