Ah-nold's true colors.

I thought Arnold Schwartzenegger's election to governor of California would be harmless, despite all the chest-beating by nationwide Republicans. But it's looking like Ah-nold is now showing his true policy beliefs. And he's plummeting in the polls because of it.

Instead of taking on the big special interests--such as Big Energy, Big Insurance, and Big Pharma--who have proven time and again they intend to milk Americans for every dime (CA's energy scandal was particularly devious), Ah-nold has decided to bring down a whole 'nother level of special interests... California's nurses, firefighters, police officers and teachers.

Just like the previous "actor" who ran California, Ah-nold believes that paying wages and benefits to those who work is the greatest problem in society. (Reagan called the minimum wage "evil".) Pension plans, not price gouging by energy companies, is what needs fighting. At least as Ah-nold sees it.

And just like Reagan, Ah-nold might be a second-rate actor, but he's become a first-rate Republican. Thank God he can't be president.
