Schwarzenegger: Democrats Are 'Losers'
Two days after the Democrats took a drubbing at the polls across the country,
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger referred to leaders of the state's majority party as
"losers."
At a Thursday news conference, the Republican governor who branded Democrats
"girlie men" during a budget fight last year was asked whether he would listen
to tax-increase proposals from Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata or other
Democratic leaders.
"Why would I listen to losers?" Schwarzenegger asked. "Let's be honest."
As soon as he made that remark, however, he tried to suggest he was referring
not to Democrats themselves, but to their tax-increase proposals.
Schwarzenegger said that Democrats had "lost every single ballot in the Bay
Area" and that "the big spenders wanted to go with increased taxes, many
different taxes and fees and all kinds of things and lost all of that."
"And in Los Angeles it lost. People don't want to be taxed," he said. He added:
"Why would we go and follow a losing formula? It doesn't make any sense."
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson said the governor was talking about
ballot measures in the Bay Area and in Los Angeles that lost at the polls
Tuesday.
A spokesman for Perata declined to comment on the remark.
