Who are the economic girlie men?

People who have lost their jobs?
People without health insurance?
People who are struggling to get by?

But hey, if the poor son of a Nazi sympathizer can pull himself up by his bootstraps by taking a lot of steroids and killing a bunch of people on-screen, why can't everyone else?

These people are sick.

People who see the truth through the haze of 'pub BS, and know things are not so rosy (ok, they downright SUCK).

2. The fact that the crowd would cheer such a phrase tells a lot about Pub

delegates - and it won't play well with moderates. Arnold is a "rising star?" What a joke. The more California and the country sees of him, the less they are going to like him, imo.

3. economic girlie men are

men (boys) who would write off the debt owed to the public by Enron and friends. You know who Enrons friends are.

>>Susan Murphy's sister is right: the world is laughing at California. But the real laughter comes from the halls of global corporations, such as the Confederate Cartel, who have once more ducked the bill that should have been paid by them. Arnold is going to forward that bill to unborn generations. There is no laughter from them.<<

(Arnold, by the way, did not raise the energy crisis issue during the recall campaign because of his own very close ties to Ken Lay and Enron).

Schwarzenegger is elected, prompting much embarrassment for us Californians (me especially because of how I like to brag about my home state), and proposes a new electricity deregulation scheme that looks rather alarmingly too similar to the old one.

4. People who are making less than $200K a year

Surprisingly including one of their own.

For some info on a "girlie man" who decided to do a "girlie" thing such as fighting in Vietnam:

5. I think they listed Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx!

"Girlie Men" who wore funny clothes and rumor is that Smith even wore a wig!!! Whoever heard of an economist wearing a wig, with a pony tail!? He must be a girlie man!

Arnold is going to talk next about how Karl never owned a Braun razor, so he's a girlie man for having a such a silly beard!

8. I guess that is an insult by Republican standards but by mine it is a

display of Chauvanism in very Blatant terms. Why women would tolerate such is beyond me. I think we should start calling him and them Nazi/men
