Arnold ties for the most charges without having that one. He manages to occasionally put the interests of California over far right-wing ideology, but he's still terrible.

Really? If Arnold is far right, then Bernie Sanders is a moderate.



Arnold can be pretty far right on certain issues, at least on certain days. I'll admit that as Republicans go he is one of the least consistently far right. But that doesn't prevent him from doing some pretty far right things. He particularly seems to hate public transit.

I get the feeling Arnold means well, but he hasn't got the slightest idea of what he's doing.

I don't hold any grudge against Arnold Schwarzenegger.  I'll be happy when he's out doing Junior 2 and Jingle All The Way 2 and not trying to do things he's profoundly unqualified to do, though.

Oh the hypocrisy!



wtf

Crist really hasn't screwed up anything. The economy isn't his fault.

Property taxes are still high.

There's something wrong if yours didn't go down. Considering your property is taxed upon the assessed value, and most homes went down in value in Florida, your tax should have gone down. At least mine did.

The problem with you is the rumor is true, Rubio really is the Republican Obama. And you're getting suck into the same rhetoric that Obama promised. Please, return to your herd.

Who sets property tax rates in Florida? Here in Virginia, it's done at the county/city level; the governor doesn't have anything to do with it, outside of tangential things like cutting the state budget so that localities have to make up for it.

Herd? LOL I wish their WAS a herd of people who thought like me. This country might actually move towards real freedom.

That's exactly how it's done in Minnesota too. Minneapolis has its own board for setting property taxes and valuing property.

O'Malley was a sh**t mayor of Baltimore and is a sh**t governor of Maryland.

The recently-deposed mayor Sheila Dixon was a million times more effective than O'Malley.

You mean the Governor who brought us to the #1 education rating in the country?  Or the one who's term has seen the most job growth out of any state since the national/international recession began?

It's a little known fact in Illinois,  but Blago was impeached...
