Why Would I Listen To Losers?

Some words of advice from Schwarzenegger to President Bush? (Courtesy of Dan Weintraub.)

At his press conference today, Schwarzenegger was asked if he would listen to new Senate Leader Don Perata's advice to raise taxes. His reply was not diplomatic. But it was clear:

"Why would I listen to losers? I mean let’s be honest…They have lost every single ballot in the Bay Area. Everything. The big spenders wanted to go increase taxes. Many different taxes and fees. They lost all of that. In Los Angeles it lost. People don’t want to be taxed. They feel like it’s the government’s responsibility to live within the means of what they get. Rather than every single time to go out and say let’s spend more. We ran out of money. We spent too much. Let’s go and spend more. The Democratic candidates, all of those things that have been proposed in tax increases have lost. Therefore why would we go and follow a losing formula? It doesn’t make any sense.”
