Senator Dianne Feinstein kicked off the rally for Phil Angelides in West Los Angeles today with the pointed question:
"Which Arnold Schwarzenegger are the people of California voting for?"
Reminding voters that Arnold broke his word when he borrowed money to balance the budget, Feinstein said that Schwarzenegger can't be trusted since he had made a commitment to teachers, cities, firefighters and police, and then would NOT return the moneys as promised the next year.
"There's a difference between Democrats and Republicans. Most Republicans don't really want government, because most Republicans can take care of themselves. They can pay their own health care. They can pay for private schools. They can pay what they need to pay to get by.
For some, for many, for most, government is important. It's important if you're middle class to have good schools. It's important to have health care coverage. It's important to have freeways and highways and streets to be able to get to and from your workplace. That's what you count on government doing. It's important that government protects your social security and your retirement and your pension, because that's all you have. And these are the majority of people that we represent so clearly and loudly. And these are the people for whom Phil Angelides will speak as governor."
