Schwarzenegger Attacks The Tea Party & GOP; Pouts, Touts, Spouts

"Arnold, you are no Ronald Reagan."   Yes, Reagan’s son, Mike, said this about a year ago at a Tea Party Tax Day Rally, one of many held across the nation. :  “Michael Reagan, the talk show host and son of the former president, drew one of the loudest roars of the day when he ripped Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Sacramento event by saying, "Arnold, you are no Ronald Reagan." Article   Once touted as a Conservative and fiscally responsible, Schwarzenegger’s California public approval rating is in the tank.  He pouts about his state’s deficit, puts the blame on immigrants, and spouts against the GOP and the Tea Party in recent interviews.  After all, he’s in his last term, and his pouting and spouting over circumstances now out of control would make the ‘Predator’ of the evil deficit and corresponding poll numbers carry the day.  
“Conservatives, once the bulwark of his support, disapprove of Schwarzenegger's job performance now by nearly 2 to 1, according to the poll by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.  Overall, just 33% of California adults give Schwarzenegger a positive job rating, barely above the record low of 32% that he hit in 2005 after pushing a package of failed ballot measures in a special election”, according to the LA Times.   Article 
ABC carries his words regarding the GOP and Tea Party:  SCHWARZENEGGER: “ They're the party of no, and at the same time, I think that there are a lot of people that are disenchanted and dissatisfied and they're angry and this is why you have the Tea Party and all of those things.  The Tea Party is not going to go anywhere.   I think the Tea Party is all about just an expression of anger and dissatisfaction and I see it in California when people come up to me and says, you know I'm angry that you guys don't get along in Sacramento.  I'm angry that they're not getting along in Washington.  I'm angry that nothing gets done.  I'm angry that I'm unemployed.  I'm angry that people are losing homes. I'm angry that businesses are losing their businesses and all of those kind of things.  And the economy is down. Video
As a beggar in the streets, he takes his tin cup to the White House for a bailout while writing IOUs within California.  The Tea Party will long outlast the Governator’s term and is now more popular than both political parties.  He can play the blame game, call people hypocrites, and the only thing he has left is a possible movie gig; perhaps ‘Terminator vs. the Tea Party’. 
Sorry Gov., but this time the Tea Party’s spout is looking at you.
