Aligned Quotes
I've never seen a situation at a Republican convention where the conservative groups have all been aligned for two things: One is not supporting a governor's election, and the second thing is indicating that they unilaterally and categorically reject all of the governor's policy initiatives. This governor has gotten a free pass from conservatives for two years. The party is over.
-
Afraid Quotes
The secretary of state and Rick Perry must be very afraid to throw up all the roadblocks they're attempting to throw up against us which are both unlawful and unconstitutional. The partisan secretary of state is doing all he can to deny the people a real choice for change in November. The governor certainly is calling the shots.
-
Affect Quotes
The strongest supporters of Arnold Schwarzenegger right now are Republican voters, and they are strongly opposed to gay marriage. If the governor were to sign the legislation, the support would collapse among his base. It would negatively affect turnout for the special election, as well as badly damage his expected re-election campaign.
-
Benefits Quotes
The study will continue. Gov. Rell is concerned about the long-term outlook in Connecticut. The governor wants to be sure the state is prepared for anything nature throws at us. To respond adequately, we need to prepare adequately. The studies the governor's work group is undertaking will provide benefits for many years to come.
-
Anger Quotes
The spectacle of a mayor and a governor throwing mud at each other while the city and the area were floundering was not a pretty one. That's another area where it's going to take some time and some historians to figure out whether he was let down by the government or not. On the other hand, his anger at those with a higher place on the hierarchy is an understandable one.
-
Appears Quotes
Thanks to the governor and many others working late into the night locating existing space in shelters and FEMA flying evacuees out, it appears we were able to locate shelters for the evacuees destined for tents at Camp Minden, ... Humane considerations, 102 degree temperatures and a possibility of 30 rain over northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana all drove efforts to find other sites.
-
Case Quotes
Romney is a classic case of re-invention. As governor of Massachusetts, he supported government-sponsored healthcare, was sympathetic to gay rights, and opposed harsh restrictions on abortion. After measuring the difference between the Massachusetts electorate and the national one to which he must now appeal, he has reversed those positions.
-
Crown Quotes
Proposition 75 is the crown jewel of the Bush-Schwarzenegger agenda, straight out of the (Bush adviser) Karl Rove playbook. This is what's important in this election. Everything else is just a mask, ... It's unfair, not right -- and we'll defeat it when the people understand the governor is for it.
-
Belongs Quotes
People forget sometimes that this money belongs to the hard-working people of this state. The governor has been very consistent that after all the trust and reserve funds have been repaid and money remains beyond what is needed for core services, the rest ought to go back to the people of this state.

Assigned Quotes
The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.

Approved Quotes
Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.

Believe Quotes
A plan for improved tourism and recreation in Nebraska starts with a new vision for Nebraska. It will take a governor who not only inspires citizens with this new vision, but a governor who can strategize and sell this new vision to make it a reality. I believe I am the one who can do this for our state! For more than three years now, I have been developing new creative ideas to expand tourism and recreation.
-
California Quotes
That's why we have a Constitution, to make sure nobody's fundamental rights are trampled because of the latest public opinion poll. Whether or not Gov. Schwarzenegger fulfills his promise to be a governor for all the people of California by signing this bill, we will continue to work within the judicial system until same-sex couples in California have full equality.

Both Quotes
That's not a concern, frankly. I think as a result of our discussions with Governor Richardson, I think we both share an interest in seeing North Korea make the right decision with regard to ending its nuclear program and choosing a path of reintegration with the international community.

Bring Quotes
A large part of our planning effort, and something we're putting a very high priority on this year, is working with our partners in the counties to document what capacity do we have to bring up our health-care delivery system, to exceed the capacities we have today. And to come back to the Legislature and to the governor and say this is where we see the gaps and these are the targeted changes we need.

Alabama Quotes
Alabama's unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in five years. Alabama leads the nation by having the biggest drop in unemployment rate in the last 12 months. Since the governor came into office there have been 500 announcements where new companies have come to Alabama or existing businesses have expanded.
-
Agreement Quotes
This is a real test for the governor. If they are able to reach an agreement on a bond measure and a consensus on what type of budget to pass, voters will think differently about this governor. If they are not able to do that, voters will question what kind of leadership the governor is able to provide.

Change Quotes
This is an unprecedented move in giving the governor veto power over an energy project in federal waters in the outer continental shelf. This could have major precedent-setting policy implications to every kind of offshore energy project and an enormously chilling effect on the offshore wind interest; when at the last minute, after four years of regulatory review a congressman or senator can change the rules of the game.
