Taking an aggressive, vocal stance not seen among Republicans for some years, Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar has stuck by his guns, not only refusing to apologize for calling the Democratic players involved in the budget process "Girlie Men" but also promising to continue calling them "Girlie Men" until they pass his budget.
"For far too long, Republicans in this state and nationwide have capitulated to the rants and complaints of Democratic Girlie Men in our state halls of democracy and our national Congress," Schwarzeneggar spoke Tuesday morning to a group of reporters. "We Republicans must put our feet down, and hold to our ideals of a limited government that leaves money and freedom and responsibility in the hands of our citizen, not in the pockets of our Girlie Men politicians."
Schwarzeneggar's comments have enraged California's homosexuals, who feel the term "Girlie Men" is derisive and insulting to gay people. By most polls, though, Californians think that those upset by the comments should "get a life" and stop being such "wussies".
