Posted by SMAZ on Wed Feb 24 17:31:54 2010 Arnold Schwarzenegger: Tea parties will 'disappear'POLITICO California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger believes that the tea party movement is “not going anywhere.” Schwarzenegger, speaking Tuesday night with Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren, said the grass-roots movement is only “an expression of anger and disappointment.” “People meet. They talk about it. What can we change? How? And it's all healthy and it's all good,” California’s Republican governor said. “But I'm just saying they're not going anywhere with it because nobody is coming up and saying, ‘Here's our candidate, here's our solution, here’s what we're going to do, and have a whole policy debate over the various different issues.’” Schwarzenegger explained that he has seen the frustration that fuels the tea parties, but has yet to see anything that distinguishes the movement as more than a backlash to the economic downturn. “They’re disappointed of the unemployment rate. They're disappointed of the housing crisis. They're disappointed that government is not acting fast enough, and all of those kind of things,” he said. “But let's not forget, as I've said earlier, the same anger they're, you know, expressing [is] also in Germany. The same anger they're expressing in Austria and Italy and all over the world. So, I mean, they don't have tea parties per se, but they have also a lot of frustrated and angry people and disappointed people, and so on.” Schwarzenegger also predicted that the tea party movement will end when the economy recovers. “In the end, when the economy comes back, I think that the tea party will disappear again,” he said. “It will, you know, twinkle and disappear, and that will be it.” |
