I'm feeling you on Matt Gonzalez. 👆 However, I don't know Cruz at all.
Cruz Bustamonte was Gray Davis' Lieutenant governor who was always disagreeing with him. After Davis was chased out of office, Cruz started a massive investigation into PG&E, Edison Electric, and Enron and was about to file a massive multibillion dollar lawsuit for extorting the state of California into bankruptcy via the fabricated energy crisis when in the middle of the recall election, the power companies wined and dined a Hollywood actor who promised to TERMINATE the evil energy companies and that the billions in surplus money would BE BACK. But instead, as agreed in secret with the companies who decided to fund his campaign and run attack ads against cruz comparing him to davis, quietly dropped the suit and all investigations during his first week in office and blamed the sudden near bankruptcy of the state on those damned teachers, doctors, and nurses with their damn unions who just don't want to work for minimum wage and no benefits in the state with the highest cost of living in the country.

From how you posted on him, he sounds like a good guy.
I like Arnold. Of course, I disagree with some things he's done....but I generally like what he's done.
disagree? Like with letting the power companies off the hook, union busting, destroying benefits for public employees, not mention end of days, kindergarten cop, red sonja, conan the destroyer, last action hero, terminator 3, and most of twins?
an actual interview-
Reporter: Hey Arnold! What's the most important part of being governor?
Arnold: Crush your enemies, see them drawn before you, hear the lamentations of their women!

Dude....that comment is one of the reasons I like him. That's something I'd say.
