"I see it like this: Liberals love to talk about how "dumb" George W. Bush is, and they like to point to this as an example of how all Republicans are dumb."
Giving them a Governor Simon as well would only lend weight to their argument.

How is it...that you've come to the conclusion that Simon is "dumb"? What might be your evidence?
----------------------------------------------------
And I would like to point out now that the liberals took their cues that Bush is "dumb" from the right-wingers' attacks on him during the 2000 primary. Just like the right-wingers are setting the table for the Democrats against Arnold now.
------------------------------------------------------------
I totally disagree with both statements. The DemSocialistMarxistLeftistLiberals are the classic poster children for the "Do as I say, not as I do" crowd. In other words....don't make fun of someone's public speaking cadence, word usage, pronuciation..etc..etc....because that's not being sensitive.....of course, unless it's politically valuable. The Dems didn't need any "help" from the "right" ,as they naturally are the bigger rascists, sexists, hippocrits..that ever walked. You need to take up a bunch of slack in that rope...it won't twirl.
What "right-wingers" do you speak of? That hand-wringer...Huffington? She's only a "right-winger" in the minds of the unthinking....and those sheeple that feed at the trough of ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC...etc..etc...
-------------------------------------------------------
It seems to me, with the shrill right-wing doing all the leg work, the shrill left-wing get to just sit back and watch.
In other words: with friends like these, who needs enemies?"
--------------------------------------------------------
IF...you are referring to Huffington and her merry band of camera hogs.....I agree she's shrill...But hardly right-wing...that's only pinned on her for "effect". You being a astute observer....probably know that. I suppose you are speaking of others................................
My guess is Arnold is "apparently" trying to blend into some sort of 3rd way type of politician.....And he's stepping on toes...on both sides of the aisle.
I will say again...if this is the future of Republican politics..I predict we will have full-on Socialism within the next 20-30 years.....if not sooner. I hope that I'm wrong.........
Fwiw-
