If you feel that talking about anything, except President Reagan is disrespectful, what are you doing on this thread?

I don't think that discussing other things is in any way disrespectful of President Reagan.

There are still plenty of posts and threads honoring him, and his legacy. A truly great statesman.

Arnold found Reagan an inspiration and considered Reagan his hero.

Clearly I don't think talking about "anything but President Reagan" is disrespectful. If I did, I would've made such a comment on the other threads to that end. What I find disrespectful to Ronald Reagan is an unprovoked attempt to sow rancor against a fellow Republican which clearly violates Reagan's "11th Commandment" while his body is still being prepared for burial. It is unseemly to pick political scabs at this time.

See above.

His legacy a a truly great statesman manifested itself in the form of not picking at political scabs.

As did Tom McClintock, I'm sure.

With that, I've had my say.

The reason people are upset at what you are doing is because it is spitting on his beliefs and his work at the time of his death. Reagan tried to create unity among Republicans. Why take the opportunity of Schwarzenegger and McClintock coming together to create friction? If you think Governor Schwarzenegger has done something terrible by supporting Senator McClintock, by all reason write or call his office and vent your fury at him. If you can't support the governor anymore because of this, fine, but chill out for a while. McClintock is greatful for Schwarzenegger's support. And Schwarzenegger's team is greatful to senator McClintock, because they said without him the recall would have failed last October.
