"Republicans must begin to change our outlook," he said. "We cannot just fight, we must build. We cannot just follow, we must lead."

Im mulling this one. I think he is urging folks to just accept gay rights and the green movement as legitimate.

This party needs to decide which path it seeks to go down and now.

Better to ahve it out now than 2008 or 2010. By thta time it may be too late to do much at all to slow this social and fiscal rush to the left.

Ironic, this coming from a gUb with an R by his name, the same week that South Dakota is going the opposite direction on abortion.

Ahhh, never a dull moment in the Granola State -- land of fruits and nuts.

I'm glad I just get to watch and don't live there ... Pass the popcorn. :)

Schwarzenegger is doing the best he can. We elected him to help fix the problem. He came to us will proposals to fix it, and the voters turned him down.

He is trying to make the BEST of a BAD situation.

The bad situation is of his own making. Instead of fixing the problems, spending and borrowing, he exacerbated them with even more spending and more borrowing.

Now he apparently is urging the CAGOP to abandon conservatism: "Republicans must begin to change our outlook".

A pox on Schwarzenegger, Wilson and the New Majority.

Throw the bums out!

He is an embarassment to the conservative agenda, imo.

This is how he fights? We know how he spends, look at his budgets and borrowing history.

Ilk threads ain't that divisive anymore. Too many people have figured out that the herd are really fifth columnists, eventhough some of the dimmer ones don't realize it.

Most of it already does, this is a cleanup op.

If you weren't to blind to see what is happening, there ain't much left to dicker over.

Hope you're all happy when he signs bills to let illegals drive, gays to marry, you had your chance.

Oh well. It's gonna rain this weekend, hope the levees hold.

Some folks just don't care about the gays and greens and how much they are now calling the shots in this state, do they? That says a lot about the ca gop and where it is headed.

Just Win, Baby! Don't sweat the details!

Conservatives won't rest until liberals are run out of California's executive. Conservatives care not if those liberals are Republican or Democrat. Whether Schwarzenegger or Angelides. Whether foreign or domestic.

Throw the bums out!

He has shifted toward moderate stances on his proposed budget spending, costly public works bonds, minimum wage-hike support, judicial appointments and aides in an attempt to recapture some of the Democrats and independents he has lost — particularly in the Bay Area.

Yes, the ilk can't have the will of the people in action. Sounds more, ah, totalitarian state'ist than conservative to me. Sorta national, socialist, kinda deal ...

Regardless, the duty of the herd remains; Throw republican bums out!

While your post is intended to widen the schism, causing more division, the essence is true. If we want to capture and hold the middleground we must have those allies whom you hold in such phony contempt.

If they're corrupt and/or liberal; you bet!

Whether Duke Cunningham or the Wilsonegger gang.

In fact, the post is designed to unify. This is an independent, conservative forum. Not a Republican forum.

Moderates and loyal Republican partisans might be better served on a partisan, Republican forum. Valid criticism of a liberal Republican administration might be considered to cause more division on that sort of forum. Does the RNC have a board?

Does the DNC? Oh yeah, if my suspicion is correct, that is where the ilk get their marching orders. The brighter ones, that is. The dimmer ones just follow along.
