Why don't you just compare Arnold with Westly and Angelides?
Will you be able to look at yourself in the mirror if you help Angelides or Westly get elected?
I have. The only difference I see is that the two of them don't have the clout to sway Republican votes in the legislature. Neither of them would have been able to get a Republican Senator (even a liberal one) to sponsor a bill to raise the minimum wage.

If they do, it won't be my fault. It will be his own fault. I will, on the other hand, at least be glad that he is no longer pulling the strings in the state Republican Party. We can then get to work electing leaders who actually SUPPORT the key planks in our platform.
He definitely claimed he was a fiscal conservative. He's more conservative socially, then he is fiscally.
Oh, well. He's a statewide officeholder in Califnrnia, after all, so I guess you can't have everything. For all his faults, he's preferable to the opposition.
Schwarzenegger speech at RNC Convention, September 2003
"Let me tell you what being a conservative means to me. I'm a conservative because I believe communism is evil and free enterprise is good. I'm a conservative because Milton Friedman is right and Karl Marx is wrong. I'm a conservative because I believe government serves the people, the people don't serve the government. I'm a conservative because I believe in a balanced budget, not budget deficits. I'm a conservative because I believe money that people earn is their money and not the government's money. And when you look at the drivers' license outrage, I am a conservative because I believe in the rules of the law, not political pandering."
I think you need help.
Fair enough, like I said I never heard it, I didn't say he never said it.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
There you go again, falling back to personal insults.
Republicans and conservatives need to learn from history. Just look at Perot, look at the recent elections in Italy and Hungary, in both places conervatives lost because they were so focued on fighting each other, so the socialists united and won.
I am tired of people claiming to be conservatives promoting divisions among conservatives, which will result in the Dems winning.
Do you think there is some concerted conspiracy to gouge at the pumps FO, or is Arnold just throwing some bones to the masses?
Denying facts and reality are signs of more serious problems.
When one does not acknowledge that the emperor has no clothes, they need help.
It was intended as sincere advice--not an insult.
"Arnold just throwing some bones to the masses"

Bush said the same thing -- I think that is exactly what's going on. They have to say something, otherwise people start "demanding" that they do "something".
They can't just tell people to go buy stock in the oil companies -- after all "big oil" IS owned by the people.
"Denying facts and reality are signs of more serious problems. "

That statement seems to fit you and your "ilk" far better.
See Norm, I bring out the best in FO. :)
Don't do anything. That piece of land I own in Deadhorse, AK is getting more and more valuable every day.
This from a man whose car(s) of choice is the Hummer and commutes from Los Angeles to Sacramento on a private jet. Oh.... I get it--he is encouraging the peasants to be more efficient. Thanks Arnold.
Maybe he could jetpool with RFK Jr. and Arianna Huffington. ;-)

I am tired of people claiming to be moderate Republicans promoting divisions among conservatives, which have resulted in the dems getting much of their liberal agenda solidified in place and additional debts placed on us, all in the name of "neo-conservatism" and letting those who did the bulk of the damage off the hook and actually working with them to do even more towards assisting their end game.
You are hardly one to be able to claim to carry much weight when it comes to discussing facts or reality, imo.
You chose who you chose, now live with the realities of his efforts to "be his own man".
Need I recite the litany of his "acomplishments" and those who back him on his quest?
Actually, I don't need to look much further than his closest advisors and adult family members..
Have some of that (M)ilk with your cookies, why don'tcha..
