Thanks. Its an important distinction in understanding both Reagan and the modern conservative movement. Too bad you didn't show more of a penchant yourself for one or the other, instead of indicating a sell-out vote for the lesser of two (liberal) evils. You say you believe in a "mixture of classic liberalism and conservatism", but Arnold is neither a classic liberal or someone who holds to conservative viewpoints. Btw, your grossly exaggerated analogy is actually quite silly.
Have a nice Fourth of July.
Reagan Man-- it was SUPPOSED to be grossly exaggerated in order to make a point, and to be silly to (hopefully) entertain you.
The point is that supporting and voting for the Republican over the Democrat is almost always the right thing to do, Lowell Weicker being one of the few exceptions.
The point isn't whether Arnold is classic liberal or conservative. Maybe he was the former once, when he plugged Milton Friedman's "Free to choose" series, but he's plainly neither now. The point is that he's closer to being a conservative classic liberal than Angelides-- not close enough for your tastes, not close enough for mine, but closer than Angelides--- and in an election where those are the only two options, Arnold plainly is the least bad option, unless Angelides has virtues I haven't heard of.
I hope you have a great Fourth too:)
Nice style, Reagan Embarrassment, he acknowledges you've a point then you slap him with it. Nice. Nice division, that is.
