Is Schwarzenegger a Closet Democrat? (NO)

The article doesn't get around to mention Arnold's accomplishments, such as NOT raising taxes, reforming workman's comp, vetoing drivers licenses for illegals, vetoing homosexual marriage and vetoeing about a third of the bills passed by the leftist Dem Legislature.

There ARE major differences between Arnold and Angelides, don't buy the Dem propaganda that they are both the same, therefore help Angelides win.

Is Schwarzenegger a closet Republican? I often can't tell.

[Carry_Okie]

Agreed, he is not a closet Democrat.

He's come out of the closet and into the open now.

[RKV]

What do you call a big government, tax and spend, gun controlling politician? It may not be a DemocRAT, but I doubt its a Republican. Ronald Reagan wept.

[BW2221]

Schwarzenegger may not be a closet Democrat, but he's certainly a RINO. Of the three major speakers at the (Rudy, Arnold and Zell Miller), Miller was the only one I would consider a true Republican (even if he is the closet variety).

Hey, he smokes cigars.

In California, wouldn't that put him solidly in the conservative camp?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

LOL!! You have just increased the number of conservative politicians in Ireland!

[Madame Dufarge]

I do what I can....;-)

No. Cigars are cool in CA. I routinely stop at a cigar and wine bar as I walk through the Gaslamp on my way back to my office after a Pads game.

That depends upon how that cigar has been "marinated."

The Terminator might have to change his Monica.

This article is a howler. I don't know how the MSM comes up with this kind of stuff. Too funny!

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

[Carry_Okie]

I don't know how the MSM comes up with this kind of stuff.

I don't know why this forum continues to tolerate it.

[proudofthesouth]

Because he had the stupidity to marry and mate with a Kennedy IMO he's no good.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Is he a social conservative? No.

Is he a Republican? Yes.

[Bommer]

Schwarzenegger may not be a closet Democrat, but he's certainly a RINO

Ummm... a RINO is the defintition of a Closet Democrap! Republican IN NAME ONLY! Arnold is most definately a Democrap. Look at his cabnet appointments, his stance on the enviorment and stem cell research.

[Madame Dufarge]

I stand corrected ;-)

[Madame Dufarge]

Mental image, crime against humanity - it all melds......

[TeleStraightShooter]

Lol

Arnold is running his admin like he ran his career,

He wanted approval from body building judges, he did what he had to do to give them what they wanted, he wanted approval from box office, he made what the movie goers wanted, he wants approval from ballot box, he does what he he thinks they want. California may have thrown out Gray Davis, but it is still dominated by the politics of San Francisco and L.A.

Is Arnold a democrat? No. Is he a republican. No.

He is a politiican playing the game of re-election.

I can only hope once the election is over, and I am pretty sure he will win, because that is clearly what he cares most about, that he will move to the right a little.
