Is Arnold "conservative?" As inspired by the title of one his movies,
True Lies, that answer is certainly wrong - he is a LIBERAL in GOP drag. David Bass has it right about California's Liberalinator Governor... with him at the helm, true conservatives will never advance their principles here. Its time we understood where the liberal Austrian stands. He is when all is said and done - not one of us. Let's not forget it in November.

Now you've gone and done it. Here come the lists...
"Did you think a Democrat would have done this?"
When you haven't anything to offer, you start talkin down the other side.
Tell me what Arnold will do, not what others will or won't. Schwarzenegger had time to prove what he could do. No thanks.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been described by himself and others as moderate to liberal.
(I get extra points for actually using his last name in my post)

OK. So its better to have a liberal Dem as governor who will oppose Bush and conservatives 100% of the time as opposed to a moderate Republican who will oppose conservatives 50% of the time. This kind of thinking just kills me. This is one of the reasons we are likely going to loose a Senate seat in Rhode Island.
We have absolutely zero chance of ever getting a true conservative elected there. A real conservative could not get elected in Rhode Island if he was the only one on the ballot. Lincoln Chafee is not my ideal Senator. And at times I think he's a an idiot. But he is OUR idiot. When the Senate caucuses to see which part has the majority he votes Republican. Yes he votes against Bush 2/3 of the time. But he votes with us at least sometimes. Any Dem that gets that seat is not going to vote for a Republican majority and can be a sure bet to vote against us at every opportunity across the board. Leave Arnold alone. I would prefer someone else as Governor, but the political reality in California is that he is the only electable Republican right now. I live here. I am not talking about what I would like to see. I am talking about cold political reality.

Arnolds party is Arnold. Arnolds politics are defined by what it takes to win. Just like his career. He learned from mistakes and did what he had to do to win. Be it in body building, box office or ballot box.
He reflects the dysfunctional California electorate well.
That being said.
I will take an Arnold over a nut like Angelides anyday.
I have a chance with Arnold on some things. I have no chance at all with democrats.

California Conservatives! You have a choice in the November Election! Vote for conservative, down-the-ballot Republicans. For Governor, don't support Arnold and his wacky liberal policies.
Vote for Ed Noonan, the American Independent Party Candidate for Governor. He is 100% Conservative and proud of it. For more information, visit www.ednoonan4gov.org

Gosh, I'm so glad we have a Kennedy in the Sacramento Capitol Building. That way the Dems only get 80% of what they want, and 110% of the morally corrupt stuff.

It doesn't matter.
Ahnold is the lesser of 2 evils. And he hopefully will bring Tom along to provide fiscal acument and to keep Villareconquista out later.

Perhaps mystified by Schwarzenegger's apparent reticence to sign this bill into law, state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, herself a lesbian and the primary sponsor of the bill, expressed disappointment in a press release, chiding the governor for responding "to a small, shrill group of right-wing extremists rather than a fair-minded majority of Californians who support this reasonable measure." If the majority of Californians support Sen. Sheila Kuehl, herself a lesbian, then the state is in worse condition than I thought. I don't have a problem with a person's sexual orientation but why must it be foisted on everyone else?
