Calcowgirl made a career of bashing Arnold, not giving credit to him for anything, but never criticizing the leftist Democrats.

More lies from the Fair Opinion Account, I see. I did indeed praise the few good vetoes coming out of the Governor's office and criticize liberals everyday.

That doesn't sound like a conservative attitude.

Does this sound like a "conservative attitude" to you? Arnold did not move "to the center", he co-opted the democrat platform.

"Republicans to avoid becoming totally irrelevant in CA they have to move to the center", as Arnold did...
The faux-conservatives worked hard to bash Arnold to try to get real conservatives to stay home, so the Dems can get elected.

Conservatives urged voters to get to the polls to vote against the bonds, for Prop 90, and for the down-ticket candidates, as I and many others did. Conservatives were outraged by the lack of support for Conservative candidates demonstrated by our Governor (Pombo, Mountjoy, Poochigian) and by Schwarzenegger's public assault on the candidacy of Tom McClintock by telling the international press that "Tom is wrong...", and of course, Arnold's opposition for Prop 90.

The "faux-conservatives" are those who openly promote moving the Republican party leftward, voice no objection to record spending increases and the borrowing bonanza promoted by this Governor, think sustainable development is for the greater good, accept subsidizing businesses as a conservative principle, and call the unprecedented advancement of the homosexual agenda "mere crumbs," to cite just a few examples. "Faux-conservatives" are those unwilling to fight for the Republican platform, who won't expend the energy to educate the electorate and sell conservative ideals, who are instead willing to capitulate to misguided liberals in the interest of winning and try to suppress the voice of any of those who oppose them.

Everybody run back and re-read reply #50!!! Nobody has EVER said it better! EVER!!! (by the way... are the Schwartznegger swooning so-called "faux" conservatives called that French adjective because they're actually French, or what?)

I've alway been more than a little suspect of ANYONE that has to resort to French to add emphasis to their torts and retorts!!!

I have never seen anyone on FR be more concise and clear in advocating her positions than calcowgirl! It is indeed hilarious watching the silly celebrity worshippers buzzing around in circles trying to justify their positions as somehow "conservative!"

Well, "faux conservatives" or "pretend conservatives", it adds up to the same party-above-principle Big Tent CAGOP crowd of centrists/moderates who fall for the liberal line because they stand for nothing themselves. They have for far too long cluttered up this conservative site.
