He's not that dumb. He's picking his battles and winning important victories.

Name them!

Billions in unconstitutional borrowing? Record growth in Government? Minimum wage hikes? Global warming regulation? Prescription drug programs? Taxation for illegal alien healthcare? $3 billion in rate increases to subsidize solar roofs? A 25 million acre land-grab? More gun regulation? $3 billion for embryonic stem-cell research? Liberal judicial appointments? A couple vetos of GLBT legislation while signing a dozen pro-homosexual bills? Please do tell me about all those "important victories" we've won.

While you're at it, why don't you tell me which part of the Republican platform you actually do support As all of the things I listed above, as promoted by the Conciliator are clearly contrary to the very principles of conservatism and the Republican platform. "Shared Responsiblity" for healthcare isn't any better of an idea today than when Karl Marx uttered the same mantra.

Well, he vetoed the Democrat's universal health care for illegal aliens plan...

...shortly before he unveiled his own universal health care for illegal aliens plan.

Arnold wasn't the one who screwed up your state. Neither was Pete Wilson. Your state legislature has been doing that for years. With Arnold, at least you are getting the issues that would be rammed down your throats by the Gavin Newsomes of your state in a more tempered, toned down fashion.

One last thing, if you want Barbara Boxer re-elected in 2010, keep bringing Arnold down. Regardless of what you think about how he has to do things now, he'd be a much better US Senator than that shrill embarassment Californians keep sending to Washington.
