That has got to be the funniest thing I heard today.
He's always endorsed and campainged for the GOP.
The Austrian calling himself a Republican is political cross dressing.
"We have to look at all the candidates and just listen to them very carefully,"
...that's what a lot of "independants" did for their 2006 vote. Just wait 'til they see what they've done. With the exception of Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman, ALL dems are liars. Swarzeneggar is an idiot.

And Republicans are STILL clueless.
I wish he would just come out for McCain and get it over with and quit the pretenses, too much of his reign is being played out like a melodrama as is, imo.
That is just flat out wrong!
He refused to endorse the candidate for US Senate, Dick Mountjoy. He refused to voice support for Richard Pombo. He refused to campaign for McClintock, Poochigian, even the moderate McPherson, instead sliming McClintock while on the campaign trail. He went so far as to have Republican campaign signs removed from the wall so the media wouldn't take pictures of him with a possible "McClintock for Lt. Gov." sign in the background. Support him if you like, but please be honest about his actions.
ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS ARTICLE.
McCain or Guiliani. Bloomberg? ROTFLOL
Talk is cheap.
He may have been a fine candidate but what kind of a loving parent would name their child that?
Congress and the Senate aren't the "national level" (Pombo and Mountjoy)?
Of course they're not the same. Even you KNOW that.
Anybody catch this recent sound bite from Warren Beatty:
"I don't know why they can't just do what I ask them to do. I asked Arnold (Schwarzenegger) to become a Democrat and he did what I said," Beatty said, to laughter and applause.
LMAO! Yeah, they are a pair, aren't they?
You forgot poor Tan Nyugen, who Arnold tried to force out of the race so Loretta Sanchez would run unopposed. Ironically, the "unelectable" Nyugen got close to 40% with GOP leaders stabbing him in the back, meaning he polled far better than the last couple of party-endorsed candidates who ran against Sanchez, like Chavez (34% of the vote), and so forth.
It's interesting that Arnold's supporters equated any non-endorsement for Arnold as "working for the Democrat", but they have no problem with Arnold failing to endorse a fellow Republican. The double-standard was exposed her when not one Arnold supporter complained that Arnold was "working for Sanchez" by failing to endorse Nyuguen and their "straight-ticket Republican" agenda.
It could be worse, RINO Arlen Specter won the primary with conservative freepers arguing he would somehow "deliver Pennsylvania to Bush", then in the general election, he avoided using the word "Republican" on any campaign literature or commercials -- and even his campaign staff put up "SPECTER & KERRY FOR WORKING FAMILIES" signs. Specter of course, denies that he gave them permission to do that.
Personally I think Arnold will give token support to the Republican presidential candidate if it's one of the three "moderate" frontrunner's (McCain/Giuliani/Romney), though I wouldn't be surprised to see him sit it out if the party nominates one of those eeeeeeeeeevil "unelectable" conservatives like California's own Duncan Hunter. Arnold doesn't want to be seen even mentioning the candidacy of a "right-wing crazy".
He might try what the RINOs do here in Illinois. Get on the stage with a conservative Republican, hug them, take their money, promise to support them "100%", then embrace for their liberal Democrat opponent the following week. It worked for Judy Baar Topinka... until she ran for Governor and sought support from all the Republicans she double-crossed.
They're coming around:
McClintock, the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor last year, says Schwarzenegger has left him "very disillusioned and disappointed. The reason I supported him — and a lot of other voters did — was because of his ironclad, clear promise that he would not raise taxes. "It's the last time I'll ever trust anything he says."
