Schwarzenegger sees economic boost in gay marriage ruling
Sacramento Bee ^ | May 20, 2008 | Kevin Yamamura

In the wake of the state Supreme Court's recent legalization of gay marriage, the Republican governor said Tuesday in San Francisco he wants gay couples to flock to California for wedded bliss.

"You know, I'm wishing everyone good luck with their marriages and I hope that California's economy is booming because everyone is going to come here and get married," said Schwarzenegger, prompting laughs and applause.

The governor appeared at an Environmental Defense Fund event ...

The governor reiterated that he opposes an initiative backed by conservatives to ban gay marriage in the state constitution.

He offered some other doozies in this report:
 
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/05/20/can-schwarzenegger-be-the-gops-cameron.html

Arnold Schwarzenegger has played some great characters. John Matrix in Commando. Dutch in Predator. Conan in Conan the Barbarian. The Terminator in Terminator. But can he play the role of David Cameron, the green-tinged British Tory leader, in today's Republican Party, particularly on economic policy? He's sure trying to:

The Republican idea is a great idea, but we can't go and get stuck with just the right wing. Let's let the party come all the way to the center.... Let's invade and let's cross over that [political] center. The issues that they're talking about? Let them be our issues, and let the party be known for that.

A Schwarzeneggerian-style president would, one could imagine, increase spending on education, ramp up aid to Africa, welcome illegal immigrants, and create a new healthcare entitlement. But President Bush has already done all that stuff. It was called compassionate conservatism.

The only issue where Bush has deviated from what Schwarzenegger is pushing is on the issue of climate change. And John McCain aims to rectify that with his cap-and-trade plan that's little different than what Democrats are calling for.

I guess Arnold never heard of Sodom and Gomorrah. He is Exhibit A of why the wise Founding Fathers didn’t want Europeans to be eligible for the US presidency.

Then everyone else will move out.

See post #6. Welcome to "rebranding" of the GOP, McSchwarzenegger style!
