re: More: "He has told the press he is 'very liberal' about social programs, supports abortion and homosexual adoption, and advocates 'sensible gun controls.' )))

I'm not willing to reject Arnold yet. This position statement could also be pol-speak in a leftist state. Exactly what does it matter if he happens to be pro-abortion--particularly when we don't know just how pro he is. Abortion is a national issue, and a governor does not have much to say about it, particularly with a DNC state congress. Also, homosexual adoption is already a reality, and we might ask, "Which couple, and which kid?" The sensible gun control might also be a salve for liberals--I have no idea what that means.

If he had come out pro-life, anti-homosexual adoption, and pro-gun...would that have done us much good, or just made it more likely that he'd lose? A CA guv's real issues are in dealing with illegal immigration, getting the spending under control...not the hot-button social issues over which he'd have little control, anyway.

I'd like to know *Rush's* stand on illegal immigration, BTW. Anyone know? Los Angeles County has spent 350M dollars on illegal immigrants' emergency health care in one year. This staggers the mind...

I don't recall hearing any essays from Rush on the flood of illegals--you don't, generally, from the richer end of the GOP. They like the cheap servants.

I think Rush is playing Devil's Advocate about Arnold.
He's exposing Arnold's 'exposers' first and making fun of them.

I think Rush is a bit of a wiley coyote. ;o)
