Schwarzenegger is, first and foremost, an economic and fiscal conservative

He made it clear that he wants to get rid of the defecit in order to be able to afford MORE social programs. And do you recall the after-school program debacle he was behind a few years back? Arnie ain't no damn fiscal conservative.

why-bother syndrome.

One obviously can't vote for a known socialist, and one is wasting time voting for a socialist in conservative clothing that's just going to increase state spending and raise taxes and all that other rot. Yes, in this case, it would mean getting the gray out, but to what end? So we're stuck with something less heinous but still broken? Even if you argue for the latter somehow, what's the point, in the end.
