But according to some of the more strident mcclintock supporters Arnold's a socialist.

How can this be?

Only an idiot would call Arnold a "socialist," he's a tight-fisted fiscal conservative. Their argument against him is that he's socially permissive.

Read your tag line. He holds no standards for moral behavior. How can he be expected to adhere to standards in other matters??

Ever heard the question about a guy, "If he has done such&such to his wife, what would he do to us?" If the man admits he doen't care about sexual morality, disavows portions of the Constitution, admits to cultural conflicts ( it is after all a very complex place he seeks to govern ), & well, there are folks with NONE of these problems. His very words are conflicted, clumsy & convey no clear intent. Why did he not present intelligent PLANS??

The Man aint got no PLAN. Brother Dyson has the story-his post #65 on

Here's the real choice: a candidate who agrees with us on many issues, but has a liberal streak -- or a democrat who agrees with us on nothing and will work against us on national campaigns. You pick.

WHAT "MANY POINTS"!? The man doesn't even have a platform!

All we're getting is the idealized Schwarzenegger. The man himself has put forth no plan or platform; only platitudes and soundbites.

Sorry, but that crap just doesn't cut it in the realy world.

Sorry, but someone who supports massive government spending on social programs, and the creation of even more such programs, is a socialist, because the funding of such programs must come from the salaries of working people, of whatever income; and the operation and maintenance of these programs must be by a bureaucracy of government employees (i.e., bigger government), which means that they can create legislation to enlarge their functions and power (so as to more "equitably" redistribute society's wealth, which is what social programs are all about). Arnold is for all that. Ergo, he is a socialist. A socialist can be against illegal aliens. Hell, Hitler was a socialist, and he was against a whole variety of people. But he was still a socialist.
