Nofziger: Why Arnold Schwarzenegger is no Ronald Reagan

That's an infinite topic...

[sinkspur]

Reagan was not a Reagan Republican when he was elected governor of California.

He raised taxes and signed a bill legalizing abortion.

And Reagan would not have hired Lyn Nofziger when he was running for governor. He would likley have cost him the election.

Sadly, there will never be another dashingly charming and savvy a politican as Reagan. One thing I can say that Arnold and Ronald have in common is resolute determination against all odds and independence from the labels that people wish to assign them.

When Reagan ran against Gerald Ford for the '76 PUB nomination, I had not yet registered to vote. Listened to Reagan, and liked what he had to say, made a promise that if he got the Pub nomination, I would then register to vote. He didn't get it and I didn't vote. However, when he got the 1980 nomination, I registered to vote for the first time in my life. Since Reagan there has been only one other person that has motivated me and made me feel proud to be an American. That person is George W. Bush.

Where he agrees with Reagan is not clear.

Arnold is a self professed social liberal. Arnold says he's a fiscal conservative, yet so far, Arnold has presented no evidence that he even knows what a political conservative is. Arnold is to the left of well known RINO's like Susan Collin's, Lincoln Chaffey and Arlen Spector.

Arnold says he wants to get California out of the red, so its social welfare programs can run more effectively and efficently for the people. That sounds like high minded liberalism, not conservatism. Arnold also wants to bring businesses back to California, so tax revenues will increase and social welfare programs can be properly funded. More high minded liberalism.
