Arnold is a liberal not a conservative.

It is not a choice but between one conservative
who can win but has problems and an ideal
conservative who cannot.

Its between a socialist a liberal and a conservative.

Arnold has a degree in ecomics from the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Even though he didn't study at the University of Chicago under the world's greatest economist Fredrick Hayek like Milton did, he still is a Classical Liberal. In other words, he is a fiscal conservative.

Here's what Arnold said on Milton Feidman's "Free to Choose" series. Milton and Rose Friedman's Free to Choose TV series has changed my life.

I came from Austria, a socialistic country where government controlled the economy. A place where you can hear 18-year-old kids talking about their pensions. I wanted more. I wanted to be the best. I had to come to America. I had no money in my pocket, but here I had the freedom to get it. I have been able to parlay my muscles into a big movie career.

Okay, so there I was, waiting for Maria to get ready for a game of mixed doubles tennis. I started flipping the television dial. I caught a glimpse of Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman whom I recognized from my studies in economics. I didn't know I was watching Free to Choose. It knocked me out. Dr. Friedman validated everything I ever thought about the way the economy works.

I became a big pain in the neck about Free to Choose. All my friends and acquaintances got tapes as well as books for Christmas after Christmas. If I had come up with Free to Choose, maybe I wouldn't have got into body building. --Arnold Schwarzenegger
