The interview is now out there for all to read.

Arnold is handling the issue in the worst way possible.

Sorry, as a conservative I expect more from a candidate.

If we demand our nominees be at least honest and have some degree of integrity, are we any better than the Democrats?

If winning is everything, then we have become the political whores we decry.

[auntdot]

Sorry, should have said if we don't demand ..............

Arnold should be a man and address the issue, not hide from it.

"If winning is everything, then we have become the political whores we decry."

Aunt, this would make a GREAT FReeper Tagline. I love it. It says so much, and it CANNOT be countered in any rational, argumentative way by any RINO Freepers or Conservatives who are being temporarily misled in a bad way with Schwarzenegger.

Why don't you use this as a tagline?

Absolutely.

Furthermore, the willingness of Republicans to vote for someone like Arnold reveals a lack of faith in our own principles.

I have challenged people several times to describe the crisis that would ensue by retaining Davis or electing Bustamante. Nobody has attempted to describe how Republicans would suffer.

We are supposed to be the people who believe that a righteous life is its own reward. That liberal policies will have detrimental effects.

Now, because Arnold claims to be a Republican, we are to close our eyes to the detrimental effects of supporting abortion.

Now, because Arnold claims to be a Republican, we are to tolerate outlawing some rifles, despite the Second Amendment.

Now, because Arnold claims to be a Republican, we are to support socialist policies because they are "for the childrun".

The bankruptcy of the state of Kalifornia would not only be a small price to pay for upholding our principles, it would be the fitting reward for allowing continued "leadership" from the left.

I dream of the day when the majority of school teachers in Kalifornia regret that they ever supported liberals.

I hunger for the day when county employees realize that their own futures have been destroyed by power-grabbers at the state level.

I relish the idea that liberal enclaves like San Francisco find that their aging water supply system cannot function while ever increasing amounts of their budget are devoted to paying for sex-change operations and to providing income for the refuse of the nation.
