Reagan may have had the right ideas about abortion, but in eight years as governor, and eight as president, he was able to accomplish exactly nothing to reduce it. Ditto with the other issues you brought up.

McClintock will be equally unsuccessful.

Arnold is against PBA and for parental notification. Those are significant first steps.

Arnold is for Prop 187 and against illegals driver liscenses.

He is for Prop 13, against new taxes, for Workers Comp reform, and pro business.

That why the Rats are fighting like hell to keep him out of office.

>>>Reagan may have had the right ideas about abortion, but in eight years as governor, and eight as president, he was able to accomplish exactly nothing to reduce it.

Again, this isn't about Ronald Reagan. Its about Arnold Schwarzenegger. But just for the record. Reagan gave the American people the 1981 Recovery Tax Act and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. They led to a two tier tax rate system of 15% and 28%. Reagan lowered the top rate from 70%, to 50% to 28%. This stimulated spending, investment and savings. The Reagan economic recovery plan for America, led to lower unemployment, infaltiona nd interest rates, which led to 17 years of real economic growth that lasted until the year 2000.

Reagan also agreed with the pro-life forces, which pushed every year for a right to life amendment to the US Constitution. In Reagan's day pro-choice was more accepted then the pro-life position. Today its gone in the opposite direction.

>>>Arnold is against PBA and for parental notification. Those are significant first steps.

Those are good positions to hold, but the truth is even more relevent. Roughly 95% of all abortions take place out of a personal choice and desire to end a pregnancy. Not for rape, incest or the life/health of the mother. That would be called abortion on demand and is something that Arnold fully supports.

"I'm for choice," [Schwarzenegger] said about abortion on Fox TV's "The O'Reilly Factor" in May 2001. "The women should have the choice. The women should decide what they want to do with their bodies. I'm all for that."

I explained earlier in this thread, that Arnold's political positions are not in line with the conservative agenda of the GOP party platform. Like I said, "Arnold hired a BIG-TIME liberal Democrat, to test the waters for increasing California property taxes and promptly got his head handed to him on a silver platter". And you know it too. Don't act naive and don't play dumb with me.
