Who gives you the right to say who is a Republican and who is not? You can say Arnold is not a conservative but you cannot say he is not a Republican. We have Republicans from all spectrums of the political ideology. Let me remind you and others that Republican does not equal conservative. If it did, we would not get any candidates elected in some areas.

Some of you have to lose that idea that all Republicans have to be conservative or you all are going continue to cost Republicans more elections.

Let's see the basic ideals of the Republican party give me the right.

Republicans ARE conservative whether you like it or not. It points to the stances we take on positions.

Pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-illegal, pro-tax are not Republican positions no matter what you say.

If you can't see that then maybe you should think about your political affiliations.

Some of you have to lose that idea that all Republicans have to be conservative or you all are going continue to cost Republicans more elections.

If my goal is the advance of conservatism, why would I "lost that idea"? I'm not blindly rooting for a sports franchise here - I'm taking a principled stand.

>>>You can say Arnold is not a conservative but you cannot say he is not a Republican.

Oh yes I can and I will! And here are the facts to dispute your contention that Arnold is anything but a liberal (RINO) Republican.

Many people call Arnold Schwarzenegger a moderate Republican. He calls himself, a social liberal and fiscal conservative. There's nothing conservative or moderate about Arnold.

*Arnold doesn't back tax cuts and spending cuts, which is part of the GOP agenda. In fact, he can't even produce his economic recovery plan for California, until after the recall election. The obvious reason for this is simple. Arnold has no economic recovery plan for California.

*Arnold has never indicated support for the basic tenets of fiscal conservatism, tax cuts and spending cuts. Nor has Arnold mentioned anything about supporting supply side economics, or "Reaganomics".

*Arnold doesn't back the pro-life position of the GOP platform. Arnold is pro-abortion and that is in direct opposition to the GOP platform.

*Arnold told Bill O'Reilly the other night, that he doesn't understand the issue of border security and how it relates to militarizing the borders, in order to stop illegal immigration and possible terrorists from entering the US.

*Arnold wants more gun control legislation for California.

*Arnold supports special rights for homosexuals.

*Arnold opposes Prop54.

*Arnold hired a BIG-TIME liberal Democrat, to test the the waters for increasing California property taxes and promptly got his head handed to him on a silver platter.

*Arnold says, he wants to bring businesses back to California to increase state tax revenues, thereby, getting California out of the red. He says this will improve the states social welfare programs and allow them to recieve the proper funding needed to run more efficiently. Yeah. Give the people what they want. Social welfare entitlements. That's not a conservative talking. That's high minded liberal talk.

*Arnold doesn't support oil drilling off the California coast, nor does he support drilling in ANWR either.

*Arnold won't even debate his opponents. He is running from the debates and instead goes on with Bill O'Reilly for a softball interview.

These are Arnold's positions on the issues. They're not in agreement with the conservative Republican agenda and the GOP platform. Arnold is a liberal (RINO) Republican and seemingly, an empty suit to boot.
