I wonder what some of these Arnold-haters would have said if Arnold had not been courageous enough to keep his party affiliation: what if he, like Ueberroth, had run as an Independent to avoid this expected flack and pick up more moderate and independent support? Then, when Republicans (still) flocked to him, would he and they still be RINO's?

Hello AlwaysConservative:

After you were so nice, I come back at you...

I wonder what some of these Arnold-haters...

I do not believe that many people here "hate" Arnold, we just do not politically align with his views. He MAY be fiscally conservative (though the jury is still out) but to say he is liberal on social matters is an understatement. (i.e. Pro-Choice, Pro-Gay, Anti-Gun, etc. etc.)

Then when he "flips" (though it could be handling...) it does not reassure us that he is not a Democrat in Republican clothing (aka RINO).

But no, I don't hate him, if Tom can't win, I hope Arnold wins, he is the lesser of two evils...
