More food for thought from the Up-Chuck Wagon.

The following is from Arnold's speech at the Republican Convention (in any other election, these comments would be plenty for conservatives):
"What I saw in Austria made me anti-communist. What I saw in California made me a free-enterprise, fiscally conservative Republican. Republican principles are what built California into the Golden State.
I came to America 35 years ago as an immigrant. By working playing by the rules, my immigrant dreams came true. I want other people to have the same chances, the same opportunities. I am a Republican because of what Ronald Reagan said government bureaucrats can never substitute for millions of individuals working night and day to make their dreams come true.
That's what being a Republican means.
Let me tell you what being a conservative means to me.
I'm a conservative because I believe communism is evil and free enterprise is good.
I'm a conservative because Milton Friedman is right and Karl Marx was wrong.
I'm a conservative because I believe the government serves the people; the people don't serve the government.
I'm a conservative because I believe in balanced budgets, not budget deficits.
I'm a conservative because I believe the money that people earn is their money not the governments money.
And when you look at this driver's license outrage, I'm a conservative because I believe in the rule of law not in political pandering. The driver's license issue is not about race; it's about law. It's about a fair playing field. It's about living by the rules.
That's why people come to this country because our laws mean something.
As governor, I promise you our laws will mean something.

The up-chucker has too narrow a view of conservatism.

Yes. It is called a Bush presidency. As we've predicted, the anti-Arnold crowd is preparing to shift it's sights back onto President Bush.

I've just heard a pro-Tom Commercial from an outfit identifying itself as "Save California from the Serial Groper" or something like that. In it it states all the stuff you just posted, including Ahrnold's supposed support for late-term abortions and abortion on demand in general.
Now, the news program that this commercial was in the middle of quoted a Democratic demonstrator at his Orange County Rally that Ahrnold is against a "Woman's Right to choose."
Which is it?

That's what I meant. And since the only reasonably conservative alternative in the 2004 Presidential election will be President Bush, the incessant rock throwing at him by the "puritans" is worse than futile, it is destructive to those objectives conservatives generally support that can be achieved through the Bush Presidency -- winning the war on terror, reconstituting the judiciary with nominees who respect the law, bringing faith back into the mainstream of American life, promotion of prosperity rather than a greater tax burden, to mention a few. The Republican Party may never be as "conservative" as the Constitution Party, or the American Taxpayers Party, or whatever, but it is the MOST conservative of the two major parties, and if people adopt a "my-way-or-the-highway" attitude toward the GOP and leaders like Pres. Bush, they are part of the problem, not the solution, in this country.

Poor Chuck's snot is really running down the windowpane...the bugles will sound and the charges will be mounted for the Second Coming of the True Conservative Party to take back America, just in time for January in New Hampshire.
Keyes et al need a job, too :)

At some point, conservatives must awaken to the reality that they do not have a political party in Washington, D.C.That is correct and many of us already are painfully aware of it.
I may not vote Republican at all, anymore. I may just vote for independents who share my conservative philosophy. Government never gets smaller when Republicans are elected and conservatives are mocked by the party.

Anti-Arnold crowd for the most part morphs into Anti-Bush crowd come October 8th -- wonder if there are going to be more new screen names then?

If he feels free enterprise is good, then I am sure he will de-fund the California public school system, right? The public schools in California are GUARANTEED a percentage of the state budget, by constitutional amendment voted by the people of the state. No one could unilaterally defund the public school system.
Personally, I vote AGAINST every school bond measure that gets dumped in front of the voters, because I consider the public schools a colossal failure (we home-schooled our kids as a result), in the hope that the public school system will collapse for lack of funds, giving us the opportunity to start over again, but even I realize that your statement is ludicrious.

Which is it? It's whatever Arnold's opponents want it to be. Hillary calls Arnold a "right winger," and then the puritans on FreeRepublic call him a "left winger." The extremes on both ends of the spectrum have marginalized themselves, as it should be, and as a result, Arnold will win.
