[Kevin Curry]

I have yet to see a single substantive conservative position taken by Arnold's camp. Apart from mouthing the names of a few icons of the right (e.g., Adam Smith and Ronald Reagan) he has been uniformly liberal.

It has been well noted on other threads that he will have a very difficult time getting any conservative legislation (maybe he'll come up with something) passed under the best of circumstances. You know what he won't have any trouble getting passed? That's right: his liberal agenda including the gun control he wants to foist on everyone.

The other problem is that by going solely for "electability" it tells other Pubbie wanna-be candidates that they can check their principles at the door, as the Pubbie party doesn't care about such things anymore... all they care about is that (R) after the name... so candidates can pander to the left all they want and not ever worry about their "base."

Furthermore, in electing RINOld, they will remove any resistance the Pubbies in the legislature have to the passage of more of the Left's agenda. Perhaps this is the RINOld-bots intent.
