The problem is not CAREER politicians. To be effective in politics today you have to devote yourself to it entirely. The problem is LIBERAL politicians, of which Schwarzenegger is now one.

The messianic complex being demonstrated by moderate to liberal Republicans in this instance would be amusing if it wasn't so serious a blow to Republican principles and the prospects for restoring our republic.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is not the man on a white horse that is riding in to solve the problems created by years of socialist policy in California. He's just another Democrat wearing an R.

President Bush did not devote his entire life to politics, and he is successful. Ronald Reagan did not devote his entire life to politics, and he was very successful.
When did abortion and gun control become the main points of the Republican party? I always thought that the Republican party stood for lower taxes and a creating a healthy environment for businesses.
