>>>Well, maybe you're just ignorant about Arnold.

I'm very familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger, his acting career and his charitable work. Several years back, Arnold was on Bill O'Reilly's show and said, he is a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I took him at his word. Through the years its become crystal clear Arnold is a social liberal. He supports abortion on demand, special rights for homosexuals and gun control.

While Arnold has said he is a fiscal conservative, so far, he hasn't come close to proving it.

The twin pillars of fiscal conservatism, are cutting taxes and cutting government spending. Arnold hasn't embraced either one. Arnold has made vague references, without giving specifics or details. And Arnold has said, he will not be giving out any specifics or details of his economic recovery plan for California, until after the recall election is over. I guess he means, if he should win.

So far, Arnold's an empty suit and any comparisons to Ronald Reagan is pure sophistry.

Please, stop just spewing out nonsense. Here's what Arnold has said about cutting taxes and spending, making your statement a big lie:

"'The people of California are under (the yoke of) tax. From the time they flush their toilet in the morning, they are taxed .... Even when they go to bed, they have the fear that they will be taxed while they sleep', he told reporters at a news conference that followed an economic summit he held with 20 top business and academic leaders, including former Secretary of State George Shultz and billionaire investor Warren Buffett." - Reuters

"SPENDING CUTS, YES; TAX HIKES, NO" 'I told Warren if he mentioned Proposition 13 one more time, he has to do 500 sit-ups,' the actor said, tossing Buffett a friendly but menacing stare. Buffett smiled and moved his hands in a fashion that said, 'Never again.'" - Reuters

"'We must have a constitutional spending cap and must immediately attack operating deficits head on. Does this mean we are going to make cuts, yes. Does this mean education is on table, no. Does this mean I am willing to raise taxes? No. Additional taxes are the last burden we need to put on the backs of the citizens and businesses of California.' - Reuters
