Why?
Why are you fond of calling Schwarzenegger a RINO and why do you think the Republicans like Rohrabacher and Dreier, to name just two, are so enthusiastically supporting him?
In fact, I found an op-ed today by Rohrabacher's wife that she wrote the day after the re-election of Davis touting Schwarzenegger as the Republicans' best hope to retake the governorship of California. This means they were fans of his from way back--and not just for this particular recall election.
That gives me reason to think Schwarzenegger is much more conservative than some here give credit for. I am confident that time will bear out my observation.
That's a big thing to be confident of.
As for where I get my ideas - try listening to what he says. He's pro gun control, pro abortion, etc. The list goes on.
And he refuses to enumerate his stance on taxes. (as another side note...)
