That's what you apparently don't understand...

Some of Arnold's support are from center voters that will NOT vote for a pro-life and anti-gay candidate.

Change the hearts of the VOTERS and then you can offer them more conservative candidates... you can't pull a coup with a candidate running on values that only match about 20% of the electorate.

I understand it exactly. People who cherish life are not likely to vote for Arnold either. Is the GOP now the abortion party because I must have missed the memo?

Number one, McClintock is not "anti-gay". Denying people who engage in perverse, self-destructive behavior special rights because of their behavior is not anti-gay.

Number two, no quarter should be given by any Republican to someone who will vote against someone who is "pro-life". Anyone who is hell-bent upon murdering children or enabling that murder is not to be courted for their vote. We should not negotiate with terrorists or their like.
