First of all the article is full of lies about Schwarzenegger. He is a fiscal conservative and a social moderate. No more liberal than Giuliani, for instance.

And why do you think all the prominent CONSERVATIVE Republicans and Republican organizations endorse Arnold and support him?


====

From Arnold's speech at the Republican Convention:

"What I saw in Austria made me anti-communist. What I saw in California made me a free-enterprise, fiscally conservative Republican. Republican principles are what built California into the Golden State.

I came to America 35 years ago as an immigrant. By working playing by the rules, my immigrant dreams came true. I want other peoplhard and e to have the same chances, the same opportunities. I am a Republican because of what Ronald Reagan said – government bureaucrats can never substitute for millions of individuals working night and day to make their dreams come true.

That's what being a Republican means.

Let me tell you what being a conservative means to me.

I'm a conservative because I believe communism is evil and free enterprise is good.

I'm a conservative because Milton Friedman is right and Karl Marx was wrong.

I'm a conservative because I believe the government serves the people; the people don't serve the government.

I'm a conservative because I believe in balanced budgets, not budget deficits.

I'm a conservative because I believe the money that people earn is their money – not the government’s money.

And when you look at this driver's license outrage, I'm a conservative because I believe in the rule of law not in political pandering.

The driver's license issue is not about race; it's about law.

It's about a fair playing field. It's about living by the rules.

That's why people come to this country – because our laws mean something.

As governor, I promise you – our laws will mean something.

That's not saying a heck of a lot.

Excellent post. Thanks.

Those who claim Arnold isn't in any way conservative are clearly liars, or have chosen not to hear. Why do we bother debating them? They call us "RINOs," but most of them are clearly "MORONs".

He's a conservative because he supports gun control (except for his security detail...)

He's a conservative because he supports abortion rights (whoops!)

He's a conservative because he opposes Prop. 54 (must be an oversight)

He's a conservative because he wants to bring people together (except those "right wing crazies" who make up the bulk of the Party he says he belongs to)

He's a conservative because he wants to cut spending (unless the money is for the children, ANY children, no matter where they were born!)

Just not what you expect.
