The Republican Party decided some time ago to move away from its conservative roots and choose people to the left of Texas democrats to run under its banner.
This is dangerous. It is splitting our party at a time that we need to unite for next year's election. No party wins an election by disrespecting its base. And I feel disrespected.
The choise of Arnold - and lets not play games, its quite apparent that he is the party boy - has been an insult to all of us conservatives who have been in the trenches for the party all along. I saw no moderates on the streets during the Florida Court dispute three years ago. As a matter of fact, I never heard the party say thank you; nor am I holding my breath.
The GOP attitude toward conservatives is: where else are they going to go? And now the final insult: conservatives are about to be blamed if Arnold their new found golden boy looses the election. All one has to do is listen to the party mouthpiece Shawn "I used to have principles" Hanity. Its an endless Arnold love fest.

But...
If the Party is willing to make up with the conservative base, it is THEY that must reach out to McClintock. If Arnold does it, he looks weak. The Republican Party has to eat their ego and kiss up. Tgey created this mess, let them clean it up.
