I don’t think Chuchy considers Arnold a Republican, and I know that the Far Right, who are now in control of the Republcian Party, don’t consider Arnold a Republican, in fact the Far Right would probably consider Chuchy a radical since he actually discusses issues with people.
Ken is correct: Arnold could only be considered a Repub in the far left mind of California liberals. And since they control Calif’s Assembly, any fiscally conservative initiative he has is doomed to failure.
Ken’s problem is he is convinced the country is left to radical left. Anything to the right of that is far right to him.
Arnold doesn’t deserve to have an (R) next to his name. He disagrees with easily 90% of the GOP platform, and has presided over one of the biggest gubernatorial failures in US history. He’s no more a Republican than I am a Demoncrat…
Oldie, I only dislike the Austrians I’ve had contact with in one for or another. So far over several thousand. I should think there would be some good ones out there some where ! PS Haven’t had any contact with Gov Arnold yet.
churchill - Haven’t noticed the GOP kicking out Ahnuld. Nor did they kick out Bill Weld (though Jesse Helms blocked his appointment as an ambassador for some stupid reason). Nor Lowell Weicker. If there’s only one way to be in the GOP, then you’re as lockstep as the righties claim the Democrats to be. There should be a range within each party, if only to enable cooperation across the aisle. The GOP tightened down considerably a few years ago to focus themselves, which worked, but now it seems to have gotten to the point where it is self-destructive.
MOTIVE: So who advocated kicking out Ahnuld? Big G? Certainly not me. My only point was if you look up Republican in the dictionary, you won’t find a picture of Arnold. AFAIK, he’s as far to the right as Calif will go– but then, I’m not from there, and wouldn’t generally comment on Calif politics. I was just responding to Ken’s thoughts on what my opinion of him would be (why someone would do that to begin with is beyond me, now that I think of it!)
churchill–“as far to the right as Calif will go”? Ever been there? What makes politics in California so weird is that there are just as many hard-right people as hard-left – they just don’t get the attention. Orange County’s airport is John Wayne Airport! Sacramento proper is quite conservative, along with most of Northern California. So is Oakland, right in the shadow of San Francisco. San Diego is a major Navy base, and has lots of generally conservative Navy retirees.
MOTIVE: No disagreement from me. Except perhaps that statewide elections seem to be determined by the large cities of LA and SF. But as I said, I don’t live there, don’t like to comment on their politics, and was drawn into this debate by someone who had the audacity to speak for ME.

Accurate depiction of wishful thinking.

Wouldn’t that be 55 more (using Obama geography)?
Actually, there are already 21 repub govs, so this toon makes no sense and doesn’t work on multiple levels.

Auhnuld is a Austrian. Ask Humphries about Austrians.

I’d rather go back to my 57 State gag.
