He obviously has no appreciation for the theories he professed to follow.
Unfortunately, Arnold is about the best we are going to get in California on a statewide basis.
Arnold won because he was a celebrity and mimicked McClintock by touting fiscal conservatism and Cut-Cut-Cut. Had he run on the platform he is following, he would have lost (unless he put a "D" by his name).
At least he ... has resisted giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens
If we could erase all of Arnold's other actions to date (borrowing, record spending increases, Sierra Nevada conservancy, gun bans, etc. etc. etc.), I'd actually vote in favor of drivers licenses for illegals (which I violently oppose). The few crumbs Arnold has thrown to the right are far outweighed by the other actions he has inititated, promoted, or endorsed.
Schwarzenegger neither resisted a temptation nor pandered to a minority voting block.
Schwarzenegger vetoed the legislation because just behind the cameras was a mob, numbering in the millions, full of righteous anger, armed with pitchforks and ready to do the Austrian bodily harm.
Schwarzenegger took the only course that would allow him to go home that evening and come back and play another day.
