For good or ill, Arnold's our best defense in state politics and has done some good: more jobs, improved business climate, some workman's comp reform, tax reductions, no driver's licenses for illegals, no gay marriages, against Meathead's preschool initiative, Tookie was executed, took on the unions last year, tried to get parental notification passed... When you get disgusted with Arnold try to remember Gray Davis.

If the views above represent the views of the average, California conservative, not the views of a rabid Republican, then California is, indeed, in trouble.

Whether considering spending, taxation, indebtedness or government growth, by any reasonable definition, Schwarzenegger is a liberal. Schwarzenegger's policies, while not socialism, are both clearly socially and fiscally liberal.

BTW. Do you remember Davis? He's the dishonest politician that spent less, raised taxes less, increased the size of government less, indebted the state less and raised less money for reelection than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Something is very wrong when a corrupt Democrat, run out of office, ends up in second place to his successor in almost every category of factors that define liberal actions.
