A centrist, the actor-governor describes himself as a "post-partisan" who wants to bridge the political divide that often leaves the state capital of Sacramento gridlocked.

--

Wasn't there a certain other politico that wanted to build a bridge to the future too.. and we know how well that panned out. ;-)

Those Third Waysians, ya got to love 'em.. or ya'd have to throttle 'em for being so stupid.

Well, California Republicans, you either champion Conservatism or with leftism, embrace Massachusetts moribundity.

Is it the people that elect these idiots that are to blame or is it the parties that nominate and fund these ‘roids, or both?

I think the CA capital is better gridlocked seeing all the crap that has been flowing out of it.

[NormsRevenge]

The sad thing is ,, all the while they are gridlocked, the mandated spending and COLAs and programs in general keep growing,, to say we live on thin ice here is an understatement, we are walking on vapor, it’s all special effects.. Mr’ FReeze was just a movie role, not the Gub’s true self when it comes to spending.

Incrementally over decades the socialists have increased their influence in the GOP to the point where the party has aligned itself with the Socialist Democrat party by replacing Conservative core principles with Socialism. Conservatives only logical recourse is to leave the GOP and unite with the large number of unaffiliated Conservatives.

Centrist? LOL

Not hardly. When the RP in California sets their agenda, Arnold should be in Pakistan.

One page. Hell Schwarzenegger’s agenda would fit in a paragraph.

We need a triggering event. CFR and Comprehensive Immigration Reform didn’t do the trick.
NeXt!;-)

Like his scripts, short and sweet ... and easily memorized.

If the Republican Party moves to the mythical middle, it will be doomed to be in the perennial minority. A party that stands for nothing other than expediency deserves repudiation by the electorate.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, like a small que card.

I had to laugh at that one. Man, I could go in twenty different directions with that set-up.

[DoughtyOne]

The joke is probably on us. Schwarzenegger probably means trojan horse in German.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Porn star Mary Carey would’ve been a better Governor than RINOLD & she would have probably looked better too.

ROFL!

That is too true. The Terminator wants to be loved too badly. What unfortunate is that he could if he used his position to give voice to a conservatism as he did at the 04 convention he could accomplish a conservative revolution that would make him as love as Reagan. We need a fearless politician who knows how to speak to the people and lead with his ideas. What we have nationwide is a vacuum of leadership. Not only can they not articulate conservatism convincingly they make clear that they don’t really believe it and readily offer apologies where none are due to those who are systematically destroying the very foundations of this nation.
