Arnold a liberal??? Tell me you're kidding, PLEASE!
From: NYDaily News 12/22/04

Arnold Schwartzenegger wants to liberalize the GOP.

The California governor has told a German newspaper the Republicans should move "a little to the left."

"The Republican Party currently covers only the spectrum from the right wing to the middle," the former action hero told Sueddeutsche Zeitung. "I would like the Republican Party to cross this line. ...This would immediately give the party 5% more votes without it losing anything elsewhere."

Maria Shriver's husband was guarded when asked about his presidential ambitions, saying only that a debate on amending the U.S. Constitution to allow foreign-born citizens to run was "overdue."

1. The current Republican party
covers the spectrum from fascist right to radical right.

2. I was told I was a "liberal Republican"
by one of those political quiz sites. They had pictures of Giuliani and Swarzeneggar with my results. must be because those two are pro-choice

5. He's all talk when it comes to his vaunted liberal ideals.
All he did in CA was push through his conservative agenda. Now, if he stands behind full Civil Unions for example, I might change my mind. If he also stands up for more of his liberal ideals, then I'll consider him a moderate at most. ;-)

8. Nazis are not liberal
And God how I loathe Shriver for giving the Nazi the political capital necessary to allow it to even dream of becoming president.

Then again, it was her "authentic self".

:scared:
