He stands for nothing, apparantly. I'm sure we'll hear more once the political consultants are through with him.

Yes. And will not bow down to extreme right or left politics:beer:
Wow, I guess you fell for the "I can't be bought" speech. Everyone has a price.
Yeah, you would think Bush would just call in a decapitation strike against Sacramento if he really wants control of CA that badly...

I think this recall is ridiculous considering they voted for the man less than a year ago. My question is, Why can't we recall the president?

Already ducking questions, I see:
LA Times: On the Spot, a Leading Man Sticks to His Lines
Arnold Schwarzenegger's transition from movie star to gubernatorial candidate hit its first rough patch Friday as he ducked questions about the state's fiscal crisis, gay marriage and workplace benefits.
At the same time, Schwarzenegger picked up the support of President Bush, who said the bodybuilder-turned-actor would make a good governor.
But on the third day of his campaign, the novice Republican candidate drew his first sustained attack from Democrats, who pounced on his refusal to answer some questions during a round of morning interviews on national television news shows.
Asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" about gay marriage, he replied: "I don't want to get into that right now."
Asked about a news report quoting aides saying he was open to tax increases, Schwarzenegger said: "I can't imagine anyone on my team said that." He said that his solution was not raising taxes or cutting programs, but to "bring businesses back to California." But Schwarzenegger offered no strategy for attracting business. In fact, he has argued for reversing an increase in the car tax ? which would cost the state treasury billions ? even as he has advocated for more spending on school buildings and teacher hiring.
Financial experts who rate the state bonds have said that cuts in services or higher taxes or both are necessary to close the state's budget gap.
Schwarzenegger declined requests to explain how he would manage all of this.
On NBC's "Today Show," interviewer Matt Lauer pressed him. "You talk about the budget deficit. You talk about the energy crisis, the slumping economy, people leaving California. Give me some specifics, Arnold. How are you going to turn it around?"
Schwarzenegger offered no details, focusing his answer on the governor:
"Well, I think the first and most important thing is to know that it takes leadership, because Gray Davis is saying he has the experience and all of those things. We have seen now what happens. He has sold himself as the man that has experience you cannot buy. What happened with all his experience? Look at the situation we're in right now."
...
South said that media outlets needed to apply more scrutiny to Schwarzenegger and mentioned in particular the actor's record of voting. (A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County registrar-recorder said Friday that Schwarzenegger had voted in only two of the last eight statewide elections).
Even some Republicans questioned the TV appearances. "Does anyone ever get a direct answer from him?" asked Republican strategist Arnold Steinberg. "They asked him specific, direct easy questions. He's just now answering."
Pressed about his lack of detailed positions in Bellflower, Schwarzenegger said: "With the campaign, everything is under control. I'm having a great time in this campaign. I have so much energy. I have so much fire. I will be going from home to home to talk to the people of California."

Rush is a DIE-HARD conservative and one must take his remarks and put them in that context. In relation to Rush - Arnold is an lefty if you only look at the right side of the spectrum. Also one must realize that a California conservative/republican now days(since Reagan) would be considered a liberal almost anywhere else(besides NewYork
).Arnold would be a decent moderate california republican. A true conservative in California would have about as much chance of winning the Govenorship as Dean or Graham(and the other dwarves) have at winning the Presidency.

About the only difference between Arnold and a moderate democrat is that he has a (R) by his name. He is anti-gun ( bad, most dem's think this is great ! ), pro-choice ( good for me and dem's seem to like that a lot ), very pro-social programs ( i.e welfare, etc.. bad but dem's love that ! ), and very intolerant of the religious right ( you might not like that but dem's sure do ! ), and he wants to bring back companies to California so he can tax them to raise money for all the nice social programs he is trying to come up with ( bad ! I guess dem's like this ). Oh yeah he is socially liberal ( nothing wrong with that IMHO but you Rep's wont like it ) and here is the best quote from Arnold so far on the whole Clinton impeachment "That was another thing I will never forgive the Republican Party for."
