The Financial Times has a pair of articles on Arnold Schwarzenegger urging Republicans to move to the center. <\/a> Welcome to Arnie’s big tent<\/a>
\nJust one problem with that, Republicans win from the right, not the center. Democrats have to move to the center to lessen the impact of their kooky ideals.
\nA few choice bits from the articles:<\/p>\n

The California governor was one of his party\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s few successes in last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mid-term elections, winning a second term in spite of Republicans losing control of the US Senate and Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which would be great, if he weren’t a RINO.<\/p>\n

He said he would welcome a presidential bid from Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, who is considering standing as an independent candidate in next year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s election.<\/p>\n

Mr Bloomberg was a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153miracle worker\u00e2\u20ac\u009d who transcended party lines in running New York, a Democrat party stronghold, Mr Schwarzenegger said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Miracle worker? No, the word you are looking for is OPPORTUNIST. Bloomberg was only a RINO, and only that, until he judged it inconvenient to have that big “R” behind his name<\/p>\n

He [Schwarzenegger]was re-elected last November in a landslide, despite crushing defeats for Republicans in the US Senate and Congress. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Name recognition bought him the win, not any reasoned thought.
\nGo back to the gym and back to the movies, Arnold, we liked you there, and you were good at that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
