3. They didn't mean it.

Probably just something to get Arnold to run. No way in Hell an amendment that big would have made it thru 50 state legislatures in Arnold's lifetime.

2. Arnold decided to moderately support

stem-cell research, global warming and universal health care.. and that pretty much stopped all of that crazy talk right in its tracks!

4. Universal health care? He has vetoed twice a bill for comprehensive

universal health care in our state.

I don't live in CA, and I don't follow its politics closely.. but I had heard a few things, and found the story above. But, this is from '07, so i apologize if A) This story is not true, B) It's inaccurate, or C) He's totally flip-flopped (completely possible) since then.

9. He's been at trying to get the Massachusetts FAILED insurance

friendly plan into our state since he took office. That's the plan you linked to. We don't want that in California. We have enough money problems without adding a candy store for the insurance industry and HMOs. It is mandated insurance. We are already suffering under that with mandated car insurance. He won't pass the plan we want, the Kuehl Health Care plan that the legislature passes and he vetoes. C'mon. The man is a phony "liberal". All his seeming left leaning ideas are only to fool the public who are a majority of liberals into believing that he's Republican Lite.

10. I said he's a republican

with a "moderate" approach to a few issues.. which is why Rush, et. al. don't want him to become president.

I realize this wouldn't be the form of Nationalized Healthcare that we would want. But, ANY form of healthcare reform is objectionable to Republicans.. ESPECIALLY something proposed by a "so called" Republican.

So, while I agree with your point that this hardly counts as healthcare... I stand by my point as well that even touching the issue would cost Arnold support from the GOP.

11. I think the Repubs are done with him anyway. He didn't deliver the

CA electoral votes in the last election and that's why he was shoehorned into the governorship by the RNC. No one really had the intention of letting him run for Prez. Now that he's a failed governor, he's done. Time for him to do ShamWow commercials after his term is done if we can't get rid of him before then.
