Big deal. Personally I'm a Republican because I advocate lower taxes, a common sense regulatory structure, lower tariffs, realism in foreign policy. I don't care a lot for cultural conservatism, but I don't consider those issues a flash point. Many Republicans don't appeal to me because they don't advocate some of those issues. George W. Bush only advocates lower taxes, and he distributed that poorly; otherwise I haven't been too impressed. Arnold's my kind of Republican in general, I think the bond issue postpones the budgetary problems for another day, but at least he's doing something.
