Holiday Moderation

Grinch Arnold. The Kermit Claus. Mel's Passion. Minnesota Americans. Atheists vs. Theists. Plus much more.
p> ARNOLD'S EXPENSES br> Re: George Neumayr's Another Losing Liberalism : /p> p>George Neumayr is right on about Schwarzenegger. We in California had the ability to get McClintock and ended up choosing Schwarzenegger instead. My only quibble with Mr. Neumayr is on the cost of Prop 71. The $3 billion in bonds must be paid back with interest over the next 20 years. So the real cost to California will be around $6 billion. What an evil use of taxpayer money! br> -- Brooks Friend br> Huntington Beach, California /p>

This development may be signaling the direction of American politics in the future as the kooky Democrats fade away (as major American parties have done in history) and the Republicans split left and right with Arnold, Specter, et al. in one group and the conservatives in the other.

p>When I moved to Texas in the early 1960s the most important elections here were the primaries to select the "couldn't lose" Democrat candidates. And now I see again the primaries becoming important as majority Republicans deal with RINOs and their out of step positions on social and taxation issues. The good news is that this alignment might mean that foreign policy will once again end at the water's edge. br> -- Charles Romer
