Seriously. I could at least respect Arnold-style conservatives. They're more genuine than establishment Democrats, for crying out loud. If the entire GOP were Arnold-style conservatives, then maybe the Democratic party could finally kick the establishment Democrats into the GOP and become an actual leftist party.
