There is a war going on in the right. It is between talk show host Rush Limbaugh, and CA. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. ( http://www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-me-arnold21mar21,0,2284868.story?coll=la-home-headlines )
"All irrelevant. Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant. I am not his servant," the governor said on NBC's "Today" show.
Limbaugh then declared on his radio program that Schwarzenegger, lacking the communications skills to persuade Californians of his Republican values, had sold them out.
"If he had the leadership skills to articulate conservative principles and win over the public as [former President] Reagan did, then he would have stayed conservative," said Limbaugh, who is often seen as the embodiment of all conservative viewpoints.
What has the CA. Gov. done to make those on the right question if he really is one of us, stem-cell research, mandatory curbs on carbon dioxide emissions and universal health care.
In the NBC interview, Schwarzenegger said he was "the people's servant of California. What they call me — Democrat or Republican or in the center, this and that — that is not my bottom line. This is for them to talk about."
Appearing on "Face the Nation" on Feb. 25, for example, Schwarzenegger was asked about Limbaugh by host Bob Schieffer.
The governor replied, "I always say that you don't have to give up your principles, all you have to do is just serve the people. And when you have two parties, you have to compromise."
Some of us on the right tried to warn the people of CA. if they elected Schwarzenegger, they wouldn't be getting a true conservative. A book I read says by their fruit you will know them. I guess those of us who warned the CA. voters are being proven right, aren't we?
