Arnold's Position on Issues

Now that Arnold is in the race for California Governor, it's only natural that people want to know his positions on issues. The Washington Post says they are a mystery--we're not so sure. He's pro-choice. He's described as becoming less of a traditional Republican since marrying Maria Shriver. He said the GOP drive to impeach Clinton made him ashamed to be a Republican.

Last year, he led the campaign in California for Proposition 49, which calls for about a half-billion dollars in state spending on after-school programs.

....After riots here a decade ago, Schwarzenegger began pumping millions of dollars into a nonprofit organization called Inner-City Games, which offers recreational opportunities to disadvantaged youth. With his financial backing, the program has spread to 15 cities across the country.

Schwarzenegger also has been a major financial contributor to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a prominent Jewish institution in Los Angeles.

Arnold is sounding pretty good to us. This isn't an endorsement, and we still oppose the recall. But we do like what we see so far.

Update: Here's a sobering thought though.... Bush campaigning for Arnold? That would definitely cost Arnold our good wishes.
