Centerfield

Arnold had to turn to the center because the CA conservatives backed another candidate in the referendum/election.

I am a moderate Republican. I believe in abortion, I believe in strict gun control. Thus, I would applaud anyone, who of their own volition, moves to or finds a centrist view of politics. With that stated, I am loathe to congratulate Arnold on this, because I dont think this decision was his.

Republicans and all those who voted for the President, must remember who his wife is. We must also remember who his wife is related to. Maria, Jack, Bobby, and Teddy literally invented the liberal wing of the democratic party. Somehow, I dont think liberal thinking plays with what we just witnessed on November 2, 2004.

Sources and higher ups in Arnold's administration have as much as admitted that Maria has a hand in policy making decisions. While I dont have a problem with democratic thinking, as I agree with some of it, I do have a problem with it being imposed through a someone in the coat of a Republican.

I am not saying Arnold is hollow. I am also not saying that he is a puppet being controlled by his wife. I just dont feel comfortable with someone that close to the democratic party has a husband advocating "lets move to the center." It would be exactly as if Mary Matalin held a press conference tommorrow and implored Republicans should move to the center. Would that seem suspicious to anyone?

Here's an update

Also on Monday, the Washington-based Christian Wire Service distributed another version of Schwarzenegger's remarks, attributing it to Karen England of the Sacramento-based Capitol Resource Institute and headlined: "Schwarzenegger shows ignorance and disrespect." This account began with: "Gov. Schwarzenegger made statements to a German magazine, published over the weekend, that the GOP party should move to the left and embrace both gay marriage and abortion rights." In fact, Schwarzenegger mentioned neither hot-button issue in the interview and offered environmental protection as his only example of how the party should shift its ideological positioning. Nor were gay marriage and abortion mentioned in the German newspaper article.

I totally agree with the statement Arnold Gave, But, Since I'm a moderate to conservative Democrat, I would like my Party be the once to move to capture the vast political center in America. The only question to answer is which party will be brave enough to make such a move

I think there will continue to be individuals from both parties who will represent the views of the majority of us out here who are called centrists... but the likelihood of either party moving towards the center as a whole is quite slim.

As I'm sure some of you have read in some of the books that would fall into the realm of centrist/moderate/independent political literature, both parties have been trending away from the center for decades now, which is probably the number one cause (I think) for the drastically lower percentages of the populace who vote.

The next presidential election will be quite interesting. I can't wait to find out who Mrs. Clinton will pick as her Vice Presedential running mate. She is already beginning to move towards the center, and with her past support for some very liberal causes she will have no problem keeping the party under her banner as she moves towards the center.

I just hope the Republicans end up choosing a real moderate to run against her... I'm a big McCain fan (I actually voted for him this year) so I hope he gets the nod, but I'm not holding my breath. It'll take someone like him to knock Hillary out though, so maybe common sense will avail... because we all know how much common sense politicians use right? hehe
