Calif. Clash Over GOP 'Values'
By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, Associated Press Writer

1 hour ago

LOS ANGELES - California Republicans are headed for a showdown over the direction of the party that could highlight national schisms over gay rights, gun control and abortion.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants the state GOP platform _ the party's statement of core values _ boiled down to as little as a single page focusing on lowering taxes, limiting the size of government and building a strong national defense.

A centrist, the actor-governor describes himself as a "post-partisan" who wants to bridge the political divide that often leaves the state capital of Sacramento gridlocked.

But some conservatives see his move as an attempt to undercut party positions on everything from traditional marriage to opposition to abortion rights.

"There's a move afoot to make sure the Republican Party stands for nothing," said Michael Spence, president of the conservative California Republican Assembly. It's "a direct assault on Republican Party principles. They think they can reduce the party to a few lines or sound bites."<snip>

Poor babies.:rofl:

1. "Post-partisan"? Yeah. That would be the NY Post.

2. Arnie never did buy into their "culture" war...

I've actually been expecting this. He's more of a paleo-conservative. Still deluded, certainly, but not mad-dog crazy like the neos.

3. Shoud they treat that post-partisan depression with antidepressants or vitamins and exercise?
