I agree with most of this (well terminate might be a bad choice of words) but..the R's are run by a bunch of meatheads, they might never change...but if they did...



GOP should terminate the Christian right



The upset victory of Arnold Schwarzenegger in California shows what the Republican Party could do if it broke with the pro-lifers and abandoned their intrusive efforts to regulate private behavior. Moving to the center on the social issues, demonstrating a libertarian commitment to privacy, the actor/governor held the gender gap to less than 10 points, winning 43 percent of the female vote. Schwarzenegger won the top job in the solid Democratic state of California by carrying the women's vote, a feat that would have been impossible had he embraced the social agenda of his party.



Schwarzenegger also abandoned other elements of his party's national platform as he ran in one of America's most liberal states. His environmental positions were so progressive that he drew the support of many of the state's leading ecology advocates, particularly for his vocal support of hydrogen-fuel-cell cars. Rounding out his move to the center, he refused to fall into the anti-bilingual-education trap and appealed explicitly and effectively to Hispanic-American voters.
