And for those with presidential aspirations, the strong stance in opposition to the Obama administration may be seen as a way to stand out and stake a claim to leadership. With state budgets teetering, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, one of the moderates and a supporter of the stimulus bill, emphasized the need for Republicans in state houses and in Congress to be “team players” in facing the economic crisis and not to be bound unduly by party orthodoxies. “You’ve got to go beyond just the principles,” he told George Stephanapolous on ABC’s “This Week.”
"Beyond" the principles, Mr. Governator?
But if we do, are they really principles? What do they mean? Anything?
What do we as Republicans stand for? Anything?
