Yes but you can never kill the Terminator

From the Washington Post:
Christian Right Takes on “Terminator”

A major Christian Right organization is calling out Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the latest broadside in the post-election battle for the soul of the Republican Party and a clear sign that the culture war might be shifting back to the states.The Family Research Council’s latest Action Alert urges social conservatives to contact Schwarzenegger’s office directly and tell him to terminate his “inappropriate post-election behavior” regarding the passage of California’s controversial Proposition 8 that bans same-sex marriage.

Schwarzenegger opposed Prop 8. After the election, he said he hopes the California Supreme Court will overturn the ballot initiative. He predicted that the 18,000 gay and lesbian couples who have already wed would not see their marriages nullified by the initiative. He encouraged Prop 8 opponents to protest ‘until they get it done.’”

If you appreciated Schwarzenegger’s support, you might consider countering the Family Research Council by emailing Arnold and telling him what a great job he did.  I never thought I’d write that sentence, but life is full of surprises.

Conservatives are also threatening to recall the judges of the California Supreme Court should they overturn Prop 8.  In other words, the same people who are wringing their hands and crying about the fact that we are publicizing Prop 8 contributions and boycotting businesses who supported Prop 8, are now threatening retribution if they don’t get their way. You say tomato, I say…

Ahem, referring to the crazy Religibigots, of course.
