Arnold the RINO
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), who became a movie star by blowing up and shooting anything that stood in his way, has reaffirmed his support of the federal assault-weapons ban.
In a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) last month, Schwarzenegger called on Congress to renew the ban, which is scheduled to expire in September.
“As you are well aware, Californians overwhelmingly support the ban on these dangerous weapons,” wrote Schwarzenegger, who spoke out in favor of the ban during last year’s campaign for the governorship but has not been very vocal on the issue this year.
“The renewal of the federal ban on assault weapons is a prudent, common sense effort to limit the prevalence and availability of dangerous weapons and protect public safety,” Schwarzenegger added.

Lame. I wouldn’t call Arnold a RINO, as he’s done a lot of good for the state, but this is lame.
