Party unity
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Sep 12, 2003
Conservative Republicans in California are facing a familiar request: They should support Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial campaign, because the muscular liberal can unite the party.
This is the standard liberal ploy. They can't back conservatives, because conservatives are "divisive." But conservatives should back liberals, because liberals promise unity. On their terms.
You know the drill: "Why do we have to keep arguing? If you'd just admit that I'm right, we could all agree!"
