I mainly ended up on his enemy list because I was disloyal, but I also think I ended up there because he thinks I am one of those crazy fiscal conservatives that wants to destroy the safety net. I don't think they cared when I wrote articles about his pro-life stuff, but the articles I wrote critisizing their fiscal prudence really crossed the line and showed the people around him that I was a "financial ideologue" that couldn't be trusted. My fiscal criticisms were damaging to his administration in the "Valley" and I am pretty sure that is why I became "persona non grata". I think the social conservatives around he think I lost favor because of my socially liberal views, but I am pretty sure it was they new I could not be trusted to go along with the spending increases. They warned Arnold that I was a knee jerk fiscal conservative. I don't think I am, but that is the way I am perceived.
