It's all the conservatives fault , moderates and dems are ruthless, any good republican much less conservative ones should and are repulsed by the attitude that those now in power are infallible.

That has to change and quick or we truly will have a one party system. Frankly, my gut feel is we already do here in California.

And that is the problem with the so-called "GOP strategy." As Sundheim implied last year (see post 21), he thinks ideology is no longer important--it is only "winning" that matters. The big-government, big-spending, big-borrowing agenda is being embraced by these infiltrators. This new "pragmatic" party will serve no one but themselves. It's time to throw the bums out and return the Republican party to one that stands for something!

Dick Mountjoy is a token candidate and perhaps the most transparent of token candidates we've run against Boxer & Feinstein yet. It's truly PATHETIC.

What was Tom Campbell?????

[ElkGroveDan]

Since Feinstein is going to win with or without the Governor's endorsement he might as well endorse her if it might aid his own reelection efforts.

It's just as likely to cost him votes. I know for certain of two voters that will consider that the final straw.

"What was Tom Campbell?????"

Or Bill Jones, for that matter!!!

[SMM48]

More likely, he'd team up with his buddy Villaraigosa instead.

Does this guy really have a chance at being Governor? I think he's a front for the Mexican government.

[calcowgirl]

I don't know, but he sure seems to be cozy with all the L.A. power brokers.
Any traditional Republican voices seem to be MIA.

[calcowgirl]

Or Bill Jones, for that matter!!!

Bill who? Campaign? What campaign?

[SierraWasp]

Say wha...??? Yew tawlkin ta me???

[calcowgirl]

LOL.
What I meant was, there was such an absence of a campaign that it's hard to remember who Bill Jones was
(Yes, I'm exaggerating a little--but not much!)

... Oh, PS,, I've already written off the 2006 and 2008 elections in California as likely doomed to fail, I'm looking to 2010..

I contend, again, that this is not what you've written off, this is your goal.

Its good when others perceive the agenda of the ilk.

[NormsRevenge]

Care to place a bet on how much state spending increases the next few years under either Schwarzenegger or
Angelides?

Your record of support is nothing to crow about either.

[68 grunt]

Hey, wait one minute! Aren't you the one calling Arnold's non-endorsement of Feinstein "pragmatic" and saying Mountjoy can't win? One-way-Street, the usual tactic of the "Main Street" republicans.

Obfuscate all you like, but he's right, you're the consistent one. Consistent at heckling, that is. Y'know, undermining the CA GOP strategy base. I can just picture you completing newzdude's prediction, "Look, they couldn't win!". LOL

[calcowgirl]

"the CA GOP strategy base"

Please define what that means.

[68 grunt]

... Your record of support is nothing to crow about either.

Unlike you, I want no stinkin' demoncraps to win a dang thing.

[NormsRevenge]

PS

It's clear what the (M)ilk's agenda is,, support big spenders and big borrowers.

[calcowgirl]

It's clear what the (M)ilk's agenda is,, support big spenders and big borrowers.

...and those who do not oppose the homosexual agenda.

[68 grunt]

"the CA GOP strategy base"

Please define what that means.

To me this means the GOPers we need, plus the wishy washy, easily swayed, completely unreliable, often unwashed, middleground. They aren't GOP, but they're needed in the strategy to win.

This leads again to Newzjunky's observation that your goal (my words) is to divide first the GOP. With division within the GOP the middleground will never follow. But, you know that, don't you?

[NormsRevenge]

Boy, that's gonna smart not being able to vote for Moonbeam again, huh? (Or is Poochigian too conservative for you too?)

Who says I'm voting for any democrat, btw?

[68 grunt]

... ...and those who do not oppose the homosexual agenda.

Dang, it doesn't get much better than this! The faux-bull is inferring that I support the homosexual agenda. What a hoot! Doesn't get much more unsavory than that.
