Come on-there is no need to insult people who disagree with you. I am a conservative Republican. I vote Republican always. That being said, I see no evidence that California will support a conservative like Simon (he did lose) or McClintock. If Arnold wasn't in the race Busmante would likely win IMHO. Arnold isn't causing McClintock to lose-the guy would likely lose anyway. We have to accept the fact that given California's demographics, a conservative can not win at this time. Electing a Republican is important-it could rejuvenate the California GOP and help Bush get re-elected . The Dems try and get their people elected by dividing the Repubs-don't allow them to succeed. We are all Republicans, and we all have certain beliefs which we are entitled too. If we didn't have Rino's in the Senate Daschle would be majority leader; think about that for a minute. You may not like the Doctor's pragmatic approach, but I think he is right. There is no victory in losing elections. Supporting candidates who can not win is futile: a waste of time and money. It makes you feel good...only until the Democrat is sworn in and begins to push his leftist agenda.....

Don't mistake me. I do not mean to insult you.

You said that Arnold must have had ESP 2 years ago.

I meant you to understand that he didn't have ESP and thus was telling you the truth about his political views 2 years ago...and more.

If Bustamante wins against McClintock, then California is in for some hard years and Arnold merely serves as an political ad for Dems: "Republicans have no answers."

What will rejuvenate the California GOP is an end to the RINO politicos managing it. Simon would have rejuvenated the California GOP without RINO sabotage. This we already know.

You make a mistake beliving that a liberal Republican has a chance in California. It's a mistake that has had very few exceptions within that state...Simon is the only exception I'm aware of since Reagan left office.

Why vote for a liberal Republican when you can have the "real thing" in the Democrat candidate?
