You cannot argue the fact that ultimately electing someone comes down to voter turnout. Simon wasn't helped by the fact that he just didn't have enough money to mount an effective campaign, but it still came down to people like me not going out to vote for him.

That does make you, specifically, part of the problem: Unwilling to support conservatives after they've supported RINOs for so very long. However the money issue falls right back on the RINOs within the party.

Simon ultimately lost because he was back-stabbed upstairs. That you did it downstairs doesn't help your case at all. Obviously, you are more of a danger to the Republican Party than Bustamonte...because he...after all...isn't a Republican.

As I said before, y'all deserve all the fruits of your Liberal labors. You sure as hell aren't willing to try for a conservative and will betray one within your party who makes it against your wishes...so why the hell should conservatives do ANYTHING For you guys?

You had your chance and blew it. Now you have a second chance...and you're blowing it as well.

You're overly concerned with the letter after a guy's name. Let me tell you...Stalin is no less a tyrant for having (D) or (R) after his name. So enjoy your Bustamonte...or Swartzenegger...if you can tell the difference when he's in office. Don't pretend to try to be a conservative or even try to persuade a conservative to "compromise".

You aren't a conservative...or you would have voted for Simon. You aren't interested in "compromise" since you aren't willing to bend yourself when you ask others bend for you. Conservatives have been screwed over enough by RINO's upstairs and downstairs...now...they'll vote with their feet.

Don't worry, they'll be back when The Big One hits, and return the remnants of California into a great state once again.

When I said "people like me" I mean average Californians in general. You may have noted the extremely low voter turnout last election.

I didn't vote at all in the last election. There were no Senate seats up, and Simon wasn't inspiring. And obviously enough, I wasn't about to vote for Davis. It seems the majority of Californians felt the same as I did, hence the low voter turnout.

I'm not going to cast a vote for someone whom I would be too embarassed to even admit to in mixed company. Most people are like that, as once again, I point to the low voter turnout.

It wasn't just low, it was dismally low.
