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.

There you go...
...YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Why do you want conservatives to be any different than yourself?

They'll stay home, and you'll get Bustamante, or a man with an (R) behind his name that *might* be marginally different.

How again can you consider yourself a conservative?

It's odd really...if I may draw an analogy to mathematics with negative numbers on the Liberal end and positive numbers on the Conservative end. RINOs...like yourself...want to subtract from a very large negative number, proclaiming that eventually you'll get a positive number because your numbers might not be as negative as those from the Democrats.

Conservatives want numbers to be added to shift that number to the other side of "0".

So, let me get this correct. You've posted dozens of times now on this thread....Hammering home your "perceptions" real and perceived..of where Arnold stands. And you've basically blamed the demise of the "R" party in Calif. on the "conservatives" that won't lay down their "standards" and vote for the RINOS.....BUT...YOU DIDN'T VOTE, in the last election?!?!?! Because you..might have to admit to voting for a "conservative" that doesn't MOVE you?!?!?!?!?!

You are an articulate guy...and have argued well on this thread at times. But this post "peeled the onion" for me. If the Pubbies continue to morph into pseudoquasiwhatever's...like Arnold & yourself. Then I think the "end" is nearer than many may think.

Fwiw-
