You don't come across as "politically detached"....I'm not certain of your "right" to fume and sputter over Davis..when you didn't even bother to vote. IMO, much of your argument came across as empty..after my reading that revelation.

-------------------------------------------------

I understand that from a sterilized viewpoint it looks like I did my small part to disservice Republicans, but I don't see it like that at all.

Hardly "sterilized"..., I wouldn't use that terminology..."clean" would be more like it. LOL!! But...your not voting...makes your argument against Republicans not wanting to vote for Arnold..somewhat toothless.

-------------------------------------------

I'm glad for the recall and a 2nd shot with some inspiring candidates. I'm glad it worked out this way.

I most certainly understand and can appreciate that.

It's not just that Simon didn't "move" me, he EMBARASSED me. Him as Governor would have made me feel ashamed to be a Republican. I seriously don't know how the Democrats can look in the mirror themselves after voting in Davis. I didn't want to be in their position.

Okay..so Simon didn't "move" you..& he embarassed you also. How did he embarass you? And how would he of "shamed" you?

fwiw-

He embarassed me because he is a grinning idiot and a bufoon.

I see it like this:
Liberals love to talk about how "dumb" George W. Bush is, and they like to point to this as an example of how all Republicans are dumb.

Giving them a Governor Simon as well would only lend weight to their argument.


And I would like to point out now that the liberals took their cues that Bush is "dumb" from the right-wingers' attacks on him during the 2000 primary. Just like the right-wingers are setting the table for the Democrats against Arnold now.

It seems to me, with the shrill right-wing doing all the leg work, the shrill left-wing get to just sit back and watch.

In other words: with friends like these, who needs enemies?
