Hey, Red... you're back under your old persona? Or should I say "older"? You're twisting statements and throwing out strawmen here. Please show me one post where I "hate" (your word put in red) McClintock? I was actually happy to hear he was going on O'Reilly as I thought he could pull together more support from the public against the Mayor. I have very little problem with McClintock, he's just being a politician. My only problem is with McClintock supporters on this site who continuously throw out poisonous comments toward freepers who supported the "rightward most viable candidate" to quote WF Buckley.

Aside from how unbelievably nasty supposed "conservatives" can be, that garbage makes the site looks as rabid and brainless as DU. And yes, your strawmen were silly which is why you used them. Read your last paragraph again... it suits you and your pals to a "T". Using big problems that California is facing to say "I told you so" regarding recall candidates. Some folks here seem almost excited when another problem gets in Arnold's way. That's just so.... "Democrat".

I just included you in quotes from your partner. I didn't mean to imply that you hate McClintock, (hint, your friend does.) I can say that you hate McClintock's FR supporters, and I'll prove it with your own next paragragh.

OK, I know you adore saying that you are a victim of nastiness, and I have no doubts that people have been nasty to you, but you have a REAL problem seeing how nasty YOU can be, but what part of that sentence doesn't scream to you "nasty"? I honestly have no idea how you think anything I said justifies your attacks on me, I didn't say one word to you that was nasty, (just that your claims of holding your breath for someone to show you the ugliness of your side where unjust, ironically enough) Its pretty obvious that your side is every bit as ugly as the "conservatives" (I would be too if I was compelled to defend people rather than policy) I don't blame you.

But that aside, my point is and was that this is wrong and needs to stop. You won, we lost, McClintock is just a lowly State Senator, daring to speak on Savage and OReilly, the Gov is not threatened by another recall, so him promoting Conservative ideas needs to be championed by EVERY Conservative on FR. Yet the very mention of his name predictably rehashes into some childish refighting of the recall. I know, you don't think you started it, but it needs to stop.

Oddly enough, to answer your conspiracy as to who I really am, I agree, it is precisely the behavior you are talking about that pushed me away from FR. Because talking about people rather than policy is just not compelling.
