Here's the paragraph that fits the FReepin "posse" on FR during the recall campaign and persists to this day, defending Governor Caveman!!! "Deeply rooted policy differences and personality clashes that provided all the excitement of lusty, newsworth Democratic conventions past - and that surely exist today - have been submerged in the fervent desire of the Outs to Get Back In. The driving ideology is In-ism."
Brother! Does that ever remind me of the nasty intramural smashing, crashing and bashing that went on here to extinguish the hopes of anyone on FR not swooning for Schwarzenegger and trying to hold out for conservatism!!!
To many of us, it felt like we were even considered "disruptors," fit to be pitched out of the FR family of conservative contributers due to supporting a consistent conservative!!! That hurt a LOT!!! It's hard to forget, let alone forgive.
Thus, even this article about the current Dems, reminded me of the "In-ism" that was and still is being practiced here. I sure wish we could get back to normal support of conservative principles that CAN win elections in CA!!! It's been done before, ya know. Many times.
I've been posting on this forum for six years now. I would think you would be able to find out what I support and what I don't, but evidently you don't want to do that. You'd rather hiss and moan.
I've told you directly a number of times that I do not think Schwarzenegger is going to be a good governor. Is that too complex a sentence for you to comprehend?
Yesterday or the day before your hot topic was Conservency Preserves. I said that the could declare each of them unconstitutional, confiscate their land and give it back to the citizens. This wasn't good enough for you and one other individual.
I haven't defended this budget process or given Kudos for Schwarzenegger's part in it. I have express my displeasure with the state's tactic of taking too much funds from the local municipalities.
I did vote for Scharzenegger. That doesn't mean I think he was the best man, that I undyingly support him on all issues, or want him to remain governer after 2006.
We've been down this road a number of times. While I do like Schwarzenegger's movies, and him too, I don't think he's the quality of man we need in there. Neither was Bustamante.
On election day, it was Bustamente or Schwarzenegger. McClintock's 14% just wouldn't cut it.
I'm sorry that Schwarzenegger made it in over Tom, but I'm not sorry that he made it in over Bustamante. As for Tom, I think he's a self-sentered idiot.
I voted for Buchanan in 2000, so I'm capable of throwing my vote away. I just elected not to do so this time. I won't be doing it again either.
If I'm going to caste a vote, it's going to influence the electable candidates on election day. This is not about adulation. It's about demonization. I would never waste a vote with a prick like Bustamante running.
Please don't ping me to thread which reveal you haven't a clue as to what I've been telling your for months.
Thank you.
