southhack?
who is "southhack?"
and "southhack" has nothing to do with you and me and your personal insults towards me
and I'm still waiting for the post that you claimed to have made that I "backed down"
Now that's rich! I know that's a lie, 'cause I never backed down from anyone in my life!
now if you think you have the balls to meet me then do so otherwise stow it!
I'm in the city every weekend so you name the time and place and we'll see who is "backing down"
If conservatives did not vote on Nov 8 to "teach the CAGOP a lesson" then those conservatives are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
As to the other charges leveled against forum members by partisan loyalists, the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned. Time will provide evidence of partisan participation in last Tuesday's election but philosophical participation will never be available, except anecdotally.
If, as I suspect, partisan participation was less than expected, the CAGOP can look inward to the conduct of their campaign. Motivated members will vote.
BTTT

Tuesday's Defeat
Thoughts on the not so "special election"...
[Tom McClintock] 11/14/05
Norm's link above has the same title as what Norm posted
The title is a compilaion of both the title and byline on the California Republic web site for this article, bitch at them.. it was posted as found..
compilation
Tom is the greatest -- in print and on radio.
In person and on camera he has a wierd sort of unfocused gaze that is disconcerting.
I think that is what is holding him back. But I could be wrong. And I hope I am.
It's misleading and you know it. He never wrote that part.
You bet I'll "bitch" about it.
Apparently they didn't think his real title was punchy enough for their taste
Senator McClintock's Statement on the Special Election
Admin Mod, could you please at least [bracket] Senator McClintock's name in the title, as shown in the real link?
I don't know what CPAs you are referring to, but that isn't what has been reported. Last month, it was reported that he has vetoed less than 0.2% spending over the past two years (millions, not billions).
CA: Governor seeks greater control over spending to avoid deficitsOpponents say the governor already can make cuts by using the line-item veto, but administration officials say its practical effects are minimal given the enormous expenditures in a $117.5 billion budget. The governor has used the line-item veto 133 times in the past two years, cutting $435,322 in spending.
This is really gettin hard to believe, just like the Recall was... behavior on FR that was hard to believe!!!
I believe that they were referring not to the line item budget vetoes but the vetoes of new bills that would cost us money this year and every year on out. None of the new stuff he vetoed is free and would have costs from now to whenever. What would have been the cost of the illegal alien drivers licenses?
Tom McClintock is a class act.
He wouldn't (and didn't) call it a "not so 'special election."
It's the principle of the thing. Like why he supported it in the first place.
California has more and more become a state of haves and have nots. The elitist liberals bestow their kind gaze upon the less fortunate. Of course the less fortunate are just thrilled to have such jobs as dog groomer, landscaper, etc. And the real fortunate, less fortunates, my become waiters and waitresses. Look how they great the elites. (I am not kidding, my Father in Law the liberal really sees it this way.)
To be honest, I don't remember one. I don't believe Reagan was all that conservative in his role as governor.
He could have taken Schwawrzenegger to task here, and I think deservedly so for not pushing these initiatives harder, but opted instead to keep on point. Tom represents himself well when he does that, and policy over politics rules the day. He made some good points.
If Schwarzenegger tries pulling the $50 billion bond deal out of his magician's hat, he may just pull back a stump. Nobody but nobody on the right will support that.
Please tell me you voted.
