There will always be 100 shades of conservatism. From far right to left of center. Declaring war is counterproductive. Challenging the mantra of the center and center left is far more effective. Plus, there is always a chance, that after being pounded with reality, day after day, they will realize that their blind, partisan loyalty is not serving their personal interests.
I am impressed by the conduct of the calcowgirl account (CCGA). Whether the FairOpinion account, or the Tamsey account, or the GrandpaDave account, the approach is always the same. The CCGA patiently waits until these partisans have had their say. Then the CCGA presents sourced facts and quotes, which differ greatly from the mantra just presented and asks for a reasoned response. After a sufficient time without a reply, the CCGA then politely asks the partisans to put up or shut up. They always shut up.
Republican Party loyalists, especially those from the center on a conservative forum, are at times a real pain in the everyone's side, but always remember:
Treat all with respect but be kind to Republicans for they have the greatest potential to become conservatives.
Not to be too irreverent, however, he wasn't talking about CA politics, was he? Because Arnold just caused GANG-GREEN to inherit 1/5th of CA with the Sierra-Nevada CONservancy!!!
