Yeah? Tough. They couldn't get off their fat asses and help Schwarzenegger pass his ballot initiatives.
Arnold is not Politically Clumsy, but I believe that Maria was probably the one Adviser that pushed this appointment. Think about it, who better to work really closely with the over-sexed womanizer Governor than someone that is totally grossed out sexually by men? Maria will have no worries with this Lesbian head to head with Arnold behind closed doors.
Amen!!!
You just had to do that, dincha? ROFL!
That's what baffles me about this whole whine job. The only people that correctly objected to Schwarzenegger's other fiascos were generally people on this forum. I haven't heard a whimper in public from so-called Republican leaders regarding Schwarzenegger's blunders, with the exception of McClintock on occassion and very very few others. When it comes to the party leadership, I'm not sure that Tom is what you might term 'a Party Leader' anyway, although I do consider him to be a leader on issues.
Are you suggesting that this latest move left is in response to the special election?
If so, how do you justify all of his prior leftist appointments and actions? Leftist judges. Record borrowing and record spending. Global warming. Stem-cell research support. Promotion of the Sierra Nevada conservancy. Appointments of Tamminen (treehugger), Reiss (leftist activist), Henning (red-diaper boy), etc. These actions were taken at his height of popularity.
By the way, conservatives supported Props 73 through 75 strongly--those initiatives that were most conservative--as evidenced by their strong showing in the election results. More than likely, the ones who didn't show up at the polls were the uninterested mushy-middle electorate who showed up for the recall election to vote for an action hero. Those people will never serve as much of a "base" for a politician.
Scary isn't it?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Conservatives need all the help they can get, even from the LA Slimes, to dump the Austrian. If we're lucky, the Austrian will be so wounded by next spring that a conservative can challenge and beat him in the Republican primary.
The important point is that the CAGOP needs to dump this affable, European, liberal, huckster before he destroys the Republican Party's public image and California's fiscal health.
Yes
I'd agree with you IF there were going to be a primary next spring. From what others have been saying, it's not going to happen. So much for CA's GOP leadership.
Please don't take this as gospel because others are adamant that there will be NO Republican primary. None however have produced published evidence of that fact.
Tookie and Arnold in a remake of The Odd Couple.
You are right! There will be a primary and both Gerald Parsky and Darrel Issa threw their hats into the ring at the February convention... But the dumb delegates got stampeded into swooning for Schwartzie Baby and voted for a one time rule change allowing them to then vote to prematurely endorse him for Governor way back then!!!
So virtually there might at well not be any Primary, which is why many of us have been saying there is no Primary!!! (somebody correct me if I'm mistaken, or wrong, please)
Now... Since I believe the above to be true and largely correct... And since Arnroid essentially hijacked a Recall that Darrel Issa had invested a million of his own fortune to help the grassroots conservatives that got the whole thing started... I think it would be justice if Issa would be paid back by being given the Primary nod by Republicans in '06, just to pay him back and to pay Arnroid back for this flagrant mis-appointment that is way worse than the Harriet what's-her-name SCOTUS appointment!!!
If there's a Republican Primary, Schwarzenegger won't be getting my vote. I'll do my best to make sure he doesn't get a vote from anyone I know on the right either.
If there's a Republican Primary then we've got our work cut out for us. That primary is our only chance to avoid four more years of indigestion.
As I indicated, although you and others have vehemently indicated there will be, practically speaking, no Republican primary on June 6, 2006, it appears that McPherson will accept the 150 signatures in lieu of filing fees up to Feb 23 and Declarations/Nomination Papers plus the $3500 filling fee for gubernatorial candidates registered in the Republican Party. McPherson's site contains no disclaimers that Republicans need not apply.
Again, please correct me if I'm wrong.
He's a Republican politician in California who is doing whatever it takes to get reelected.
Everybody knew he was a RINO going in. But he sure has learned the game!
