I think you need to start all over and get your mind RIGHT!!! Good grief!!!

[SierraWasp]

"I'm not hopeful of seeing that here in FR, nonetheless"

For the life of me, I can't imagine what you would be hopeful of seeing here in FR!!!

This very little here that even comes close to melding with your overly moderate and mushy views, from what I have seen you post!!!

Looks to me like you're another one of those that thinks the idea of partisan politics is what's wrong with not only CA, but America as well!!!

I know... You want to be a moderate so you can appear to everyone as being the smartest, most open minded and "fair" FReeper on the board, right???

Why would Schwarzenegger deny the CA GOP the benefits of holding that position?

Probably for the same reason he won't empower the Republicans in the legislature by vetoing the bloated budgets that Democrats send him.

Schwarzenegger doesn't trust Republicans because he's not one of them. His political registration is a matter of convenience, not loyalty or philosophical agreement.

"I don't want any third parties when we can't even get our danged elected officials to honor the Parties we have, nor their stated platforms!!!"

I just think her middle name is just so appropriate!!!

I've written letters before, but not on this issue specifically. I'm disappointed that Party leaders are more upset about this single issue because it might effect a future campaign strategy when they have shown no disappointment in all the other leftist moves the Governor has taken, in fact, giving him support throughout much of it.

Given that the same big donors that support Schwarzenegger also are the dominant funders of the CA GOP, do you think advising them of our discontent will do any good? I don't have the money to buy an ear.

The CAGOP would have to revoke it's premature endorsement before we could ever have any kind of legitimate Primary Election!!!

And that's exactly what I think they should do if he doesn't recant this violation of partisan public trust!!!

There is NOTHING on Earth wrong, incorrect, or unsavory about political partisanship!!!

They should judge the governor on how he governs, and that's all that matters."

One of the most significant elements in how a person governs is the appointments they make.

I think Miss Bebitch Jeffe is right.

If she is, that would be a first.

"independents, RINO's and DINO's, you have an electoral majority."

My goodness! What a perfect formula for pussey thinking!!! (groan... gag... barf...)

Tell me now... Precisely how many of the above described "independents, RINO's and DINO's have ever gone down in history as ever accomplishing ANYTHING meaningful to anyone in this nation? Name ONE!!! (And if you say Earl Warren, I'm gonna puke!)

[calcowgirl]

If we promise to primary him, I think he'll start to listen.

Oh, please. A couple days ago, you were saying:

If his referendums passed, he wouldn't be doing this.

There is absolutely no indication (none, zippo, nada!) that he has any intention of supporting the Republican platform or the platform that he ran on. He has taken leftward step after leftward step. Go back to the list again and ask yourself, if they weren't promoted by a celebrity, were these good moves for Republicans or Conservatives?

[Wolfstar]

Perot would have won the '92 election with as little as 39% of the vote

Would have won? Too bad you didn't qualify your statement with "in my opinion," because there is absolutely no way you could know such a thing for certain. There is no evidence to demonstrate your assertion is factual. It is merely hypothetical.

I've been reading her stuff for quite a number of years. I've seen her be right a number of times. I've seen her be wrong, too.

Well to be fair Gray Davis didn't commute a single death sentence. Unlike it seems the current moron.

[Alia]

Your comments are duly noted, Mr. SierraWASP.

[Alia]

Don't have a cow, man.

[SierraWasp]

You're right! Even Governor Moonbeam had enough sense to make Gray Davis his COS to prep him for a magnificent run as CA's goofiest Gubernor with Arnold subsequently out-doing Davis at dubiousness at every turn!!!

We are truly headed in entirely the wrong direction in Governorship in CA!!!

Schwarzenegger hasn't shown any desire to allow the CA GOP to benefit from any of his coattails. He didn't campaign for anyone in 2004 (except for liberal Steve Poisner), he didn't even announce his 2006 candidacy from the GOP convention.

Schwarzenegger may call himself a Republican, but he has acted in a nearly hostile manner toward both the CAGOP and national GOP, toward President Bush, and -- as you point out -- toward candidates here in the state. He acts almost ashamed to be a Republican.

[Alia]

hehehee.. Yep. I wondered that myself...years ago. Suffice to say, it's pronounced exactly like you are thinkin'..
