A package of five proposed Republican resolutions critical of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, including one that calls for the GOP to withdraw its election endorsement of California’s top Republican, were unveiled today and will be considered when the the state party convenes in two weeks.
The call to withdraw the GOP’s endorsement is considered unlikely to succeed, and the four policy proposals would be non-binding.

The Dems will be rolling on the floor laughing and the base, seeing the division will stay home, proudly letting the Dems win, to the detriment of the Republican candidate and the state, feeling all so righteous all the way.
They should listen to Tom McClintock. Here are excerpts from his letter:
"...when I hear rumors that some delegates are planning to use the upcoming Republican Party convention to attack the Governor and his proposals, all I can do is shake my head.
Like many of us, I too have disagreements with some of the Governor's proposals. These differences, however, do not justify the abandonment of our party's responsibility to work tirelessly to reelect this Republican governor and to elect our GOP candidates to statewide and legislative offices.
For this reason, I view any effort to attack Governor Schwarzenegger as an attack on my own candidacy and those of every Republican seeking partisan office in 2006.
That's why I strongly urge the party to take the following advice for our February convention:
1. Our party has endorsed this governor for re-election. While I am not in favor of pre-primary endorsements for any partisan race, once the endorsement is given, it must not be rescinded. Let's leave this issue alone.
2. Put aside the plans that would cause strife and division among our party and instead focus on those things that unite our party and divide the Democrats.
3. Focus every minute of every hour at this convention on planning to recruit, train and deploy a vast grass roots army that will successfully impact our election results in November.
There is much to do, and precious few months in which to do it. Let us not waste the little time that we have.
Please join me in calling for a productive, united convention that will lead to the Governor's re-election as well as the election of our statewide ticket of talented Republican leaders. And join me by rejecting any misguided effort to divide us by rescinding the party's endorsement of our Governor."
Feeling a little bitter this evening, eh?
Just trying to inject some sanity.
I am in good company, with Tom McClintock.
Whose company are you in? That of Angelides?
Man, you are grouchy! Pick a fight with somebody else.
GOOD to see McC is a voice of reason.
Arnold campaigned for him too and I think he realizes that "united we stand, divided we fall".
It's not a matter of being grouchy.
(Explaining patiently....)
There are two choices: Arnold or the Democrat.
If you are against Arnold then by default you are FOR the Democrat.
The movement against Arnold is insane. Why roll over for democrats?
Aw, why start now ?
Hard to believe you're in the same company as McClintock.
"McClintock -- his only chance as Lt. Gov is to ride Arnold's coattails, otherwise his chances are ZERO."

Easy to believe McClintock means nothing to you.
You and Hillary and your files.
Oh, yeah. Hillary and google, lol.
If folks don't want it to come back at them,
perhaps they shouldn't post such ridiculous comments.
You mean, like Queen Mightytrite?
I have no idea what you mean by that.
