Why are you so against the Gpvernor's plan?
Ahhh... but why did they lose? Did their party support them or stab them in the back?
It's hard to win when the Quarterback is playin' for the other team.

Tom McClintock, the conservative state senator who was the nominee for controller, was also a victim of Parsky. McClintock, a popular conservative thinker and leader, led in all the polls and had the best chance of any Republican to win a statewide office. The RNC had sent Parsky $600,000 to help the down-ticket candidates. Even though McClintock was fighting for his life against a multimillionaire Democratic opponent who was pounding him on TV, Parsky passed him a paltry $100,000 and sent the remainder to moderate candidates with much-dimmer prospects of winning. It's worth noting that McClintock — easily the most-conservative member of the statewide ticket — received more votes than any other GOP statewide candidate, ultimately losing by only 22,000 votes out of almost 6.5 million cast.
Thanks, this continued delusional set of statements you and some others here utter endlessly only show that you have no love much less an interest in conservatism.
You are a pretender, much as your golden boy.
You bring nothing to the table when it comes to working to make California a better place , imo.
..and you do it at a forum that is conservative , not run as a LGBT forum, something which you never refute you are actually here supporting their agenda. for shame, FO, for shame. how wellstonian you have become, shrill like hill.. lol
Here are some questions for you:
The choice in November is Arnold or the Dem nominee.
Yes or NO?
If Arnold loses, who wins?
So if you want Arnold to lose, by default, whom are you helping to win?
"Oddly, the governor wants right-wing attacks, because he believes it makes him look more centrist.
Why are you so against the Gpvernor's plan?"

Good point! :)
That certainly sounds like a rational plan. He had a lot of press while at Colin Powell's side. I thought I'd read somewhere that Sundheim had resigned himself (and the party) to even trying to challenge Feinstein saying something like "he didn't want to waste the money."
Yes, then we would have Bustamante.

without Tom, you likely wouldn't have had enough support to make question 1 of the Recall go Yes and pass,,
then we would have had neither the Gub or Cruz, and kept Gray.
somehow, I don't think we would have had the additional debt.. even Rats know when their nests burning and will either flee or pee on it themselves to put it out.
what would that have done to your New Majorityites dreams and scheme to win in a coup?
What we would have had with Davis is massive tax increases.
play your little games, that's all you have to offer isn't it?
that and more debt ,, more borrowing, more hype, more threats.. and more haranguing conservatives as being the culprits, how predictable and how smarmy,, but we have come to expect that from you.
you're like a broken record. so you are susan kennedy, is that it?
is that your little secret. you seem to approve of her, you embrace the LGBT agenda as your own, how special you are.

Are you a fortuneteller, a seer too? LOL
you really should cut your losses, that is what conservatives are trying to do here, you know.
What I don't understand is why if California has good GOP Strategists why is it they are doing nothing to mount a solid campaign against Feinstein and why they ran a weak candidate against Boxer. McClintock (IMHO) could run a solid campaign against Feinstein.
So... I am responsible for promoting liberal judges, borrowing, spending, stemcell research ...
Wow! I had no idea! I did vocally oppose all of those things.
Steinberg:
Seriously, the Democrats are capable of conspicuous irrelevance. It’s just that the governor has become the Republican Gray Davis – more spending, more government, more deficits, political opportunism, and their shared obsession with raising money, and unnecessary wheeling and dealing that doesn’t pass the smell test. Just sloppy, mess stuff with campaign loans, muscle magazine deals, campaign money on the side to state employees and so forth. It’s all gratuitous. Overall, this governor is a political masochist whose wounds are largely self-inflicted.
And we haven't with the gang? Reinstating the VLF subsidy and then borrowing $15B to make up the shortfall and increasing spending with the rest. Raising total, per capita, tax burdens to the highest in the state's history. Raising the tax rate on those Californians attending the CCS, CSU and UC systems by over 30% in three years. Proposing another huge tax increase to subsidize an additional $68B in bonding.
Who's kidding whom. The Wilsonegger gang is today, out-taxing Davis by a long shot. The gang still holds the record for the single, largest, state, income tax, rate increase in US history.

That's a very good question. The only answer that is consistent with their actions, is that CA conservatives do NOT really want to win, they want to have Democrats dominate CA, so they can cry in their beer and post whiny posts on internet boards. Every time some people in the CAGOP want to nominate a Republican who can actually beat some of the Dems they run against, the so-called conservatives torpedo it, nominate someone who has no chance against their Dem opponent in the election.
No Republican can win in CA without the support of independents, who break 2 to 1 for Dems, and some Dems, with only 35% Republicans in the state.
CALIFORNIA VOTER AND PARTY PROFILES
http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/JTF_VoterProfilesJTF.pdf
"The Democratic Party currently has an advantage of 1.4 million voters over the Republican Party (7.1 million to 5.7 million) or 9 percentage points (43% to 34%), according to the Secretary of State.
Among those most likely to vote in this year’s elections, Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 7-point margin (44% to 37%), while 15 percent of likely voters are registered as independents.
... the fact that independents are more likely to lean toward Democrats than Republicans (42% to 28%) tends to work to the disadvantage of the GOP in statewide elections."
I have never been part of the "win at all costs" crowd. More than once I posted "Winning with Arnold is not Winning for the state, the people, or the party." That part I had right.
I hate to see California implode, but they are being run stupidly and it's bound to catch up sooner rather than later.
How else can one explain the party's continuous push to support a big-spending, big-borrowing, land-grabbing, pro-gun control, pro-GLBT, pro-abortion, pro-minimum wage liberal who promotes subsidizing taxpayers for the likes of stem-cell research, hydrogen highways, solar roofs, and global warming?

Take your snotty little posts and hit the road.
You want to insult folks, go to DU. They are much more deserving of your diatribes than conservatives at FR, which you obviously are not one of with that latest idiotic set of remarks.
The Moderates or at least that's what they pose themselves at here at FR and in california in general are mostly to blame, they support abortion, banning guns, pushing a gay agenda , all the while blasting conservatives and others who don't go along with their leftist agenda.
They call it growing the party or going the Big Tent route and then bitch openly here to no end when they are asked to explain what is republican , much less conservative in going down that path. so , of course, when they are called on thier deception and devious ways, they blame it all on conservatives that donlt get with it. Go figure.
Try and get them to actually debate issues or refute facts as to what they are really all about and they skulk away.
