CA: Another Interview With Arnie Steinberg (Republican Strategist/Analyst)

OK, maybe I should have said, cry into their beer, wine, or brandy, while they are letting the Dems fully take over and destroy CA.

[NormsRevenge]

a weak apology, if that.

You have done little to prevent it as you support those who are also working from within the GOP to do the same as the dems, imo.

[SierraWasp]

"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?"

That's just about the whole danged dumb deal from the CAGOP so-called "leadership!" I'm getting to where I simply don't care who wins anymore cause it's little different between tax and squander, or borrow and squander!!!

I went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse tonight and celebrated the fact that I'm looking forward to a Conservative Republican sweep in 2010!!! I won't have to buy cases of Malox while either the dork or the dems create the strongest possible object lesson why CA cannot function without a return to Conservative Republican PRINCIPLES!!!

I went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse tonight ...

Now that makes my mouth water!

I hear ya! I did read some posts from you folks opposing the recall and they did make me think about it. I struggled with the voting choice but, at the time, didn't have your vision. Looking back, it's clear as mud.

Well, it's a little easier for me to see. I think it's easier to see things from a distance. I lived in CA for about 20 years but now happily reside in flyover country. I left in the middle of Gray Davis and the dems trashing a once great state by turning it finances over to the public employee unions and its social policy over to the hard left.

The problem in CA is really so simple--between 55 and 60% of voting Californians think their current democrat legislator is a good legislator. Until that changes, there is no hope for reform. The only way that will change is for things to get a lot worse and for the blame for the mess to be clearly attributable to the dems. Only in that way will the people be ready to make a political earthquake and throw dems out of gerrymandered districts--the way we did nationally in 1994.

But having Arnold in there has let the LAT and the Chronicle blame the Republicans and diffuse the blame, forestalling the day when the earthquake arrives.
