Only those who were using McClintock as an excuse to try to divide conservatives, but in reality they wanted to get Bustamante, Angelides and the likes elected are the ones who don't support Arnold, because their real objective is not to advance the conservative agenda, but to advance the Dem takeover of CA.

I don't agree with that at all. I think they just didn't realize that electing a RINO is far better than allowing a lib to win.

Nobody can be that naive. Most are able to figure out that having a leftist Dem elected is a disaster for CA.

"Like other conservatives, Baugh hopes that a Schwarzenegger re-election this fall will give the state GOP what he calls “a bench,a conservative bench — Tom McClintock as lieutenant governor and Chuck Poochigian as attorney general.” Both candidates are strong conservatives across-the-board and rated better than even chances to emerge triumphant over far-left Democratic foes this November. "

I should have clarified my statement -- for a long time, I assumed that all those who claim to be conservatives, are honest and sincere in their views. And certainly there are a lot of them, those are the ones, who are able to recognize that you vote for the most conservative electable candidate, but you never, never help the Dems.

It took me a while, but I found that there is another "class" of people who claim to be conservatives, who not only help the Dems win, but even on propositions, gave preposterous reasons for voting WITH the Dems and unions to defeat conservative propositions, such as the spending limit, that real conservatives and Arnold pushed hard in the special election. Now how conservative is someone who does that???

And some expressed that they rather have the Dems win, even if it's the like of Bustamante or Angelides -- this after seeing what disaster they have been for CA. Again, how conservative is that?

Those people are NOT naive, they are indeed people who are using that excuse to try to confuse real conservatives -- as that article mentions, that I posted.
