You are looking for any excuse and if there isn't one, you make them up, to bash Arnold, and HELP ANGELIDES.

Your message is all too obvious.

Conservatives aren't stupid, to swallow the propaganda of "let's get rid of Arnold, even if it gets us Angelides'.

NO REAL conservative falls for this.

Only the DICCs (Democrats In Conservatives Clothing)are spreading and pretending to buy this message, to try to con conservatives into staying home and making it easier for Angelides.

The DICCs have been and are continue to be unmasked.

The new 'Republicans vote on Wednesday' game (FR Mentioned) (article full text)

"Or my favorite: “I’m a Reagan Republican, but I’m fed up and voting for John Kerry.” (Because that is what Reagan Republicans would do, vote for John Kerry.) At this point, the host usually asks a couple of questions and it becomes painfully obvious that the supposed Reagan Republican has probably never voted for anyone left of Michael Dukakis.

The intentions are clear: the caller hopes to make it appear as though there is already a large uprising of conservatives who are rebelling against GOP candidates, and thus, wishes to incite other Republicans to pick up the same attitude and pass it along, leading to the Democrat becoming more competitive. The successes of such a strategy on voting habits are unclear, especially given that the conservative radio host often refutes the caller’s talking points.

But the pretend-conservative act is being carried onto a whole new playing field, one that has become wildly influential over the past few years and one that does not stand to be instantly recognized as a fake. That playing field is the blogosphere, which is then used in conjunction with massive e-mailings to “spread the word” (as one e-mailer insisted I do to my readers/e-mail list) to other conservatives.

The concept is the same: the blog or e-mail claims, first, that the said writer has been a conservative for years and that they have “had it with Republicans.” They then point to an issue that conservatives would likely be upset about such as excessive spending, immigration, or the expansion of government. Their supposed rage over the issue has convinced them to either not show up to vote in 2006, or, in order to really show Republicans, vote for the Democrat instead. "

Liar. I didn't have to make anything up. I found evidence that exactly supported what I said and provided a source. In response you put up your characteristic smokescreen and hurl baseless attacks.

Arnold is already using his power within the party to withdraw resources from down ticket candidates. Best you tell your minders that he'd better not do it again.
