"I'm not confused. It was a joke--not posted to you, btw"
Since it was a joke, such as it was, at my expense, I claim the right to respond. You admit, as I have, that there is no conservative on the ballot. But, instead of offering a viable alternative all you fire breathers have done is piss and moan, call those of us who are willing to face the obvious and vote for the governor "Arnoldbots" (something a bit more original would be refreshing), repeat the governor's admitted failures ad nauseum, and play word games. I would ask what you plan to do on election day but, quite frankly, you've made me not care any more.

I would ask what you plan to do on election day but, quite frankly, you've made me not care any more. 1. The alternative is to have a Republican governor start acting like a Republican.
2. I didn't call anyone an "Arnoldbot" or anything else, and I didn't "piss and moan" and my posts hardly qualify as a "firebreather." I did correct your inaccurate posts and ask you about the lack of use of the Veto power, posts you avoided answering.
3. The Governor's actions are a real time consideration. There are hundreds of bills on Arnold's desk, all of which he has the power to veto. If he wanted Conservatives support, he could try by earning it--and zealously applying the use of the Veto. This is not "repeating admitted failures ad nauseum", it is more of a plea to the GOP and Arnold to acknowledge the GOP platform and start supporting it.
4. As to election day, I don't know what I will do other than strongly support the down-ticket candidates and strongly oppose the tax and bond measures (and support Proposition 90). As to the top of the ticket--I remain undecided as there is no good choice.
5. If you don't care, so be it. I happen to care deeply about this state that has been my family's home for a century.
