To emtoional blowhards logic doesn't matter. In spite of these misguided fools the rest of us need to persuade those who will listen what is at stake. Schwartzenegger is the better choice in this election.
Had it ever occurred to you that we wouldn't be so "emotional" if RINOLD would have simply acted like a Republican? I mean, really....his recall campaign should have been more focused on fiscal conservatism. Yes, he could have made a few concessions to the Dims such as signing a hate-crimes bill or spending an extra $10 million on AIDS or something, considering it's California. I'm sure that most California conservatives wouldn't be too upset over that, knowing that taxes and regulations would be cut and businesses would remain.
We're not purists at all; however, Republicans simply need to realize that conservatism IS moderate, it is the middle of the road, it is centrist. That's all RINOLD had to do, create a broad, center-right message.
