Sadly, I would say that conservatives are out of the mainstream in California. In the densely populated regions (Bay Area and greater LA), the populace is full of "fruits, nuts, and flakes." I'm proud to say I'm nowhere near them in my political alignment.
I don't think anyone here has made an effort to solely bashing Arnold while ignoring the marxists' attempts to destroy our state. I just think that we all agree that the dims are off their rocker, and that it's important to point out those who (for some people who can't recognize a RINO unless someone yells it in their faces) are wolves in sheeps' clothing.
I'd be disappointed with those who stayed at home just to avoid voting for Arnold, but I voted for Arnie gritting my teeth and holding my nose. If someone didn't vote for him (or Poizner) but voted for the true conservatives (and any of the lesser-right folk), that's perfectly good as far as I see.
As for the comparison between Arnie and Angelides, that right there speaks volumes about the depths from which our state has to rise.
Oh yeah, I just wanted to add that I found Calcowgirl's posts during the campaign to be very useful and think she should be thanked for posting all of them.
If you want someone to ignore you then shout in their face. DICCs and the California ilk herd are the ones wearing the sheep's clothing.
