I can’t tell you how happy I was to read Jim Robinson’s post!! We had the same kind of debates when Schwarzenegger was running for gov. I am PROUD to say I supported McClintock all the way and tried to warn everyone about “Schwarzenkennedy” but Republicans were hungry for a win AND NOW JUST LOOK AT THIS MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know that MARIA SCHRIVER refuses to even live in the Gov’s mansion????? Not good enough for her and her kids. She runs the state from some compound in another part of the state.
Well, the gov mansion in CA is, for lack of a better term, third-world.
But nicer than my house.
I supported Tom McClintock too. The California recall election of 2003 is when Free Republic began slowing moving away from conservatism. I don't know why Jim let people spew all the crapola they kept posting, but Arnold Schwarzy`s candidacy was definitely the beginning of the revival of Rockefeller Republicanism. Now with the liberal RudyG sucking up all the oxygen in GOP political circles, the handwriting is on the wall. Its time to fight back against these liberal Republicans with everything we conservative can muster.
The most vocal supporters of Arnold, instead of admitting they were DEAD WRONG, are here providing the same lame counsel using the exact same rhetoric - 'never mind his positions, vote for Rudy, he's got broad appeal.'
