What difference would it make to have Swartzeneggar or Bustamonte as California's Governor? S.B 777 and experience tells us not to vote for RINOs.
Perhaps the difference is in how long individuals are willing to keep compromising. As I see it, I didn't compromise in the last Presidential election as I think President Bush is a fine President. Of course he and I don't agree on everything and at the same time, I don't have access to all the information he has.
But, I won't compromise in the next election just as many Californian's didn't compromise in the last election for Governor. I'd rather make a stand than fall for anything. If it's G,R or M, I write my candidate in. I'm drawing a line in the sand.
A close relative (conservative) and I had a similar discussion before the last election. She was so angry at Republicans, and refused to vote...said she may do so again in the presidential election.
I understand the displeasure, but I think Reid and Pelosi, et al, have more than proven my point to her that things indeed can be worse when Dems have free reign. I think “we ain’t seen nuthin’” if Leftist Dems control the executive, legislative, and the judicial branch through their appointments. They have no conservatives in their party to hold them in check, and they would rather war with their political enemies than fight the enemies of this country, so they will pay little or no heed to our wishes.
It is obvious that my relative has not changed her mind about her stance in the last election, as she may chose to do the same again this time around. She is an intelligent, and politically aware, woman. I disagree with her, but I respect her right to make her own decision just as I do yours and others.
