Apology accepted.
Not being a Californian, I didn’t get to vote. I was not happy with Arnold on the social issues, but shared the fear that a vote for McClintock might throw the election to the Democrat.
Actually, I would have preferred Bill Simon. He would have won earlier, if Bush and Rove hadn’t stabbed him in the back. Then none of this nonsense would ever have arisen in the first place.
I hope Rove is satisfied with the mess he made in California. It seems doubtful that a Republican will ever win there again.

I voted for McClintock, but you are forgiven my child.
You’re not the first to apologize, but thanks for doing so.
Many of the same aRINOld crew went on to support tootyfruityrudy and other RINOs and denigrated Hunter supporters. Free Republic has been infiltrated and overcome by RINOs. Any day now I expect the first page to be modified, where it says “ Free Republic is not affiliated with any political party, group, news source, government agency or anyone else. “ It will say “ Free Republic is not affiliated with any news source or government agency. “
McClintock on paper is good, but he could not have won. It was really a contest between Arnold and Gray Davis.
I think most of them are hiding in shame these days. :-)
Apology accepted.
Now, R U Ready 4 Another Recall? BIG SMILE
Semper Fi,

Bustamante would never had won. The GOP were more interested in having a (R) in the capitol than a real republican. Mcclintook would have been what the state needed. Don’t vote out of fear. Rinonator has been pretty bad. Hopefully in the next state election there will be a good one to vote for.
PING!
McClintock Ping List.
Please freepmail me if you want on or off this list
I forgot to ping you. :)
I was living in Florida in 2003.
FairOpinion, is that you?
Nicely done.
Thank you for this acknowledgment.
5 years later, it just doesn’t feel very good to say to you folks, “I told you so.” RINOs never get you anything in the end except heartache and disaster, all attached to (and blamed on) the Republican label. The Democrats get not only their agenda enacted by the “supposed” opposition, they get to reap all the benefits at the next election by winning said offices.
Have I mentioned that I’m hugely disappointed in Schwarzenegger?
You’re forgiven. I realized at the time that there were so many people like you that McClintock could never get the nomination. So, I moved to Nevada where I figured (correctly) that I would enjoy more freedom and lower taxes.
I follow California news off and on, and I can see that things have only gotten much, much worse there in the 5+ years since I left. When I visit, I’m careful to avoid discussions involving politics, religion, foreign affairs, the environment, second amendment rights and patriotism in general. This works fine, and the thought police have left me alone so far. I always breathe a sigh of relief when I cross that line back into a free state, however.
I’ll pray for you (Nevada does not punish religious practice, either).
I voted for McClintock.
I am a McClintock fan but I felt the defeat of Davis was vital and McClintock didn’t stand a chance. Until we rid California of the nutcases in Sacramento there isn’t much we can do. California deserves the government it votes in over and over and over. California is doomed. It’s too late to fix anything. It’ll be destroyed completely very soon with the government we put in charge here.
