That's what the "he may be liberal, but at least he's better than Davis" crowd doesn't get -- no politician is wrong ALL the time. Arnold does what they want 20% of the time, so they claim he must be better than a RAT on the basis that a RAT would do what they want 20% of the time. Not true. Davis had his "good" days too. The old stopped clock is right twice a day rule. My Congresman did the "right" thing today when he voted against the bailout. That doesn't mean he's "better" than the Republican that didn't. Tomarrow he'll be back to his old Down-with-whitey, communist luvin' ways.
BTW, here's the breakdown of the California Republicans on the bailout:
Rohrabacher - ususally conservative, voted NO
Bilbray, often RINO except on immigration, voted NO
Doolittle, ususally conservative, voted NO
Gallegly, usually conservative, voted NO;
Hunter - stauch conservative, retiring, voted HELL NO
Issa, - strong conservative, voted NO
McCarthy - freshman congressman, voted NO
Nunes - usually conservative, voted NO
Royce - very srong conservative record, voted NO
Bono-Mack, moderate, up for-election, voted YES
Calvert, ususally conservative, voted YES
Campbell, establishment Republican, voted YES
Dreier, ususally conservative, voted YES
Herger, usually conservative, voted YES
Lewis - moderate conservative, same name as goofy comedian, voted YES
Lungren - establishment Republican, voted YES
McKeon - often conservative, voted YES
Miller - usually conservativd, voted YES
Radanovich - ususally consevative, voted YES
Now, how many of those CA Republicans voting "YES" are up for re-election? They're the ones we need to be calling and raising hell (while making sure the NO votes don't go wobbly)
Of the 10 “Yes” voters you note, I see at least 3 of what might be referred to as gravy-train Republicans.
Doesn’t surprise me a bit that they’d be on the wrong side. They know how to get rich.
“Dreier, ususally conservative, voted YES”
Since when I knew him 30m years ago he has gone from extremely conservative to RINO liberal!
I’m suprised that area still votes for him.
“Bono-Mack, moderate, up for-election, voted YES”
She used to be conservative but since marrying Mack has become increasingly liberal.
