I have already endured, as have all other CA conservatives, the "Total Recall" that installed the "Terminator" that fooled even many good CA FReepers into thinking he was a conservative. His speech to the 2004 Republican convention sold this "bill of goods" to the entire nation!!!

The end result of such a faux CONservative is that he was more destructive to the conservative movement here that even Gray Davis which, of course has now led Californians into giving Gray's old boss, "Governor Moonbeam" into the governorship once more.

Furthermore, Arnold allowed another faux conservative, Pete Wilson to advise him far too often in far to many issues and that just made matters worse than if we'd had a commie-crat Governer that could have motivated what legislators we had into stopping the commie-crat like we did Gray Davis on the Sierra-Nevada CONservancy that Gray even vetoed 2 or 3 times!!!

I had dreamed of the day we could recall "Dim Bulb Davis" and replace him with an honest-to-goodness conservative with winning ways that would lead to a conservative renisance in CA like we had between Pat Brown and Jerry Brown... Ronald Reagan.

Tom McClintock would have been such a man but all the amateur king makers even here on FR let Arnold seduce them into thinking that Tom couldn't win the election. They created an obvious "self-fulfilling prophecy" and the rest is now a devastating liberal history for the tarnished "Golden State!!!"

Now all we're left with here are "lamentations" in a public policy leach field!!!

A lamentable ping!!!

McClintock would have lost in a landslide anyway.

Just like Mitt Romney. Be prepared for a full Democrat takeover in 2016 if Romney wins.

Just like Mitt Romney. With him as President, the Republicans will pass whatever liberal policy he wants. If Obama proposed the same thing, they'd block it. Just imagine how many Republicans would have voted for Obamacare if the same bill had been called Romneycare 2.0 and offered by Romney.

Just like Mitt Romney. He was the "inevitable" one while the others were "unelectable." According to Karl Rove and his ilk.

Those who do not learn from devastating liberal history are doomed to repeat it.
