People like De Leon got elected because people like you supported a RINO like Schwarzeneger when they had the chance to support Tom McClintock. When the RINO implemented policies that manufactured more liberals, many conservatives fled the State leaving it firmly under the control of the very people you feared.
As I recall, even the proprietor of this forum urged all California members to vote for Schwarzenegger as it was our only chance of defeating Bustamante.
McClintock was a better man but he stood little chance of winning the race. Only an idiot wouldn't recognize that. But there was/is no shortage of them as you have proven yet again today.
