Mark Steyn: The Gubernator?

The Sunday Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 08/10/03 | Mark Steyn

[happygrl]

Oh gosh, I hope he uses it in his campaign !

Pulling out the rug from under the opposition!

[onyx]

Or the Harry Browne is the right hand of God group?

Wow! This is the first I've heard of THAT group!

Seriously, these folks seem to enjoy a position of moral superiority based on losing, badly, but, by gosh, having "principle." How sad, really, sort of like political Munchhausen syndrome.

No arguement from me!

Sunday morning bump.

Good point:

It's the "slit-your-wrist-Keysters" who are more concerned with calling fellow FReepers RINOS than they are with defeating democRATS!

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

"It's certainly nuclear, if the Dems know where to look, and don't mind wounding a Kennedy in the collateral damage."

I don't doubt they know where to look, but I fear that loyalty to Kennedys will prevent an major expose' by the Dems... But do Arnold (and Maria) have the power to silence everyone? Who might there be with equal power, who would like to see Arnie squirm?...

WOW! Your post #47 is the most venomous, hate-filled drivel I've read in a very long time. You are a poster child for everything that the general public fears about people on the Right side of the political spectrum. I mean, your string of adjectives, alone, speaks volumes about the kind of person you are: corrupted, Godless, selfish, contemptuous, blockheaded, half-Nazi, pro-death...sheesh! With your invective, you write off the largest state in the nation — some 34 million souls. You are one scary individual.

I'll care what you think after you're done biting me.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"Hehe, wonderful! It feels really good that someone like Mark Steyn agrees with me."

It's getting more and more difficult to tell Democrats apart from the death-before-electability crowd, they both oppose the same candidates.

[Pokey78]

You have been added.

[headsonpikes]

Bumping your #140!

When it comes to electoral politics, seminar notes in political theory are next to useless.

'Useless' would be just wishing a majority of voters agreed with you on your core principles.

For one's Party to take the highest elected position in a state dominated by your opponents is a coup. To disdain this victory on the basis of true-believer pamphlet wisdom is beyond stupid - it reaches all the way to self-destruction.

The Dems must be defeated. Their fingers must be pried off the levers of government, at the State level as well as the Federal level.

Nothing else trumps this point for the next few years, imo.

[Hildy]

That's the new line! I LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to see the anti-Arnold crowd disagree with this article!

[headsonpikes]

OTOH, if very early on voters seem to be heeding McClintock, then it would be unwise to stifle a 'prairie fire'.

Frankly, it's probably too short a campaign for such a revolution in public sentiment.

Damn.

But Ahnold(R) is better than any Democrat.

[Hildy]

I agree with you on this one: He's definitely OUT OF THE LOOP in this White House and it is so aggravating to him.

[AAABEST]

Not true Kevin, we've agreed on quit a bit.

One thing we agree on also is that God is supreme and that we must live our lives according to Him.

Now because we're flawed humans we might disagree on how to go about such.

Coming: The Rise Of The "Arnold" Democrats

[AAABEST]

Actually, now that I think about it, we agree on quite a bit. No "gay" rights, the second amendment. I believe you came out against certain parts of the Patriot Act (to the astonishment of many).

I could probably go on.

Thanks, this should be good!

"When people professing to be anmong our political peergroup act in the same way, we are dumbfouded . "

Or maybe they really are LibDem shills.

One of them just declared:

"You're damn right I hate Bush. "

These are the people who are supporting Bustamente, under the guise of supporting the "conservative cause".


Newt as on FoxNews a few minutes ago. He praised Issa for doing the right thing and not entering the race, it was a hint to McClintock and Simon, who of course are not listening. Newt said that those two have no chance of winning, but if they keep attacking Arnold, they may weaken him enough to allow Bustamente to win.

Everyone with two braincells to rub together can see this.

[LibertarianInExile]

Huh?

[Dialup Llama]

>Okay, Arnold's not a Nazi. He was born in the Austrian town of Thal, but not until 1947, and thus was technically unable to join the Nazi Party no matter how much he may have wanted to. But he certainly has family ties to the Nazis. His wife's grandfather, Joe Kennedy, was one of America's most prominent Nazi sympathisers.

Touche Mark!

You either missed or chose to ignor the relevant part of my post: I mean anyone even a little in touch with political reality could see this recall effort had potential disaster written all over it. But noooo... Folks such as yourself, with visions of easily grabbed sugarplums dancing in your heads, could not — indeed still cannot — see disaster staring you right in the face in the person of Cruz Bustamante.

Personally, I'm appalled at what's happening. As I said, if this were a primary, I'd vote for McClintock. But it's not a primary. It's a free-for-all. Despite what the early polling shows, Bustamante has a better-than-even chance of becoming the next governor. The odds would be even better if Davis chooses to resign. Now maybe that's something you'd prefer to see, but I sure don't. What part of the following statement don't you understand?

Bustamante is a life-long party hack who is also a virulent anti-American Leftist who is on record as wanting to "return" California to Mexico. That's the type of person who's political career has just been given a monumental boost by this recall effort. If he becomes governor of California, he automatically becomes a serious power player on the national scene. Is that what you want?
