Yeah, pity about the lack of votes from illegals. Of course, somehow a bunch of them WILL vote, probably be paid to vote and driven to a polling place, a la the November 2000 Bush/Gore mess.
But believe it or not, LOTS of immigrants who came here legally resent the heck out of those who broke the law and got here illegally. You really can't generalize about them at all. And by the way, there are many Legal immigrant Hispanics who are registered Republicans. I made enough calls on election day November 2000 to know THAT for a fact.

Appointing Pete Wilson to his "cabinet" sent a HUGE message to anyone who was in this state when Wilson was governor.
So HUGE, in fact, that by his very presence Wilson will cost Arnold a lot of votes from those disenfranchised/disgusted Dems and Independents who hated, absolutely HATED, Pete Wilson.
For the record, I thought Pete Wilson was a GREAT governor!
To: South40
How can you say that when the last person to touch it (Wilson) was run out of town with his political career in shambles? Wasn't Wilson term limited out?

Well, I agree with you, as usual ---- I've been calling the ultra ultra right wing "purists" but I think you're onto something. Let's hang that RINO label on the little group on the far right!
To: alwaysconservative
The biggest kick in the teeth is being called a "RINO" after voting Republican for decades AND, even grudgingly, voting for Simon in the last CA Gov. go-round. Now THAT was nasty, but a bunch of us did it and Simon STILL couldn't win!

Is your name Bill Clinton, by any chance????????????????
To: dcam
Yeah, guess I have no conscience -- I'm definitely pro-choice yet have voted Republican in every single election since turning 21 in 1972. Abortion was a non-issue back then, as it should be now.
To: alphadog
PhiKapMom doesn't "tell" anyone how to vote. She puts forth her views as do so many more here from OTHER STATES who happen to be on YOUR side, the FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR RIGHT side, who refuse to accept anyone not in lockstep with YOUR beliefs. Let's see you gripe about THAT.
To: niki
Wilson may have been term limited, but his support of Prop 187 eliminated his presential ambitions.

I'm backing McClintock; however, if I see Bustamante's poll numbers getting too high and McClintock's numbers getting too low, I'll switch to Arnold.
Still some time before the election. Arnold is really the only candidate that is getting the media attention. A debate between the main candidates could change the polls.

Don't you love how prop 187 was 'ruled unconstitutional'.The opposite is true.
To: PhiKapMom
Good point:inflexabiity equals failure.Ronald Reagan said that if he disagreed 2o percent of the time with a candidate, that means that there is 80 percent agreement.And that's sufficient in most or all cases.There's never been a successful candidate for Office that pleases everyone.
To: PhiKapMom
Think about it -- only one group threatens to sit home and not vote and actually did in 2000 which almost cost Bush the election -- the ultra right which includes the Keyes faction of the Republican Party! Seems to me they are the Republican in Name Only part of Republicans since they didn't vote for President Bush or stayed home. As Keyes said in 2000, he was going to sit back and say He Told Us So when President Bush lost in November. I don't call that a "real" Republican! Take me off your ping lists, please.
I never thought you would descend to falsehoods.
I'm very disappointed.
To: PhiKapMom
Even though I always knew you were more 'moderate' than myself, I always viewed you as a decent individual.
But you have now abandoned decency.
Those of us who refuse to EVER vote for a pro-abortion candidate take that position out of CONSCIENCE.
For you to now demonize and criticize and lie about and attempt to marginalize decent people who are acting out of CONSCIENCE, is DESPICABLE, and beneath contempt.
Your treatment of men and women of CONSCIENCE does far more damage to the party you love than a few lost votes for Arnold Scharzenegger could ever begin to do.

To: PhiKapMom
By the way, just to clarify what your lying slander is--it is that the Keyes people didn't support the President over Al Gore--that they sat home and didn't vote.
I met personally with Karl Rove at the 2000 convention, and began a relationship geared towards holding the right wing of the party solid--an effort that almost completely succeeded. In case you didn't notice, Pat Buchanan was not even able to garner 1% of the vote, thank God.
At that point in time, virtually ALL of the key Keyes leaders in ALL of the states had made it clear that they were supporting the GOP nominee. I can't think of ONE leader who didn't, and said they were staying home...not ONE!
Over one million Republicans voted for Alan Keyes in 2000. As his political director, I knew virtually all of his leaders. They worked their hearts out. They voted. They fought the PR war during the post election battle.
They, as a group, are some of the finest individuals I have ever known in my life.
I'm so mad because it is them you are smearing, unfairly, with falsehoods.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
To: AlbionGirl
Another lady on FR has repeatedly cautioned me about jumping to conclusions-but anyone about to be given access to such authority, over such a major segment of the American landscape, has to be held to very high standards.
I am sure the article was INTENDED to ring bells & perhaps slander the fellow. However, he should have thought before expressing such dumb remarks. His speech indicates some very bad thinking-clearly he will have trouble with this in future.
There are candidates without such a history &, perhaps, with far better experience for the task. Thanks for your kind response & consideration of this serious question. You see, I think we will all be Californians when the bill comes due. It will be very large indeed.
To: South40
But according to some of the more strident mcclintock supporters Arnold's a socialist.How can this be?
Only an idiot would call Arnold a "socialist," he's a tight-fisted fiscal conservative. Their argument against him is that he's socially permissive.
