"I really don't even like Schwarzenegger," said convention chairman Peggy Mew of Los Angeles County. "I mean, what do we really know about him? He's pro-abortion, for gay adoption and gun control, and said he was 'ashamed' of his party's role in the Clinton impeachment. No, I could never vote for him."
Replacing Davis with Schwarzenegger is similar to: replacing Bill with Hillary, Lenin with Stalin, or Daschle with Pelosi.
Good to see a reversal in the F.R. Poll.
GOP will quit allowing/INVITING democrats to run in elections as republicans
At least they chose Schwarzenegger to act the part.
And let us not fool ourselves into thinking that Bustamante will be so horrible he'll be kicked out in a couple years and a conservative will be elected in his place. Does one really think liberal Californians (with the help of inept republicans) will vote that way? I'll believe it when it happens; until then just seems like wishful thinking.
This is no different than an invite coming from the NAACP, as though a candidate would somehow gain favor through attendance. It is pure bullcrap.
You dopes are going to cause the Republicans to lose another winnable election through this kind of crap. The only Republican who is going to win California is Arnold. If you dont get behind him, you are only helping Grey Davis again.
Agreed!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a self professed social liberal. He says he's a fiscal conservative, however, he hasn't proven it yet. Schwarzenegger will have to make a considerable effort to convince conservatives he supports the twin pillars of fiscal conservatism, cutting taxes and reducing government spending.
Arnold says, he wants to get California out of the red, so the states social welfare entitlement programs will run more effectively and efficiently. That's high minded liberalism.
Arnold also says, he wants to bring businesses back into California, so tax revenues will increase and the states social welfare programs will have proper funding to operate. More high minded liberalism.
So far, Arnold's efforts have fallen flat.
Well, at least you've been good enough to show your true colors as someone who despises and belittles conservatives. Are you a former Pete Wilson staffer by any chance - - - or maybe you're Pete himself?
You two need to head back to the circus. You're nothing but clowns.
There's the key. How many new calls do you think McClintock brought in?
McClintock - 53%
Simon - 5%
Schwarzenegger - 36%
Other - 3%
F.R. Poll
Naw, Arnold is just a pukin dog scardy cat.
I don't smell coffee. I smell a liberal! Schwarzengger isn't a conservative and there's no evidence so far, that he would be any better then Boy Davis, or the Cruzzer. LOL
If Arnold comes out with an agenda that takes the course of fiscal conservatism, then he may be able to secure enough conservative votes to win the recall election. Otherwise, let the Democrats have the state for another three years and screw it up even more. May be the people will finally get fed up and realize that the Democratic Party offers them nothing.
>>>A RINO is better than a demoncrat.
Take your blinders off. Arnold's a self professed social liberal and his desire to be accepted as a fiscal conservative is highly dubious.
What difference does it make then? Point to me one public statement Ahnold has made that shows he will push for/support anything different then Davis or Bustamante? Cite to the source please. Is it his support of abortion? Gun control? higher taxes - as honestly stated by Buffet? more spending (for the children)? What policy position of Ahnold's makes him different from Davis or Bustamante, and worth a vote because there is an "R" next to his name? Oh, wait, if we elect a republican, even one who opposes every republican principle or idea, we somehow still win!! I guess you have me there.
And we know, only Ahnold can win. It is impossible for anyone else to win. So we should support him. That way, its a republican who raises taxes, raises spending, issues more environmental regulations, more gun control laws, and passes more hate crimes and endorses gay adoption and marriage. But, its still a win. He has an "R" next to his name.
