Re your Post #138: Among the several arguments people have in support of their candidate (Arnold vs. Tom), this business of claiming not to see a difference between Schwarzenegger and Bustamante is the most specious. Cruz Bustamante is the mild-mannered, mainstream face of one of the most virulently racist, anti-American movements currntly bubbling on the fringes of political life in this country. Should he become the governor of this state, his victory will represent the entry into the mainstream of reconquista policies.
Whatever else Arnold Schwarzenegger is or is not, he most definitely is an American patriot who is sincere in his desire to give back to his adopted state and country. As a multi-millionaire many times over, whose movie career is still thriving, and whose businesses are also thriving, he doesn't need the governorship the way professional politicians do.
Anyone — and I do mean ANYONE — who fails to see the danger posed by Bustamante, and also fails to see the vast differences between him and Arnold, is either misinformed, stupid, or dishonest.
In any case, this running quarrel between those who support McClintock and those who support other right-of-center candidates is silly and non-productive. The real danger is Bustamante. If this recall — a foolish enterprise from its inception — results in him becoming governor of this state, this particular Republican/Conservative will NEVER forgive those hardliners on the right who made it possible.
