I think the point these froth-at-the-mouth mclintites miss is we all support conservative values and candidates that represent them. The problem is...getting someone like that elected in far-left California is next to impossible. But you can't explain even the obvious to someone who refuses to listen.

Arnold is not a conservative, so why should a conservative vote for him? Just because he has an R after his name?

Tom has a clear, accurate, useful plan for california. He has true conservative priniciples. If all true conservatives got behind Tom, he'd have a chance. Instead, everyone's willing to elect a RINO. Arnold will be bad for california, and I dont want someone who is touted as a conservative or a republican (and who clearly isn't) ruining the reputation of conservatism. This is the time to stay true to the principles of conservatism, not to seek a false victory.

It's not my position to tell anyone who they should vote for or why. Obviously, you can vote for whoever you want. But to answer your question...

A conservative should vote for him to keep Bustamante from winning the election. But, again, it's your choice.

Rant all you'd like, 20 year old FR newbie. But it's not going to change the fact that Mcclintock, a far right conservative stands little chance of winning in far left California. My 30+ years involvment in California politics, and a firm grasp on reality tells me that.
