A51 are these your lines?:

We get the government we deserve. Evidently some want a gun grabbing, abortion loving, socialist for govenor.

Qx: People often get the gov they deserve.

Seems to me, that instead of pushing for a vote for Arnold, they would be wanting Davis to remain. After all that is what he stands for.

Qx: PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me introduce you to a bi-polar construct you seem to be exceedingly ignorant of. It is the very useful one:

DIFFERENT/SAME

For example, you seem to EQUATE as IDENTICAL Grey Sewerwater Davis and Arnold.

Now, EQUATE and IDENTICAL belong on the side of SAME in terms of the above construct (DIFFERENT/SAME).

Now, I'm not remotely sure how you manage to get your shoes on the right feet in the morning given the difficulty you seem to be having with this construct of DIFFERENT/SAME. Your shoes may be both yours. In that they are similar--even the same in terms of ownership.

And, they are part of the same pair with the same style and color [one hopes].

But it must begin to give you fits when you confront the issue of left and right shoes. You must have a compulsive urge to equate them as identical until some toes start screaming that something is not fitting quite right.

Perhaps you have a twin brother. Perhaps he chose a SIMILAR pair of shoes. They are NOT THE SAME=IDENTICAL but they are the same style and brand but a different color.

Now, technically, you could each trade one shoe--assuming you are identical twins--and your toes might be quite happy. In a sense, it would be true to say, you are wearing shoes that are the same.

They are owned by the same family. They are the same brand. They are the same style. They are the same size. They are not the same color. That means they are a DIFFERENT color.

Evidently you think this sort of DIFFERENCE is the SAME sort of difference between Grey Sewerwater Davis and Arnold. You are entitled to your moot opinion on the matter--though it seems rather a sad exercise of whatever brain power you are devoting to it.

At one level, it's a moot distinction or lack of distinction; a moot discrimination or lack of discrimination.

I'd guess at least 1/3 up to 2/3rds of the people voting for Arnold will not have the slightest concerns about how DIFFERENT OR THE SAME ARNOLD IS ON ANY PHILOSOPHICAL/POLITICAL ISSUE.

THEY WILL BE QUITE DELIGHTED ENOUGH THAT HE IS

DIFFERENT

FROM THE POLITICAL MACHINE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SAME OLD POLITICAL GAMES AS USUAL.

THEY WILL BE QUITE DELIGHTED ENOUGH THAT HE HAS NO NEED OR INTEREST IN THE *******SAME******* SORT OF CONTRIBUTIONS OTHERS ARE COLLECTING FROM SPECIAL INTERESTS.

THEY WILL BE QUITE DELIGHTED ENOUGH THAT HE HAS *******DIFFERENT******* MONEY.

It may well be that Arnold will turn out to be some sort of evil stealth candidate from the globalist puppet masters. Though, I suspect, that even if he is set-up that way--HE WILL HAVE SOME SURPRISES IN STORE EVEN FOR THEM. I believe Arnold has not fallen at all that far from his rearing and whole train of life experiences.

His past skills and values about hard work, financial horse sense etc. are likely to stand tall in any administration he leads.

He has spent a lot of his adult life telling bad guys to go do pretzel things with short objects in dark holes. I suspect he has enjoyed such roles immensely. He's likely to continue doing so in grander ways with more seriously real and constructive outcomes than his movie personna has enjoyed on the screen.

In ANY CASE, IT IS ALL MOOT.

He will capture the hearts and certainly the imaginations of such a string of categories of the electorate that at some point, no one will touch him in percentages of the electorate devoted to him. Voting for him will be akin to attacking the ET mother ships in ID-4. It will push men and women's buttons, hoplessness/despair stuff bringing them for the first time in a long time hope that SOMETHING MIGHT REALLY CHANGE in Sacramento.

Maybe it won't. But the hope that it might will be more powerful a drug than heroine. The electorate is so cynnical and despairing--only Arnold can push those buttons.

It doesn't even really matter if he's white, black, from Mars, Venus or the local AA meeting. HE IS PERCEIVED as a potential savior bigger than life. That will be enough to gain tens of thousands, millions of votes.

It won't even matter if internally he's more devious and full of more globalist evil than Grey Sewerwater Davis or Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Sade. Masses of people are going to vote for him. The worst that can occur is some splitting of the Republican vote so much that CruzdeMexico gets in. But I suspect that Arnold could even win over the split vote and Cruz-full-of-beans.

Alas, I'm wasting my time probably.

If you really have a difficult time SIMILAR to that which BlackElk seems to have . . . then my poor words above will be more of the SAME to you--gibberish.

We shall see who is more right.
