Right on. These hard-liners will consistently shoot themselves in the foot...and I hope they will, therefore, get used to the State government in the total control of the Democrats for the forseeable future.

The zealots on both sides of the aisle are destined for the dustbin. Just look at Gingrich !! We never seem to learn from our all too avoidable mistakes.

Just look at Gingrich !!

You mean Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich? And how many years was Mr. RINO, Bob Michel, Speaker?

Last time I checked the US House of Representatives is still GOP ever since the 1994 election despite all he defeatist hemming and hawing about how they had better moderate because the US is just tooooooo liberal to elect a GOP Congress.

Seeing CA is just about washed it's hands (and feet) of Davis, there is a very real chance to replace him with someone more revolting - Bustamante.

Although I'm an Objectivist, I wouldn't vote for Leonard Peikoff if he were running for gov of CA. Why? Simple - any vote other than for Arnold supports Cruz.

Ayn Rand said you can indeed vote for the lesser of two evils.

Tom doesn't stand a snowball's chance. If you've got to find a principled stand on something, find a better effort than one that will lead to Bustamante. Join a think tank. Write exposes on CA government waste. Protest a Hollywood elitist. Whatever. Just don't contribute to the Cruz effots - please!
