Should Schwarzenegger quit?

The Washington Times ^ | August 28, 2003 | Op-Ed

[TERMINATTOR]

Not really. Nor do we think Republicans Tom McClintock and Peter Ueberroth should get out of the race. At least not yet.

Well, maybe Mr. Ueberroth should. His blandness and lack of energy will not do.

The Democrats already have their Gray candidate. What's more, Mr. Ueberroth doesn't seem to be much more specific than Arnold Schwarzenegger, the frontrunner among Republicans currently in the race. But, then again, Mr. Ueberroth's nonpartisan pitch overrides his token Republicanism. For example, he's the only Republican in the race to oppose Proposition 187, the 1994 initiative barring state benefits to illegal aliens. Does this country-club Republican think he'll get Latino voters away from Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante? Indeed, in this crazy election, Mr. Ueberroth could end up with more Democrats and independent voters than Republicans.

Exactly, you have to go back to 1994 for 2nd tier political offices for a statewide conservative win and even further back for the big offices like Senator and Governor.

I am also on the search for a transcript of his statements

There is a transcript of his statements on the Smoking Gun wed site.

Yes, everyone should...

Well, if everyone should vote for McClintock, as you agree, then that includes you

...but not enough will. Deal with it.

I will vote for McClintock, and I will encourage others to do the same.

Do what you should do and then "deal with it."

Since you say everyone should vote for him, but you won't, then it follows from your own words that you will be doing what you should not do by voting for Ahhnuld. Deal with it.

RINOOOOOOOOO ALERRRRRRRT. Yaaaaaaaaawn.

[P.O.E.]

We have the same problem here in Pennsy.

I'd love to see Toomey elected, but come the general election, if Toomey isn't in the race, I'll have to vote for Spectre (ptooey!)

[Sir Percy Hot Spurs]

Arnold is the Perot of 2004...The Demirats are using the same tactics as before...The giva-a-way is the media frenzy in favor of Arnold... He is a lefty, believe me...Sir Percy Hot Spurs

[68 grunt]

To dim to deal with reality, huh?

[68 grunt]

God, another genius. The dims did not attack perot, they encouraged him. Who are the dims (you included) attacking now? Jeeez.

[clamper1797]

AAArnold should pull out. He turning a very serious recall attempt into a circus event. If he really cared about our state he would pull out

[DoughtyOne]

It's the sad truth, but it is none the less the truth.

Good luck to you.

On the contrary, a vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamente.

This is not Florida and Republicans are not stupid.

A vote for McClintock is a vote for McClintock.

[CyberCowboy777]

Is McClintock a closet Bustamente supporter ?

I am pretty sure he is not. But then you knew that.... Maybe you just don't want a debate?

OR MAYBE your a closet Hitler supporter and just want to kill Christians? < /sarcasm >

Grow up.

[CyberCowboy777]

After he's elected I hope you don't bring your whiny, scared point of view here.

Why would he? You said he was a Cruz supporter. Obviously he joined FreeRepublic on Sep 20, 1998 just to fain support for Tom so as to split the vote and get Cruz in office.

[finnman69]

A vote for McClintock is a vote for McClintock.

Which means Bustamente needs one less vote to win.

[finnman69]

is that all or do you have something intelligent to addI

[CyberCowboy777]

You are so right. Tom is a plant and all he wants is for Cruz to win (as do his supporters.)

What a bunch of losers and idiots and Evil fools. I hate them and we should mock and disparage them. They are worse than Liberals and anything we would do to a Liberal we should do worse to these Evil Conservatives (right wing whacko and Nazi lovers). < /sarcasm >

It's all the same ballot moron.

[CyberCowboy777]

Kool aid, anyone?

No kidding. These idiot (that we worked with in the past) are nothing but a bunch of cultist. Stupid Jim Jones types. I can't believe they are allowed to vote, we all know they can't think and are just mind numb zombies. Stupid evil McClintock supporters - lets kick them off FR!

As you pointed out, conservatives did not win the Senate seats or the Governor's race in these elections. Who's the moron?
