Hover,

My PRIMARY concern is to make sure that a Republican wins this election. That's it. To that end I see McClintock as a potential spoiler. I hate spoilers, sorry.

Next up, I know that Bustamante is bigger threat than Davis I also know that he's a racist who refuses to renounce his affiliation with insurgent racist organizations like Mecha. I know that you know this too.

The problem is, is that you will be hard pressed to find anyone outside of conservative circles whom is aware of this. The problem is, is that this will continue to be the case all the way up to election day. The problem is, is that the elite media is trying as hard as they might to crucify Arnold while giving Bustamante a pass and hopefully edging a little known McClintock up against Bustamante.

They're playing the same damn game, that they did last time and I'll be damned if I don't see it coming. The more the media tries, the more Bustamante tries, the harder i'll fight to make sure that they don't get away with doing it all over again.

This is why it is imperative to vote McClintock. God knows how many more Illegal Alien voters will flock here if booztamonte or Arnold wins. Then, you can not only kiss Ca goodbye, but pretty much rest of the country as well.

The stand has to be made now.

Tempest,
I believe you are sincere in your motives, and I couldn't agree with them more. I wish I could believe that of some of the other Arnold boosters here.

The election isn't until OCT 7. I just want to make sure I'm not passing up a sure winner in Tom McClintock for a sure winner in Arnold.

People sometimes make the mistake of "fighting the last war." I don't want to do that. I want to make sure that the dems aren't putting a twist on the last election.

People here ask the question, "If Tom is un-electable, would you vote for Arnold?" Why don't they just ask, "If you can be CONVINCED Tom is un-electable, will you vote for Arnold?"

If dems find the answer is "Yes", and they can convince people that Tom is un-electable (when they know in fact that he IS electable), and get him out of the way BEFORE the election, they can put in Arnold, and defeat a conservative they knew could win. After all, they also know half a loaf is better than none.

I don't want to be manipulated just as you don't. I'm very suspect because the "Tom can't win" chant (aka: "2 legs bad, 4 legs good")began the day Arnold announced.

Was this chant started by dems because they knew in fact that Tom COULD win? After all, the nation has taken a decided turn right (all 3 branches are Republican)and even though CA would be the last to awaken, the Davis administration finally made it happen.

There was something very suspicious about the rush to get Tom out of the way before we even had a chance to compare Arnold and Tom. I know when I'm getting the bum's rush.

Guess I'm just being careful.
