An Arnold or a Tom or a Richard is not going to change that reality one bit.

I disagree. The Governor of a given state can do a great deal. Abortion, gay marriage, etc. can be fought and progress might be made in these battles. I would urge conservatives not to be convinced by the argument that a Governor is totally powerless on social issues and thus we can accept a Governor who is tragically wrong on virtually every issue.

Schwarzepubbies are the west coast equivalent of the cheese-eating surrender monkey French. They cheerfully surrender, roll over, and die, because they not only believe but cheerfully accept the "reality" is that they are helpless to bring about any change.

I don't believe they want to bring about change. They're too lazy. Most of them haven't even bothered to familiarize themselves with the issues and the candidates' relative positions on those issues.

Thus they ensure a perfect fulfillment of their anti-Reagan defeatist philosophy.

I would rather die on my feet as the last free man standing firm against a tepid, cramped life of high-tax social liberal slavery than to meekly surrender to it.

the Governor of a given state can do a great deal. ... gay marriage ....

A sweeping new domestic-partner rights just passed the State Senate. How did Tommy vote? Hint: He did not vote at all.

Tommy is the guy you expect to do something about gay marriage? Whatever his talk on this issue, it is clear that he does not walk that talk.
