Yeah, for about the first few months of his term. And I voted for him, the first time, at least. Ask people how they feel about the brand new Governor of Alabama.
"Then somebody at the TEA must of found pictures of him in bed with little boys or something, I don't know. He BECAME a RINO."
Actually, people that knew ole Scummie personally knew that there was something wrong with this cat from the get-go, but he didn't let on publicly until later. I knew it when he got into bed with the corrupt 'Rats here in Nashville, the same ones he apparently had been in bed with in Memphis. How fortunate we are in the case of Ah-nold that he's making it clear BEFORE he gets into office where he stands.
"He ran as a conservative, becasue TN is as conservative as Cali is liberal (pay attention now, son...) The ONLY way you can win in TN is running as an anti-liberal (like Lincoln Davis did)."
Nope, TN is not as "Conservative" as made out to be. It's actually close to the national model. As for Lincoln Davis, he won thanks to the gerrymandering by the 'Rat MINORITY in our legislature (of course, ole Donnie did nothing to stop it, and took great delight in an attempt to purge the GOP of yet another half-dozen+ seats in the State House). His phony posturing as a "Conservative" didn't take away from the fact that Gore himself was backing him to the hilt, and that he greatly outspent his GOP opponent.
"Arnold, on the other hand is NOT running as a conservative. That would be like Bredesen running as a Ted Kennedy liberal."
Ah, but Ah-nold is trying to appear like he IS one by snookering all of the "Conservative" rubes into endorsing him. As for those VERY intimately familiar with ole Pharoah Phil, we know he IS a Ted Kennedy liberal. He just the let the cat out of the bag with his lil Natalie Maines rant just the other day. And, of course, ole Phil began his career running for office in Taxachusetts. Some of us who know what he (and his wife) did to reach "the top" in this town, know the man is absolutely without any sense of ethics or morality whatsoever.
"You can only win in a state that tilts heavily to one side by running on that side or as a moderate!!!!"
Depends on one's definition of "moderate." I guess that means that Conservative Don Carcieri of RI wasn't able to win the Governorship in a liberal state. Or liberal Janet Napolitano in "Conservative" Arizona...
"Take Tennessee, turn it upside down, and understand why in Tennesse a RINO is a treachery, but in Cali, it's a vast improvement."
Apostasy is improvement ? No, sir. We got Bredesen because of Scumquist. Ah-nold will begat a 'Rat at the next regular election. That's how it is.
