Poohbah isn't a liberal.

A lot of people here just want to deal in political realities. They'd rather get some of what they want than none of it.

That doesn't make them "liberal".

McClintock voters are essentially helping the Democrat win. That doesn't make them "liberal", either...but they're doing plenty to advance liberal policies. (More than Schwarzenegger voters, when you think about it.)

"lot of people here just want to deal in political realities. They'd rather get some of what they want than none of it."

So, are you saying that in order to get "crumbs" that we are to continue the vicious cycle of electing and re-electing the same pretenders over and over? They never change and they always run as conservatives rather than what they really are, which is to say, liberals.

If we continue to do that, these pretenders will slowly achieve the same ends as the democrats albeit at a slower pace and before you know it, something like the "patriot" act pops up from a "conservative" President, Senate and House. Perhaps we don't have to worry about it now, but, consider the clinton types with this under their command in the future. And don't forget the CFR, the obscene New spending spree, Ted Kennedy's "education" bill being adopted, 60,000+ new employees on the taxpayer's backs. (another democrat policy being adopted).

Why am I bringing the National scenario into the equation?
Because it's all part and parcel of the same "one slice at a time" philosophy of these conservative pretenders we elect.
