Good point bump
I have considered your words and reject them. I am very tired of the x-tremist wing of the party losing elections for us. Perhaps you should take your principled 8% and form the principled party. The 92% of us remaining would acquire many more than your 8% by bringing back those that you have alienated.
Keep supporting bustamecha and it will be half a kilo of tortillas.
Go Arnold
I guess this is why you can't find a candidate who can beat a hated 'rat like Davis. You guys in CA have managed to purge yourselves of RINOs so well, that you will always be an out of power minority party. And you're actually proud of the fact that you keep electing more and more liberal 'rats. Pardon me while I laugh at the CA Republicans...They deserve Davis, Bustamante, Fienstein, Boxer, and Pelosi.
Registered's last graphic was great! He's very gifted!
Vote Change - Vote Schwarzenegger
And you are a demogog who wouldn't know "truth" if hit hit you in the butt.
I didn't elect any Democrats to any office, and I'm not "proud" we have the corrupt folks running California government. The divided GOP in California was divided by the RINO's.
Hey.. who gathered the signatures for the recall? For every RINO in that trench, I can assure you there were 200 conservatives. Yeah, I know some Democrats and Independents helped, but it wasn't Arnie's Army that ran the show. If it was up to the RINO's, we'd be stuck with Davis for the rest of his term. The RINO GOP establishment in California went on record early in opposing the recall, including both Wilson and Riordan.
Now that the recall is a done-deal, who were the first one's to get their party splitting money-flush candidate into the willing media's arms. Geez.. it's Wilson-Riordan & Company. Arnold is their boy, brought in to hijack the recall election, and ensure that no one to the political right of Davis gets into the Governor's office to succeed him.
Same ol' crap, different election. RINO's like you blame conservative Republicans, who in fact do all the heavy lifting in CA. No historical record supports your demogogic version of events. But hey, at least all the lefty-Democrats agree with you. Should make ya proud!!

Perhaps you should take your imaginary friends, all 92% of them, and go join the RATS. You'll fit right in.
Likely you already did long ago, anyway.
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." -Barry Goldwater
You noticed that too, huh?
Just following their leader.
The Lefties will accept Schwarzenegger as one of them. The Lefties control California politics, and to get anywhere with government the Left will be involved. McClintock cannot do this successfully, since the Lefties dispise him.
It is too late to appoligize.
If it was up to the RINO's, we'd be stuck with Davis for the rest of his term.
If it was up to the RINOs you would have had Riordan in Nov of 2002 but instead you voted for Simon and got Davis again. You deserve Davis, Bustamante, Fienstein, Boxer, and Pelosi.

Well Duh. They were right. It's gonna cost a lot of money to keep Davis or elect Bustamante. If Davis doesn't get removed you get to re-imburse him for his campaign expenses. At best you will get a pro-abortion, pro-gay, gun-banning, RINO named Arnold as Governor.
Just like 2002 the "conservatives" in CA whine that Davis broke the rules, and Rnold broke the rules, and Rove broke the rules. They never get a clue and they keep thinking if they can just purge enough RINOs from the party then the liberals and centrist will finally be outnumbered.
As I wrote in post #179 - This was a lose lose situation from the start and Republicans should wake up to the fact that Davis and the rat party in CA are smarter politicians than any CA Republicans like Issa and Simon. The Republican party will succeed without CA, because it has too. The Stupid party is dead in CA.
McClintock is a Whig, by his beliefs. Limited, constitutional government, freedom of contract, and individual liberty restrained from license are the Whig basics. Big on industrialization, believed in "progress", moral, political, and religious as well as economic. Not "one man one vote" democrats, instead a property test for the franchise. John Stuart Mill and Adam Smith were Whigs, as were the fellows who suppressed the Highland Risings of 1715 and 1745. So was the Marquis of Lafayette, of Revolutionary War fame, later guillotined in France.
And that is the rub. The Whigs never evolved defences against the Left, and kept prattling on about limited government in the face of the Left's attacks. Lincoln attacked the Whigs, and installed a overpowering central government that ignored the constitution, and jailed thousands without habeas corpus. Wilson ratified the 16th amendment by fiat, as recent research shows that the 16th was never legally ratified, and installed the Federal Reserve Board. New Deal, Great Society, going off the gold standard in '73, then Carter and Clinton, and now big, big government "conservatives" in Washington. This is the world as it is, the Left has been winning steadily since about 1830. Read the Communist Manifesto. See how the program has come true in America. Whiggery has never been able to even slow this conquest down.
Jerry Pournelle says American Conservatives are Christian Whigs. He is right. Either Christ or Whiggery will have to go. I would rather loose Whiggery.
