May I respectfully say that I doubt you will change anyone's mind. People make up their political opinions based on news and their personal experiences, combined with political philosophies developed over decades. A board such as this will not change any die-hard's opinion, and if they take the effort to post, their ideas are probably pretty solid.

Perhaps you have genuine frustration, but venting it on Arnold supporters will do you no good, and may do some harm by alienating the very people you are trying to convince. I know I respond better to thoughtful people who make their own position know, comment about some news or theme, and then leave me alone to make up my own mind.

And there is no reason to turn every post into a campaign speech, we know how the McClintock supporters feel, that is not something that is hidden here.

As you are new, I am just giving you some pointers from over the years, do not mean to lecture or talk down or whatever. You are under attack, some of these thoughts may help.
