"Pay no attention to the imposter in #154!
Tom McClintock cannot win!
Arnold is the only social conservative in this race."

We can't all be as kind and principled as Arnold Schwarzenegger is.
Redifining the meanings of words and slamming Tom.
I don't have to "slam Tom." He does it to himself when his handlers run out of pizza and salad at a fundraiser where only 200 people showed up. He does it to himself when he can't even fill out a simple check box on a form that he has had 25 years of practice in filling out. He does it to himself when some of his more wacked-out followers call other Republicans in the race "Nazis," "Communists," and "rapists."

Putting words in another person's mouth is the act of a desperate debater who is losing.
At least that is conceivable! Its not like (R)nold is going to metamorphisize into a Social Conservative! LOL.
He might for you guys though if he would just utter that you would believe, as the saying goes, nothing is inconceivable when you don't have principles.
You have to read the fine print. You only get the free Chong when you buy a Cheech at the regular price.
Funny...very funny...LOL...

Then let's have a debate. Answer my question -
How do you intend to stop 'Arnold groupies' from posting here?
Unbelievable... ;-)
The law is morally unjust. Only a police state fascist would want a 65 year-old pothead tossed in the can for nearly a year over a bong.
"But stupidity is not enough. On the contrary, orthodoxy in the full sense demands a control over one's own mental processes as complete as that of a contortionist over his body. ...Society rests ultimately on the belief that [leadership] is omnipotent and that the Party is infallible. But since in reality [leadership] is not omnipotent and the Party is not infallible, there is a need for an unwearying, moment-to-moment flexibility in the treatment of facts. The key word here is blackwhite. ...Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction to the plain facts. Applied to a Party [agent], it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary...."

This article, and the (R)nold Groupies rationalizing for it on this thread, its sincerely a NEW LOW that I honestly never saw coming. I don't know if its based on Tom's numbers continuing steadly to climb as their only hope stagnates or the closeness of the election, but this is without question the stupidest thing I've ever seen fellow Republicans try to say in the name of Partisanship. Even he says he's a social liberal.
I see that Cruz Bustamante's memo got to you. You're using the new catchphrase.
Hope the check doesn't bounce.
How am I contradicting myself? There are some social conservatives that are supporting Arnold. I am not one of them. When you start floating trial balloons and defending articles on FR that Arnold is a social conservative, you lose a lot of credibility on this forum (you probably can see by the responses you and lipstick are getting). If you go on some Yahoo board you might be able to trick them but not here on FR. Comparing GW Bush and Arnold on social issues is like comparing the night vs. day. You are defending this article (Arnold is a social conservative) and puting Bush in the same light as Arnold on social issues. Comparing GW Bush and Arnold on social issues is like comparing the night vs. day. Nice try but your not convincing anyone on this board.
Which recent poll shows McClintock's numbers "steadily climbing?" Post a link please.
I've seen strawmen arguements in my day, but that is one of the worst ever.
Are you trying to be funny? I WANT (R)nold Groupies posting on this thread, please please please ping all your Groupies.
I adore this thread!
