Sophistry and straw-man aside on the use of the word "perfect"

There's no sophistry intended, nor did I use a strawman. Some alleged "social conservatives" in this thread have demanded that their candidate be a "perfect" social conservative; all I am doing is asking them to produce one.

Ronald Reagan

1. He was divorced. Do social conservatives support divorce?

2. He's not running in this election.

Now, using that as a benchmark, just how does SchwarzenKennedy rate? How does he rate against MCClintock?

Who is "SchwarzenKennedy?" I know of no one with that name running in the California recall election.

I don't think anyone is demanding perfection from our conservative candidates. But is impossible for me, and apparently many others, to try to swallow as a conservative a candidate that is for abortion, against gun rights, for higher taxes, and against debating issues publicly. I don't demand perfection, let's just say that McClintock is closer to perfection (from a conservative policy standpoint) than your guy. You and Arnold may be willing to rationalize away those points as being the only way to ensure a Republican victory. To me, those points are more than just bargaining chips. They are core beliefs that I do not choose to waver from. I'm sorry you believe to the contrary.

When SchwarzenKennedy makes a policy statemnt on divorce, i'll comment on that position...but compared to flagrant and frequent philandering (makes him a TRUE Kennedy, btw...) a legal divorce seems to be a personal choice...and all you Arn-holes ARE for choice...right?

2. He's not running in this election.

No, but the closest to him IS...McClintock.

Who is "SchwarzenKennedy?" I know of no one with that name running in the California recall election.

Try harder...here maybe this quote will help..."And on Sunday, the LA Times reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., cousin of his wife and an environmental extremist, is Mr. Schwarzenegger's new point man on the politics of logging and global warming."

Care to debate ISSUES now?
