We were, once upon a time, before y'al
I am sorry if I have been rude to you or others.
Typical, smarmy, conditional "apology" of the sort profferred by professional politicians.
I have interviewed State Sen. McClintock five times on my radio show.
Whoop-de-do.
Through those experiences, I have found him to be one of the most gracious, principled and courageous people I have ever seen in politics.
Uh-huh. And you no doubt throw softballs at him, right?
From the moment I came on the website for the recall, I have seen venomous, toxic and poisonous comments about Tom.
Which were inspired by the venomous comments made about Arnold's supporters on this site.
Has that been the case or not?
Your side started this fight. Now you're whining about getting a fat lip.
Now, we'll see if you are an honest person?
More honest than you are, from what I've seen.
I will not stand by and let an honorable person be libeled and slandered and insulted.
McClintock takes money from tribal gaming interests that have endorsed Bustamante, and he's unwilling to attack Bustamante.
I don't find this to be a coincidence.
Maybe that's "principled" to you, and to Mr. McClintock. But I view it as a conflict of interest.
From the start, it seems to me that Mr. Schwarzenegger has run a campaign designed to drive people out of the race, take as few positions as possible, decline to debate and act like he deserved a coronation rather than a campaign.
Rule One: Front-runners decline debates.
Rule Two: Reagan's Eleventh Commandment ("Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican in a general election") is important. Schwarzenegger has kept that commandment; McClintock has not.
With or without your vote, the momentum is shifting...
Only in polls conducted by an extremely partisan left-wing newspaper. Since when was ANYTHING printed in the LA Times (aka "The Aztlan Daily Worker") taken as gospel fact by true conservatives? Anyone who takes the LA Times as gospel has no business whatso-frickin'-ever calling ANYONE else a frickin' RINO.
and again for any rudeness, I am sorry.
Try issuing a real, unconditional apology.
I have seen little in the way of apologies or responsibility for disgusting actions -- like calling a horse's behind for McClintock.
As long as you keep issuing the smarmy phony apologies, you're not going to get any real ones.
And then there's your repeated tale about his allegedly groping Linda Hamilton that you enjoy repeating. Never mind that Ms. Hamilton has stated flat-out that it never happened--you just keep repeating the story over and over.
So I'm not in an apologizing mood--you haven't earned one.
You've gone out of your way to leave scorched earth behind you, you scorn 80% of the California GOP as "RINOs" and worse, and then you demand their absolute fealty to your position.
Let's put it this way: after all of those insults, pray tell why we should bother supporting your guy if Arnold does drop out?
But we will. You won't reciprocate the courtesy, however.
We'll cheerfully vote for the leading Republican candidate, whoever that is, but you won't unless it's YOUR chosen one.
And y'all pull this crap EVERY DAMN ELECTION...
...and then you have the utter gall to call US the "RINOs" and blame US for your inability to win.
I have fought for what I believe to right and I make no apology for that.
Mr. Wampler, you have a habit of saying on FR things that I would advise folks not to say in person unless they're holding a gun on the guy they're talking to.
I truly hope Arnold doesn't win... for the sake of California.
It's either Arnold or Cruz. Which one of the two is better for California?
