"Maybe you can tell me how far conservatism was advanced under Bush I?"

Do you think it advanced further under Clinton's two terms?

"So don't tell me to just keep electing moderates and everything will be OK."

Put up one single candidate of your brand of conservatism that can be elected...just one.

That individual needs to "do the Reagan" and ignite the hoi polloi into voting for him.

"But I'm getting DARN close to saying to hell with 'moderates' & the consequences be damned.

Throwing in the towel?

That's so...French.

"And once enough people like me bail the GOP"

Don't, vote your integrity...just own up to the consequences.

[Pelham]

Ronald Reagan ran against incumbent President Gerald Ford in the 1976 GOP primary. Jimmy Carter went on to beat Gerald Ford in the general election. So, using Hugh's "logic", the Carter Presidency disasters are the fault of... Ronald Reagan.

Great post.

Buddy...
we have told you before but it bears repeating...
love your point of view.
nobody does it better.

thanks for the rational CLARITY...
Us "RINOS" get it... reality that is.

Sorry about the spill on aisle 13... time for the swifter, quicker picker upper... I feel a new screen name coming on...

heh heh...

Throwing in the towel?

IN the past five or six years... I have gotten a lot better at insulting than I was before... and sometimes... the insults are hilarious and spot on...

way to go luis... roflmao.

What would McClintock's supporters do if McClintock suddenly emerged as the front-runner? I expect that would be a sure sign to his followers that McClintock's really wasn't conservative enough, and they would immediately disavow him.

Whatever happens, the only constant is their constant complaining.

Next year, they'll be Hillary's secret weapon.

Como estas mi amigo...

WOW... you dropped a big one tonight John...
Nail, Hammer... spot on.

as always... but this one is on the target.

Your friend for YEARS now,

robert.

Bump

[JohnHuang2]

Buenas noches, hermano :-) Great to 'see' ya, my friend.

[Saundra Duffy]

What will the McClintock ledger show a decade hence?

Didn't Hugh try to shove Dick Riordin down our throats a while back? Get over it!! We're CONSERVATIVES. When Arnold called us, supporters of Prop 54 (racial privacy initiative), "right wing crazies", that was the last straw. If you guys want to kiss RINO butt (really democrat butt), have at it. But as for me, I'd much rather see Bustamante become governor than Schwarzenegger. Bustamante will UNITE Republicans; Schwarzenegger will DESTROY THE CA GOP.

[LisaAnne]

Funny... but maybe true.

[Pelham]

Bruce Hershchensohn supports McClintock. Let's see your opinion of him.

[Pelham]

Bruce Hershchensohn supports McClintock. When he appeared on Hewitt's show, one of Hugh's callers labelled him "Cruz Hershchensohn". No surprise really, since this sort of juvenile behavior is promoted by the show's host.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL !! Great !! ...

[EternalVigilance]

ROFLMAO - Yup, William nailed you down cold. Which whackjob do you plan to support wholeheartedly and absolutely, forsaking all others? Will it be Alan the Grifter? Will it be the sartorially and hygienically challenged Howard Phillips?

You, and Hugh Hewitt, and William Wallace continue to prove my point.

You all are doing a hackjob on conservatives, without regard to truth whatsoever.

In fact, I endorsed George W. Bush publically many months ago.

So shut up.

[Brian Allen]

Wifey [Looking over shoulder] says your's must also be a very loving -- and laughing -- wife!

[BibChr]

Sad, but true.

McTickTock is Bustamante's best friend and only hope. As are his enablers.

[skeeter]

Throwing in the towel?

Yeah, you're a real fighter.

Keep sliding to the left Luis. I'll stay right here, where I've been for the past quarter century.

[Beachcomber]

Hewitt is trying to scare Republicans.

Ask Hugh a simple question: If moderate Republicans govern so well, how come California is so socialistic?

Hugh: After 8 years of George Deukmejian (1983-1991) and then 8 years of Pete Wilson (1991-1999) as governors of California, the state is more socialistic than ever!

To put another moderate-Republican into Sacramento is folly! What could Arnold do in a few short years that Deukemejian and Wilson didn't already do?

No! We need a principled "stalwart" conservative-Republican to turn California's socialistic state around.

If moderate Republicans Deukmejian and Wilson (1983-1999) running the state have created the legacy of merely 4 years later (2003), it is absurd to think another moderate republican like Arnold will do any differently.

Hewitt is a contract employee of Salem Broadcasting. Hewitt sells Subarus and life-insurance, cruises with Shakespearian pedants, and other "commodities" to make a living. He is no different than any other "moderate" Republican who shills for gigantic corporate accounts.

He talks like a "frat-boy", and has "frat-boy" inside terms for his friends, a sign of a slow mind, dependent on "jargon" instead of wit or irony!

Hewitt is exactly what sickens the California GOP. He carries water for the "corporate socialist" establishment, and turns his wrath against genuine precinct-level grass root stalwart Republicans.

Arnold is a celebrity male-beauty pageant winner who married into the Kennedy clan. Some "Horatio Alger" mythology there!

McClintock is the real ***king thing!

I know a poseur when I see one. Both Arnold and Hewitt are poseurs. The former a "male beuty pageant" winner who calls it a team-sport; the later a "frat-boy" RINO who pretends to be an intellectual.

Hewitt is doing more damage to the Republic of California than he admits.

Put another "moderate Republican" in the governorship, and California will not reverse it's socialistic slide.

Deukmejian and Wilson did nothing lasting to keep California from sinking into the Socialist Sea! Arnold will do nothing lasting either!

Hewitt is a "hidden socialist" or else he would support McClintock!"hidden socialist".

Put some salt in your thinking, Hugh!

[Ohioan]

The Hewitt essay is an attack on McClintock and Pat Buchanan. There is nothing in it that could possibly be taken as an attack on Arnold.

Go back and read it--not that it is worth reading for any point other than to identify who it is trying to target.
