But isn’t it better to institute some of your political principles, rather than none?

Absolutely I totally agree. That's why I am opposed to Liberal Arnold. That's why I'm opposed to Cruz Bustamante. They support none of my political principles. Tom McClintock supports some of my political principles. Better still, Tom supports most of them.

So my choice is most or none. I'll take the former thank you.

I'll tell ya why I'm a "Die Hard" for McClintock. A lot of it goes along with what you said, but in addition to that, just like my neighbor said to me just before my re-election day... "What's in it for me?"

I feel the same way now as when I held my nose and desperately tried to stifle the gag reflex and voted for Wilson. Both Mrs. Wasp and I decided right then and there that we were never gonna to THAT again. His terms that followed and the way he sold out everything we believe in was proof enough to us as a couple with NORMAL self-interest!!!

There was NOTHING in it for US!!! BOHICA, except that "fool me once... shame on you... fool me twice... SHAME ON ME!" I'm not goin there again and that's why I'm a fed-up "Die Hard!" If any of the Schwarzenegger Swooners can't grasp that, they don't understand a Phyrric Victory, or that continual appeasement just gets you an eventual appeaseotomy!!!
