The reductionist mantra of "a vote for A is a vote for B" is patently not true. But it's always promulgated by those who wish to bully others into supporting candidates that they ordinarily would not support. It's nothing more than strongarm tactics practiced by fearmongers and opponents of conservativism.

What a load. The ONLY GOAL is to win. You can't unless your guy gets the majority of the votes. Which ain't going to happen in McClintocks case. So a vote for him elects the racist who should be running for office as a member of the PRI in Mexico instead of office in this country. And Arnold, the only Republican who has a shot loses.

Some logic pushed around here make about as much sense as a guy about to be shot by a firing squad who won't smoke a cigarette because it's bad for his health. He has "his standards" you know.

The deal is to win. And to have a Republican win. Why? Because he isn't a damn Democrat. Oh, but "Arnold is not conservative". Boo damn hoo! The guy that will win is insane and wants to give our biggest state to Mexico.

This is not high tea. It's not some kind of game where people can afford to be high-minded and not vote for a guy that night be able to win. It's about winning! That means "not losing".

You may not like my Ross Perot analogy but ask yourself this: "What did Ross Perot ever do for all the people that voted for him". The answer is nothing. Now ask yourself another question: "What did the guy that won because people that voted Perot do once he was elected"?
