" Cut the "strongarm" garbage. It sounds cute but I can't make you or anyone else do anything.

If you can't best someone discussing the issues, call them names. Tactics of a scoundrel. I'll post as I please, thank you. And the point of that comment was to illuminate your tactics, which try to force the voters into Arnie's camp. Yes, those are strongarming tactics.

"in a race like this in a Democratic state he does not have a chance. The numbers speak for themselves."

All California voters have the option of voting for McClintock, because he is on the ballot. You can say that there is no choice all day long if you wish, but the choice remains, in black and white on the ballot.

Again, your statements reflect a self-fulfilling prophecy. People have said the same thing about conservatives all throughout history, which is why I really don't give you much credence to your observations.

Your reliance upon numbers without any specifics, also do not persuade me. You do realize the inherent problems with polling data, population data, and so forth?

"I'm simply saying that if the choice is someone like Arnold or any Democrat I say the Republican is the best bet."

That ain't necessarily so, as I've posted before.

"Your "vitrol" comment is more garbage. The only horse I have in this race is the clout the gov. of CA has in the upcoming presidential election. I don't dislike McClintock, I never met him. I've seen him on TV and he comes of badly. He is not telegenic and is not someone likeable."

*shrugs* My vitriol comment is dead on. You say you don't dislike McC and then you say that he is not someone likable. Aside from the logical flaw of that statement, it reveals your attitude.

"And Bustamente will get elected if McClintock stays in the race. You might not like that but that's the way it is. To consider otherwise is just foolish."

Anyone who disagrees with you is foolish? More ad hominems and "It's my way or the highway" type posts, and the crystal ball argument "Candidate X will win because I say so." None of these work, just so you know. Keep trying.

I have not called you any names or made any personal attacks. Yet you've called me a "scoundrel". Why? Because I don't agree that McClintock has a chance? No big deal. I'm not as thin skinned as you seem to be since you seem to be taking my comments about the candidate McClintock as some personal view on you.

How many political campaigns have you worked on? The stuff I've posted as views about McClintock pale compared to what the Dem. political operatives must be saying about McClintock. Do you realize that the Demorats are laughing their a$$es off as they watch McClintock pull votes off the only Republican that can win?

Tell you what, I'll make you a bet. I'll bet you $250 payable to FreeRepublic that McClintock loses.
