You talk like a teen ager.

How so?

"McClintock's economic policy" indeed. Most of the electorate in California is dependent on the government's teats. And they will vote themselves out of "their" jobs, free medical care, and fantastic retirement benefits? Be serious.

I think you're exaggerating your own position (if not, we're all doomed anyway because it's already converted to communism).

BTW I would not disagree that there is excessive reliance on state makework jobs for employment here. But what do you suggest to do about it, from a ballot box perspective?

From a ballot box perspective you have to make choices that will damage the will, plans, and alliances of your enemy, just as Sun Tsu pointed out nearly 2,500 years ago. Appear strong where you are weak, and weak where you are strong.

On a strategic level the conflict is mind to mind. On a tactical level the goal is to disjoint expectations and sow fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Horowitz is very good at this. Elect him Governor. Do not elect someone like Ann Coulter as she is all stick. The carrot is needed in one hand, the stick in the other.

Corrupt your enemy, do not be afraid to bribe his supporters.

Have very much better intelligence about him than he has about you.

You can only change yourself and how you see reality, that is learn. If you can change yourself fast enough you can win.

On the very short term, Schwartzenegger intends to bribe the Democrat's supporters. This is good tactics. "Divide and Conquer" is true as always.
