I guess that answers the question of whether you can actually "talk" about the issues rather than just post things from other people to make up for your meekness. Well speaking of the duplicitous "Conservatives" you like to cite as "proof" there's this.

Cheap phony graphics aren't going to cut it anymore. They are old and stale, and untrue. It must upset you that we just have to post a natural, unretouched photo of McX to get him ridiculed. Arnie looks good even in your lying pictures.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Dude, what part of "I dont take you seriously and don't bother even reading your BS anymore" do you not get? Forget being attracted to "Arnie" are you in Love with me?

[68 grunt]

Now thats original! Come on, your bile can't be spent yet. Post some more lies, its okay, come on!

[68 grunt]

Forget being attracted to "Arnie" are you in Love with me?

Well, gee, big boy, would you like to meet for a cup of coffee? On me, knowing how cheap democraps are!

[Timesink]

But but but, I thought you goofballs NEEDED liberals as part of your Triangulation strategy, certainly with that evil McClintock "wasting" votes. Go on, tell me another story about how brilliant you guys are in conning the Democrates into voting for (R)nold.

Try reading the posts before you respond to them. I quoted, and was speaking to, both you AND 68 grunt. And I took, and have taken, no position on Arnold vs McClintock, so for you to suddenly label me as an Arnold groupie is laughable.

The Math Is Not in McClintock's Favor

With 13 days left until voters go to the polls, Brulte's influential Republican voice in support of Schwarzenegger was echoed by 14 former GOP state chairmen -- among them Shawn Steel, John Herrington, John McGraw and Tirso del Junco.

Issa, who spent $1.7 million to help collect signatures that put the recall on the ballot, all but urged McClintock to pull out.

"I talked to Tom McClintock before he got into this race. He told me a couple of things that I'm going to hold him to," Issa told CNN's Judy Woodruff.

"One, he said he wouldn't get in if it wasn't a crowded field. Two, he said he wouldn't be a spoiler. And, three, he said he could do the math.

Steel, the immediate past GOP state chair, also urged McClintock -- whom he called a friend -- to withdraw from the race, saying the senator now risks being a spoiler.

"The mathematics is simple but profoundly important. We are in danger of repeating the same error, well-meaning supporters of Ross Perot committed 10 years ago," wrote Steel, in a public letter to Republican activists. "Can we imagine a life under Cruz Bustamante for years ahead? What would remain of the middle class or the existence of our party?"

Let me take the heat, please, Timesink. Don't get involved in the ugly.

"Tom is only finished if Bustamonte wins. Otherwise, I think folks will forgive and forget by Nov 2004."

"Awwww, I guess you're right, but don't tell him, please. "

===

I really don't think this is true. If Arnold wins, it will be no thanks to McC and Arnold winning doesn't change the FACT that McC did everything in his power to help Bustamante and undermine Arnold. Republicans won't forget that.

[68 grunt]

Maybe you're right, but I'm a sorta forgiving dude.

[FairOpinion]

I would have been forgiving two weeks ago, one week ago, even now, but if he stays in until the bitter end, he has to learn that actions have consequences.

He is showing himself to be a traitor to the Republicans, plain and simple, that is not a forgivable offense in my book. And he is not doing it because he is stupid, he is doing it deliberately. Just think of his conversation with Burton, his pledge to Issa, which he isn't honoring.

[Timesink]

I live in the US and last time I checked I could pretty much speak my mind on this forum. If that offends you, check on over to Democratic Underground site. You might feel more comfortable there.

Length of time it took me to find a post from CdMGuy mouthing off like he/she even has any relevant knowledge of another state (or in this case, a country), its politics and its fiscal condition: fifteen seconds. A post about Canadian border policies and their potential economic impact on that nation. A post on Swedish law enforcement.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Ah, well then I misinterpreted what you wrote. It sounded like that to me, but I was wrong.

[68 grunt]

Yes, character does matter. Thanks for the reminder.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

More spam?

[BlackRazor]

Where is Rasmussen these days, anyway?

He's still doing polling. His latest organization is called Rasmussen Reports (rasmussenreports.com).

[68 grunt]

More disruption?

[Timesink]

Ah, well then I misinterpreted what you wrote. It sounded like that to me, but I was wrong.

No biggie. Most people wouldn't even have the guts to say the words "I was wrong", so kudos to you.

We're having fun arguing anyway. ;)

Heh, okay!
