Since you are referring to Conservatives, I take that dodge of the issues it has as a compliment.
The rest of us know the facts.
Facts are fun. They are our friend, not yours. The facts about you (R)nold Groupies is kind of embarrassing.
First, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a strong leader who understands the problems facing California and can bring people together to help solve them.Second, Arnold Schwarzenneger will be the check we so desperately need in California government today. No matter what the outcome of the recall election, the legislature will continue to be controlled by liberals who over-spend, over-regulate and over-tax. California needs a Republican governor who can check the excesses of that legislature.
Third, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the only Republican that can beat Cruz Bustamante and ensure that, if the voters recall Gray Davis, he is replaced with a Governor who wants to take the state in a different direction.
In making this endorsement, however, I want to make it clear that I have the greatest respect for my Senate colleague Tom McClintock. I have known and worked with Tom for a number of years.
In fact, in 2002 I served as Co-Chairman of Tom's campaign for State Controller. In this volunteer capacity I helped raise more money for his campaign than anyone other than Tom himself. I look forward to helping elect Tom to statewide office in the future.
But at this time, in this election, I believe for Tom the governorship is simply a bridge too far. This eight-week recall campaign is three-fourths complete and Tom continues to be the third place candidate.
I also believe that his candidacy puts at risk not only the election of a Republican governor, but the recall itself.
