You have a lot of nerve talking about Arnold supporters when your hero takes money from the Indians. Maybe you would like to get an education about Indian gambling by following the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/988275/posts?page=158#158 As for me, I don't think much of someone that is called a "principled" conservative taking money from the Indian gambling interest. Here in my adopted State of Oklahoma, our "principled" conservatives are fighting against the gambling interest not taking campaign money. You see since moving to Oklahoma after being transferred I really do know what "principled" conservatives are -- they are my State Rep and State Senator who are fighting the Indian gambling and lottery which would lead to more Indian gambling and Class III casinos for Oklahoma -- McC couldn't carry their briefcases because his brand of "principled" conservative doesn't even come close to those two gentlemen or my Two Senators Inhofe and Nickles.

That is why I would never support McC -- he is a phoney and has a bunch of folks fooled. I will support a more moderate Republican everytime when I sense the "principled" conservative is nothing more than a shell! Even McC said that he would do nothing about abortion while Arnold wants parental notification. Now who is being "principled" then?

My wife and son are part Cherokee, so I don't have a big problem with Indians. I also have no problem with gaming. It's only fair that the Indians get to make some money after all this time.

You cannot seriously think that Schwarzenegger is going to be more conservative on abortion than McClintock, can you?

Ted Costa called Tom McClintock "the most decent man I know" on radio the other day.

CALIFORNIA STATE REPUBLICAN PARTY OVERWHELMINGLY ENDORSES PROP 1A - THE INDIAN SELF RELIANCE AMENDMENT

BURLINGAME, CA., February 6, 2000 -- The California Republican Party, at its state convention in Burlingame on Sunday, voted to support Proposition 1A - the Indian Self-Reliance Amendment. With more than 600 delegates in attendance, the membership voted overwhelming to endorse the ballot measure that will protect Indian gaming on Indian lands.

As part Native American myself, I am annoyed when someone implies that Indian money being spent on a candidate's behalf is corrupt, or unprincipled, or whatever you are trying to imply.

I think I could easily say "racist", but there are so many other illogical positions that PhiKapMom takes, it would detract from pointing out other problems with her attacks on a principled conservative from her safe, out-of-state vantage point.

In PhiKapMom world, anyone who is for McClintock must be a political enemy of Arnold and therefore an ally of Bustamante.

I guess that makes Gun Owners of California, Gun Owners of America, WorldNetDaily (Joseph Farah), Michael Reagan, and the California Republican Assembly "unworthy" of her support as well.

I ask PhiKapMom here and now-- Do you or do you not support these individuals and organizations, and do you or do you not believe in their conservative and/or libertarian bonafides??

Too often in PhiKapMom-world, down is up, and up is down. Arnold is a liberal, but that is good in PhiKapMom-world. Chicks will stoopidly vote for Arnold based on his early nude photos alone, but that is good in PhiKapMom-world. NRA frequently refrains from involvement or compromises on gun rights, but that is good in PhiKapMom-world.

I have yet to find any redeeming conservative or libertarian value, from a FR point of view, that PhiKapMom brings to this forum, based on her opinions as expressed in the Tom/Arnold debates on FR. She attacks anyone with the temerity to disagree with her civilly with ad hominem. PhiKapMom saves old magazines with photos of nude Burt Reynolds. Someone here is an embarrassment to her state and her gender. Why any conservative would pay any attention to PhiKapMom's inarticulate expressions of support for Rockefeller Republican Trojan horse candidate Arnold is beyond my comprehension, unless they are of the same (liberal) mold as her.
