He scares me.

Me too. I really wonder if he is mentally stable.

Errrr.... the CORRECT TITLE on that Ann Coulter column is... "The Most Important Reason to Vote for Arnold"

Wrong!! Go to the Official Ann Coulter website from which I copied and pasted the source of the article and you will see that the correct title for the article is "It Depends What The Meaning Of The Word 'Deficit' Is ". Click on the name name of the article and look for yourself.

He scares me.

I guess he's the John Galt to your Jim Taggart. Sounds about right.

[Tamzee]

Hey you, happy Thursday :-)

BTW, I'm jealous you heard the show... I would have liked to have caught it, too.

[EggsAckley]

Posse Ping!! ...no more like Arnold’s Idiots And before you go running to Report Abuse... your only reason you ping these people is to disrupt this thread ... you have become out own little FR DU...so dont cry your being abused

So now you have a problem with ping lists??

[fqued]

you wrote: You can argue all you want to that Arnold's baby steps rightward--the ones forced by Tom and his supporter's refusal to surrender to the liberals--mean anything. He has no credibility.

Please translate. . . I am not certain I have any idea what you are saying.

Oh, and I NEVER said that Arny was on the right, and I also never said that I supported him or his views. I was arguing for FAIRNESS about what he says and believes, and against calling him a liberal or RINO. He certainly ain't a conservative, but he also ain't no liberal, either.

"What are you in your early to mid-twenties? It shows..."

LOL- be sure to tell me when I have permission to "speak with experience". I have more at stake than many older people out there since I get to look a lot farther down the playing field. Not every play is made on the 10 yard line.

[Spiff]

Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity are both great Arnold supporters

Ann is not a "great Arnold supporter". Any support she might offer the liberal is tepid, at best. The only reason she can come up with that anyone would want to vote for the liberal is that he "is not Gray Davis."

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Liberal Republicans in liberal states - what sort of Republican could you elect in those places ? And with a liberal population, there is some surprise they voted for Gore, in such a close election ?

Nice circular logic. But but I thought that in close elections that a Governor's party magically made some difference in the way people vote? If anything, because of America's history in Congress of always voting for the party out of power, it HURTS the candidate.

Certainly nothing hurts a party like a dithering, pandering, principleless leader, which was the point.

(R)nold wins, Bush loses.

Do you worry that allowing a "fiscal conservative" who is a "social liberal" to win will make the GOP more likely to drop their anti-abortion and anti-gay platform?

Of course. Ultimately, that is what this is about, as you well know. That's why I'm in it, and why you are in it.

I want to keep the GOP the Reagan pro-life party, and you want to make it the Schwarzenegger pro-death RAT party two.

But I don't accept your premise that Arnold is 'socially liberal and fiscally conservative'. That particular creature is mythical.

[Tamzee]

No, they have a problem with folks disagreeing with them... stating opposing viewpoints is now considered "trashing a thread" in their eyes.

Sounds a lot like China to me...

[BunnySlippers]

So why doesn't she support McClintock?

[fqued]

actually "communism" is at its core an economy theory of history. In practice it is totalitarian, atheistic socialism.

Nothing I wrote about is "communism."

The problem with using words like "communism" is that the emotion content is very high, and the communication content is very low, unless the words are use quite precisely.

[Spiff]

So why doesn't she support McClintock?

Who said she doesn't?

[EggsAckley]

Don't know where THAT guy came from. I think they have a tag team.....ambrose was curiously silent most of the day, but tallhappy was double pitching. Why are they so caustic? I never said a word to him. Oh well, don't answer.

~</;o)

[AmericaUnited]

You act like this is a sporting event. It isn't.

Please, I KNOW ITS IMPORTANT to the people of California and this nation, that's why I don't want to see Busty win via GOP stupidy, unlike others (hint).

[BunnySlippers]

I want to keep the GOP the Reagan pro-life party

But didn't Reagan sign a bill in California alloowing abortion?

[EternalVigilance]

If Arnold is not a liberal, then words no longer have meaning to you folks. You've become like this guy:

[NittanyLion]

Another Jim Taggart.

Ayn Rand was an amazing woman, to have the insight to understand folks like yourself. You're terrified of the man's unwavering principles because it's threatening to you.

[Tamzee]

Yes, the caustic aspect is really interesting... and started the night Arnold announced on Leno ;-)
