I just heard a GREAT radio ad supporting Tom McClintock for Governor. It was Bruce Herschensohn - - California's MR. CONSERVATIVE -- speaking from the heart. An announcement said it was co-sponsored by California Republican Assemply, so I went to their web site - - and here's the official announcement of the Herschensohn ad:
CRA LAUNCHES RADIO CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT TOM MCCLINTOCK FOR GOVERNOR The California Republican Assembly announced today that it was beginning a radio campaign urging support for Tom McClintock in the recall election October 7th. Bruce Herschensohn speaks candidly with listeners in the 60 second spot confronting the argument that although McClintock is the best candidate, he can’t win.
“If everyone who has said that would vote for him he’d win by a landslide,” Herschensohn says. The spot concludes with an appeal from Herschensohn: “If you think he’s the most qualified candidate, support him. At this point, it doesn’t depend on him, it depends on you.”
If Arnold doesn't even have the political and moral courage to join the referendum campaign to overturn the illegal alien license law (and he doesn't) then he's not going to have the backbone to "fix the state's financial problems" Because fixing those problesm (without a tax increase) will require decisions that will make politically correct groups angry. So far, he's shown no willingness to challenge any politicallly correct doctrine.

"Silly" question, eh? Glad to see where your priorities lie. I'll ignore your crack about Bustamante supporters and type this slowly once again. It's a no-brainer, so please try to follow along:
Unless the referendum passes (and it will, despite Arnold's reluctance to endorse it), the d**n drivers' licenses get ISSUED TO ILLEGALS ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2004. If the referendum succeeds, the law is IMMEDIATELY STAYED UNTIL THE MARCH 2004 election and thus the licenses probably NEVER get issued, as the law will undoubtedly pass.
Now let's all try that again, together:
1. No referendum, DRIVER'S LICENSES TO ILLEGALS GET ISSUED.
2. Referendum passes, LAW STAYED, NO LICENSES ISSUED.
Arnold is AGAINST the referendum. Doing something about it AFTER election is TOO LATE, we only have a LIMITED TIME TO COLLECT THE SIGNATURES.
Sorry to shout for emphasis, but Good Lord, is that simple enough now??
Yeah, that rich guy Arnold thinks he can walk in and wow voters without offering any specific plans or policies. Fortunately, we learned from the Perot episode to beware of such flim-flam
CORRECTION: This is a typo. The licenses will be issued JANUARY 1, 2004...BTW, just in time to be used fraudulently in the March 2004 elections!
Sorry about the typo. I was so mad I couldn't see straight when I typed this. I'm outta here now. Enough exasperation for one night.
Wrong. Look for the post-election polling data. I am willing to bet that "conservatives" will constitute at least 40% of the vote in the recall.
Bush/Rove told him not to.
I'll take Arnold for Governor and trade McClintock for Bush....
No, truthkeeper, Arnold isn't against the referendum; he just doesn't support it.
If he ever were to say that he was against the referendum, his supporters wouldn't be able to keep telling us how "strongly opposed" Arnold is to SB60.
It's a rock-and-a-hard-place situation. If he supports the referendum, he ticks off the liberals. If he opposes it, he ticks off the conservatives. He's got a win-win going by doing neither.
No, not at all -- we've got to WIN!!! That's all that matters. You must not have gotten the memo.
There's a quote on another thread where Arnold says we've got to forget about the whole Democrat/Republican thing. I'll ping you to it. It's pretty disturbing.
