...extreme positions will never get the chance to vote *for* someone who will win. They can vote forever for losers who are similarly extreme, but they will never, ever be permitted the chance to vote *for* someone who can win. When you are extreme, that's the way it is. The best you can do for society is to vote for the best you can get and simultaneously deny victory to the opposition. That's right; that's how it works. When you are extreme,...

Do you really think that McClintock is an extremist?

[BibChr]

He did the same with my "crickets," if memory serves.

Hey...is he really... MILTON BERLE???

Do you really think that McClintock is an extremist?

To the extent that he is incapable of the political give and take that it requires to lead yes. Beware the man that believes he has the answers to everything. That man doesn’t know the questions.

Saturday, Bustamante made the unusual move of praising one of the Republican contenders. Bustamante talked up McClintock, who has been taking votes from Schwarzenegger and could spoil the actor's chances if Davis were recalled -- thus allowing Bustamante a chance to win.

Exactly.

I guess you could sort of take it as a compliment, then.

We can expect a last minute Bob Mulholland trick, good grief, that is what the rats do. Remember Bush's DUI? I won't think it is a darn bit funny. This behavior sickens me. That is one reason I am digusted by the threads here about the recall, all of the name calling by those who are supposed to be on the same side is appalling and the reason for the recall has been forgotten.
I will never feel the same about Republicans again.

Transparent. Can't Tom see he's being used?

But what if Bustamanate wants us to think that. He knows that if he praises McClintock, people will think he wants them to vote for McClintock and so they won't. So maybe he doesn't want people to vote for McClintock, and that's why he's saying that.

But what if he knows we'll think that and he wants people to vote for McClintock, so that's why he's praising him. Or maybe that's just what he wants us to think...

Personally, I think Busty is just a dumb cluck.

I know you didn't makes the assertions concerning extremists,but I now would like to know,given that McClintock is an extremist,does it follow that his supporters are extremists,too?And would that be because of their conviction to vote their conscience?

Beware the man that believes he has the answers to everything. That man doesn’t know the questions.

You must be talking about Schwarzenegger here.
