The problem with (some) conservatives is that we want all the pie, or none at all. Liberals, on the other hand, will accept partial victories if it contributes to their overall aims. Look at the polls. Arnie's fault? No way in Hades, sir!

You are right.
Or they get so stuck on one issue that they will not consider anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly support that issue.
I guess these people consider it to be "selling out" to vote for a candidate who is not perfect.
Conservatives need to be more pragmatic and remember that "politics is the art of the possible".
Arnold may not make some folks happy. McClintock may BE the better conservative. But Arnold is the guy who can win, and with that, conservatives get a foot in the door in a place that badly needs a conservative influence.

One issue? Arnold is liberal on every single core Conservative issue.
"I guess these people consider it to be "selling out" to vote for a candidate who is not perfect."
No...we Conservatives consider it "selling out" to vote for a liberal just because he has a small (r) in front of his name.
Conservatives need to be more pragmatic and remember that "politics is the art of the possible".
No....Conservatives just need to be Conservative.
"Arnold may not make some folks happy. McClintock may BE the better conservative. But Arnold is the guy who can win, and with that, conservatives get a foot in the door in a place that badly needs a conservative influence. Tia"
How will electing a solid liberal like Arnold give Conservatives a "foot in the door"? On the contrary, electing Arnold will only serve to marginalize Conservatism. This forum was established by Jim Robinson to further Conservative goals, not to defeat them.
