Your assessment regarding the desperate nature and the desire/want/need pathology, etc. Except for who's the victim.
It's you Arnold groupies, who hope against the evidence. If Arnold had A (D) beside his name--you'd be criticizing his every move. If Arnold was a plumber rather than a movie star, you'd be laughing him off the ballot.
He isn't even participating in the debates!!!! Except one. Have you ever heard of that from a politician? Unbelievable.
He's surrounded himself with Pete Wilson and his team who brought you the largest tax hike in California history! He won't promise not to raise taxes. He says, "Only in an emergency."
Think about it man. He's telegraphing his every move. (If you're not too dim to see it.)
What did he say is his plan for the budgetary problems? "We're going to open up the books." Still can't see what's coming? What do you think he's gonna find when he opens up the books?
An emergency?
Hold on to your wallet!
And again, I repeat, what happens in 2004 when the Rep. Gov of California endorses the Democrat for President? Can you imagine how much fun Judy Woodruff and Bill Schnieder would have with that? It's a real possibility.
I don't know if it's the built in inferiority complex many conservatives have--the need to be liked by the enemy types. Hollywood hates us--but here's a big movie star who's "one of us." (Notice how quickly Hannity puts you on his show if you're a conservative singer/actor/etc.)
But people who think like this seem to be hoping against all hope--against all logic--that Arnold will be more conservative when he get's in.
WRONG
He'll be more liberal.
Back to the polls for a second. My analysis leaves me with the conclusion that the numbers break down as follows:
Bustamonte: Solid 30%
Not Sure: 10%
McClintock: Solid 20%
Arnold: Solid 20%
People who like Tom, but are voting for Arnold
because "Tom Can't Win": Solid 20%.
Thus Arnold has 40%.
That fluid 20% who wants to vote for Tom, but has been told over and over again that he can't win, holds the difference in this entire election.
If they vote for Tom, he wins. If they vote for Arnold, he wins. It's really that simple.
And, yes, I live in California. San Francisco-6th District.
The rest of your post is equally irrational.
But you go right ahead and vote for the man you know cannot win.
I'll vote for the man I know can prevent the hispanic supremicist from becoming California's next governor.
You'll lose and I'll win.
