YOu mean like they have been for the past 20 years in California?

[Ol' Sparky]

It takes a REAL conservative to rebuild the GOP in California. McClintock would beat Bustamante easily in a two-man race.

Instead, too many have put their faith in trust in a liberal Republican that has no core beliefs and may well be that same type of sexual deviant Bill Clinton was.

[HamiltonJay]

Oh, you mean like Simon beat Davis? Or any "REAL" republican has won state wide in a decade? You are in la la land... one on one, McClintock would have been gone long ago...

In cali politics today, reality is guy like McClintock can't win statewide... like it or not.. he's already tried many times and failed.

The person whose friend claimed that Big A attempted to rape her is apparently in the entertainment industry, which obviously brings him into contact with people who have knowledge and experience with others in that field. I was a part of that scene for awhile myself, and you find out many "interesting" details about celebrities --from people you work with & from first hand experience.

I think the post was deleted because it was an unsubstantiated claim that could be slanderous. But supposing that from this person's perspective, and his friend's, this was not a "supposed", but an actual act. If it was an actual act, then why shouldn't this girl (or her friend) be allowed to relay the information?

How many girls have dealt with a guy who tries to force sex on her? (Many) How many officially report the incident? (Very few, unless there was injury or actual rape). But how many tell their friends about it?......

My problem with the way you were treating this person was that you seemed more offended and disgusted by the people who expose Schwarzenegger's sexually deviant behavior, than yu are over the fact that Arnold has done some pretty disreputable and "shameful" things, himself.

As I asked you before, How can you say the poster lacks a sense of "common decency", without questioning the "decency" of the candidate? And hence, because this is so similar to the Clinton/Jones/Lewinsky issues, I asked you what your stance was on Clinton's impeachment. I think you are smart enough to be able to make that intellectual leap without my having to write 2 more pages...

Perhaps I stretched in assuming you had double standards. But from all that you wrote, that is how it appeared to me.

So he says. I've seen people who post here for years and convince people they are something they definitely are not.

The total lack of judgment and the risk he took to make the statement tells me he is very possibly nothing he says he is.

But you just go right ahead and buy everything you see someone post. You folks are a hoot.

McClintock is an INFINITELY more experienced and articulate politician than Simon, one that that the Gallup indicates has 19% lead on Bustamante in a head-to-head race and who has the HIGHEST favorable ratings of any of the three major candidates.

You're just looking for reasons to justify your hero worship of Arnold the Harrasser. But, what are you going to do if he gets in and listens to Warren Buffett and the Kennedys?

[HamiltonJay]

Oh the desperation, its 10/02, election is in 5 days, McClintock is sitting at what 15-18% and dropping.... You can play what if all day long... what are you going to do when you have Bustamante running the show because you were so tone deaf that you voted for a spoiler and elected the fat racist panderer to office?

[HamiltonJay]

OH, and lets not forget McClintock has lost HOW MANY TIME STATEWIDE BEFORE???? Please, he's nothing but a spoiler and an also ran..
