TOM MCCLINTOCK DAILY EDITION - 10/4/03 (CA GOVERNOR'S RACE)
Please post local, regional, national news and views on Tom McClintock. This is a news and info thread. The following guidelines for posting are per DoughtyOne's most excellent suggestion.
McClintock Camp - Supporters or Defenders
Please post positive articles about Tom's policies and leave the Schwarzenegger bashing to the Democrats.
Schwarzenegger Camp - Supporters or Defenders
The call for McClintock to withdraw right now, or the tactic of calling him and his followers names for not doing so, is not productive and isn't good for the party.
Please save the Rino Arnold/Unelectable Tom rants for other threads.
"Dear Mr. Reagan, it should be obvious to you now that you can never be elected governor. Please put aside your ego, for the good of our party, and get behind the one man who is moderate enough to appeal to California voters - - San Francisco Mayor George Christopher."

You're correct. But I was talking about the consequences of GOP loyalists and moderates bashing conservatives for their stance on Schwarzenegger in the recall.
I think the GOP cause would be better served in the long run to realize that the enemy of their enemy is their friend.
In the short term, the recall, when it hits the fan next spring I'd personally rather have a conservative making the tough decisions. His motives will be much less suspect. If a liberal capitalist is forced to do the things that will be necessary, even the GOP cause will not be well served.
Steve Wampler, the person writing this forwarded message, will be a guest speaker at an event on Saturday at the Hilton in Santa Clara (Great America Parkway). (10-04-03 at 11:00)
The West Valley Republican Women have invited him to speak. Also, the Eagle Forum's CA representative, Orlean Koehle will address the group.
"Burkeman1's account has been banned by his own request. I have been sending warning notices out to many of the warring parties on these threads and I'm betting that there will be several more suspensions, bannings and resignations before this is all over. You people will quit trashing and bashing our conservative candidates and you will quit insulting, attacking, stalking and harassing each other or a whole lot of you are going to be gone from FR! It's way past time to call for a cease fire on this board, but I am doing it now. CEASE FIRE!!!"
Its bad form to quote somebody without pinging them to the quote. Also, do you have a link to JimR's words somewhere? Was this sent in the form of a Freepmail or was it a post on thread somewhere?
(Ain't politics fun?)

Yes, I saw Jim's similar comment on the other pulled thread this morning. Thanks for the repost.
