I can see social liberal/economic conservatives going over to Arnold on FR, but to see social conservatives go over there to be co-opted, some who VIGOROUSLY criticized both the criminal and non-criminal/immoral patterns of Clintonian behavior, it is nothing short of amazing and disappointing and contradictory.
Who know. Maybe they will come back tonight. Maybe they will come home to conservatism and principle and character. Maybe not.
They can still pull the lever for a squeaky clean conservative pro life, pro family, pro-faith family man in political double digits, the Senator, when they go into the examine their ballot and in so doing, examine their conscience.
No kidding. Im glad im not in California. I woul dhate to be presented with the choice between my conscience and Arnold.
My gut says McClintock and suck it up if he doesnt win. Arnold is not going to save any unborn children and thats important to me. Not that im a one issue wonder, im not. But all other issues are left leaning as well. Just pick one and name it as why you cant give up on principle.
It's Twilight Zone surreal time.
They are drunk on something. They will have a bad hangover later.
Your comments were so well stated and articulate.
On another thread a pro-Schwarzenegger person said something that sums it up: "At this point, it hardly matters what anybody says about anything".
Yep, the party wants to show conservative wing the service exit and hopes to replace them with democrats for whom the democratic party has grown too radically leftist.
Selling liberalism is cheap & easy - alot easier than having to sell folks on conservativism, with its emphasis on morality, self reliance, & hard truths.
The GOP has chosen the easy road. Easy 'cause its all downhill.
What an IGNORANT statement!!
This is what got us DAVIS the in the LAST election!! Simon could not take California in this SOCIALIST State. We need a more moderate Republican to fix things. When people SEE the changes that can happen UNDER A REPUBLICAN Governor, and they see how much better their lives will be, then you will see a change in CONGRESSIONAL elections too. Later you could elect a more conservative Governor.. but not now!
Voting otherwise in THIS election will NOT ONLY get us DAVIS or MEChABUSTAMANTE elected, but THREE STRIKES and we are dead meat!! You will NEVER get a Republican elected in this STATE EVER!! It's do or die time.
