"Within a month it became clear that the CA G.O.P. was not an organization I could respect and support and so I have switched parties and will be changing my screen name to Rabid Dog." by Rabid Republican

So sorry about your problems. But you left the party, the party didn't leave you.

We all want more conservative leadership in power, but the "I want it all now or NOTHING thinking" only guarantees you NOTHING.

It wasn't McClintock or his supporters that did the right thing for this state in this election at all, they were off in some fantasy land the whole time.
This state started to turn around without you and McTombots and the "reasonable people" from all parties (including conservative democrats)did the real work and made sure a Republican was elected over Bustamante.

Tombots abdicated their responsibilities in this election if they voted for Tom. That was form over substance and dangerous.

Tom himself made a statement by never dropping out which I interpret as:

"I Tom McClintock am the only one for this state or nobody else can win. If you won't back me, I won't leave to help the party and will attempt to spoil. If the party loses and Bustamante wins, that is probably good for me in 2006, so my interest are served anyway. I don't care about the Republican party, the people of California or it's future....but be sure to back me in the future campaigns, especially against Boxer, because I am that dam important and special"

Rabid, career politicians can't screw the people and then expect to be welcome back.
If a dog bites you when you pet it only the stupid try and pet that dog again the same way...I am not stupid and at most only the % that voted for Tom in this election could ever be that stupid again IMO!

Have a good day.

Turn the binoculars around the other way. You're looking through the wrong end.

A CA Guy -

We all listened to you spew your filth for weeks now. The election is over. No one here really cares what you think. You are about as welcome on this thread as a fart in church.

The people who supported Tom McClintock did so because he best represented their beliefs and principles. From your comments, that's something you don't understand.

I'm sure you can find a gloat thread somewhere. So stop your trolling. Go away already.

As much as I do like McClintock and what he stands for, that is exactly how I interpreted his staying to the end. He put the election at risk, and we could have Bustamente today ... trying to reannex us to Mexico tomorrow! The "Tombots" stood for non-reality. Let's take our reality in small bites... slow and steady wins the race.
