Exactly. He may be in favor of killng babies, but at least he's our guy.
Additionally, as the polls indicated, if he stayed out of the race McClintock, a real pro-lifer, would have won.
Now what do we have. Two of the biggest "stars" in the Republocrat party are pro-abortion, Guiliani and Schwarzenegger.
I'm very disappointed and disillusioned with politics and trends in general. Feel like dropping out and retreating to prayer only -- no political involvement.
Let's rephrase that in two ways:
"If the guy who won 48 percent of the vote in a 135 member (or, I'll concede, a four man race among Arnold, Cruz, McClintock and Camejo) had just stayed out, our guy would have won."
"If conservatives had just spurned Arnold and supported McClintock to the hilt, he would have won."
It is disgusting that so many conservatives ran straight to Arnold's banner because he was a famous name with an "(R)" after it, and I was a McClintock guy up until a few weeks ago. But once it became apparent that McClintock could not win, the obligation for a conservative was to use their vote to help the candidate closest to our beliefs, and that wasn't Bustamante. Voting for Arnold was sort of like using a fire extinguisher. When you have a choice between driving to work or opening your hood and spraying the engine with a fire extinguisher, using the extinguisher is a really stupid idea. If your engine is on fire and your choice is between letting your car burn or using the extinguisher, suddenly the extinguisher is a very good option.
A Bustamante governorship was a fire. A McClintock vote was (at best!) "watch it burn, but feel warm and fuzzy about it." A Schwarzenegger vote was "use the extinguisher."
