To be perfectly clear, I simply joined this group to get a better idea about what folks thought about Parsky. I have heard some good & some bad on the street... when I Googled the guy - this is one of the places where he's been discussed ad nauseum.

What I have found is that virtually everyone here supports Schwarzenegger, but not some of his policy ideas. The Governor is a pro-abort, pro-environment guy that sits ideologically to Parsky's left. But yet the attacks on Parsky are that he's a RINO. The arguments made against him are schizophrenic. Schwarzenegger is a RINO. I think perhaps what we have here is a YAFfer drill. (hopefully not the kind featured on CSI last season)

The vitriolic hate speech directed at Parsky is something to behold. No one has answered simple questions, no matter how I communicate. Lots of name-calling but very little substance. Parsky hasn't had a position in the party where he held ANY responsibility to direct funds. The Party Chairman, the Party Executive Director, Consultants & Campaign treasurers do that. I'm fascinated that so many folks here get completely emotional about a rather dry topic.

And the total lack of loyalty to President George W. Bush is appalling. Please don't claim to be Republican while questioning his principles, judgement, and leadership of the Republican Party. And I'm sure its isn't a coincidence that Condi Rice (another good Californian) sent up a trial balloon about 2008 on the same day Parsky did.

The actions/policies and his appointments are indeed what is important. You will find many here who are critical of those actions to date; I am one of the most vocal (ask Southack! lol).

I am hopeful that he will make the obvious choice on the spending cap and endorse John Campbell's initiative (although I fear he will go with the bogus one offered by Hauck). Time will tell. So far, his record is nothing to celebrate, IMO.

I am a registered Republican and voted for Bush twice. I do not support him on illegal immigration or what I consider to be excessive spending. I vote for those who I think will best represent me, I do not pledge to be "loyal" to that person regardless of what they do.

I think you are trying to put people in too few boxes and thinking that one must pledge their "loyalty" to an individual politician. You seem to conclude that if one doesn't think favorably of Parsky that they must support Schwarzenegger. Or if they are critical of Parsky, they do not support Bush. That is so far from reality, I can only suggest that you stick around, read, and learn. Your conclusions are totally inconsistent with the postings and articles I read here at FR (and I read most every thread posted to the California topic).

By the way, you still didn't answer my question. If you want honest responses to your questions, perhaps you should go back through this thread, and the other one you started, and answer the many that were posted to you which remain unanswered.
