And the truly conservative candidates because they don’t have enough money can’t compete. This makes me sick. Here we are doing the same thing Arnold did in CA. Sounded good, celebrity; but all red flags were ignored. Oh my what a candidate? He speaks for us. Yeah, right. Being sucked right into it just like always. Instead of change we’re taking the line of least resistance which is an uphill battle all the way. Why don’t people learn and wake up. Or is it money and greed win?
Duncan who? Oh, right, some guy from down near San Diego. Sorry, the reason why he's not competitive is because the state party, since Pete Wilson, has consistently suppressed any voice which doesn't meet their 'ideal image.' What image that is, I've no idea, but Arnold's usually at the top of it.
And we could debate until we're blue in the face if McClintock would have come on top or not, but pretty sure if every Freeper on FreeRepublic and their families all voted for Tom, he'd still not have won, and Arnold still would have, so it's pretty tiring to continue that debate for long.
The truly conservative in California, or elsewhere, for that matter, has to stand up and be counted. I think Fred's done that in recent years, being where he's needed, and also public enough that his efforts are known. That's why I'm supporting him right now. Would Duncan Hunter be a better president? Nah, not in the slightest. I'm 90 miles from him, pretty much didn't hear about him until he decided to run for president.
Yes, there's much to dislike about Fred's past, and his present, for that matter, but there's plenty more to dislike about Rudy McRomney. But let me point out something - those who are seeking the 'true conservative' had best hope for an open convention, and a very contentious one at that. Because that's truly the only way it's going to happen. Someone is going to have to stand up and be a leader there, and a couple smashing speeches would push them over the top.
Kinda wish that Hunter had that ability, but having heard him speak in person.. He's kind of like Ron Paul, he inspires on certain topics, but overall leaves little impression. Personally, I hope for a decided convention well ahead of time, with no quirks from any committee. But it'll be up to the candidates to inspire their voters, and to do that, they actually have to start working on inspiring people to be their supporters. Fred did a lot of that with his video introduction, Rudy's done most of his footwork back on 9/11, and Romney.. I guess for many, it's because he's not Rudy, because I've yet to see anything about him that impresses me at all.
