No, you don't get it. Where conservative principles are actually preached, they are embraced.

Sorry, YOU don't get it. Tom McClintock ran for statewide office twice and lost and there is no more principled and articulate conservative.

People do crazy things. The Germans voted in Hitler. The voters in Muslim countries like Algeria and Turkey vote in sharia law.

Another thing, most voters sat on their a*ss and did not vote. The turnout here was 40%!!

The laws of physics and mathematics will bring this place down and the rest of us here will be brought down by these morons.

Sorry, but that is just wrong. You are blaming McClintock's loss on conservatism instead of where the blame lied -- with the State GOP who gave him exactly ZERO support. Let's take the State Controller race. I will steal from a prior analysis and post from Carry_Okie:

CONTROLLER
                                   Votes Pct.  Spent ($MM)
Steve Westly     Moderate Dem         45.4 	$10.6
Tom McClintock   Conservative Rep     45.1 	 $2.0
 
Result? 
The conservative got NO support from the GOP, 
was outspent 5:1 by a moderate Democrat,
and nearly won anyway.

SECRETARY OF STATE 
                                   Votes Pct.  Spent ($MM)
Cruz M. Bustamante    Leftist Dem    49.5 	$4.6
Bruce Mc Pherson      Moderate Rep   41.8 	$2.8
 
Result? 
The “moderate” Republican darling of the GOP got lots of support,
was outspent only 1.6:1 by an extreme leftist with no credibility, 
and the "electable" GOP "moderate" LOST by a margin NINE TIMES larger 
than the unsupported conservative in the same election.

Imagine what could happen if we got rid of the SOBs in the State Party that only recruit and back liberals(R).
