With Simon out, there's only one conservative in the race -- - McClintock's 1) the most experienced; 2) the most knowledgeable; 3) the one with the most well-articulated vision; 4) the one with Reagan-like CONVICTIONS (not convenient "opinions" adopted yesterday -- and subject to change tomorrow; 5) the one who's from the MIDDLE CLASS so he KNOWS that TAXES HURT -- he feels it in his bones, not through a focus group -- so we can trust him to keep his word.
NOTE: LYN NOFZIGER HAS JUST ENDORSED MCCLINTOCK!
Arnold will falter.
Tommy McC's numbers will rise.
You've *GOT* to be *KIDDING*. What *DIFFERENCE* does it make if McClintock got more votes than *SIMON*? McClintock *LOST* that race to Steve Westly, an *EMPTY SUIT* with *NO* political experience! If McClintock couldn't win an *EASY* race like that, how is he going to win *THIS* one?
McClintock is a proven *LOSER*. Go Arnold!
Every vote for McClintock is a vote for *GOVERNOR BUSTAMANTE*!
Are you saying if Arnold wins and imposes strong fiscal restraints on the liberal legislature, that wouldn't be a win for conservatives?
Doncha all forgets about me, the little Al Sharpton! :-)
What makes you think lib-leftist Arnie will do that?
How is Arnie going to pay for all of his leftie, nanny-state programs? You know the stuff that he has believed in all of his life, not empty promises from an empty suit made weeks before the election.
No, I want a conservative to win. Why shouldn't Arnold get out and back McClintock? McClintock's been fighting the fight in the Legislature for years - - - knows the budget better than anybody, could find and unearth the skeletons as soon as he got in the gov's office, --- why should somebody with his ability, knowledge and years of experience be pushed aside in favor of somebody who's been NOWHERE to help California during those same years -- merely because he's an actor? Sorry, I'm not that shallow. I see too much of this happening in all aspects of life today - - sexy surface style is preferred over convictions and substance. IT happens in the corporate setting, too -- and it degrades our culture, our quality of life. too bad there are "conservatives" on freerepublic who've bought into this intellectual and spiritual emptiness. Essentially, they've bought into part of the liberal lie, which says looks and image -- not substance and belief and hard work -- are what count.

Is there any way we can just give California to Mexico or France? We don't need to be in the fruits and nuts business anyways. |
McClintock is not the only Republican to have lost in the 2002 election. Does this mean every person who ever runs for office and fails is a "loser" who can never win again? I pointed out that more people voted for him than Simon as evidence that McClintock is a more attractive candidate than Simon.
So then, with respect to an Arnold/McClintock decision, for the conservative... do you support the guy who approves of child sacrifice, the gay agenda, and has indicated that even more taxation might be in order, or do you vote for the guy who is against all of that and in addition wants to do something serious to deal with the crippling problem of illegal immigration?
Personally, I don't see how someone who can choose Arnold over McClintock can claim to be a conservative.
I guess my final caveat is:
Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.
First of all, I do not live in California. However, if I did live in California, I would not vote for Bustamante, because I disagree with his views.
I still fail to see how a vote for McClintock is a "vote for Bustamante". Do you have inside knowledge of a plan for election fraud, in which election officials are planning to move votes from the McClintock column to the Bustamante column?
So was Abraham Lincoln...
