A McClintock supporter response point-by-point:
the mcclintock people are reflective of their candidate; self centered, egotistical, and morally self-righteous... obviously the only "true conservatives"
Let's see here, we ask for principles and you believe we are self-righteous. Well, answer this, if you dare..."Did you support Arnold BEFORE he said anything or is your support a recent revelation?
Next thing we know, McClintock will be calling for a statue of the ten commandments in every state owned building... Maybe he could even get Judge Moore to campaign for him in california so the "true conservatives" can drive away the "moderate rinos" they hate...
Not a bad idea regarding the Ten Commandments in all State owned buildings...I would support that. As for hating RINOS, I will speak for myself when I say that I do not hate them...I believe they do not stay with core principles, blow with the wind, are in the middle-of-the-road (usually a two lane road) and appease only when necessary (which is most of the time). Judge Moore is a good man standing up for principles...but alas, you probably don't understand what that means...
Of course they don't go look at the website. Too busy foaming at the mouth over the reality that is coming like a freight train. Arnold will win. Without them. Their self-marginalization as "the only TRUE conservatives" will have completely removed their place at the table... and the conservative "moral conservatives only need apply " wing of the republican party will go the way of the reform party...
Typical Arnold supporter rant, no response necessary.
They know it, and are desperate to prevent the inevitable. Politics does not REQUIRE compromise it IS COMPROMISE and those who don't (as ronald reagan did) compromise, eventually self-eviscerate...
Reagan believed in peace through strength. What you propose is to give in to the left prior to battle even starting...sounds alot like the Iraqis that surrendered before the war during British target practice...
and then cry martyr martyr woe is me... I actually wish them well on their forty year journey into the political wilderness.
More rant...and while we are talking about it, who are the ones holding up Bush policies??? Did you say Snow, Chafee, et. al, hummm??? Aren't they MODERATES???
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Snort...made me laugh. Good post.
Tough to hear, but sadly true in some corners of the movement. Chris Matthews said it well the other night: "There are some (conservatives) who don't want to govern...they want to be on the outside attacking those who do..." (Not an exact quote, but that's the best I can remember it.)
