That's right. Fake conservatives. Your "punt on first down" strategy betrays you. It's pure cowardice, which is not part of conservatism. If you were genuine, you'd want McClintock to give it his best shot, articulating his positions and gathering as much support as possible, and only THEN, as the election looms much closer, determine whether or not his candidacy has a solid chance of winning, and if not, withdrawing and throwing his support to Arnold (as at least some improvement over the Democrat fascists currently running things).
But instead of encouraging someone who you CLAIM better represents your positions, you immediately badmouth him, call him names, and harass his supporters. This makes you frauds where conservatism is concerned. You are fools, cowards, and worthy of no respect. In fact, it's because of your ilk's self-fulfilling prophecies of doom as you've pushed previous RINO candidates that the presumption exists that a conservative can't win. Had Simon not run an incompetent campaign, he'd be in the governor's mansion now. Now that there's a candidate running an intelligent campaign, getting increasing exposure, you don't have the stomach for a battle. You're more impressed with the "R" on Arnold's name tag than what he may do once in office.
