This is the same logic as in California. Don't vote for Schwarzeneggar because of what he represents --- overlook that! -- vote for him because he has an "R" beside his name.

I'm not an "R" because I like r's.

I'm an "R" because of what their principles are supposed to be.

It is time for an OFFICIAL religious conservative caucus within the Republican Party. They should advance their own candidates and endorse candidates. Based on the positions of various candidates in any given race, they might find themselves endorsing a Constitution Party or a Libertarian Party candidate.

In California they'd almost certainly be endorsing McClintock OVER Arnie.

Huh, wouldn't you also like to see the full transcript of Gillepie's interview instead of the Union-Leader's interpertation.

Scared that you may find out that you are screaming "the sky is falling" over nothing?

[Wrigley]

Its well past the time for that. And can't you just hear the cries of many of you can't mix religion with politics.

[Revelation 911]

amen

[B Knotts]

Heck...how about even just a "conservative caucus."

Granted, I know it wouldn't be very big to begin with... :-)

In California they'd almost certainly be endorsing McClintock OVER Arnie.

Which would followed by the election of Bustamante.

OK, when's the first meeting? We need to get a declaration and by-laws written and appoint some leadership. I don't want to see some lightwieght, backpeddling pussies like Falwell or Robertson as leaders.

"In California they'd almost certainly be endorsing McClintock OVER Arnie."

Except for the fact that McClintock has little money, or name recognition, and Cruz 'LaRaza' Bustamante has the 80 million dollar backing of organized labor on his side.

The media Love Davis and Bustamante, and despise McClintock. They are also limited in their ability to attack Arnie, since he has quite a following. This evening there will be a televised 'debate' between the candidates in the town where I grew up. The Contra Costa Slimes, which played a big part in attacking Bill Simon with false inuendo in the last election, is sponsoring said 'debate' (along with KQED the local Communist TV station), so I'd say that Arnie has made a wise decision to avoid that circus, with it's canned, pre-set questions (public need not apply).

I wasn't a Swartzeneggar proponent until it became clear last week that he is the only chance we have to halt the slide of our state.

It is encouraging that he has shown the good judgement to avoid giving that forum any false validity. - (McClintock and Uberroth, why are you going?)

I can understand your sentiments, but the reality of politics is that no pure party is going to dominate nationally.

Our greatest weapons anyway are not the vote but prayer and witnessing, getting the unsaved saved.

What saved England from the French Revolution was the revival by the Methodists.

I personally could not vote for Arnold. I will not knowingly vote for anyone who supports abortion. Gun control is another issue. I'll bet he has armed bodyguards with him and his family at all times. If I had that, maybe I wouldn't need to carry a gun...

[The Grammarian]

My sentiments exactly, X. If I were stuck in Kalifornia, I'd be voting McClintock over RINO Arnie.
