The deadline for an "application" for an absentee ballot is September 30, 2003. Tight, huh?

Has McNader received additional buy-off money from tribes other than Viejas?

We probably had this discussion earlier but, if not, would you prefer Dianne Feinstein or Barbara Boxer over US Senator Peter Fitzgerald? You can ignore silly opinions any time but you had better pay attention to the ones that reflect truth.

Here in Illinois, we behave politely toward Mexicans. We, ummmmm, respectfully ask for heir votes and get many. A pro-life, pro-family Mexican woman came close to winning (as a conservative) the only Democrat legislative seat in my county. Mexicans here are quite capable of voting Republican and running as Republicans. The district has an African-American Democrat incumbent from Texas who is also a quite civilized and decent guy despite his terrible voting record. Because of our immediate former stinkpot Governor RINO Lying George Ryan (the one who cleared death row), we did rather poorly on a state level last year but we are ready now to recover.

Numerous real Republican gubernatorial candidates come to mind here. Peter Fitzgerald (particularly if his US attorney in Chcago can jail RINO George Ryan) is one. He is by no means alone.

Class warfare???? No, not really. Fitzgerald is not exactly a pauper himself. However the polopony set in California have amply proven their complete political ineptitude. Social conservatism PLUS fiscal conservatism is ideal. If one or the other has to be de-emphasized, it must be fiscal conservatism that is de-emphasized. If you do not understand that, you will. Thurston and Lovey Howell are NOT the GOP future.

I know of no McClintock supporter who would have preferred a postponement of the recall election. Some thought the recall not a very good idea. I have mixed feelings on that. Nonetheless, it is on the ballot and it is time to take care of business and the party's future by seeing to it that there will NOT be an empowerment of the "money/money/money " crowd in the party at the expense of far more important issues.

I have been accused of a lot of things but stupid has never been one of them. You want stupid? Try and win a statewide election as a Republican in California without the pro-gun folks, the pro-life folks, the pro-family folks, the anti-tax folks, the anti-spend folks and the anti-quota folks as you are doing and you will see.

Arnie is most certainly NOT a professional politician. He is a rank amateur being manipulated by an evil group of pros like Buffett and Wilson. With a $38 billion deficit this year alone and more sure to come next year, you do not need Arnie and his amateur hour.

I try not to be the language police, but I think you want to review your second sentence beginning with: "If Schwarzenegger..." May I respectfully suggest that it seems not to make sense?

If need be, just drop it off at your polling place on election day. If you mail it, mail it on the Saturday before the Tuesday of the election. It must be received by Tuesday at the place it is mailed to, so allow two days, plus the intervening Sunday. The postmark does not matter.

It has been posted before many times, and it will be posted again many time. Sigh.

A loss for the Republican Party in this state is more of a "ho-hum, so what else is new" event.

Exactly my point "Poohbah", with "Republicans" like the "TommyMac Bots".
Who needs any Democrats as the loyal opposition? It is like...watch my back, while I will take care of the Democrats.

So, a person voting for a liberal being called a liberal is an insult?

Sheesh

If that is so, how can you so cavalierly reject Catholic discipline?

No, Arnold is polling 25-28% of the California electorate and has not been within a country mile of 39% of the electorate as you well know. I was one of Reagan's state chairmen when he bucked Ford. Were you?

Time enough to deal with Cruz when Arnie, the Trojan Horse, has been dealt with. We aren't helping Arnie. When will that register. It is an election. It is not a horse race. It is about principles. It is not about careers, jobs or contracts. The intensity of your desire to elect Arnie makes no claim on conservatives to reward their intraparty enemies.

For Catholics, life is a pope thread. You don't have to agree or comply. We do. America, it's a great country.

I told you these are all the keyesters and patsies who hate bush and see arnold as a proxy doll to stick their little voodoo pins into...

they call him a rino.
they say it to each other.
and when provoked it leaks out all over every thread.

They are in denial about who is RUNNING and LEADING the party... because it is NOT them or their wannabe candidates...
who LOST the last presidential election.

and when BUSH won without MOST OF their votes... statistics showed that the righty tighties stayed home in protest big time.... they began to realize, they were NOT the center of this party's convicitons, practice or policies....

THIS is their temper tantrum in action.
LOOK for it to get MUCH worse before next november.

They will join hand in hand with Dean to agree that Bush is a XXXXXX. (fill in the blanks with the same stuff keyes said about bush last election)

Arnold - California Landslide

You could very well be right!

Earlier today, deport posted several interesting "internals" regarding the polls posted here, and that info seems to suggest that Arnold is on the verge of a landslide if McNader drops out, and a win regardless of McNader.

I have added Lovey and Thurston Howell to my repertoire just for variety.

Poohbah isn't a liberal.

A lot of people here just want to deal in political realities. They'd rather get some of what they want than none of it.

That doesn't make them "liberal".

McClintock voters are essentially helping the Democrat win. That doesn't make them "liberal", either...but they're doing plenty to advance liberal policies. (More than Schwarzenegger voters, when you think about it.)

Since you feel you don't need Tom's voters, they can safely retain their integrity. I assume that you will prove that to be your belief by ending the campaign to convince Tom's voters to sell their souls.

But enough about the Tombots. When's Tom going to actually start campaigning?

You know, in the first hour of KABC790 0900 Hour broadcast, I have heard the first TommyMac commercial; there are a whole lot of voice over saying what a swell guy he is, ego stroking type and,...lo and behold a voice over sounding just like Ross Perot. I kidd you not!

You ought to listen to that, it is just about the end of the commercial.
