McClintock: I'll Never Drop Out of Calif. Recall Race

From your experience?

No, but as related by Jim Jones himself. He too led a hopeless cause.

If you don't surrender principles, Kool-Aid is not necessary.

Here's hoping that refreshing iced tea instead of Kool-Aid is on your beverage menu for October 9 when Governor-elect Schwarzenegger accepts the challenge of governing the state of California.

Iced tea or kool-aid? Doesn't much matter, these whining children drink from baby-bottles.

True. At least the makers of Depend undergarments can still make a living from them.

You stayed up all night thinking that one up, didn't you...

it fits like the proverbial glass slipper.

"ending the campaign to convince Tom's voters to sell their souls."

Why end a campaign to save lost souls... Tom apparently sold his to the viejas gambling crime family a while back. Please don't follow Tom into perdition...

[mbraynard]

Because he's run for statewide office before and nothing came out. He was the top R vote getter and ALMOST won the comptroller job in Nov. 02. He's also been a thorn in the dems side for a long time out there and if there's something to off him that was viable, he's be offed by now.

My tax money will be living out there bailing out California because of its unusually dense pack of RINOs who want to call anything a victory even Arnold who is no better than Bustamante who is not better than Doofus.

You are claming that Arnie is (conservatively speaking: 50% pure). Prove it by reference NOT TO HORSE RACE but to PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES. If you think there is a 50% difference between Arnie and either of Bustamante or Doofus honest enough to identify themselves as the Demonrats they are, prove it.

Do not embarass yourself wit references to volunteer work. If there is a national poster child for political laziness it is the send the candidate a check so he can buy TV ads, what time is the polo match, obsolete white shoe GOP.

I don't particularly care how you vote. This is a democracy. You are wallowing now in the results of RINO disloyalties past (by those who are as Republican as Maria's Uncle Teddy but don't like Mexicans or blacks well enough to be Demonrats in the formal sense). Collectively, California will, like all democratic institutions get what it deserves. There will be a Republican future in California (Arnie is no Republican). How long do you want to wait.

You can eloquently post as many abbreviated profanities as you like but you will not live long enough to see me shut up. You might try discussing PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES and PRINCIPLES. If not, not.

[BlackElk]

I had not realized that you believed in the existence of immortal souls.

[BlackElk]

You have a little less than four weeks left to convince conservatives to vote for Arnie. Personally, I do not imagine that you will succeed but you might want to discuss PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES rather than tossing around terms like "masturbatory" in your blind rage of frustration. If you don't want to talk PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES, thank you for your total lack of civility which makes it easier to keep votes from Arnold and to preserve the system by which primaries will keep others like him from ever being nominated by the GOP.

not a catholic thread...
stay on topic.

Uh,...

Gray Davis........ Catholic
Cruz Bustamante....... Catholic
Arnold Schwarzenegger...... Catholic

and

Tom McClintock........ Catholic

From the National Catholic Register article, "Note to Arnold: If You Win the Governorship, Watch Terminator II Again" here:

These two issues alone should ban him as a biohazard - too toxic to touch. We have unambiguous statements from the Vatican that make clear it is sinful to support such a candidate, particularly when there are reasonable alternatives. Read about them online at www.traditionalvalues.org.

This isn't a case of choosing the lesser of two evils - and that's perhaps the one positive aspect of this electoral pandemonium: The structure of the recall election prevents the two parties from offering voters a choice between pro-abortion Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

If pro-life, pro-normal-marriage voters united behind a single candidate, he might very well win with only 25-30% of the vote. It's unlikely he could do much to restrict abortion in California, whose legislature legalized the procedure years before Roe v. Wade snatched it from voters' reach. But he could provide leadership, thunder from his bully pulpit or nibble away at public funding for destruction of the unborn. Small steps - little things - but real ones. The road to heaven is paved with them.

More importantly, the defeat of a socially libertine Republican would prevent the powerful pro-abortion faction in that party from growing still more influential.
