We've witnessed pragmatic conservatives who want to get Gray Davis out and are willing to accept half-a-loaf to do so, butting heads with ivory tower conservatives who argue that we should all act according to our convictions and vote for the most pristine conservative, regardless of his electability, but these recall debates have turned into more of a war among Freepers. What I fear now is that the unintended result of the recall will be the Republican Party of California further tearing itself apart, and being more battered and ineffective than it was before the recall began.

And I fear this "Arnold War" will spill over into Bush's reelection next year, with hardcore ivory tower conservatives refusing to help in his reelection because Bush isn't "conservative enough" for their tastes. In short, the recall, which should have been an opportunity for Republican unity, is turning into a slow death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.

I think I'm through with these Recall threads. This particular one has pushed me over the edge.

Agreed. And the name calling, which I and others have tried to avoid, sure hasn't helped.

Maybe we - you, me and those you pinged - should be directing our fire at the democrats, huh?

Ouch... a rough thread? I just signed on today and am almost afraid to read it ;-)

I'm feeling the same way about these threads. Not much new in them, same old Arnold bashing, namecalling, RINO calling, insults..........all redundant. What's really distressing is that the management of this forum is not....... er..um.........."managing" this situation. The forum is decaying right before their very eyes and yet nothing is being done. If I get banned for saying that, then so be it.

but.....but........we can't let the terrorists WIN...!!
