That's the way real politics work. But yer dealing with true believers here. See posts 9,17,24,25. That's what we're up against.

They salivate for a moral victory while guys like us want real victory. How can Tom make a deal now that he's told Arnold to get out of the race? Your ideas make too much sense....

Me a true believer?

I have supported the Republican party for years on both the state and national level.

What have I got for my effort? More and more legislation taking away my Constitutional rights by both parties. I am beginning to believe those who say there isn't a dimes worth of differance between the Republicrats and the Democlicans once the get in power.

Tom is the foot in the door to regaining our rights as free men and women.

While it is better to use the ballot box I am afraid that we will all to soon have to resort to the cartridge box because of the Democrats and the RINO's.

Yes, but if there were no comprehensive concessions by the RINO camp to Conservatives, then as I said and KEEP saying, the votes stay in the McClintock column and he can and SHOULD remain as an active candidate. They (the other side; our estranged brethren) can take it or leave it. The idea is not in cement, it can be ammended. It is just a starting template, nothing more.
