FOX NEWS:
The California GOP will announce today that it will endorse Arnold Schwarzenegger for their candidate for the governor of California.
The official announcement will come at 2pm Pacific time today.
This announcement comes as a big blow to Tom McClintock.
You are a breath of fresh air.
If Stalin was running as a Republican against Hitler, who was running as a Democrat, I have no doubt you'd be here supporting Stalin.
There were so many to choose from, but one particular post has been nominated as one of today's MOST OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS for your suggestion that Arnold is a social terrorist. You'll be thrilled to know that your comment will be added to the Hall of Shame, comprised of other shrill comments by McClintock's increasingly desperate supporters, such as:
-- Posts (plural) that proclaim that "if you vote for Arnold, you're not a Christian."
-- An admission that some are creating an "enemies list" of sorts made up of the FR screen names who support Arnold, and of organizations that support him, intended to be a list of people and groups who have proven themselves "unreliable."
-- A suggestion that there needs to be a "true conservative" challenge to President Bush for the nomination, so McClintock should run against him in the primaries. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/990293/posts), and an outright endorsement of McClintock as presidential material (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/990718/posts?page=13#13)
-- A suspicion about Darrell Issa's claim that McClintock made a promise to him that his candidacy would not damage the chances of electing a Republican in the recall, because Issa is "a terrorist sympathizer." (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/990452/posts?page=246#246)
-- The comment that "Arnold wants to use your tax dollars to slaughter unborn children," along with the corresponding comment that Arnold's supporters are "babykillers." (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/990641/posts?page=81#81)
-- The suggestion that Arnold is a rapist/woman-hater who is not only like Bill Clinton, but "Arnold IS Bill Clinton!" And in an encore performance, the claim that Arnold's supporters have become Clinton as well. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/990490/posts?page=36#36)
-- The wish, because of White House involvement in encouraging candidates who can actually win, that "With any luck, Karl Rove will be in prison in fairly short order." (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/990793/posts?page=12#12)
-- If Arnold is elected, one person hopes that he will lose his job and that the entire California economy will tank, simply to embarrass Governor Schwartzenegger. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/990490/posts?page=26#26)
-- The declaration that it would be better having Bustamante as governor than Arnold. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/990839/posts?page=63#63), and for an encore performance of the same theme (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/990839/posts?page=69#69)
-- Not to be outdone, a claim that it would be better to keep Gray Davis as governor than to have Arnold! (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/990606/posts?page=26#26)
-- The suggestion that Arnold is a piece of human excrement. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/990718/posts?page=20#20)
-- The judgment that Arnold's supporters are toxic poison, degenerate godless filth, and are condemned to hell! (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/990894/posts?page=8#8)
-- The assessment that negative, libelous, last-minute slime tactics are just peachy, provided they are aimed at Arnold. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/991042/posts?page=32#32)
--
and to illustrate the previous point, a post proving one to be the moral equivalent of Gray Davis by posting their own negative, libelous, last-minute slimy hit-piece. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/991802/posts?page=1)
Yes indeed. I like #297 as well.
Perhaps the face of the Republican Party is changing. So far, looks like California goes GOP ... I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)
Get REAL ... or get a dictionary at least. The ability to get elected is not the same as being "cute".
Can Schwarzenegger win a general election with only forty percent of the vote? Then he might want McClintock's support in the future. McClintock has made himself into a kingmaker, and if you're actually conservative, why are you offended by the thought that someone will be there to make sure Schwarzenegger stays to the right?
Arnold has already said he's serving only til the end of Davis's term. And Tom's behavior over the last few weeks has effectively ended his own career. I wouldn't vote for him for any office.
A great many of them successful either at choosing their parents or obtaining government contracts.
I'll vote for Arnold, but I have little respect for the country club set.
With a statement like this, I would have to question whether you even have a concept of God. This is disgusting.
The current news has Arnold in Monterey, California and Tom in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The current news has the Republican front runner about to topple the Davis/Bustamante team while the only significant Republican who refuses to support the Republican team fund raising out of state to attempt to run as if this were a Republican primary instead of a recall general election which could throw the election to the Democrat, Bustamante. Now why would I be upset ?
Really.????????????????
