Recall Revolution (Arnold Supporters, Explain Yourselves!)

After reading this, I just don't understand how anyone remotely conservative could vote for Schwarzenegger. As the article correctly points out, the opportunity to get a conservative in power in California won't come around again anytime soon. Why would anyone waste a vote on this shill?

Why would anybody feel any obligation to even give the time of day to the sycophantic Birchers at TNA? That conspiracy soaked rag couldn't be a serious political journal if it tried.

[GROOVY]

Senator McClintock has refused to cave in, and his polling numbers have been gaining as Arnold’s have been crumbling.

Is this true? Have I missed some recent polls?

[RichInOC]

"Shut up, he explained."

-Ring Lardner

[ambrose]

The statement was true PRIOR to the debate. Now... it is outright false.

[G.Mason]

"Why would anyone waste a vote on this shill?"

Advise to inquest ....... ((((((( hey ....... inquest ))))))) .......don't vote for the shill!

Good luck Thursday Californians!

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

After 40+ years of bogey man predictions and outrageous, never-to-happen conspiracy theories, what rational person could ever take the John Birch Society seriously?

That is what needs explaining.

[Torie]

Enough already. Everybody, but everybody, on this forum has made up their minds about this race, and is throughly familiar with all the arguments. You and a few others are simply beating a drum that has long since lost all its sound.

[Southack]

The 15% of voting Californians who willingly label themselves as "far Right" will vote for McClintock, just as the 30% of Californians who willingly label themselves as "far Left" will vote for Bustamante (as well as "no" on recall).

The election, however, will be decided by the 55% of Californians who haven't been persuaded to become either far right or far left, and who aren't attracted to either Bustamante or McClintock, much to the chagrin of the unbending extremists on both sides of the political spectrum who are running their own campaigns as if they were in a European parliamentary system rather than in a representative democratic republic.

Parliaments aren't how America works, something that both Gray Davis as well as Arnold Swarzenegger realize, much to their advantage over their less sophisticated competition.

[Torie]

If Birchers are true blue conservatives, then let me take this opportunity to announce that I am certainly not one. But then, that is probably not a major surprise in any event.

[Let's Roll]

Ross Perot.

[Carry_Okie]

This article went too far in a lot of places. To mention Wilson as having adopted the policies of "his predecessor" Jerry Brown without noting the eight years of George Deukmejian in between is dishonest.

I do appreciate the list of minor names he gave in developing the environmental plan. I'll check a few of them out.

[Ol' Sparky]

You're right. Schwartenegger isn't conservative and he has major character flaws and a past that will further embarrass the Republican party.

McClintock can win. It's ashame to many people have been brainwashed into believing otherwise.

[fqued]

"Senator McClintock has refused to cave in, and his polling numbers have been gaining as Arnold’s have been crumbling."

WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO A GUY WHO CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND POLLS?? ARNOLD'S NUMBERS ARE CRUMBLING??? THAT IS HILARIOUS.

CAN WE ALL SAY "LANDSLIDE"??
the polls actually indicate an Arnold win, with a good possibility that he will get over 50% of the vote.

This "author" . . .

"It was fashioned," the Times continued, "with the help of advisors brought in by Robert Kennedy." Those Kennedy advisers include enviro-activists Terry Tamminen, Robert Grady, Buzz Thompson, and Dan Emmett.

Well, well, well. It's just the passel of globalists one would expect.

Just shocks the hell out of me.

Buzz Thompson, aka Barton H. Thompson, Jr, Robert E. Paradise Professor of Natural Resources Law and Vice Dean, Stanford Law School... and a big friend to Earthjustice.

Really warms my heart. And last, but not least...

Dan Emmet, President and CEO of Douglas Emmett Realty Advisors (owner of the Galleria).

Nothing like a developer looking to cash in on farmland.

"McClintock can win."

You guys always forget to factor in that your candidate isn't the target of the Democrats and media.

McCain, Buchanan, etc. were the darlings of the media because they hurt the front running Republican. But they wouldn't last one day if they suddenly became a real threat to the Democrat candidate.

Why would anyone waste a vote on this shill?

To avoid a psychotic.

Birchers are not true blue conservatives; -- however, neither are you or palpy or arnie.. -- No surprise at all.


The really surprise might be that Arnie could become one by studying and learning from our constitution.
-- While you fellas have clearly rejected that option.
