And freedom is only freedom.

I never thought low taxes was just a fiscal issue. It's a freedom issue. Property rights is the basis of all our other rights.

I am pro-life and have in good conscience voted for pro-choice candidates when it helped further both the pro-life and other conservative causes. Defeating Davis and the feminazi, socialist, tax-n-spending, pro-abortion leftwing monopoly democrats in Cali will be a victory for conservatives - a HUGE victory - even if the new Guv is a moderate like Arnold.

Wilson's form of "fiscal conservatism" was the violation of your prperty rights and everyone else's by jamming the biggest tax increase in California history to this day down the throats of Californians in his first year. You could look it up.

Lower taxes are indeed desirable but they are not what you will get from Arnie or Wilson. What you will get is gouged for much more tax money to balance the California budget and pay for Arnie's public school and environmental spending schemes. Resisting the enactment of such burdens is certainly a freedom issue. p> It is the right to life and not the rights to liberty or property that is the basis for all other rights. If you were not alive, you could not be free nor could you own property unless you are a corporation.

Your description of Doofus and the Demonrats applies aas well to Arnie who is no moderate. If you are pro-life, vote as a pro-lifer. If you vote for pro-aborts like Arnold, you are NOT pro-life. Words have meanings and ideas have consequences.

Surrender on the installment plan is surrender nonetheless.

As to your last line, the usual formulation is that the perfect is the enemy of the good, suggesting that one may reasonably accept a somewhat less than perfect (but not outright bad) candidate, the world being what it is. It does not justify calling George McGovern or Arnie or Wilson Republicans, conservatives or even acceptable.
