I save posts that I particularly like.

Here's one:

You all of these references to "damn the principles" are really presumptious.

The flaw in your argument is that someone who votes for Arnold is going against YOUR principles, not theirs. Obviously, conservatives who support Arnold see it as a principled act to vote for the candidate who will actually stand a chance to win the election so that he will be in a position to push liberalism back, if only a little.

By voting Arnold, those people are standing by THEIR principles, and frankly, YOUR principles are and should be meaningless to them.

Thanks for the post and the dittos.....as you know, I am a social conservative..I am not a fan of Arnold, but I understand that the lesser of evils is preferable to pure evil. I tire of the down their noses "principled" gaggle that attempts to belittle anyone who votes in a practical fashion....and as the night passes, we see that McClintock (who I much prefer) did not have a chance in California....just reality.
