Sorry, I voted for McClintock and my conscience is just fine.

Just as fine, I'm sure, as those who voted for Perot in '92 because Bush 41 was "just like the Democrats" and gave us 8 years of Clinton.

Arnold does not support the referendum to prevent illegals from getting driver's licenses. I don't know where you are getting your information but it is incorrect.

It took me less than one minute to find this article. Pertinent paragraph follows:

Schwarzenegger says he will rescind a newly tripled car tax on his first day in office, renegotiate state employee union contracts for cost savings and repeal a law to give driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants.

I know he also mentioned repealing the license law on October 1st, and IIRC, he even said it would be Item #2 on the agenda, right after killing the car tax.

Here's another para, from :Hispanic Voters Hard to Define in Recall":

When Davis recently signed a bill allowing illegal immigrants to apply for driver's licenses, rivals, noting he had twice vetoed similar bills, accused him of pandering to the Hispanic vote. Schwarzenegger and McClintock both oppose the bill.

On September 30th, Davis warned Hispanic voters that the election of Arnold would bring back Pete Wilson-style views on illegal immigration and the permanent repeal of the license-for-immigrants law. And here's another couple of paras, from political analyst Hector Preciado, who sounds like a typical member of the socialist wing of the Latino community to me:

"Schwarzenegger is a threat to Latinos," argued Preciado. He did not say how he plans to solve problems facing the state. And on top of that he has Pete Wilson as an adviser to his campaign."

"He has made it clear that he does not understand the issues that affect the Latino community," continued Preciado. "He claims to be defending immigrants, but he promised to revoke a law that allows to issue driving licenses to illegal immigrants."

One guy says he'll repeal the law. The other one accuses people who oppose it of racism. Guess what? Today you walked in the booth and helped the second guy. Nice work.

Some people can fool themselves with their rationalizations but they'll never fool God when the time comes.

As a brother in Christ, I have to say to you with all due respect: What self-righteous blather. We live in the natural as well as the spiritual, and this vote has natural consequences beyond whether you feel warm and fuzzy over your "good deed" in the voting booth today. If a Scout helps an old lady across the street and they block a police car chasing a dangerous criminal, has he really done a "good deed" in the real world? Today your vote helped the candidate of Planned Parenthood, Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton. When it comes down to real world consequences involving the lives of unborn children (and perhaps, terror victims down the road) you could have voted for Larry Flynnt and had the exact same effect. It's your vote, and your judgement, and that's what freedom is all about, but don't give the rest of us the church lady routine because we want to keep one of the biggest scumbags in politics away from the governor's chair.

What self-righteous blather

Do you read your own posts?

I've generally kept religion out of my posts in this election, except for some posters who flaunt it in the face of their vote for a candidate who despises Christians and Christian values. I've refrained from comment until it reached the level of hypocrisy. I am embarassed for some of these posters. You've sold out and you want to punish those of us who didn't.

Face it, you voted for a pro-abort. No amount of spin can change that.

Nevertheless, it is likely you'll get the candidate you desire who is nothing more than a Democrat in Republican clothing. You will be sorely disappointed as you realize you fell for a con as he raises taxes, does nothing about illegals and generally leads California down the path of destruction, albeit slower than Davis or Cruz. You haven't been paying attention to his lies and contradictions during these past few weeks?

You got what you wanted. Hope you can live with it.
