You know I am really tired of the Tom McClintock faction here preaching what is a Republican and what isn't. What is a conservative and what isn't. Heck, I even hear them telling people that they aren't Christians because they didn't vote for Tom McClintock.

Now I am sure that Tom McClintock is a good man and he has good principles. But to my mind he is no leader. He doesn't come across that way. He seems to be more of a clerical policy wonk type of guy who would be fine as an administrator but never as an executive. A Senate job would be perfect for him.

But that is neither here nor there. I respect the guy, but not many of his supporters here.

You can disagree with each other, vote differently, or whetever, but when people start telling others that they aren't Christians because they don't vote one way, that is just going TOO far.

And quitting because your guy didn't win. Wow! I'm not sure we need those types of people in the party anyway. Do yuo really think being a "free agent" is going to be anything great? You can go to the DemocRATS. I'm sure they will allow you to have influence in their party. You can go to the Constitution Party or the Libertarians. You will have a lot of say there. No power, but probably some say. You can feel good while the DemocRATS take control of the country because you weakened their opposition.

If you want to take your ball and go home then do it. I'm tired of the complaining. I'll not beg you to stay nor should anyone else. If you don't want to be in the Republican Party then go.

I hope that everything else goes well for you and I wish you well in your future endeavors.

As I have stated before on this forum, my loyalties are to my family, to my nation and to my state - in that order.

I give no loyalties to political parties - smacks of communism/socialism/nazism. And I have to say, the pressure to be loyal to the "Party" and vote for Arnold has been very disturbing to me.
