[NormsRevenge]

Turning the GOP in California into "a gay marriage party"

Helluva legacy.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

[RexBeach]

"Don't be a 'girly-man!'"

[guitar4jesus]

Guess we'll have to start calling him "The GAY-vornator" now.

[ZULU]

The girly men like his muscles - they want to feel them.

Schwarzenegger has been sleeping with a Kennedy too long.

Sleep with swine and you will eventually smell like one.

[Mr. Mojo]

State Treasurer Phil Angelides, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, has said he would support a same-sex marriage bill. That leaves voters with little choice between the two candidates, Thomasson said.

The choice is clear, actually -- Angelides supports homo marriage, Arnold doesn't (he vetoed a same-sex marriage bill last fall). Angelides is a fiscal liberal, Arnold is a fiscal conservative.

[NormsRevenge]

Arnold is a fiscal conservative..

LOLOLOL

(Uhhh, I couldn't help myself.)

[Mr. Mojo]

He's a social liberal, that's for sure. ....but fiscally he's more consevatives than quite a few politiicians who call themselves Republicans these days.

Point is, despite what Thomasson said, there is a significant difference between these two candidates.

[calcowgirl]

Arnold is a fiscal conservative.

Oh, now that is rich! There ain't nuttin' conservative, fiscal or otherwise, about our current gubbie.

[cowboyway]

Sleep with swine and you will eventually smell like one.

Lay down with a Kennedy dog and you'll get up with liberal fleas.

[NormsRevenge]

Oh , there are some differences, his track erecord in 3 years budget wise is hardly conservative tho, imo.

He's just trying to keep up with the rest of the
National party, that much I agree with. There is little to no restraint on either's part...and that is not good.

Meanwhile his campaign people are having county GOP meetings (Victor 06) across the state declaring that they will have thousands of volunteers in every county.

When asked how they are going to motivate those volunteers to give up part of their summer vacations and weekends, there is either no answer or the old FO answer, we are going to contrast the Governor with the "alternative". i.e, they expect to motivate volunteers out of a loathing for Angelides.

I hear they got a real razzing over the gay thing at the San Bernardino County gathering last week.

If Victory 06 comes to your county, you might want to ask the same question. It needs to be asked over and over again. Why should I volunteer for someone who is against nearly everything I care about?

[Mr. Mojo]

Alright, I should've written "Angelides is a fiscal liberal, Arnold is ....less so." Point is, there are enough differences between these two candidates to vote for Arnold -- they're far from indentical.

[ElkGroveDan]

Arnold is a fiscal conservative.

How so?

[Wolfstar]

Schwarzenegger is expected to attend the Log Cabin Republicans event to raise money for the organization's West Coast chapters.

Good morning, Norm. So Arnie is raising money for the Log Cabin group. As the reputed head of the GOP in California, the gov can rarely be bothered to do fundraisers for Republican candidates at any level, or to help rebuild the party in this state, but he runs to do one for the LCR's.

In my opinion, the recall was a DISASTER in every respect.

[ElkGroveDan]

Point is, there are enough differences between these two candidates to vote for Arnold

One big difference is that Arnold has the power to sway the GOP toward his liberal polices. Angelides doesn't.
