Evil can be more or less understood. It is the 'man in the middle' whose moral depravity few of seem to understand. It is the 'fence-sitter' who ultimately serves to sanction evil by striving to effect compromise between good and evil.

You don't have to look far to see the consequences of 'moderation'.

Anybody remember that Bible quote about "spitting out that which is neither hot nor cold"?

Centerism is not defined as pandering to leftism.

When you deal with Satan, you loose every time.

Who are you implying dealt with Satan? Governor Arnie? In 2010, Senator Arnie? Or is it the ilk who loost? I wouldn't say the ilk lost, after all the demonratz had an overwhelming victory. The ilk certainly are disappointed they didn't get enough people to vote against Arnie in order to get their Philthy ilk scum in office, but they'll continue by trying to thwart the governor as he tries to hold the line against a socialist demonrat legislature,

Losing RL 6 was a sad day for America, don't you think?

My candidates all bucked the trend and won, btw.

Yes it was, however that was not my insinuation. What I meant is that is wasn't only the center of the road which was slaughtered.

I'm glad you had some success with your candidates. I had none. 'Cept for Arnie, of course. There all I have left is the hope that without concern for re-election he can move back to the right.

Skippy could be our first dead swing-voter. Looks like he turned left this time. Suicidal.

That is if you define "bipartisan cooperation" as the governor cutting deals with Democratic lawmakers. And if you ignore the fact that of the 138 Republican legislative votes that could have been cast for those three bills, exactly six were.

Wiegand nails it. We don't have "bipartisanship," we have a Governor who has aligned with democrats. Exactly ZERO Republican legislators voted for his Global Warming bill (AB 32), yet that doesn't stop them from touting it as some kind of Centrist accomplishment. Centrism is a sham, imo.

SF Chronicle, November 9, 2006

But [Assembly Speaker Fabian] Núñez said Wednesday he is convinced that Schwarzenegger has become a true supporter of Democratic goals. "We certainly cannot apologize for the progress that was made, because it was all on our terms," he said. "I think we did a good job in California of turning a Republican governor into a Democratic spokesperson."

Your ignorance causes you to err. I had nothing to do with those races.

My candidates were all in a state in which we won every single major race. We unified the GOP, stuck to our conservative guns, and now, for the first time since the 1920s, hold every statewide and federal office.

The Dems and their water carriers in the Dem Media made a strong bid, as they did practically everywhere across America, but we completely beat them down and beat them back. No matter how hard they lied, we told the truth harder and better.

Don't let your bias' cloud your vision, PDR.
