Freepers say they'll stay home if Rudy wins. Heloo HILLARY!!!


The RINO's will oppose Hillary out of partisanship. They'll have a party with a lib Republican. You tell me who will do the most damage.

a real conservative is no longer going to win statewide unless the ... Dem candidate dies in Oct.

Funny you should mention that. It really happened.

In Oct 2006, Angelides dropped dead at the polls.

I use every opportunity to zing this into whatever thread would be apropos and LO! Almost every time I am ignored.

But I am convinced we did not stay home, nor 'taught the Republicans a lesson' nor did we, so en masse .. kick the RINO's out.

No ... I truly think 'we wuz robbed' and no one seems to want to seriously entertain even the possability ... go figger.

As of today's count, Republican Senator McClintock received 15% more votes for Lt. Governor than Democrat Angelides got for Governor.

McClintock also received 12% more votes than the moderate incumbent Republican candidate for Sec of State, Bruce McPherson.

The unfounded accusation by FairOpinion was about conservatives, not Republicans.

Reading always helps.

But the conservatives decided to stay at home and sulk, handing Congress and CA statewide offices to the Dems. That'll show the Republicans.

I guess it did show republicans. You want to continue with a politically correct war? You want to bring up amnesty every day, you want to call Islam a religion of peace & illegals are only here for a job, you want your conservative president to only talk about securing the borders when forced to & then run around with Bubba giving him a stage with Daddy Bush calling this impeached POS his adopted son. Go ahead & see even fewer turn out to vote in this fraudulent, corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". As for Ahrnold, he has set the republican party back 20 yrs in this state & your vote for this other worthless tool just legitimized idiots like him running in the future.

Correction to McPherson... not sure how that "1" got in there (should be 2%, not 12%)

• Republican Senator McClintock received 15% more votes for Lt. Governor than Democrat Angelides got for Governor.
• McClintock received 2% more votes than the moderate incumbent Republican candidate for Sec of State, Bruce McPherson.

The light must really be dim under the bridge.

Misread the comment, argued the wrong point and misread the facts.

Do you suppose that a flashlight might be on their Christmas list?

Poizner is also an abortionist. In his '02 election TV ads he stated he supports a woman's right to choose.

He won't get my vote in the primary.

It may well come down to Poizner vs. Villaraigosa.

It seems you preferred Angelides over Arnold and now prefer communist Villaraigosa over Poizner.

Quit posting your lies, FO. I never preferred Angelides.

I do, however, prefer someone who at least embraces the Republican platform and will work toward conservatism, not someone who tears apart the entire Republican party, undermines republican candidates and promotes a liberal agenda.

There are 4 years to plan--we can do better than recruiting a wimpy liberal like Poizner.
