Oh, WOW! I finally had an opportunity to read this. This is DEAD ON! When the petition went out to recall Gray Davis, I signed it. When it came time to vote for the governor in the recall election, I voted for Tom McClintock. I did not doubt that there wasn’t a chance in heck of McClintock winning, but I could not, in any good conscience, vote for a flaming liberal, even if he did have an R by his name, was charming, and rode that white horse. You know what? I have never regretted my decision, and and sleep I lose is not over having made a decision to compromise my ethics and standards just to retain power, to get someone in office with an R next to his name. I mean, if I had done that, well, that would make me a liberal, wouldn’t it?
Arnold sold himself as a fiscal conservative. Many trusted him.
He lied.
We got screwed.
End of story.
Well done and well said.
..exactly what I did too...
