at least until we’re shocked back to reality,
Right. - What will that take?
Really, because until you actually get rid of that laudable, if not laughable approach, then all of that that “they can do to you is what you will get, and you are the exact type of republican that I posted about.
You have fun paying every tax, fee, and cost, and make damn sure that you pull that lever again. - with a smile to match mine - as I stay far away from that state!
just don’t migrate here with that mindset when it all turns to crap”
You are not too bright if you’d sit on your hands at home and cry to yourself about what a fine moral stalwart you are. Nobody is talking about the primaries pal so the choice is Arnold or Bustamante. You think staying home or voting for a Dem is a better way to make a difference?
You are one of these ‘stick my head in the sand’ conservatives. In this entire exchange we haven’t discussed our individual politics one iota but you can conclude that I’m part of the problem. I can be as conservative as you and fully aware of the problem, however, I’m also in a very difficult position. A position you fail to give credence or respect to. CA will not be a conservative state any time soon if ever. That is our reality when it comes to general elections. To go one step further Arnold is still better than Davis and those that regret the recall are also somewhat stubborn to the point of working against their interests. Your entire position is based on the false premise that CA will someday be a conservative state. So I ask you who would you pull the lever for? Davis? Bustamante? Or would you stay home? And yes I get what I deserve. I live in a state that can be very trying at times. I also live in a state where I’ve seen my home appreciate 700K in 7 years despite the recent downturn and the average salary is very high based on national averages. Wherever you live you have positives and negatives. I’m merely suggesting that you are not taking the proper perspectives for CA.
Gallup had McClintock beating Bustamante one on one, so don't let reality trouble your bogus excuse for falling for Arnold's line of BS.
You are embarrassing yourself with your ignorance. There was no primary; there was a replacement open election in the event the recall succeeded (it did). The top candidates were Bustamonte (D), Arnold (RINO) and McClintock (R). The choice was there, but people like you were to spineless or starstruck or stupid to make it.
