After reading through this thread it is becomming apparent that Tamsey and many others are frustrated because they have misjudged the nature of this forum.
They can't seem to convince others that Schwarzenegger is an acceptable alternative. Their zeal to succeed is, I fear, frustrated by a false assumption.
The problem for Tamsey et al appears to be that they feel FreeRepublic is a Republican arena. It is not. It is a conservative forum and many if not most on this forum vote their political philosophy, regardless of the candidate's party affiliation or the affect on any political party.
Trying to convince conservatives that a liberal will do is a classic application of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. I suspect that if forum members were polled only a plurality would be registered Republicans.
This "conservative forum" has evolved into a Republican forum among other things. Things change and I think it may no longer reflect the views of the "pure" elite of conservative opinion. We are here, the impure so called conservatives, so I suggest we deal with one another. Unless of course, we want just discourse and no real accomplishment in influencing how this country is run. The country has changed, is changing everyday. How are we going to run it if we establish exclusionary rules.
