If you elephants value the voters who put you where you are today – not to mention the future of your party – you had better get to Arnold fast and tell him it is he who needs to drop out, not Tom McClintock.

This is one of the funniest lines I've seen since Dewey beat Truman in '48.

Obviously this retard hasn't noticed that the single issue hard right in California has indeed put the Republicans where they are today...,out of office.

What nonsense.

Well Arnold has moved considerably rightwards since he announced his candidacy and Tom Ambrose's criticism is not completely fair. Given California's circumstances, we may have to settle for someone who is far from perfect. Politics isn't about getting everything on your wish list; its about getting what you can now and fighting for the rest later. How do you think the Democrats brought socialism to California? They didn't do it overnight. We have to learn that taking the country back requires decades of hard work and we're not going to get Americans to all agree with us overnight. And if we insist on all or nothing, no surprise we will end up with nothing.

Because depending upon whose estimates you believe, a minimum of 30 to 40 percent of the Republican Party is composed of religious conservatives. Many conservatives are already suspicious of the party's leadership for not dismantling the Internal Revenue Service and for staying in the United Nations.

Ah, and the "big lie" surfaces again.

The 10% of GOP voters which are persistently threatening to bolt for the whackjobism of the Constimatooshin or Libertarian Parties if the other 90% don't do what they say are not the "base".

What they are is noisy far and beyond their actual numbers, radicalized, and are all too frequently coddled at the expense of good common sense.

What they are is, like this author, sniveling weasels, and the GOP is well to be rid of them.

In particular, there has been an ongoing battle for many years inside both the California Republican Party and the national Republican Party to change the party's platform to support pro-abortion candidates. Additionally, there are many who would like to see Republicans get behind homosexual rights. This is all part of the Big Tent theory, i.e., if you embrace disenfranchised minorities (just as the Democrats do), you can win more elections.

What these bozos who push for this sort of change will erect, of course, is a circus tent. But should they succeed, the Republican Party will forever be relegated to minority status as they watch the tent collapse around them.

 

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.

If conservative voters will walk away from the GOP over taxes, just imagine what religious conservatives will do over the very passionate topic of abortion.

I have to laugh at this.

Many of those "religious conservatives", miffed over taxes, voted for Perot in 1992, who is pro-choice.

Some of these "conservatives" just like to huff-and-puff for attention.
