Well, as a conservative living in California, I'm not at all sure I am a part of a major party anymore. I don't know when it happened, but I think Al Davis now runs the GOP in CA.....

Giving up too easily is a Conservative flaw. Right flight is what lost academia, labor, the bureaucracy (big or small) to the Left.

"JUST WIN BABY!"

Yes, in politics, first you win. If you don't win, then the other guy does and you get more frustrated and everybody gets screwed.

Hello, CC

Sorry about being grumpy at you on the other thread.
You have always been a good and friendly freeper.

Anyways, I thought this piece here offered a pretty blunt analysis of the California GOP.
I hope you will have a chance to read it and comment.

Regards,
LH

George Neumayr is correct we shouldn't abandon our principles. Arnold told us at the party convention he is a conservative. Now he has to govern like one and if he doesn't - well he won't get another chance in 2006. The truth is I love Tom but he's not going to win. We have to go with the best candidate at this point who can revitalize the Republican Party in California. Right now we have one mission: to terminate the liberals in California.

Victory is not the end, but the means to the end, which is the enactment of the party's platform.

How can you enact the party's platform without winning elections? I've never understood this mentality.

If Arnold gets elected, do you think that the California news media and the California electorate will push him to the left or to the right?

His followers will forgive anything. Clinton redux.

You know it takes a man with iron will to prevent that from happening. The test will be if Arnold has the "Right Stuff." I don't want have to tell my children he turned out to be Bonzo in disguise!

We're NOT forgiving him anything. We're simply holding him to his own words to us. Or that isn't crystal clear to you?

What platform?

You know, the pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien, pro-domestic partnership, anti-RKBA platform.

No, wait, that's next year.

We're simply holding him to his own words to us.

Which ones? Where he supports Proposition 187, or where he says illegal aliens should recieve free public educations? Where he says he opposes gay marriages, or where he says he supports domestic partnerships?

He won't turn it back, he won't slow it down, he'll put the pedal to the metal.
