I'll take the real deal over a shrill shill any day.
Tom's picks mean a lot to me. You bet I use Tom ~ he wouldn't recommend a pick he didn't endorse.
I know where he's coming from.
You, OTOH...
You've been shilling for Arnold since almost the day you signed up, before he even declared his candidacy in the Recall election. You were asking Republicans to hold their nose and support him then, the same as now. That's the only thing consistent in your posting history.
You typically get personal when you can't justify yourself.
Tom is the best conservative hope we have in this election.
I look to him and to Roger Hedgecock for their take on prop picks, which I find more cogent than yours.
I get personal? I got jumped on on this thread for, of all things, wanting to READ an initiative before deciding (the Horrors!). For that, I was accused of standing with the ACLU and Angelides! I guess that doesn't bother you at all. Nah. How many times have you come on these threads to spew your DICC labels on conservatives?
My record stands on its own, DL. I'm a conservative and support the Republican platform.
Anybody can confirm that by viewing my posts.
As to the propositions, I won't rely on any politician's recommendation alone--I'll read them myself and make up my own mind. Blindly following recommendations is what gets us in trouble. George Deukmejian, a conservative, was one of those pushing Prop 111 that gutted the prior spending caps. The devil is in the details, and sometimes even those we trust get it wrong.
What exactly did I not justify? Please be specific.
Democrats in Conservative Clothing
You missed my question in #45.
No, dear. I just refuse to make this about you anymore.
Tom is who I support, and therefore his support of Arnold.
My enemy is their enemy.
It appears you just want to post unsubstantiated slurs, and when called on it you head for the hills.
Such honorable behavior! /s
No hills here, dear.
I see, according to you ,supporting a Republican against far left Democrats is "shilling", but bashing the Republicans, never criticizing Dems, and helping Dems get elected is the "true conservative" thing to do -- according to you.
Thanks for clarifying this for us.
Twist, twist, twist. To you, any criticism of our liberal Governor (R) is characterized as "bashing", no matter how many democrats he stands with and no matter how many Republicans he opposes. (Bonds, budgets, etc--check the votes, FO). I am not helping any democrats get elected--I am trying to get folks to act and hold our Republican elected officers to their campaign promises. And, for the record, I criticize democrats every day--and liberals of all stripes (see tagline).
"I am trying to get folks to act and hold our Republican elected officers to their campaign promises"

1. Arnold KEPT his campaign promises, the VOTERS defeated his reform propositions -- so blame the voters.
2. "getting folks" all riled up AGAINST Arnold, which IS very clearly what you are doing, has the DIRECT result of Angelides having a better chance to get elected, therefore you ARE HELPING ANGELIDES get elected.
You just don't like people pointing out the obvious, so perhaps others start to think about your real motives.
