If you read my below post, you'll say, "Hey, I thought you are sick of politics?" I am, but I listened on the radio last night to the California Gubernatornial debates. In brief... Bustamante: Doofus. McClintock: Snore. Arnold was kinda impressive. He had more to say, and was sharper/quicker on his feet than I expected.
Ariana Huffington, however, is a bitch, and a VERY wealthy pawn for the democrats. She hogged the mike, made unfounded PERSONAL attacks, and, IMHO, stuck another nail in the coffin of the democrats' attempts to shake the fact that they HAVE NO FRIGGIN' IDEAS!!!
Picture this: The river in your town is flooding. Everyone pitches in to make sandbags to quell the tide of the water. Ariana stands there saying, "You idiots! How could let the water rise like this!" - over and over, until they all drown because the spot she should have been covering with sandbags let all the water through. This is the dangerous frustration that the Left ferments in every day. The water is our hard-earned money. The hole in the sandbags is all the places she and her ilk think it should go. Not her money, mind you. Just ours. I think, if she could, she would attempt to change the laws so that democrats wouldn't have to actually pay taxes. Caring about the problems would be good enough. Conservatives would have to pay the taxes as a penalty for their perceived lack of compassion.
I've never had as much compassion for anybody as when I've helped them do something on their own, Ariana. Their pride makes me proud.
I won't get into her ACTUAL arguments.
I might get banned. This is a family show.
Welcome back! I knew you wouldn't stay away for too long. I watched part of the "debate" last night and thought that they all sounded like spoiled children. I cringe for the future.

They (the academic liberals) depend on the welfare recipients and government employees for their support. But if they actually accomplished anything with the government, they would eliminate their voting base because the welfare folks would be hard-working wage earners, and there would a lot less government jobs. The only way they can get their political agenda to work is to perpetuate the problems they act like they want to fix.
On the other hand, I find that many (not all) members of the GOP are just as confused. They're not actually trying to reduce the size of the government either. They just argue with the Dems. over which government services to provide. It's as though they all think we need to drive this country straight to hell. The Democrats want to get us there on the interstate, while the Republicans prefer the scenic route.
Posted by: the booth at September 25, 2003 02:06 PMWell put. I'm not really a Republican, just a conservative...It depends on actions and issues...
What are we going to do if Hillary gets elected in 2004 or 2008? I am beginning to store water and food now for H2K8!!
Posted by: methodius at September 25, 2003 03:33 PMi completely agree with the first post. Ariana huffington is a joke of a candidate and definitely a bitch who is just out to screw over as many candidates as she can. every other word out of her mouth was an insult or negative comment. there's not one positive thing i can say about her. i even wanted to go on her website and post negative comments about her, but they didn't have any sort of forum or guestbook. i'd like to see her get the least amount of votes on the ballot and for the public to voice opinions of hatred against her. yea, maybe i'm too hardcore... but she's just a bitch.
i, myself, am a conservative and identify mostly with the republican party. i greatly support arnold and somewhat support senator mcclintok. but i do agree that mcclintock should drop out of the race because he takes more votes away from arnold, the other major republican candidate. thus, splitting republican votes between 2 candidates as compared to idiot bustamante's side which will have a majority of the democratic and virtually all of the latino votes (which may compromise a higher percentage of voters than we might expect).
long story short: I hate that huffington bitch, mcclintock's cool... i think he should drop out, arnold MUST be governor, and bustamante is going to RUIN our economy if GOD FORBID he gets into office somehow.
