#1 That should read "RINO McCain Gains..."

#2 "I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam..." - Mitt Romney

#3 Does the dummy McClain think that the Schwarze is well liked and respected by the California Republican Party after he has sold them out repeatedly and joined the Mexican Mafia in the legislature? Fool. Rino embracing Rino.

#4 That is like Bill endorsing Hillary. Both are RINOs.

#5 Schwarzenegger is the most popular politician in California, by far. Just like Bill Clinton, if he were able to run beyond his second term he would be a shoo-in. Thems the facts, palatable or otherwise. RINO or not, he carries weight. An endorsement by the ideologically pure but irrelevant would be irrelevant.

Back in the day I had some dealings with leftist factions (in my old country), and they acted much like Republican factionalists sometimes do here, and more so now than I have ever seen. The lesson to learn is that those leftist factionalists were irrelevant in large part because they were such factionalists, and hated each other so passionately over what to outsiders seemed like minor ideological differences. They could not take half a loaf or drink out of the half-full glass. Perspective is necessary.

#7 Please correct the headline to read:

Republican Democrat McCain gains Schwarzenegger endorsement


If Romeny doesn't pull out a miracle on Tuesday we are doomed. Nobody I know (and I know lots and lots of Trunks) is going to vote for McCain. We will all stay home and Hillary will win. Frankly, he is a Donk. I would rather Hillary be the President than him because at least in 2010 we would have a good chance at picking up some seats in congress as the out-of-power party.

#8 "I would rather Hillary be the President than him because at least in 2010 we would have a good chance at picking up some seats in congress as the out-of-power party."

My old Spanish granny would have called this a "consuelo de bobo" - a foolish rationalization. There is no reason to expect a shift to Republicans in Congress as a result of Democrats holding the Presidency, and certainly not enough to take back control. Its just an excuse to persist in unrealistic thinking.

#10 Thank you for the useful perspective, buwaya. I'm looking forward to all this being over, so we can get back to concentrating on the war. Although, I'm not looking forward to discovering which Rantburgers get so upset over ideological differences that they leave in a huff and never come back. Too many of my favourite people disappeared after 2004, and I miss their insights dreadfully.
