Can't the Republicans find a REAL candidate???
Ronnie the actor, George the dimestore cowboy, Arnold the bodybuilder turned terminator.

There must be something terribly wrong with the Republican party if they can't find one real statesman to win an election.

1. In politics today, a real candidate is anyone who can win
Edited on Wed Aug-06-03 09:01 PM by Democat
Arnold can probably win against Davis, so we need a better plan.

The Democratic Party seems to have missed the truth about politics today. Politics are not about integrity, playing nice, making friends, or playing by the rules, they are only about winning at all cost.

If you win, you can do anything you want, for the good or the bad of the people.

If you lose, you have no power to do anything.

Maybe that sucks, but that's how politics work in 2003. You either play that way or you give away everything to those willing to play that way.

2. Yes they do have some REAL candidates!!!
Just look at Darryl Issa and Bill Simon. They are mainstream moderates who can appeal to the vast majority of people.
Wait A Minute, no they CAN"T!!!!!!!

I guess the Republiklans can't get any REAL candidates!

5. They still do control the House, Senate, and Governorships
Something has to be done to curtail this nonsense.

I think Dean is the answer.

4. Can't the Democrats find a REAL Democrat?
Davis's ass is grass. Rightly or wrongly, everyone hates him. Arnold is as RINO as they come and will probably have more trouble with the wacko Repubs than he will with the Dems. It's time the Democrats in California started to get real. Just like they hung on to Torricelli too long and almost lost New Jersey to a complete loser. They are as far out of touch from their side as the Republicans from theirs.

6. You are right
Davis is probably done and we only have a few days to field another candidate.

The lawsuits might or might not stop this mess, but we need a candidate because the court cases are by no means predictable.

7. Repukes
There aren't any honest good republicans. It's not in the definition of their party.
