Times<\/a>, they are bound and determined to stay that way.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Republican activists disenchanted with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Thursday that they will try to strip the governor of the party&#8217;s endorsement unless he fires his new chief of staff, Democrat Susan P. Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>Restive Republicans said they would rally conservatives behind a resolution, to be offered at the state GOP convention in San Jose next month, that may give Schwarzenegger an ultimatum: Dump Kennedy by March 15 or the party will withdraw its backing of his reelection bid.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cobb asks why I don&#8217;t become a Republican; it&#8217;s simple. They act like morons.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the deal, Republicans. You&#8217;ve managed, in a historic accident, to elect a moderate to the governorship of California, a state where the money and concentration of votes are still in the deep blue Bay Area and core of Los Angeles. The likely candidates that will replace him are both liberals.<\/p>\n<p>Either you share the Kossak&#8217;s delusional belief that everyone secretly agrees with you, and that the masses, once led by your revolutionary ardor, will rise up!&#8230;or you just like getting your asses kicked.<\/p>\n<p>In the same sense that I want the national Democratic Party to be an effective one because I think we need a real two-party system, I&#8217;d like it a lot if we had a California Republican Party that could do more than buy canapes for it&#8217;s leadership at beachside soirees and funnel money upward to the national party.<\/p>\n<p>So go ahead an excommunicate Arnold. I&#8217;ll probably go on supporting him (depends on who runs against him), and you&#8217;ll become increasingly irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the rumaki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armed Liberal says California Republicans are acting like morons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/973"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/973\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
