California Republican Liberty Caucus supports McClintock
Republican Liberty Caucus ^ | August 17, 2003 | Scott Jordan, California Chair

California Republican Liberty Caucus endorses Sen. Tom McClintock for Governor The California Republican Liberty Caucus has announced its support of Senator Tom McClintock in the upcoming recall of the disastrous Gray Davis. The State Board of the California RLC has issued the following statement: “Tom McClintock’s broad experience, proven team-building talents and positions on key issues make him the best choice for California. He is a committed and effective advocate of small government and individual liberty. In a field that exceeds 100 candidates, Tom stands out as the one with the best chances of rescuing California from the deep hole Gray Davis has dug for it. In particular, Tom McClintock has identified three key policies to revitalize California’s economic climate and reverse the tide of red ink, irresponsibility and conflict-of-interest that have characterized the past four years of single-party control of Sacramento: (1) Rescind the tripling of the car tax; (2) Void $42 billion in overpriced electricity contracts, and (3) Reform the workers compensation system. “Tom McClintock is running a grass-roots campaign. He is not a millionaire funding his own campaign. He is counting on concerned Californians to propel his candidacy with their own energy and enthusiasm. Tom is one of the good guys in Sacramento and well-deserving of every citizen’s support. The California Republican Liberty caucus (http://ca.rlc.org) urges every Californian to support the most experienced, principled and proven candidate in the race: Senator Tom McClintock.” The Republican Liberty Caucus is a grass-roots group devoted to core Republican principles of individual rights, limited government and free enterprise. The RLC works actively to elect candidates and voter initiatives that advance liberty and support Thomas Jefferson’s credo, “He governs best who governs least.”

No kidding. After the seven month campaign he has run, you would think he would have come out with his positions. I mean how long does it take to organize a campaign? A few weeks? Arnold had better get with the program!

You won't hear that from me. We have several weeks to go, and whoever is the front runner at the time will get my vote. I'm guessing whoever is number 2 and 3 will drop out a couple weeks before the election. This is not a primary, but a general election. We either unite to win, or divide to elect Bustabudget.

If you think you can organize a campaign in a week, you really should offer your services to the highest bidder, as I'm sure they would be interested. I find it amusing that people are attacking Arnold before he has publicly stated his positions.

If you don't think Arnold is a credible candidate, you should be upset that the Cali Pubs can't do any better.

He hasn't rebuked his 'top economic advisor' over the call to raise property taxes.

Actually he did get around to it: Schwarzenegger also released a statement saying he talked to Buffett about Proposition 13, "and he clearly understands my strong unequivocal support for the initiative." link

"I think they can. But for some reason, some people are equating movie star status and roadkill curiosity by the press with 'leadership' qualities."

Yea, all those movie stars that ran in the last election. Because of them, we don't hold even one statewide office.

As I said, I think most Arnold supporters believe Arnold is the most likely Repub candidate to defeat Bustabudget. Essentially the governorship is Arnold's to lose. If he comes out with the "wrong" positions, he will plummet in the polls. I'm guessing Tom would be the next best bet, depending on how he does in the coming weeks. There is plenty of time for this thing to go in any direction, except perhaps to leave Davis in office!

P.S. Be careful about disparaging actors turned politicians, some think one of them was a decent governor and president. ;)
