Maybe you'd know who Tom McClintock is if you weren't from Gary Locke/Patty Murray/Maria Cantwell's home state.

Do a find in forum for the illustrious Dr VanNostrand.

He's been posting ANTI-McClintock stuff before today.
Now he's posting PRO-McClintock material.

MAYBE he's trying to show both sides.
OR maybe he's trying to stir things up.

You decide.

I know who McClintock is and he's a legit conservative. But being from NY like yourself we know that principle doesn't win elections. Futhermore, being a card-carrying conservative in a blue state is like carrying a signed execution order.

The only state that is more infested than NY in terms of the pseudo-pinko culture is CA. No way a man like Reagan ever gets voted into any statewide office again because the counter-culture rules out there. It has been dripping south from SanFran since the 60's.

I understand that Arnold is by no means a conservative and can only be compared to Reagan by his movie career. But the bigger picture here is that with him as Gov., the state comes into play for 2004 and beyond. If he sticks to his fiscal guns and puts the state right, the GOP won't simply write the state off anymore. Even if he agreed with the abortion plank, no way he would change the killing-culture anyway. My point is that even if McClintock is the "right guy", he's the wrong guy for CA now and forever. I wish it weren't so but CA is one F'ed up place.

There is a time for one to stand up for principle and there is a time for one to bide his time and wait for the moment.
The latter is one of those times.
