Salute, Tom!

[mike_9958]

Yeah - let me be the first to "thank" Tom.... way to go, and take one for the team (sarcasm)

What a putz. We finally have a chance and our egos get in the way..... I hate it when we act like democrats.

Endorsements are nice, but are ultimately appeals to authority.

Simon and Issa never had a prayer at getting my vote when they were in the race... why would I let them direct my vote now?

Tom McClintock —
Breaking His Promise
Trashing His Party
Wrecking the State
"ON PRINCIPLE"

It's time to say it.....

McClintock is a RINO!

Up to now, it's been Tom and principle, Tom and his issues, Tom and "real" conservatism, and so forth. Now, with the endorsements swinging significantly in Arnold's direction, Tom's campaign is "All About Tom." He's showing that he's not interested in the interests of the Party; he's interested in Tom. He's not a team player; he's just plain Tom, and it's all about him. This close to the election, the focus should be the interest of the Republican Party. Tom apparently isn't interested in the Republican Party, hence, Tom is the "Republican In Name Only."

Political observers believe the Simon endorsement will be beneficial to Schwarzenegger because it will make him more palatable for conservative voters who would not otherwise vote for him because of his liberal views on many social issues.

On the contrary. It makes Simon completely unpalatable to this conservative. Simon is a complete failure, a loser of the first rank.

Was Issa endorsing Arnold any surprise? Here’s what the snake said a month ago:

In late August, I met Darrell Issa and asked him about the Republican split. He asked, ''When's your story running?'' Assured I wouldn't scoop the convention, he said, with a knowing smile, ''It'll get much clearer at the convention.'' He planned to endorse Arnold on the first night.
''We'll see how Tom McClintock feels when he sees his political career going down the toilet, '' Issa said.

Peter Uebberoth will follow I am sure.
He listed the Irvine Company as his employer per opensecrets.
Not much doubt where his alliances lead either.
