[A CA Guy]

He speaks his mind and we all know what he says...

What he did and may do in the future is what scares me.
He was betraying the party IMO and causing there to be a split in a major race.
I feel his self absorbed style of career advancement in politics puts conservatism in a dangerous predicament.

He has proved to me that he thinks he's more important than the whole party.

He should be worked against real hard to be staying in small offices or out of politics in general. He's acts like a little Napoleon. That won't do squat for California.

"He has proved to me that he thinks he's more important than the whole party."

You know, if he was just out looking for attention, why doesn't he go join the teachers union in bashing Arnold?

Imagine the headlines: "Leading Conservative Denounces Governor!"

But you haven't seen that from Tom. He has stood behind the governor.

I think I am going to send him a $200 check. You guys have inspired me. The effort to silence a voice that needs to be heard, if only to observe that the emperor has not clothes, simply finds to favor in this quarter. McClintock should just say "nuts" to you hecklers and bearers of old grudges. I suspect McClintock will win the GOP primary easily.

>>He has proved to me that he thinks he's more important than the whole party.

He's proved to me that conservatism and principles are more important than the party.
That is a GOOD thing in my book.
