Please post local, regional, national news and views on Tom McClintock. The following guidelines for posting are per DoughtyOne's most excellent suggestion yesterday. McClintock Camp - Supporters or Defenders I would like to ask you all to please post positive articles about your man's policies and leave the Schwarzenegger bashing to the Democrats. Schwarzenegger Camp - Supporters or Defenders The call for McClintock to withdraw right now, or the tactic of calling him and his followers names for not doing so, is not productive and isn't good for the party. IN OTHER WORDS, SAVE THE RINO ARNIE/UNELECTABLE TOM RANTS FOR...

Posted on Drudge and Smoking Gun: The California recall campaign is officially getting dirty...

On Hannity now!

Schwarzenegger trying to limit scope of debates CAMPAIGN SEES `A TWO-MAN RACE' WITH BUSTAMANTE By Dion Nissenbaum and Ann E. Marimow Mercury News Sacramento Bureau SACRAMENTO - As part of a strategy to drive the direction of the recall, Republican front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign is attempting to block challengers from taking part in televised debates that could boost their popularity. Instead of taking the stage with a group of contenders, Schwarzenegger's team wants to appear only with Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante. ``We think the polls are showing this is a two-man race,'' said one Schwarzenegger strategist who asked not...

7:51 PM PDT, August 26, 2003 Outsider’s Quick Turn as Politician Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign is led by Sacramento insiders who ran the state for most of the 1990s, then went to work for some of the special-interest groups whose influence he promises to curb. By Michael Finnegan and Joe Mathews, Times Staff Writers Day by day, the outsider image that Arnold Schwarzenegger has taken pains to project is clashing with the reality of his campaign. The California gubernatorial candidate who vowed to "clean house" in Sacramento, after what he suggested would be a campaign financed with his own millions, has...

David Dryer is talking about a poll that was done by ABC over the weekend that shows: AS - 45% Busta - 29 Mclnt - 11% on the Hugh Hewitt show now.

Please post local, regional, national news and views on Tom McClintock. Please no RINO Rants, Naysayer Negativity and/or inane comments. This thread is for the conservatives who support Tom McClintock and/or those who are interested in learning more about him and his campaign.

According to this NY Times article, from last Wednesday, at his press conference after his economic summit, "Mr. Schwarzenegger said ... that he did not support Proposition 54, which would prohibit the state from collecting racial data. That initiative will appear on the same ballot as the recall on Oct. 7." (read down in article) If you oppose quotas and reverse racism, this should make you think twice about Arnold.

Will tough questions be asked? Will they be answered? GO MCCLINTOCK GO!

The Kindergarten Candidate In a movie released in 1990, Arnold Schwarzenegger played big city undercover Detective John Kimble, who along with his partner Pheobe O'hara played by Pamela Reed, were sent to a school in Astoria, Oregon.  Schwarzenegger's character was inserted into the school as a kindergarten teacher to find a paroled killer and drug dealer played by Colin Crisp.  The Chrisp character's son Dominic was a pupil and his ex-wife played by Penelope Ann Miller was another teacher in the school.  A significant part of the movie found Schwarzenegger's character dealing with young children under his charge, finally...

Submitting as a request for comments (feedback) by fellow Freepers (please Freepmail me with your comments) -- Unity Pact: Compete, then coalesceRepublicans, As you know, we have a historical opportunity to remove from office our corrupt and inept governor, Gray Davis. However, we face a crisis that results from our running multiple candidates against a single Democrat challenger. The nightmare scenario is that Davis ally – Democrat Cruz Bustamante – becomes the next Governor of California because Republicans divide their votes amongst several candidates. An enormous amount of work went into making this recall election a reality and it would...

Who says Arnold S's strategy of not talking to reporters and not announcing policy positions isn't paying off? Why, he's already won the support of Rob Lowe and M.C. Hammer. In fact, his chief financial adviser, Warren Buffett, made all kinds of headlines last week when he argued to the Wall Street Journal that the property-tax-limiting Proposition 13 should be revisited and rejiggered. The prospect of another exodus of rich Californians had a salutary effect on tax officials in surrounding states, struggling to balance their own budgets, who could be heard chanting, "Go Arnold go!" Republicans hopefully point to Governor...

The Golden State, The Trojan RINO and The Man Who Said “Nigger” Exclusive commentary by Patrick Rooney Director of Special Projects BOND Aug 18, 2003 “Welcome to California—Now Go Home!” said the old bumper sticker. That’s what I want to tell those “experts” who think they know what’s best for us. I was born and raised in the Golden State. And like a lot of Californians, I’ve come to a certain ambivalence about it. Love the weather. Love the beaches. Love the mountains. Love the opportunity. Too bad the people have screwed it all up. Ronald Reagan was once our...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "You have to do everything possible to win no matter what." [Advertisement] "I was born to be a leader. I love the fact that millions of people look up to me." His opponents say they don't know where he stands on the issues, but a group of tongue-in-cheek admirers have mined Arnold Schwarzenegger's past comments for hints about his beliefs and on Monday posted as an impromptu voters guide for the Oct. 7 recall election. Welovearnold.com is the latest creation by the founders of a hugely popular Web site that paid homage to the dicta of...

Schwarzenegger Adviser Buffett Hints Property Tax Is Too Low Targeting State's Proposition 13 Is Unlikely Republican Stance By JOSEPH T. HALLINAN Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Warren Buffett, the billionaire financial adviser to Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign for California governor, strongly suggested in an interview that the state's property taxes need to be higher. Mr. Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., took on California's famous Proposition 13, which has limited property taxes there since 1978. As an example, he pointed out the difference between his own property-tax bills for homes he owns in California and Nebraska. His home...
