1. Arnold generously offered to fundraise for McClintock, so your assertion that "they" don't talk to him are factually incorrect.
2. McClintock, on the other hand, is siding with the Democrats, AGAIN, working against the Republican governor, as he did during other Republican governors: Deukmejian and Wilson.
"Brulte said he expected the borrowing proposal to pass the Senate eventually. But Sen. Tom McClintock (R-Thousand Oaks) said he would vote against it, and other Republicans interviewed Wednesday echoed concerns already raised by Burton and other Democrats."
Spinning again with your usual subjective interpretations I see. Offering to raise money is a very different thing than consulting him on the budget.

As if McClintock's and the Democrats reasons were the same? That's a pretty tortured piece of logic, even from you. He's trying to get them to cut spending first. Isn't that what we need? So far, all Arduin has accomplished is to echo existing numbers on how serious the macroscopic situation really is. It's going to take months for her to find out where the money is squirreled away in literally thousands of little scams. The bureaucracy isn't going to help.
So "fair" of you to mischaracterize while not pointing out the basis for his concerns. Typical.
