I personally saw a clip of McC saying, what the LAT quoted him as saying.

He was being sanctimoneous and holier than though.

There are also other articles quoting him.

As someone else pointed out, the liberal media loves quoting McClintock criticizing the plan of a Republican governor 3 days after inauguration. McC can't be so stupid, as not to realize this, so the alternative must be true, he is doing it deliberately, knowing full well, that he is helping the liberals and Dems against Arnold.

Strawman argument. Yeah he does come off that way, but he has been advocating the doing the right things since before Arnie even though about state elective office and maybe that's why he sounds that way. I do care more about the results than about the personalities who get credit for the outcome. Its a free country and McC can say what he thinks. I personally thing that a bond issue is poison. So is raising taxes. What is left - cut spending and reduce regulations. Use initiatives if the legislature won't come around.

Bonds are not tax increases..... as I understand it. They are loans - thereby banking on future prosperity. I don't think that is stupid thing to do - particularly when your forecasting a economic turnaround.

But as in all cases with loans - they are risk, if you have no way in paying them off. I think bonds and spending cuts are both necessary to dig Ca. out of the hole Gray put them in.

Arnold is a successful business man.... not a politician. I'm thinking he's knows how to do this. Its risky from this perspective.... but makes sense.
