Schwarzenegger raising fortune for allies (Republicans)
LA Daily News via MIami Herald ^ | June 6, 2004 | HARRISON SHEPPARD

Posted on 06/06/2004 6:52:01 PM PDT by FairOpinion

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been appearing at fund-raisers for legislative Republicans. The result: millions of dollars in donations.

On May 24, Schwarzenegger raised a record $2 million for the GOP at a glitzy fund-raiser in downtown Los Angeles. And during a Thursday night event in Santa Barbara County, he raised $400,000 for Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks -- four times more than his recall election rival has received at any event during 22 years in elected politics.

So far, Schwarzenegger has attended or committed to fund-raisers for six Republican legislative candidates, including five incumbents. His appearance typically raises about three to five times more than the candidate alone would get.

It's sad that you would pick such a day to attempt to incite discord.

God bless Ronald Reagan.

People have been posting posts bashing Arnold.

I put up a post showing how generous he is, that he actually raised a lot of money for McClintock, do I hear anyone giving any credit to Arnold for that?

And I am the one "inciting discord"?

You could have posted something like "That's really decent of Arnold" or at least some lukewarm show of appreciation, instead you chose to claim that I am inciting discord.

Oh, well.

Thanks for posting this great news for CA Republicans.

Looks like some things NEVER change around here! :)

Give up fighting this battle. It is over. Why continue to sow discord? What does it accomplish? McClintock was my first choice, but I am pleased Arnold won. I am pleased Arnold is helping McClintock out. Is seat is not entirely safe. Again, my wish is that you cease and desist going down this road. FWIW.

There are those in the GOP would want someone completely perfect. They forget even Ronald Reagan departed from ideological orthodoxy when he was Governor Of California. If you guys don't like what Arnold's doing, you'll be enraged when you see what a Democratic Governor would do here - and did.

Folks are free to post their views on Arnold. They disagree with his policies. Is that a sin? I worry myself about some of them, while agreeing with others, and admire his political skill. This place would be really boring, if we all agreed about everything, and did not comment about what we found errant about those in power. This place would assume a state of entropy. Carry on.

Don't listen to the critics. Arnold had done all he can. But that won't be enough for the Tombots.

I only object when those who bash Arnold tell me that I am being "divisive", when I post something positive about Arnold, such as Arnold fundraising for McClintock.

I am glad to hear that.

What's your problem?

I supported McClintock, but he lost. So since the election I have been wishing Arnold all the success in the world, particularly when it comes to killing tax hikes and getting California's fiscal house in order.

You seem to believe that people who supported Tom want Arnold to fail. I do not think for a second that that is true. I think that people who supported Tom want to see Arnold succeed in every conservative initiative he undertakes (like killing tax hikes and getting California's fiscal house in order, for example.).

In the meantime, yes, I am grateful that Arnold is able to raise tremendous amounts of funds for Republicans, including conservatives such as Tom McClintock. But if Arnold suddenly gets too cozy with the goofball liberals out there, it will be duly noted here on Free Republic and Arnold will get beat up. That's okay with you, right?

Regards,
LH

A lot of McClintock's support stems not so much from his conservative stands, but the fact that he ran as an outsider challenging the establishment. Many people find political mavericks appealing. Now that McClintock is accepting campaign aid from Arnold, many of McClintock's supporters will see him as an insider now, and not support him anymore.

In your defense, I should point out that you posted the article at 6:52:01 and you gave McClintock supporters an entire second to post something positive before you snidely rebuked them for not doing so.

Can't you people wait until President Reagan is in his grave before you make him roll over?

For pete's sake. Show some dignity.

If anyone attracted supports for his actual stands, rather than some amorphous rebel stuff, it was McClintock. He won this rather moderate Pubbie over, who is quite establishment oriented. The guy just had it right about the issues that mattered at the time.
