What Tom McClintock put on display here in the CA election for Gov showed he has major ambitions that are personal at everyone else's expense.

----

Like showing up at all the debates and not playing the crowd with a bunch of hype, but rather doing his homework and being prepared with plans and solid proposals that make sense.

Like I just said, you're so far out there, for whatever reason, you make Bob Mulholland look like a piker.

Not only can you not paint the janitor's closet, or anything else, the schools under new California law can't contract any maintenance if they have anyone on the maintenance staff that can do the work, even if it cost more to do the work internally and even if they're not qualified or trained. The union jobs must be protected, costs and public be damned.
There is no question the custodial work cold be done for less, and much better with contract custodians. Same goes for most maintenance.
But would the union workers do when they were turned out on the street and actually had to work for a living.

LA Times, September 26, 2003
Today, Schwarzenegger is expected to announce the endorsement of U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, the San Diego County Republican who financed the petition drive that put the recall on the ballot.

That will undoubtedly keep the campaign focused on the friction between Schwarzenegger and McClintock. Issa told CNN this week that McClintock had promised him months ago that he would abort his candidacy if it looked as if he would be a spoiler for Republicans.

"That is flatly wrong," McClintock said. "Winston Churchill would call it 'terminological inexactitude,' because the word 'lie' was disallowed in parliamentary debate."

Tom McClintock can only get the other Democrat elected if he is ever the nominated candidate for a high office like Governor as Republican.

I wish him all of the success in the world for office of dog catcher, but he's burned too many bridges to ever be a uniting force for the Republicans in California.

It's obvious that the unions last refuge is in government employment and it is unfair to the people to allow them such power and payments with public funds.

Bump. Do the math. Works every time.

The school administrators get fat on these scare tactics.

Simple ask them how much the class room and teacher costs and where does the rest go?

Nice Links!

Most do not address the question posed to you and I can't find one quote, from anyone other than Issa, that the fantasy discussion ever took place.

Why on earth would (car thief) Issa be the only one Tom discussed his campaign plans with? Give me a break. It is beyond incredulous. Issa lied. End of story.

I get that you would like to dilute the issue with all kinds of side issues in some desperate attempt to save McClintock's political career, but that horse won't swim.

No, I'm not trying to dilute anything.
I, and others, would like you to quit posting lies.

Your first reference is according to Issa:

That was the bombshell revelation yesterday from the driving force behind the recall movement, Rep. Darryl Issa, who described to nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity a conversation he had with the conservative favorite several months ago.

Your second reference requires registration. Why don't you quote it this third party who witnessed this "promise"?

Your third reference is according to Issa:

"Tom made a promise to me that he, in fact, wouldn't be a spoiler," Mr. Issa said. "So the pressure is on Tom to decide whether that has become the reality, that he might be becoming a spoiler."

Your fourth reference doesn't say ANYTHING about a promise.

Your final reference is according to Issa:

Mr. Issa said he would decide in the next few days who he believed should get out of the race. But he said that Mr. McClintock had promised him at the start of the recall contest that he would not carve up the Republican vote and be a spoiler.

So far, all you've managed to "prove" is that you DON'T know for a fact that Tom McClintock made that promise; all you know is that Issa said he did.

You have failed.

Reading those articles again proves what a sleaze Issa is. "Driving force behind the Recall movement"?????

Pleaaaaaaaaaase!!! He came in at the eleventh hour and tried to take credit for the whole thing. What a joke.

Issa needs to be replaced, sorry to say that he's my congresscritter.

It will not only take a good candidate but a lot of money to take him out but whatever Republican wins the primary is a shoein in the general election.
