Ad Watch: Group backing McClintock bashes rival Ose as a liberal
McClatchy News via SacBee ^ | 5/11/8 | David Whitney, McClatchy Washington Bureau

Posted on 05/11/2008 2:01:29 PM PDT by SmithL

The conservative Club for Growth was an early supporter of state Sen. Tom McClintock in his bid for the Republican nomination to succeed Rep. John Doolittle in the 4th Congressional District. This week the club's political action committee began radio and television ads in an independent campaign against the Thousand Oaks Republican's opponent, former Rep. Doug Ose. Following is the television ad's text and an analysis by David Whitney of The Bee's Washington Bureau:

•ANNOUNCER: Doug Ose has lots of ads, but they leave out several pieces of the puzzle.

Ose had a really liberal record in Congress. He voted to waste billions on pork projects like indoor rain forests in Iowa, peanut competitiveness and the cowgirl hall of fame.

Ose even voted for a Democrat budget and huge new entitlement spending.

Doug Ose – a lot more liberal than he wants you to think.

Club for Growth PAC is responsible for the content of this advertising.

•ANALYSIS: The ad's theme is familiar to anyone in the Sacramento area with a television: Doug Ose is a liberal.

It suggests Ose backed specific money-wasting earmarks while in the House. While Ose's voting record leaned to the GOP's moderate wing, the votes highlighted here aren't good examples.

The cowgirl hall of fame?

Somebody really wants your vote.

Club for Growth are the RINO hunters.

If they say Ose is a RINO ... he’s a RINO.

What’s the big deal? Tom McClintock is by far the better choice.

It’s for real. My brother and sister-in-law took my horse-fanatic
young niece there last summer.
I glad she had a fun time there; I’m not happy to find it was
actually a pork-barrel project.

(looks like they ain’t keeping their webpage updated too often!)

Ose, the liberal, is trying to buy a congressional seat. Tom McClintock is our choice here in Placer county. Tom is a solid, proven conservative.

It’s really tough potatoes for Ose. He had a congressional seat and chose to retire in 2004. (Dan Lungren is his successor) If he wants back in, too bad. He could have least run for the Senate against Boxer in 04 or Feinstein in 06 if he wanted to make himself useful.

Ose, being a liberal rino, would serve no useful purpose in any capacity as a candidate for public office.

Hamburger for a run against Feinstein?

Ose is such a jerk. I don't think he can win in staunch conservative Placer County.

Decided to send McClintock money to help ensure that the McCain wing of the Democrat party doesn't get even a pinkie toe hold in that area!

Help Tom, help the grassroots conservative movement! Send $$$$
