I know who Tom McClintock is, and consider him to be one of the finest men in American politics today.
I know little about Ose. Can someone give me a quick brief on where this man stands on the issues conservatives care about? I have very good reasons for asking, but don’t have time to do the research myself right now. Appreciate any input from FReepers.
Some of Ose’s votes when he was a Congressman from another district:
