But don't be fooled. Pete Wilson is not irrelevant. Pete Wilson fronts for one of the most organized, poliyically successful business cartels in California. In 2002 Pete Wilson was approaced by the cartel in Orange County, California to form a government that was favorable to business. Wilson gathered his old political team together and selected an actor to front for the group. The New Majority financed the program and the rest is history.
PING!!!

yeah...orange county....Now run By democrats.
It’s time to make Petey “f***ing irrelevant.”
Vote McClintock.
This bears repeating:
” ...if Wilson wanted to be more truthful in his letter he should have written, “When I spearheaded a major statewide increase in the sales tax, I couldn’t count on Tom McClintock. He refused to vote to raise taxes.”
By the way, a $7.3 billion tax increase is not a major increase, it is a monumental increase, an increase of stupendous proportions.
He’s involved at this very moment in getting the Sacramento Kings a new site at Cal Expo, our state fair site and it’s not clear yet if this will be at state expense, or not! He’s wheelin and dealin with the Maloofs, like he was still Governor, or something!!! Makes me intensely nervous!!!
State Senator Tom McClintock is the California lite version of John McCain. McClintock has often been at odds with the state Republican Party and other Republicans in the state legislature.
It’s not likely to make much difference. Pete Wilson is very much yesterday’s news.
There is little doubt that Tom McClintock will be the nominee.
For all the hand wringing and moaning by “conservatives” about our national situation- The Ose/McClintock Battle hits at the core of the problem- McClintock is a bonafide, principled, down the line conservative - MILLIONARE Ose is a RINO (think homosexual marraige, Tax and Spend, Abortion, Anti gun etc.) in the tradition of the Arnold. They’re running in a very conservative district but many of the establishment “conservatives” are backing Ose for what I can only assume are politically expedient reasons- McClintock can certainly be competitive for the former Doolittle seat- If we don’t fight for solid conservatives at the grassroots we will never see them at the top of the ticket!
In 1994, Wilson made illegal immigration a campaign issue. To this day, some elements of the Right still regard WIlson as a hero for being pro-=border security.
He may not have been a conservative but by CA standards he was. He's certainly more conservative than Schwarzenegger.
