Too bad he didn’t say that to Calderon’s face.
Too bad none of the Republicans in the house had the balls to stand up and deliver that message back to Calderon while he was in the house chambers.
I’m not sure if the House procedures would have permitted an immediate response on the floor of the House. The important thing is that you have the imagery of the Dem seals applauding an attack on America by a foreign leader, while the Republicans scowled. That footage needs to be put together with McLintock’s response and send to every house in America. The Dems are traitors to their own country and I mean legally and substantively, not just metaphorically.
Yes, that would be more effective.
(rolls eyes)
But still 100% wrong...
How many people do we know in our lives who have it so together they serve as examples of what to do/think/be in all circumstances?
Yours is a politically mature outlook.
There was so much flack from the media when Joe Wilson, correctly, called Obama a liar, that the Republicans are very careful now not to engage in that type of direct confrontation during a speech (even though that’s exactly what Calderon deserved). I think McLintock’s approach was the right way to proceed, but it will be a wasteed effort unless clips from his statement are turned into a broad-based advertising effort. That needs to be done now, not in the fall.
Because after numerous attempts, Mr McClintock has figured out Calif Repubs do not have the guts to vote for him. He's a straight up guy which makes him an ill fit for a crooked state.
Who is TR?
BRAVO BUMP!!
Fantastic & a BUMP!
I think you should specify what you think Beck has said and refute it.
And remember, Wences went to Harvard. Think of his law reviews and essays. Consider being the grader. Stop wondering why so many bars exist in Cambridge.
Definitely bookmark
Whitman is deservedly sinking fast. The more people see of her, the repulsiveness is clear.
McClintock for President 2012!

the youtube video (or facebook)is even more impressive

The pubs should have walked out. Being nice to libs and such as Calderon is a losing strategy.
Getting along is losing.
They’re not Californians......Boxer is a transplant from New York.......Pelosi is a transplant from Maryland........Feinstein is from San Francisco, and is therefore some sort of an alien species, unknown to real native Californians.
“Rep. McClintock may now take a seat alongside Rep. Bachman, Gov. Brewer, and former Gov. Palin.”
Tom was there first, waiting for them to catch up, and that is the reason we in Placer County invited him to move into our district, northeast of Sacramento, and run for the seat formerly held by John Doolittle.......Tom has always been the voice in the wilderness of the California legislature...... representing Simi Valley in southern California.......
Tom is a wellspoken, thoughtful, and a consistently Conservative man.......some day I hope he will run for the Senate......Not only California, but also the Nation benefits from his presence in the US Congress.....
