Looks like someone has an actual plan.

[Those_Crazy_Liberals]

blah blah blah. Will he even break 5% in the end?

[byteback]

I think most of us realize that reduction in government spending is the answer. Now the job is to elect the best salesman.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Our job is to elect someone who will actually do it. We don't need someone who already talks about "providing everything for the people." That is not a fiscal conservative. It is a socialist.

[ambrose]

Don't waste your breath on these out-of-state RINO scumbags. They're a lost cause.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Yes, he will break 5%.

The website is loading slowly. I'm guessing there is heavy traffic on his site.

This all sounds familiar.
> Freeze, or reduce, spending.
> Review all agencies and present a detailed analysis of the waste in them, ala the Grace Commission.
> Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Now, along with tax cuts, what we have here is good ol' fashioned Reaganomics. And we all know how that, pleasantly, turned out.

BTW...been meaning to tell you that Canticle of Deborah is a wonderful nic.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I know, but there are actual thinking California voters who do not swim in the shallow end of the voter pool ;-) McClintock can win through a consistent outreach to the conservative base of this state. We are the ones who turn out rain or shine.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Thank you ;-)

We don't need someone who already talks about "providing everything for the people."

That was a rather disturbing comment. I heard the representative(the one that funded the recall) say on Larry Elder that he thought he really meant provide opportunity like Arnold got when he arrived (as Larry was playing that quote non-stop on his show).

[Solamente]

Maybe Arnold will bring Tom McClintock into his administration?

McClintock can win through a consistent outreach to the conservative base of this state.

Like the outreach we had for Governor Simon?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

The rep was trying to put the genie back in the bottle. The truth is, that is what Arnold really desires. As long as he is out speaking freely expect more slip ups like this one. He wants businesses to come back so he can tax them for social programs. LOL, what business in their right mind is going to consent to that? Even if he manages to get a few back, those businesses will have to raise the price on their product and lower employee salaries so they can meet the tax expectations and still turn a profit. That's not realistic.

He is a socialist. He has absolutely no platform and as of this very moment Richard Riordan is putting together his "issues" team. Watch out. These two are Democrats in Republican clothing.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I strongly doubt it. Riordan is in control now and that is about as far from Tom McClintock as one can get. Remember, Riordan contributes money to Democratic candidates. Riordan is politically left of Davis.

[tubebender]

McClintocks numbers will grow as Arnold crawls back under his rock. Even Fox News was panning him this evening. I don't expect A/S to last till the election...

Like the outreach we had for Governor Simon?

Simon ran a horrible campaign. John and Ken on KFI 640 radio in Los Angeles would put him on the air and give him every chance in the world to state his position on the issues, but he would freeze up. He couldn't but two sentences together without sounding like a bumbling idiot. That's why he lost.

McClintock is polished and has the right ideas. If we can just get him some air time and ink in the papers, people will see that he's the best choice.

[Veggie Todd]

but = put. jeez....

[Hildy]

Excuse me, when did he say this?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

It was in a press conference the day he announced his candidacy. I believe that was last Wednesday or Thursday.
