California Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom McClintock, who trails only Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante in opinion polls, is barred from publishing a position statement in the voter's guide for the Oct. 7 recall election because he did not fill out the required form according to guidelines.

Hillary believes in private ownership of guns? Hillary believes in capping government spending? Hillary believes in encouraging home ownership? Hillary would have openly supported George W. Bush for President in a hostile environment? Hillary would have praised Howard Jarvis as the original tax terminator? Hillary would have been big fans of Milton Friedman? Hillary would have publicly rebuked Warren Buffett for his opposition to Prop 13? Hillary would put the conservative Hoover Institute in charge of the audit, and appoint its members as his advisors? Hillary opposes partial-birth abortion, and favors parental notification?
I didn't know any of that.
And still don't.

I am not sure what your point is. Much of Arnold's recent positioning is an echo of positions he has taken in the past. McClintock doubled his support in the last week; that's not news?
Admittedly, I believe it was a costly mistake.
However, please, let's not lose perspective altogether. For example, mistakes such as these are (I believe) not uncommon and the real question for me is how many of the other candidates made similar mistakes which were overlooked by the SoS?
McClintock's poll numbers have doubled within the last week? That's good news, and I expect they'll keep getting higher as Republicans of the state decide they prefer a principled conservative over a RINO Dick Riordan clone.
If that is true, then probably because those fundraising caps are silly at best. Donation limits, spending limits . . . both artificial, dumb, and sometimes unconstitutional.
Why would that concern you anyway?
And if he loses, that's also God's will?
Heck, why bother to campaign?
And you hate children and puppies and America. Geez, can't you form a partial thought without attributing opinions to other people and attacking them?
If Arnold was a Democrat (and he is), would you be so upset?
Well said spiff!
Considering the reason for a special election in the first place, one has to assume the Democratic party see's that they are loosing the battle in the first place, with "Gray-out", and if they had any political interest (LoL's!)in the outcome of this special election then sure they are going to stay on the offensive and gain as much ground as they can even if it's a small gain, it would be better than forfeiting the game.
A vote for Arnold is a vote for saving what's left of the "self-destroyed" liberal agenda. It may be a small gain for them, IMHO, but it beats total copitulation on their part.
From the WND article:
----------------------------------------
.....he amended his form and refiled it one day before the Aug. 9 deadline. But the secretary of state's office refused to accept it, contending the rules prohibit amendments, although this is not indicated anywhere on the form.
The 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled Thursday McClintock had the right to amend his form, but it did not see evidence the document was turned in on time. Due to a mixup, the court did not receive a faxed copy of McClintock's form, which shows he submitted it to the secretary of state's office before the deadline.....
When McClintock's team turned in the evidence to the superior court, the court refused to accept it, for reasons unknown to Ackerman and Stoos.
-----------------------
(My note: the faxed form would have been coming from the recorder office.... just because some of you on the right don't like the guy dosent mean the libs aren't trying to screw him if they can)
---------------------------
But it is the box he checked that has me concerned. He checked a box indicating he would not abide by a voluntary fundraising cap of $6 million. Why?
Maybe because he very much of a conservative mind set like most of us here .....I know when I fill out don’t check off any voluntary info, donation or restriction
.....................Look you may no like the guy... you may not think he’s got a chance.... but he is a conservative that been fighting a lone guard action for years in this state against overwhelming odds and warn people... he predicted what would happen to this state when the Dem were just “party on” and most of the Republican just went with the flow to get there perks
If Tom was in this for the money, power, or ego he would be personally much better life if he would just “go with the flow” but he saw and knows the flow in California is down the drain
Oddly I would say no one on this board is a “go with the flow” type person
Look being a conservative a lot of times means being the “Lone voice crying in the wilderness” I think we have all been there at some time or another
Again, this is a smearing and unfounded assertion against much sourced evidence to the contrary. I've long admired many Freepers from afar and you are one of them... If your case supporting McClintock is so strong (which it is, he is a tremendous candidate), why do you feel it necessary to distort the facts about Schwarzenegger?
REAGAN MAN:This is inappropriate rhetoric.
Well, Reagan Man, as much as I appreciate your thoughts, I have to say that Calling RINOLD "Schwartanazi" is no more inappropriate than Rush calling people Feminazis.
I for one think it's very appropriate since RINOLD supports the same policy as the Nazis, which is to allow the death of millions of innocent people (in RINOLD's case it is unborn children).
As offensive as it sounds, it is, in fact, true.
Nice try. Tell me, was McClintock's father a member of the Nazi Party?
