McClintock on Hannity Show Now!

McClintock talking to Sean Hannity right now...

[strela]

[sounds of crickets chirping in the background]

I think that people are still waiting for you to answer the question posed to you in Post 229 by Diddle E. Squat:

Answer the simple question: Are you Rick Hasen? Yes or no.

[tpaine]

I forgot. Sue me.

-- Our boy 'chancy' never bothers to rebut the truth, in any case... Smart fella.

[Poohbah]

Crickets...

What kind of choice is that?

A choice you may face.

Schwarzenegger came to the race with a built in 10% disadvantage. His handlers knew he would never appeal to the far right in California. A volcal group that represents about 10% of the votes cast in statewide elections.

Schwarzenegger's challenge was to carve enough from the center to overcome this disadvantage. He may well do that but thus far he hasn't.

Further aggravating his problems are the moderate Republicans who are attempting to sway that 10% with pragmatic logic and humilitation. It won't work. That 10% fled their Republican Party loyalty because they are ideologues and ideologues respond neither to pragmatic logic nor intimidation. The harder they are pushed, the more their resolve in their core beliefs is strengthened.

I find it amusing that Republican moderates are now flocking to this forum and are surprised that their viewpoint, now matter how logical or pragmatic from their perspective, is not warmly received.

[Delphinium]

I wouldn't blame McClintock for never going on Hannity again.

I agree, I would feel very insulted if I were he. Hannity has really compromiced himself on this one.

Times like these that we see who really has the guts to stand with us.

Are we gonna play this game again? I post a quote from (r)nold and your come off like that. Here's another:

Q: So cloning is not a bad thing?

A: I think it is a very serious issue that cannot be
stopped. It's the same as with nuclear weapons and all
that stuff. The big danger is how you keep guidelines
so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. I
understand why some people that are religiously
fanatic feel uncomfortable with it. But I think that's a
mistake, because using religious grounds to not make
something move forward has always backfired.

I love chirping conservatives!

[Tempest]

At this rate Tom won't even be able to run for Dogcatcher. And I'm sure that a true-believer dog-catcher is going to do us a whole lot of good.

[Stew Padasso]

So tell me, have you had visions of being a dictator and Jesus Christ?

[Bluntpoint]

Of course I was. We all were. :=)

My caretaker imformed me I may have done quite well in grade school.

But for my condition.

[Tempest]

I think Tom said that Bustamante has offered him a job after he's done scuttling the Republican party in California.

[strela]

I forgot. Sue me.

No thanks. Its your own credibility you're damaging, not mine.

[Bluntpoint]

Tom is throwing a picnic after the election for all his supporters:

[PhiKapMom]

A simple yes or no would have sufficed. If you are a lawyer that is part of the ACLU lawsuit to stop this election, then you owe this forum the Truth.

You never did answer but you sure did spin! Even if you turn out to "not" be a lawyer working on the lawsuit, your evasive answers were unworthy of a Freeper IMHO! Absolutely no reason to be evasive and/or spin!

A simple "yes" or "no" was all that was required!

[Poohbah]

I'm tired of that 10%.

You know why? Because they can get 50-90% of what they want--but they turn it down, because it involves a little log-rolling, and then claim that it's all the fault of the RINOs.

Because they often have opportunities to get 100% of what they want, spoil it with their own damn bickering among themselves as to who gets the credit--and then blame the "RINOs" for their own internal feuds.

Because they will go out and deliberately work to split the vote, and then be stupid enough to brag about it--and then blame the "RINOs" for the inevitable GOP retaliation (cutting off walking-around money, et cetera), even when the hammer's being wielded by a rock-solid conservative like Dana Rohrbacher.

Because they will refuse to do the inter-election heavy work--things like organizing (hell, even PARTICIPATING in) letter-writing campaigns to stiffen GOP spines, scream bloody murder when the GOP officeholders cave because they mail is running 20:1 against their position--and then demand that they be the ones to write every bit of the platform in an election year, that they be the ones to call all of the shots in an election year, that they be given control of the money in an election year (so they can dole it out to their drinking buddies), and say that the majority of the party should tote that barge, lift that bale, and do all the heavy lifting, all while being insulted and spat on for being "traitors" and "RINOs."

As far as I'm concerned, they can grow up, or they can shut up. I don't give a damn which one they do, as long as they do it quickly.

Finally, the obsession with McClintock makes Schwarzenegger look weak. If he is such a strong candidate, why can’t he simply go out and campaign rather than worrying about who else is running?

You thought enough of this claim to clip it and post it again as your own.

Please provide any evidence you have that Schwarzenegger is obsessed with McClintock?  The root article didn't provide one specific example, other than to make one blanket statement about his campaign staff and the party in general urging McClintock to drop out.

On the other hand McClintock himself is running around saying Schwarzenegger is afraid to debate him.  He also says Schwarzenegger isn't serious about wanting to be governor if he won't debate him.  That is also a lie.  Willingness to debate is not a requirement to hold office.  It is no indication of whether a candidate is serious or not

It's up to the individual candidate how he gets his message to the public.  Schwarzenegger will be on O'Rielly for thirty minutes this evening.  Why should he give McClintock more publicity by agreeing him to debate him whenever McClintock gets a whim?   His latest is to demand Schwarzenegger debate him one on one at this weekend's convention.

I haven't seen Schwarzenegger say one negative thing about McClintock in public.  You tell me who looks more obsessed with the other candidate.

The voting has started.  Do you not think it a reasonable request to ask the trailing candidate to please withdraw?  Does such a request meet the level of obsession in your eyes.  I don't think so.

This was a lie.  Yesterday you made a quote of a Schwarzenegger comment stating it was made yesterday.  It was actually stated the day before, but you have to have some issue you can dig him over each day, so you lied.

It's silly to describe all of Ah-nold's supporters as "moderate." Plenty of conservatives such as my self will pull lever (or punch the chad if you will) for Ah-nold without giving it a second thought.

[Poohbah]

Recently? No.

Back in elementary school, I had visions of being the principal, so I could fire the teachers and declare that summer vaction would last year-round.
