Tribe readies recall TV ads Spots for McClintock a ploy, say backers of Schwarzenegger. By Alexa H. Bluth -- Bee Capitol Bureau Published 2:15 a.m. PDT Thursday, September 18, 2003 The Morongo Band of Mission Indians, supporters of Democratic Gov. Gray Davis and prolific political donors to both major parties in California, will launch television ads Friday to back Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock's recall bid, a tribe spokeswoman said Wednesday. The tribe, which operates a casino in Riverside County, also has contributed to Davis' committee to combat the effort to recall him and to Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, the only major Democrat running to replace Davis.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to have to "circle the wagons".

[Lurking Libertarian]

Curioser and curioser.

Indeed.

I've had enough to talk about without resorting to having fun with McClintock's name, apart from inventing McTickTock.

But last night I saw McWampum. Cracked me up.

This massive amount of money is not being spent by the Morongo tribe because they think McClintock can win- it's money spent to divide the opposition (Republicans). Tom's win-at-any-cost mindset has him collaborating with leftist groups who want nothing more than a divided Right to throw the election to Bustamante. This is an outrage.

Combine this with McClintock's comments to Republican Congressman Dan Burton that he didn't mind Democrats holding the governorship because it could better his chances in 2006 (http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-me-dropout12sep12,1,3944945.story?coll=la-headlines-politics), we should act decisively to censure McClintock for his rabid pursuit of power by any means.

It's past time to see McClintock as merely a misguided crusader. His "stalking horse" candidacy (and collaboration with the Left) must come to an end.
