Schwarzenegger: McClintock a Pawn of Pro-Bustamante Indians

NewsMax ^ | Spet. 19, 2003 | Carl Limbacher

[FairOpinion]

American Indians who are supporting Democrat front-runner Cruz Bustamante in California are also promoting Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock, and GOP front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger is furious.

"I think that as far as Tom McClintock is concerned, I think the question I have for him is, what side is he on?" Schwarzenegger said Thursday. "Is he on the side of the Republicans? Does he represent the Republicans, or does he represent Bustamante?"

Schwarzenegger suggested that the tribes were abetting Bustamante by trying to split the Republican vote.

"They are financing his commercials and TV spots and all that," said Schwarzenegger, who doesn't take money from Indian tribes. "He knows they're financing him not because they want him to be governor. They just want to interfere with the process so that Bustamante wins. He has to decide which side is he on, the Republicans' or Bustamante's."

McClintock called Schwarzenegger's comments "a ridiculous statement by a man who obviously hasn't paid much attention to California public affairs. ... For 20 years, I have fought to protect sovereignty on reservation lands, well before there was gaming.

"If they wanted to hurt Schwarzenegger, they would be making an independent expenditure to hurt Schwarzenegger, and Lord knows there's plenty they could hurt him with."

Assemblyman John Benoit, R-Palm Desert, a Schwarzenegger supporter, told the Riverside Press-Enterprise: "I think the idea of divide and conquer is a tried and true tactic. I can't speak for the Indians, but if there was somebody looking to help Bustamante, this would be the way to do it."

strela,

I live in McC's Northridge district. And his political career is over, trust me:):)

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah, right.

[EternalVigilance]

Allowing you to say so? You troll constantly--like I'm going to stop you from sharing your deep wisdom.

[sruleoflaw]

Arnold is a sick man -- enjoying stuffing a woman's head into a toilet, saying on national tv that he sometimes prefers the pump to coming, group sex, hurling racial invective, dope-smoking and lying about his past.

Sooner or later your pervert is going down...

[68 grunt]

Because of the hypocrisy and greyout and bustamecha getting bagged on for the same thing. bustamecha, primarily. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say tha McC has distinguished himself as another sleazy politician, enabling the liberal agenda in Sacramento. With the power of a motivated and trusting populous, we will lead the nation outta of the morase and into the new renaissance era, with Arnold the Republican Renaissance Man! You, perhaps, do not want to see how badly the people want to hear the truth, albeit ugly, albeit course, and they want to hear it as the can understand it. Just like children can detect the 'white lies' their parents tell, the people detect the lies the politicians tell. In each instance respect and trust is lost, and often eventually falls to disrespect and mistrust.

[nickcarraway]

well, he is way to the right of most those guys, right?

[68 grunt]

I don't get to vote against him, but I hear you, neighbor!

[BobS]

Hang in there, strela,

Our buddy Schwartzie won't have the TIME for any liberal policies those hard-cores are against. We ARE in bankruptcy and the banks own this state! Those out-of staters don't have a clue what a wrench on their income the result of this election can become!

[nickcarraway]

Really? What did you hear? Is Riordan going to back the next Maxine Waters for that district?

[68 grunt]

You are very rude. Silly, also. Vapid, works. Ridiculous! That's the best word for you, ridiculous!

[68 grunt]

Ooooh, you sound so upset. Wonderful! More, please. I like Arnie. I don't think Mcclinton can whistle!

[AppyPappy]

Would you vote for Arnold if he was a Democrat? Same stand on the issues just a different party?

[EternalVigilance]

Our buddy Schwartzie won't have the TIME for any liberal policies those hard-cores are against.

Once upon a time, being a 'hard-core' FReeper was considered a good thing.

Being the 'buddy' of an extreme liberal was considered a bad thing.

But that was before Schwarzenegger 'Republicanism' became the vogue...ah, the good old days...

[BobS]

Hey, thanks!

I think politics is the art of the possible. I am center-right and as things are here, we can only change the direction a few degrees to the right at a time.

[EternalVigilance]

You are very rude. Silly, also. Vapid, works. Ridiculous! That's the best word for you, ridiculous!

Isn't the librarian bugging you to go home yet?

I have had one (ONE, 1) genuine discussion with one (ONE, 1) poster who asked me how I, as a total pro-lifer, could support Schwarzenegger. Very good question. I gave him a thoughtful answer. Whether I changed his mind or not, we had a reasonable discussion.

That was, literally, a singular experience. Including among those who have NO excuse for not knowing me better.

Sooner or later your pervert is going down...

I'm curious what you meant here? After he is elected? Sounds like a pretty ugly and violent inference.

Bless us with your deep wisdom then, Dan.

Just how can a 'biblical Christian' and self-proclaimed 'total pro-lifer' rationalize supporting a candidate who supports abortion and the radical gay agenda?

[BobS]

Oh, come on!

I had those Sore/Loserman bumper stickers on my truck and purposefully drove around Van Nuys, Sylmar, Pacoima and San Fernando in all my glory!
