Schwarzenegger: McClintock a Pawn of Pro-Bustamante Indians

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."

You're not smart enough to hide it.

The problem with you is you don't listen.

"LOL...liquidity is a good thing!" I plan well, LOL! All of my belongings may weigh 10K lbs. I learned to live light while in the service. Everything is transitory except my investments. Texas really looks good to me right now!

"I'm not employed by anyone in California currently."
and if bustamente gets elected, they won't be able to employ you in the future either... that includes subcontracts, or purchasing, or even book purchases...
Since you don't live here, tis no big deal to you or tom, right? Let california crash... as long as the dems get the blame, who cares how many lives this ends up destroying?
You portend great care for preborn children... but don't give a flip about MY kids, or grandkids lives? Then you tell stories about hillary being connected to Arnold financially, and don't offer solid proof?
you are the REAL expert tom...
An expert at self marginalization... and YOUR ilk are personally going to be responsible for marginalizing ANY hopes that Tom ever had for influencing conservative policy in this state... beleive it or not...
and YES I would still vote for Tom, if Arnold dropped out before the election... but this dissemblative attitude permeating his campaign and follwers... I think its simply best for the hard righties to get out, and ruin some other party for a few years... like pat did the reform party...
Like I said.. prove it. I would be interested to see such things in recognized source format... but have no interest in fabrication.
Is there or is there not a financial paper trail connecting Hillary Clinton financially with the Campaign of one, Arnold Schwartzenegger?
guilt by association is NOT enough for me or MOST conservatives... gotta have solid proof.
Out of the mouth of TWO or THREE witnesses let every word be established... and right now, YOUR word does NOT count as even one witness, just a politically driven opinion... from five states away.
later dude.

links, articles, dates, check numbers... anything else is just your opinion which does not count.
To: BobS
Texas is a great place. Just about any climate or landscape you might want. And they wised up over the last 25 years and threw out most of the RATs! ;-)
To: EternalVigilance
The more I know about McX the less I like him, and I get to vote!
