Schwarzenegger: McClintock a Pawn of Pro-Bustamante Indians
NewsMax ^ | Spet. 19, 2003 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 09/19/2003 8:52:17 PM PDT by 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."

Where does your post prove hillary supported arnold?

Those are Robert's words, not mine.

I said that Arnold has surrounded himself with supporters of Hillary Clinton.

And that 'address' is the official Federal Election Commission report of the donation from Buffett to Clinton. You can go there yourself by hitting the link I posted above.

When I pinged that link... I got :
Internal error #1

but a link is exactly what I am looking for.
Especially the one where Hillary wrote a check or gave a contribution to Arnold.

I gotta give you a B for effort.
Thanks.

Some of you are in denial. Some of you are just treacherous liars. I'll leave it to others to decide for themselves who is who.

Just go to the FEC homepage and type in 'Warren Buffett'. It will take you directly to the donation I posted above.

Try this. Type in 'Warren Buffett'.

http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/fecimg/norindsea.html

The FEC obviously doesn't allow you to link directly to the funding records...but it just one short step away by going to this link.

Actually, I missed robert's comment.
What caught my eye is what you said in (I think) post #242:

However, I am glad to see now, that I am not the only one who "called you on it".

Everyone knows Arnold hired Buffet. But that hardly implies that Hillary is financially connected to the AS campaign now does it?

You see, this is why I don't chase links for you all.

You lie and twist and deceive regularly.

You are utterly unfamiliar with the truth.

That's called "Tombot 'Logic'":

"Arnold drinks water. Hitler drank water. So ARNOLD IS HITLER!"

They're just kooks - part of the price you have to pay for a FreeRepublic.

I would rather be a kook on behalf of conservatism than a shill and a liar and a deceiver for a Leftist like you and your friends.

Oh, well, part of the price you have to pay for a FreeRepublic.

I had to try that link you posted six times to get it to work. There must be a few freepers trying to use it at once. Thanks for providing it.(For what it's worth)I got an "internal server error 1" when it first locked up the browser. It was trying to store a cookie on my computer, I think.

You should not get so angry when people ask you to prove what you are saying. We have all done that for years here on FreeRepublic. You knew that, right?
