I find it even funnier that you attack Arnold Schwarzenegger for merely attending a meeting with Ken Lay while at the same time ignoring some of Tom McClintock's more ... er, "interesting" donors:

Here are the top 10 donors or lenders to major party candidates for state controller:

TOM MCCLINTOCK (Republican)

2. Fieldstead & Co., which is headed by Orange County financier Howard Ahmanson Jr.: $190,000

One of Mr. Ahmanson's more ... interesting ... quotes :

"My purpose is total integration of biblical law into our lives."

Ahmanson inherited his money from his father, owner of Home Savings & Loan ... during the S&L scandal of the Reagan years, Home's investors, mostly small family investments, lost over $150 million dollars. No one went to jail."

More information about Mr. Ahmanson:

"Howard Ahmanson was a board member of the Chalcedon Institute for 23 years. This organization wants the government to adhere to biblical law, which, includes among other things, the killing of all gays and lesbians."

Want more?

"The group's biggest bankroller (both to campaigns and major conservative organizations) is Howard Ahmanson, who with his wife Roberta contributed nearly $2 million to various causes and candidates in 1992 alone. This is significant in part because Ahmanson is a longtime director of a theocratic think tank, the Chalcedon Foundation. The Chalcedon Foundation and its founder, R.J. Rushdoony, call for the abolition of democracy and the installation of a theocratic republic under "Biblical Law." The Chalcedon Foundation's theocratic agenda includes, among other things, capital punishment for such religious offenses as blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy, as well as abortion, adultery, and homosexuality."

And they say there is no American Taliban.

And the Tombots will say, "Uh...what's the problem?"

Wow. That is scary, and confirms much of what I think of the alleged "morality" of the whacked out hard right.

That guy is using stolen money to gain and wield political influence.

Wonder what Mr. Ahmanson thinks the penalty should be for theft?

I find it even funnier that you attack Arnold

Attack? I posted a single paragraph from an Article. No Attack.

Re: the remainder of your post, all I can suggest is that you find some mainstream media or visit your local library. You really read that trash? anglicanonline.com/letters? Is that authoritative? I don't... so I didn't visit your links.

Please don't respond with any more garbage, unless of course you'd like to explain the relationship with Schwarzenegger, Michael Milken, and Ken Lay.

Thanks for you post in #91! These McC supporters on FR have their heads so far buried in the sand on who McC really is that they cannot see the sun!

Thanks for the pings and Poohbah, if you're on line now, listen to Rick Roberts, 760 KFMB. McC's senate colleagues are telling him to drop and their voicing their support for Arnold.
