McClintock is admired for his uncompromising (i.e., unpolitical) moral stances on a host of conservative issues. But one of the highest members of McClintocks staff in this campaign is John Stoos, a Christian conservative so ardent that he wants the Bible to become a Christian America book of law, much as the Koran is in the theocratic Islamic dictatorship of Iran.
Jews would not have total acceptance in the Christian America he wants established, Stoos reportedly told a shocked audience at a 1995 religious conference. Jews would be tolerated in his future America, Stoos continued, but they would feel more at home in Israel. After the firestorm his reported remarks caused, Stoos was required to resign from both Gun Owners of California and from an advisory board affiliated with the Christian Coalition. Coalition executive director Ralph Reed, Jr., called Stooss statement outrageous and totally unacceptable.
Two years later Assemblyman Tom McClintock hired Stoos after being warned of this controversy by two fellow conservative Republican lawmakers. McClintock told the Los Angeles Times that Stoos claimed to have been misquoted, and McClintock says he took Stoos at his word, not bothering to check out Stooss claim. Which leaves us with the question: Is Tom McClintock a knave or a fool? Either way, his embrace of Mr. Stoos makes McClintock unfit to be Governor of California.
But Californians have another 131 choices, including that drone of recent debates Peter Camejo of the Green Party. Professor Camejo in 1976 ran as the Socialist candidate nationwide and gathered 90,000 votes. But in the 2004 election the Communist Party USA has already reportedly said it urges Communists to support the Democratic candidate whoever the party of the donkey nominates, just as the CPUSA did against Ronald Reagan in 1984. Camejo, too, has released his supporters to vote for Bustamante or Davis, who are moving California to the radical Left faster and perhaps farther than even he would. What do these things tell us about the Democratic Party?
And bringing up the rear, tax-avoiding millionairess Arianna Huffington may have dropped out of the race as a candidate but she continues to barnstorm California in support of Gray Davis. Perhaps she does not know yet how Gray treats women, but she will learn soon enough.
Arianna is accustomed to wild fascinations. She was a member of the John-Roger guru cult that also sucked in and destroyed the late best-selling author Peter McWilliams, who wrote about being in this bizarre occult cult shared by wacky Arianna in his book Life 102: What to Do When Your Guru Sues You.
Arianna also reportedly brought famous people to her mansion in Santa Barbara and persuaded them to share their secret religious and other beliefs, never telling them that she was clandestinely tape recording every word they spoke. Was this for blackmail? Research? Both?
Perhaps the hidden appeal Gray Davis has for Arianna came in his statement a few days ago: My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state. We have the sons and daughters of every, of people from every planet, of every country on earth.
To some this seemed like the mistaken verbal meandering of a Governor whose forked tongue was moving faster than his reptilian brain. But Arianna must have recognized it as secret code, just like the name Gray itself the grays being known to California UFO afficianados as that extraterrestrial race that abducts human beings and performs memory-suppressed experiments on them.
Only in California would a politician make this appeal for the UFO vote, aimed at Men in Black by a Gray disguised in gray from his hair to his heart. Total Recall, do not forget, was Arnolds movie about the planet Mars and its inhabitants.
The Spanish named California after fabled Queen Califia, who was said to preside over an enchanted island populated by talking animals. It seems they picked exactly the right name. Arnold, if the Democrats last minute blizzard of lies between now and October 7 fails, will become a Governor perfectly suited to this state.

"--Gray Davis has an explosive temper and frequently explodes with F-word-laced language. Davis on several occasions has gone into violent tantrums that include throwing telephones and ashtrays at staff members as well as shoving and violently shaking middle-aged women who work on his staff.
