McClintock Does Conservatives No Favor

Tom McClintock believes he is helping the conservative cause in California by staying in the governor's race. The state senator from Thousand Oaks couldn't be more wrong.

Attempting to recall Gov. Gray Davis is a risky business. Many people, including U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, who helped finance the effort, have considered voting against the recall just to avoid the chance of electing Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante to the state's top job. Davis has failed as governor, but he has steered a moderately liberal course so he could continue to raise money from big business. Bustamante, however, has made no effort to disguise his disdain for business owners and will move state policy sharply to the left on all fronts.

That can't make certain "big check" writers very happy, LOL. They're out, and pretty much exposed; they overplayed their hand. Wonder how they'll deal with it? New political party maybe, or will they try and pump up the Constimatooshin Party?

Constimatooshin Party?

It'a natural. Can't wait.

Nonsense.

Arnold was always a fiscal conservative. Ask Milton Friedman.
