The clown not only filled out the paperwork incorrectly, he did not file the amended form on time. It is the only reason he lost the appeal. I know about the date, but I would bet that the date on the form and the time he turned in the form are not the same or the judge would not told him to take a flying hike.

But it is the box he checked that has me concerned. He checked a box indicating he would not abide by a voluntary fundraising cap of $6 million. Why?

It is a 2 month election and in the first three weeks he raised a whopping total of $300,000. Why on earth would he think that he could raise over 6 million dollars?

Next, McClintock's lawyer, Richard Ackerman, believes Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, a Democrat who opposes the recall of Gov. Gray Davis, is taking advantage of the opportunity to put a wrench in the senator's campaign.

Is everyone in the state against him? But, to be truthful the Secretary of State would want McClintock's in the voter guide, to steal votes from Arnold. This action helps Arnold not Davis.

I agree completely. The only way to maximize Bustamante's chances is for the Dems to play divide and conquer. They want people to be able to find both Schwarzenegger and McClintock, and Ueberoth, too, so as to divide up the GOP vote.

>>>> The clown not only filled out the paperwork incorrectly, he did not file the amended form on time.

"When McClintock discovered the consequences of his choice, he amended his form and refiled it one day before the Aug. 9 deadline. But the secretary of state's office refused to accept it, contending the rules prohibit amendments, although this is not indicated anywhere on the form."

If that is true, then probably because those fundraising caps are silly at best. Donation limits, spending limits . . . both artificial, dumb, and sometimes unconstitutional.

Why would that concern you anyway?

From the WND article:

----------------------------------------

.....he amended his form and refiled it one day before the Aug. 9 deadline. But the secretary of state's office refused to accept it, contending the rules prohibit amendments, although this is not indicated anywhere on the form.

The 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled Thursday McClintock had the right to amend his form, but it did not see evidence the document was turned in on time. Due to a mixup, the court did not receive a faxed copy of McClintock's form, which shows he submitted it to the secretary of state's office before the deadline.....

When McClintock's team turned in the evidence to the superior court, the court refused to accept it, for reasons unknown to Ackerman and Stoos.

-----------------------

(My note: the faxed form would have been coming from the recorder office.... just because some of you on the right don't like the guy dosent mean the libs aren't trying to screw him if they can)

But it is the box he checked that has me concerned. He checked a box indicating he would not abide by a voluntary fundraising cap of $6 million. Why?

Maybe because he very much of a conservative mind set like most of us here .....I know when I fill out don’t check off any voluntary info, donation or restriction

.....................Look you may no like the guy... you may not think he’s got a chance.... but he is a conservative that been fighting a lone guard action for years in this state against overwhelming odds and warn people... he predicted what would happen to this state when the Dem were just “party on” and most of the Republican just went with the flow to get there perks

If Tom was in this for the money, power, or ego he would be personally much better life if he would just “go with the flow” but he saw and knows the flow in California is down the drain

Oddly I would say no one on this board is a “go with the flow” type person

Look being a conservative a lot of times means being the “Lone voice crying in the wilderness” I think we have all been there at some time or another
