Heheheh.

"If Tom has such greatness in morals- why is he accepting money from the tribes... "

DING! Exactly.

[Tamzee]

If Tom cannot put California first right NOW, there's NO WAY he would if he became governor.

Wow... says it all :-)

[FairOpinion]

Apparently they even want to dictate whom you can ping.

And they claim they are for individual freedom -- sounds like Stalinist tactics to me.

>>> Do you think the Clintons are happy to see McClintock staying in the race and splitting the GOP vote...?<<<

The perfect barometer !
If it pleases Bill or Hillary,
it can't be good for you or me.

[massadvj]

Total contempt for conservatives ? The Republicans ? Jeez.

Perhaps you have not read the same hatred-filled spew directed at McClintock and his supporters that I have. The establishment Reps are sliming this guy -- a good and decent man who has devoted his long career to fighting the good Republican fight -- every which way. This witch hunt should be watched carefully by every true conservative across the country to see what happens when you buck the country clubbers who have hijacked the party. I, for one, will not walk in fear.

Frankly, I find McClintock's courage under this kind of fire quite laudible. He seems willing to sacrifice his future career for principle, and he does not seem willing to abandon those who desperately seek an alternative to having to vote for socialist baby killers.

Vote for Ahnold? To paraphrase a true Hollywood conservative, you'll have to punch the ballot with my cold, dead hands.

The "Arnold is no Gray Davis" is her HOOK, her comedic twist in the article... she states that in several instances and then follows it with a specific reason to show that there ARE significant differences between Gray and Arnold.

Her whole point is that Arnold is farther right than where we are now in California... and that it is a GOOD THING.

[EternalVigilance]

Who wants to dictate who you can ping?

In fact, here comes some of the 'posse' now...

[FairOpinion]

Roger is now reading faxes in response to Tom's call.

One says: If Tom cannot put California first right NOW,
there's NO WAY he would if he became governor.

Another writes: "I just want to let you know that after viewing the nude photo of Arnold, my wife and I have
decided to vote for him. He's the only candidate that's demonstrated he has nothing to hide!"

Great ones! :)

Thanks for posting them.

[FairOpinion]

Whatever the title was, Ann's article is clearly an endorsement of Arnold.

[EternalVigilance]

Yep. Treason.

[EggsAckley]

The thought police.

[Tamzee]

Hopefully Bush and Arnold can stop her from succeeding in California....

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

Hardly an endorsement.

Ann Coulter
“ There are even a few serious candidates like Tom McClintock and Bill Simon who do have plans that actually would save the Golden State.”

and you can add these too.

Thomas Sowell
“It may be too close to call but I will vote for Arnold and hope for the best.”

Milton Friedman
“My impression is that he is fundamentally a small- government libertarian, although that is belied to some extent by the proposition he got through last year [providing tax dollars for after-school programs]. ”

Jarvis Foundation
“ State Senator Tom McClintock has a record on tax issues second to none in Sacramento."

David Drier
“Tom McClintock is a very fine person and has served CA well for the past two decades."

Dave Cox
“ There is no one in state government more focused on the financial problems facing California, nor more committed to finding fiscally sound solutions, " said Cox. "Tom McClintock possesses that all-too-rare combination of integrity, competence and focus that it takes to make effective change in government. "

Rush Limbaugh
“ Probably the most serious candidate on the Republican side, if you want to know the truth (and you do, or you wouldn’t be here) is State Senator Tom McClintock. ”

Joe Farah
“ I have known McClintock for more than a decade. He is as honest and committed as any man I have ever known in politics. He cannot be corrupted. He will not compromise with evil. He is a man of real principle.”

Pat Buchanan
“ But by calling on Republicans to vote for Arnold, not the men of principle Bill Simon or Tom McClintock, who were the conservatives endorsing? A sybarite who backs abortion on demand, homosexual unions and gun control, and thought the impeachment of Clinton a GOP atrocity. ”

Yay!
Roger just said the audio interview with Tom will be up on his website in it's entirety on his website by 7PM tonite:

And the last few lines from Ann's previous column entitled, "California: The Democrats' Laboratory"


"No longer content to play an evil robot, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger will now be running against one. Far be it from me to tell Republicans to stop enjoying the Democrats' pain, but California is about to fall into the ocean. "

"Either Schwarzenegger will dismantle the government employees' Versailles Palace, or California will continue to be a laboratory for failed liberal policies."

The Jarvis Foundation endorsed Arnold.

Did you miss that?

Everyone is endorsing Arnold, except a few of the "death before electability" crowd. I don't know what's wrong with Rush Limbaugh -- several other conservative talk show hosts all endorsed Arnold.

Thanks!

I am not sure I will be able to listen to McClintock at this point, but I know I probably should hear it.

I just hope that some people who are still supporting him will listen.

You have a strange definition of "greatness of spirit."

A man "great in spirit" does not bend to political fashion and expediency when great principles are at stake.
