Number one, McClintock is not "anti-gay".

Indeed? That's funny - he sure accepts money quickly enough from people who are.

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.

Howard F. Ahmanson also donated money to stop Prop 52, the same day voter registration scam.

By contrast, Schwarzenegger's adviser and major contributor Jerry Perenchio spent $25,000 promoting the Democrat's election fraud plan.
