WHICH MCCLINTOCK TO BELIEVE? TOM PROMISED HE WOULDN'T BE A SPOILER

KFI 640 | Matt Garrett

[MattGarrett]

On today's RECALL CENTRAL on KFI 640, they had the head of the "Lincoln Republicans" of Orange County. He stated that Tom McClintock had assured him that he would not stay in the race to play spoiler if it looked like he couldn't win. He promised that he would bow out before the election if his numbers didn't assure victory.

Other Cal GOP leaders were quoted as saying the same.

And yet, McClintock has vowed to stay in the race to the bitter end.

So, the question is ...

Which McClintock do we believe?

[Defiant]

No, Arnold is friends with Riordan, but Arnold is Giuliani.

I didn't say that every McC supporter has been uncivil. Some have. I would hope most have not. But let's not start getting into a "Who Started It?" debate, because if you want the truth, the incivility of many of the pro-McC posts is one of the things which drove me to Arnold.

[L.N. Smithee]

But I think I understand how he could say this, because I have to say that watching the incivility and strident low-intelligence of the foaming-mouth puritan contingent on FR over the past couple of weeks, if this is "conservatism," I'm ashamed to be a conservative.

'Low intellengence foaming mouth puritans.' Gee, that's civil.

Ye who smelt it dealt it.

[Roscoe]

Arnold is already choosing Democrats for campaign advisers.

[Roscoe]

On part 2, you either vote for Arnold or Cruz.

I don't.

[My2Cents]

There is a shallow end of the gene pool, and sad to say, most of McC's more obnoxious supporters swim there.

Do you ask yourself these questions before you address them online? If the union workers don't vote the union ticket, the union is disempowered. That's a first step. Greater things will follow.

[jmc813]

The Statist element on the Right is generally more subdued because so many of the GOP base are God fearing and already have their orders from Higher authority.

Tht's what is causing this unique coalition of libertarians and Social conservatives in this race.

[EternalVigilance]

Riordan has endorsed Democrats. I don't think Arnold has.

Arnold has endorsed one Democrat in the most glowing terms imaginable: Warren Buffett, the chief financier of the largest abortion provider in America, Planned Parenthood.

He called him, "my close friend and MENTOR"...

[duckln]

I think Arnold, with all the hype, seudo peaked at the convention. There's a 'strong undercurrent' for Tom and it could likely snowball if compromisers come to their senses.

I say Tom will win, he has more 'quad' coming down the streach.

[The Coopster]

Only the Puchannanites.....

[Defiant]

On part 2, you either vote for Arnold or Cruz.

I don't.

You don't what? Analyze the choices correctly?

[Roscoe]

Arnold has endorsed one Democrat in the most glowing terms imaginable: Warren Buffett, the chief financier of the largest abortion provider in America, Planned Parenthood. He called him, "my close friend and MENTOR"...

And his campaign's senior financial adviser.

[My2Cents]

Well, fair enough. I asked for a opinion, and it's a fair one. But if Arnold peaked at the convention, why was it the polls are showing a surge after the debate last week?

[jmc813]

Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.” Sounds like the attitude of most of the "true conservatives" here on FR.

You don't believe this to be true? Keep in mind human nature and the fact that he said 95% of people in the world.

[Roscoe]

You don't what?

Vote for either of the two liberals.

[Defiant]

But he made him do situps when he screwed up. Arnold is in charge.

[pogo101]

Arnold has endorsed one Democrat in the most glowing terms imaginable: Warren Buffett

I'll take that as a "No, not as far as I know." Because as you DO know, Buffett isn't running for office. By your standard, George W. Bush and Richard M. Nixon "endorsed" Democrats because their cabinets included one or more.

Nice try. Let me know if you come up with a Democratic candidate whom Schwarzenegger has endorsed. I won't hold my breath waiting.

[CounterCounterCulture]

You've learned well from Car-vile, Molly Ivins et al. Congrats. Now go join Arianna HuffingPuffington and her shame of conservatism. Go on. Scoot.

[Defiant]

If you don't vote for Arnold, they you are voting for Cruz. You are a Cruz Missle.

Only, if Cruz wins, we'll have to call it a Miztle.
