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?

[habs4ever]

He's turned in Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.Tommy, can't you feel that fork yet? Oh yeah, he's really the better man, isn't he, demonstrating such grace under pressure.

[eureka!]

Re#11 I heard it too. Tom was dumbfounded when Sean asked why the high approval ratings did not equal more votes. Sean should have said--do you think it is because you have not been attacked by the presstitutes at all so as to take GOP votes from the frontrunner?

[habs4ever]

Are you stalking me?

Up yours...though i think you'd like it.

[South40]

Quit bitching.

We're all here to bitch...are we not?

Be it a slam on liberal policies or a promotion of conservative values...it's a form of bitching.

Think about it.

It was very generous of Issa to spend his money in the recall, but I wouldn't trust him. None of these witnesses to McClintocks supposed spoiler comment have no evidence other than what they say he said.

"stay in the race to play spoiler"

Technically, he's OK. He may be staying in the race, but he isn't going to be a spoiler. Arnold will win with him in or out -- no matter. (But, ironically, McClintock's votes could help Part 1 pass, or pass more easily).

So while that may not be the "spirit" of what he claimed, he does get a ride on a technicality.

If McClintock drops out now it could be 15% of the recall vote that doesn't vote at all !

[South40]

I've yet to hear Mcclintock deny he said that to Issa...have you?

[Registered]

It was very generous of Issa to spend his money in the recall, but I wouldn't trust him.

Oh puhlease, Issa has been a man of honor through this entire recall-election fiasco. To say you don't trust him is simply ABSURD.

Kinda like 'right wing crazies' huh?

We're all here to bitch...are we not?

Not about the management of the site. People sound like the dorks on LP when they do so. This sort of bitching happens amongst McClintock people as well.

[The Old Hoosier]

He'll keep both promises, if he actually made the other one--he won't be a spoiler.

[jmc813]

That was a very funny cartoon in #24 BTW. :-)

You mean Tom's 15% would elect to stay home and pout?

If so, then they're not Republicans in any sense of the word.

[South40]

I didn't realize habs4ever's post was a bitch about the site.

Excuse me for not seeing the invisible.

[jmc813]

Excuse me for not seeing the invisible.

No problem.

[Tamzee]

Is there any way to get a transcript of this?

[Sir Gawain]

Hypothetical question:

Tom Daschle (R) vs. Hillary Clinton (D) for president.

How many freepers would support Daschle and attack those not voting for him? I'd say about 50%.

[jmc813]

If so, then they're not Republicans in any sense of the word.

And Arnold's not conservative in any sense of the word.

[DoughtyOne]

If they start up, I won't be there.
