Tom McClintock
I’m Sick of AIG
This week has featured a lot of discussion on AIG. There is widespread outrage over the payments of bonuses to employees. There is finger-pointing and flip-flopping regarding who knew what and when in regards to the bonuses. We have the House and the Senate proposing and passing legislation to address the bonus issue. AIG CEO Edward Liddy testified before the House Financial Services subcommittee on Capital Markets. Obama and team have been making statements which appear, at times, to be inconsistent… I’m pretty much spent on the issue, but will offer my thoughts.
Ron Paul Calls for Support of His Friend Tom McClintock
Dear Friend:
You know that I don’t mince words and I don’t back down in fighting a federal government that has far exceeded the confines of our Constitution. I could use some help in the House, and that’s why I’m asking you to support my friend Tom McClintock.
You may remember when he stood up to the liberal Republican establishment in California and took on Arnold Schwarzenegger during the recall election in 2003. This guy will stand and fight, and we need him in the Congress. Tom has said that he expects our federal government to protect our borders and to preserve our individual freedoms as Americans. And beyond that, he wants it out of our pockets, away from our families and out of our faces. That’s my kind of candidate.
He’s facing the Daily Kos and DCCC fundraising machine, and he’ll need our financial help on his side.
You are about to owe $6,500 to stimulate the economy.

As many regular readers of this site know - I’m a big fan of Rep. Tom McClintock. He’s one of the most consistent fiscal conservatives I’ve ever known, and has a deep, profound and expressed reverence for the principles of the founders.
Yesterday Rep. Tom McClintock gave a floor speech where he outlined, quite clearly, the cost of Barack Obama’s stimulus plan to each American.
That’s $6,500 of new debt for every man, woman and child in the United States today – or $26,000 for an average family of four. This is not a theoretical number. That family will have to repay that $26,000 – plus interest – from their future taxes just as surely as if it appeared on the bottom of their credit card statement this month.

Rep. McClintock gives a speech in opposition to S.181 - Lilly Ledbetter Salary Act.
McClintock Blasts Bailouts
Rep. McClintock gave this floor speech in support of H.J.Res. 3, which was a Republican measure to deny the authorization of the remaining portion of the $350 billion in bailout funds.
When has a bailout ever worked?
Tom McClintock did a great job today breaking down exactly why the bailouts have been such a complete and utter disaster. Thank you Tom for not allowing Washington to simply brush this failure aside as they do with every other attempt at “rescuing” us.
Text from his floor speech:
McClintock Claims Victory Over Brown
Looks like Tom McClintock is headed to Capitol Hill.
From the San Jose Examiner:
McClintock is 1,576 votes ahead of Brown out of 367,510 votes counted, according to the secretary of state’s office. Those figures will be updated and finalized as counties certify their votes by Tuesday’s deadline, but McClintock’s lead appears insurmountable.
McClintock held a news conference at his campaign headquarters in a Sacramento
suburb on Monday to claim victory in the 4th Congressional District contest.
McClintock Lead Grows
According to the most recent public statement of the McClintock for Congress campaign Tom has now extended his lead by over 800 votes, up from 400 on election day, as additional ballots are counted. For those of you who are not familiar with Tom McClintock, he is the Republican candidate for California’s 4th district. He is a true fiscal conservative, something we need a bit more of in Washington.
Taking A Look at McClintock’s Positions
As a temporary California resident (I’m here for school), I thought it would be interesting to look at libertarian leaning Republican congressional candidate Tom McClintock’s positions on the upcoming ballot propositions. Currently a state senator, he is running for office in California’s 4th District, which is the northeastern region of the state.
Following are his positions, with a follow-up by myself:
