The War on Guns spotlights Tom McClintock.
I urge California gun owners to support and elect Tom McClintock to the House of Representatives. I urge you to get involved now, assist his campaign and recruit other gun owners. If you have been involved, I urge you to renew your efforts. Here's why:
How can conservative gun owners not love a guy who advocates: [T]he debate is not about guns. It is about freedom. And the wheel has come full circle. Our generation must study politics that we may restore the liberty that our parents and grandparents expect us to pass on to our children and grandchildren.
If we fail, what history will demand of our children and grandchildren, in a society where their only right is to their own thoughts, is simply unthinkable. And be assured, history will find it unforgivable. A generation that is handed the most precious gift in all the universe – freedom – and throws it away -- deserves to be reviled by every generation that follows – and will be, even though the only right left to them is their own thoughts. I've met the man. I had the opportunity to speak with him in person. I'm convinced he's the real deal.
Thing is, I'm not the one who needs convincing. California gun owners need to get off their duffs, get on the forums and boards, call their friends, scold their shooting buddies, open their wallets and generally knock off the apathy that is "our" worst failing.
I couldn't move that mountain much when Arnold was climbing it. But that didn't make the truth of why McClintock was the superior candidate any less relevant. And with the banning of .50 BMGs, with the lead shot ammo ban, and all the subsequent infringements since Arnold took over, we have the benefit of hindsight to confirm this.
It's clear the Nancy Pelosi machine is working overtime to ensure the congressional seat ends up an extension of their centralized planning campaign against freedom. Does anyone think Tom's opponent will buck his backers? And why is it do you suppose the democrat has been so shy about showing voters his hand in terms of his support for Barack Obama--the guy whose record proves he "would be the most anti-gun president in America's history" if elected?
There's really nothing more to say. California gun owners--I urge you to stop what you're doing, right now, and click on this link and start helping.

Theodore’s World Contrasts Jeff Beatty vs. John Kerry
From Theodore’s World:
John Kerry has expressed anti-American sentiment throughout his public life -- beginning with his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.
Early last year in Davos, Switzerland, Kerry ingratiated himself with Europeans by again making public comments that revealed his true nature and shocked many people here at home.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum, he openly ridiculed the United States to the delight of many in the audience. "The problem with Americans is they have an unfortunate habit of seeing the world through an American lens," Kerry said. He also referred to the United States as an "international pariah."

Rob Port: “Incapacitated Democrat Won’t Debate”
From Say Anything:
Last night I had an opportunity to talk with a politcally-engaged friend from South Dakota who told me something interesting about their Senate race down there.
Senator Tim Johnson, who was felled by a stroke in December of 2006, is running for re-election against Republican challenger Joel Dykstra. As late as August of last year Senator Johnson was propped up in front of supporters to announce that he was “back” and that he’d be running for re-election. During that speech Johnson couldn’t stand. He didn’t give any extemporaneous remarks. He slurred his way through a prepared statement and then was wheeled off stage.
At the time I said that the spectacle was disturbing. Senator Johnson clearly wasn’t fit at the time to be back in the public eye, and I found it a little morbid that his handlers would push him out in front of everyone like that.
From my friend in South Dakota I learned that not much has changed. To date, Johnson has refused to debate Dykstra. Even a compromise where each candidate would answer questions separately in separate rooms for 30 minutes apiece was rejected by Johnson’s campaign.
I have to ask, if this man isn’t fit to even debate his opponent during a campaign how in the world is he fit to serve in the United States Senate? Famous for being the world’s most deliberative legislative body?
Are Democrats really so power-hungry that they’d push someone like Johnson out onto the campaign trail when he’s clearly not healthy enough to be campaigning or representing the people of South Dakota in the Senate.

“You Don’t Wear A Military Uniform”
From Kevin Tracy:
There’s news in California’s 4th Congressional District where it turns out that Representative Charlie Brown (D) not only appeared at an anti-war rally where an effigy of an American soldier was lynched, but appeared in a military uniform! Now, Brown earned the uniform and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force before finally retiring in 1998.
Needless to say, appearing in uniform to hang an effigy of a soldier to show support for the radical anti-war left is so far beyond acceptable that it’s unbelievable. And Representative Brown is banking on you thinking it’s unbelievable as he’s now denying he ever wore a uniform to the protest.
Well, thankfully his Republican opponent, State Senator Tom McClintock, has the resources to run television ads. Take a look for yourself. Look, I’m not really upset with the hanging of an effigy. I’m sure when McCain loses, there are going to be plenty of Republicans wanting to hang effigies of me in their front yards. I mean, go to Israel and ask them if they are ever offended by the Palestinians burning an effigy of a Jew. No, it’s not polite, but it doesn’t really make that big of a deal.
What bothers me about this is Brown wearing a military uniform at an anti-war rally. John Kerry did the exact same thing during the Vietnam War and when I found out, I was just as much outraged as I am now. Brown had absolutely no business disrespecting the military uniform like that. He of all people should know how wrong his actions were on so many levels but he did it anyway.
I don’t care if you’re at an anti-war rally, a pro-war rally, or a what-war? rally - you don’t wear a military uniform when you go. You don’t wear a military uniform there if you’ve never served. You don’t wear a military uniform there if you’re in the service now. And you don’t wear a military uniform there after you’ve left the service. It’s not only illegal, but it’s about the equivalent of burning an American Flag to anyone who’s had to earn the uniform and respects it as it deserves to be respected.
Before this broke, Brown had been endorsed by VoteVets.org, The Circle of Friends for American Veterans, and Veterans’ Press. It’s time those endorsements were pulled and it’s up to us to pressure them to act. Please E-Mail, call, and fax these organizations and encourage them to withdraw their endorsements for Representative Brown for the horrible insult he paid to all troops; past, present, and future.

“Northern California Won't Buy Brown's Bull”
Genuine GOP Mom spotlights Tom McClintock.
When a friend sent me a link to this video recently, a quote from Sir Winston Churchill came to mind. Churchill famously said, “"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." The video shows former Air Force officer and Congressional candidate Charlie Brown of California in attendance at an anti-war rally where American uniforms were hung in effigy. Despite witnesses who saw him there supporting the organizers, Brown continues to deny it. We have the video, though, and there he is, feeding the proverbial crocodile, in uniform no less. Shameful.
Dear readers, in Charlie Brown’s attempted manipulation of public sentiment on the war in Iraq we see the consummate politician, a man who leans with his convictions when it polls well and hides in the shadows when it doesn’t. Brown has military experience himself which tends to play well among conservatives, but in recent years he has found a friend in Cindy Sheehan and other radical anti-war activists, presumably because it has been politically expedient at times for him to associate with them. Again, it is shameful. Our men and women in uniform deserve better.
Fortunately for northern California, there is an alternative in the race, a gentleman who has the determination and guts to stand on his convictions in the light of day. Tom McClintock, the conservative Republican candidate for California’s fourth congressional district, stands to do well in a district that traditionally embraces the conservative ideals of streamlined and efficient government, common sense immigration policies and a clear sense of what it takes to keep America secure during these dangerous times. I predict that northern California will reject Brown, the preferred candidate of groups like Code Pink, in favor of Tom McClintock, a promoter of Reagan’s ideal of “peace through strength”. I hold out great hope that voters in this election cycle nationwide are too keen to fall for political evasions, half-truths and even outright lies. I am confident that the voters of California’s fourth congressional district are no exception.

“This Is One of the Heated Battles in Our Country”
Theodore’s World highlights Tom McClintock
Tom McClintock was born July 10, 1956, in White Plains, New York, is a California State Senator, representing the 19th district. On March 4, 2008, McClintock announced his candidacy as the Republican nominee for U.S. House of Representatives , California's 4th congressional district.
Tom McClintock’s Democrat opponent Charlie Brown has been running one of the most vile, hate filled campaign filled with lies and attacks of more lies about Tom McClintock.
Here is a sample of the kind of low life this Charlie Brown is and how he was involved with this and supported it.
Here is a TV ad highlighting Charlie Brown's participation at a anti-war rally, where he wore his uniform, in support of a homeowner who hung a soldier in effigy.
He is a conservative Republican, strong on defense, strong stance against amnesty for illegal aliens, has worked hard for our Veterans, supported the Surge and supports our military big time.
State Sen. Tom McClintock's congressional campaign has criticized opponent Charlie Brown over his campaign contributions from embattled U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-New York) and noted that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), who has also contributed to Brown's campaign, is facing questions about her own campaign fundraising.
This is one of the hearted battles in our country. The Dems never can run an honest campaign and so it is important to show support as much as possible for Republicans especially men like Tom McClintock that is well deserved.

Joel Dykstra Understands
Boston Maggie showcases Joel Dykstra.
Joel Dykstra is running as a Republican for a Senate seat in South Dakota and that alone would garner him my support barring something bad. You see, I believe that to have good government, you need a mix of opinions. You need balance in places like the Senate. No supermajorities. So, in the current political climate, having more Republicans in the Senate is good on it's face.
However, there is a better reason to back Mr. Dykstra's candidacy. He has experience with one of the great issues facing our country today. Energy.
Joel spent his early career in the oil and gas industry, gaining important insight into global energy. He spent 10 years as a Petroleum Landman for the U.S. subsidiaries of British oil companies based in Tulsa, OK. He accepted a promotion to the head office of LASMO, plc, in London, England, where he served as the International Business Coordinator for five years. He was then appointed CEO of LASMO’s Italian subsidiary in Rome, Italy – a position he held for four years before returning to his home state of South Dakota. Through his domestic and international business experience, he brings innovative ideas to the ongoing national debate on alternative fuel sources. (from his campaign bio found here.)
Energy is an issue that is interwoven with our most basic issue - national security. There are people who look at the price at the pump and think "Gee, I'll have to cut back somewhere....maybe eating out. Maybe pass up those new shoes I saw at the store." and there are others who see that and think, "Someone in another country, who does not have America's interest at heart is controlling that price." Some people get that the energy we consume can be a weapon against us because of how we obtain it and how we finance it.
Energy is an important issue with no *one* solution. It needs to be a multilateral approach; conservation, alternative energy development, nuclear, and ...........exploration and development of our resources. To get the best possible result on that last part, you need people with experience. You need someone who understands the difference between what we produce and what we *can* produce. We need more people in decision making positions who possess the background to make the right decisions in these matters.
I remember reading once about a Congressman from Florida who was against natural gas exploration off the coast of Florida for fear of a "spill". I thought - "What? What did he just say?" But you know, even though I recognized the problem with that bit of ignorance, there is a whole lot I don't know.
Joel Dykstra would be a great choice for one of those Senate committees where such proposals would be discussed. When people who come to testify before his committee, Joel would not have to wait for an aide to Google the answer and slip him a piece of paper. He would understand what was being said. That would make his questions more intelligent, which would help his fellow Senators.
Joel's thoughts on America's future energy policy can be found here.
Joel is also in a position to be a good advocate for South Dakota. Again in this regard, he brings something unique to the table. He was raised in South Dakota, but lived in other places. That's good for your perspective. His loyalty to his home state was evidenced by his move back home with his family. Not a carpetbagger - not sheltered, he's balanced. He and I are sympatico on borders and GWOT - it's always good to be in line with Princess Crabby, lol.

“John Kerry Has Abandoned Us”
Speaking Out Southbridge spotlights Jeff Beatty.
I am writing to urge all voters not to vote for the re-election of Sen. John Kerry and to state for the record that not anyone in this region should give him a vote.
A strong message should be sent by voting for his able opponent, Republican Jeff Beatty.
John Kerry has abandoned us and continues to do so. He did literally nothing to get us a Department of Defense Accounting Center that the first President Bush had committed to Southbridge, with its 4,500-7,500 good-paying jobs. When the father Bush was defeated by Bill Clinton and the Democratic Secretary of Defense came in, Les Aspin, the promised project and jobs were downsized to the “DUD” it is now.
John Kerry and Sen. Kennedy did nothing and look at what the $100 million facility is now, a ghost town and doing nothing for the economic growth for our region and the homeowners and businesses of Southbridge who are subsidizing that facility with a $600,000 a year tax break.
The record is clear, John Kerry and Kennedy have been missing in action. John Kerry has not been here in years to specifically rectify the “DUD” that once was to be a promising economic engine despite all the promises from Washington and the likes of John Kerry and Ted Kennedy. Send a message now by voting for the Republican, Jeff Beatty, for Senate.

Tom McClintock vs. “Obama Photocopy”
From Six Meat Buffet:
Here is another Six Meat Buffet appeal for a tight race that deserves your attention.
Tom McClintock is running for office representing California’s 4th Congressional District.
McClintock’s positions speak for themselves as he has been in the California Senate.
Here are a couple of noteworthy votes:
No: California State Budget
McClintock’s statement
No: Ban on Holding Pets While Driving [gotta love the CA nanny state, eh? -cranky]
1) Existing law prohibits a person from driving a motor vehicle while transporting an animal in the back of the vehicle in a space intended for a load on the vehicle on a highway, unless specified conditions are met, with exceptions related to livestock, ranching, and farming.
Under existing law, a violation of the Vehicle Code is an infraction, unless otherwise provided.
This bill would, on and after July 1, 2009, prohibit a person from driving a motor vehicle while holding a live animal in his or her arm or arms, or upon his or her lap. Because this bill would create a new crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
Let’s focus on his opponent, Obama photocopy, Charlie Brown (no, really, that’s his name): Ask him a question on gay marriage, and chances are that all you’ll get is some kind of reference to his time in the Air Force. Listen to what he says one week, and you’ll probably get something entirely different the next. Try to grasp his commentary on the Constitution, and you’ll simply cringe. Instead of taking a strong stand, Charlie would rather talk about his campaign motto, “Patriotism before partisanship.”
Barack Obama has the same strategy for getting into office: issue vague statements on patriotism that make people feel good, and try to hide just how liberal you really are. Maybe afraid that people would see the similarities, Brown only officially endorsed Obama after the McClintock campaign produced a photo of him wearing an Obama sticker at an event. Wishy-washy Charlie Brown… trying to have it both ways.
Charlie Brown supports gay marriage, seeks amnesty for illegal aliens, opposes any new drilling for oil in American territory, believes global warming is a national security threat, and has been a consistent part of the radical anti-war movement. But Charlie is so afraid of the issues, it takes work to find out just what he believes beyond campaign slogans and character attacks.
He is being outspent with help from the DNC:
Republican Tom McClintock has raised and spent more money in the 4th Congressional District race with Charlie Brown. But as the contest enters its stretch run, Brown has more cash — and is being helped by an independent advertising blitz by the national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Brown, who has raised $1.8 million for the race, reported having $456,834 in cash — and $41,000 in unpaid campaign charges - at the start of October. McClintock, who has raised $2.5 million, had $94,215 in cash left — with $85,528 in campaign debt.
“Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just spent at least $200,000 in TV ads to try and win this election for Charlie Brown,” McClintock said in a statement. “While Charlie has the ‘who’s who’ of the American Left at his disposal and now the vast resources of the Pelosi machine spent on his behalf, I have to rely on you and people like you who will not give up this country to the Left without a fight.”
Federal campaign reports show that the DCCC also has spent more than $16,000 for anti-McClintock mailers in the district. To our six readers in the Placerville area, please vote for McClintock. We need him. The rest of you, please consider throwing two bucks into the hopper.

“Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just spent at least $200,000 in TV ads to try and win this election for Charlie Brown,” McClintock said in a statement. “While Charlie has the ‘who’s who’ of the American Left at his disposal and now the vast resources of the Pelosi machine spent on his behalf, I have to rely on you and people like you who will not give up this country to the Left without a fight.”
Federal campaign reports show that the DCCC also has spent more than $16,000 for anti-McClintock mailers in the district. To our six readers in the Placerville area, please vote for McClintock. We need him. The rest of you, please consider throwing two bucks into the hopper.
