Whitman *is* going - but McClintock? Big spending conservative hypocrite backing Poizner?

[bridgit]

As a 'conservative'? How the hell would McClintock know? Do they party on yachts off the 17 Mile? McClintock is among the more contemporaneous examples of a man bending backward - twice round - *then* sticking his head straight up his own ass. Plus, and their women likely flip a real man's-man BBQ hot-dog; but dude got those mean shell-shocked 'toy short of a happy meal' cow-dumb eyes...like a saltier pepperier Scott Brown. Put an end to 'conservative' teabagging Whack-Wing cookie cutter hypocrisy!





McClintock a big spender on Congressional mail

April 14, 2010 by jeffpelline

Our Congressman Tom McClintock likes to rail against government spending, but he is among the biggest spenders around when it comes to Congressional mass mailings to promote himself back home, according to an Associated Press survey.

All told, the 54 House members, including McClintock, spent more than $11 million in taxpayer money communicating with their constituents, “using it for everything from live teleconferences to postage and printing for slick, colorful newsletters,” the AP said.

McClintock spent $380,691 in Congressional mailings last year, ranking him six in Congress, according to the AP survey. This includes postage, printing and reproduction for mass mailings as well as robo-calls and telephone calls with constituents.

Our household can attest to regular robo-calls at the dinner hour.

“Freshman members of Congress are using a perk to blanket districts with mass mailings and other messages to promote themselves back home, particularly those in this year’s tightest election contests,” the AP reported.

In our district, McClintock won election in a tight race against Democrat Charlie Brown, and actually lost to Brown in our county.

The mailers sent by the Congressmen “tended to feature photos that took up much of the space. Issues were frequently dispensed within a few sentences, often in slogan-like ways familiar to listeners of campaign ads,” the AP said.

The local media subscribes to the AP news wire, but I have not seen this reported by them.

Tea Party Express announces 2010 election targets, endorses Democrat

An influential Tea Party group announced its 2010 target list Thursday, and raised a few eyebrows by endorsing a Democrat.

At a press conference in Washington, the Tea Party Express named its favorite lawmakers and candidates, as well as those officeholders they most want to see removed.

The group is backing: Rep. Walt Minnick (D-Idaho) along with GOP Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Joe Wilson (S.C.), Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Tom Price (Ga.), Mike Pence (Ind.) and Tom McClintock (Calif.)
