Tom McClintock pays tribute to Ron Paul

[Tpoints]

RP endorsed Bachmann for congress but he obviously didn't endorse her for President.

Did McClintock ever endorse Paul for Congress and did McClintock ever run for President?

Did McClintock ever endorse Paul for Congress and did McClintock ever run for President?

Whether McClintock sent endorsement letters to RP constituents I don't know but I know he would have RP on his talk show quite a lot.

It was gratuitous to say he wasn't of the proper timber to be President, even if he wasn't going to endorse him. That pisses me off. He has been reliably conservative, but much more establishment than rebel, in CA. Still, he votes well. I voted for him for Lt Governor before I knew who Ron Paul was, he was 'the conservative' in the race.

fair enough.

A debate went on for pages over *that* ?

/facepalm

fuck this jackal.

signed, NO-COMPROMISE

Rand is compromise. This dude is trash.

I've done plenty of supervision myself. That doesn't change the basic fact that someone who has a hard time being the executive of a political Presidential campaign is going to have an even harder time being the executive of the biggest government on the planet. I mean, sure, that's WHY WE LIKE HIM, but it doesn't alter the basic objective reality of it.

I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who will have the same basic fundamental problem. There are loads of people in NC who want me to run for NCGOP Chairman now, and run for NC Governor in 2016 or 2020. I am more than capable of supervising a team of 7 or a crew of 14, or a division of 50. I am not, however, ignorant of the fact that I will find it difficult to be the executive of thousands.

Do it. NC needs you to run.

Well McClintock is a conservative, not a neocon in sheep's clothing. Sometimes this means he holds a libertarian line, sometimes not. But he is far better than most of his ilk. I just wish he was willing to really go rouge.
