Tom McClintock Hitches A Ride On The Wahmbulance

Ever since Tom McClintock got to Capitol Hill, he's been slowly sliding into idiocy. Now he's a whiner too.

With passage of the 2010 voter initiatives, there will now be, under most circumstances, two candidates in the November election: the top-two vote-getters, of whatever party, in the June primary election. So, unless there is no opposition whatsoever (like a dictatorship might feature, or as apparently McClintock desires), there will be two candidates in the November election. Two candidates. Two of them. As in, Not One. Two.

To Tom McClintock, even the possibility of choice is an intolerable situation:
Three days after learning he would face an intraparty challenger, Republican Rep. Tom McClintock has come out swinging against what he's calling an attempted "total liberal takeover."

"It's obvious -- the liberals want to entice enough Republicans to break off and join Democrats to elect a liberal Republican in a district that won't elect a liberal Democrat," McClintock wrote in an email to his large network of donors.

The fundraising appeal follows Republican Art Moore's entry into the 4th district contest. Under the state's new primary rules, the top-two votegetters, regardless of political party, advance to the general election in November.

Jeffrey Gerlach, who is not affiliated with a political party, is also running.

McClintock's campaign noted that at least three prospective Democratic candidates pulled papers to run, but ultimately stayed out of the race.

...Meantime, McClintock is telling supporters it will require a full-blown and expensive campaign right through to November.

"There's good news," he wrote. The people in the 4th district know me and know where I stand, and I believe we will keep this seat as a conservative one."
Oooh, "a full-blown and expensive campaign"! Imagine that!

Who are these two other candidates? Jeff Gerlach has no party affiliation and his Website looks brand-new, with virtually no opinions expressed yet on any topic. So, is McClintock trembling in the face of an empty suit?

What about Art Moore? He looks like a standard-issue Republican.

Too much to bear for Congressman McClintock!


Here's our very own Carpetbagging Idiot, Tom McClintock from Thousand Oaks, last August. Enthralled by financial interests, Tom McClintock has come to learn that financial crime doesn't really exist!
