CA State Senator Tom McClintock, who had formerly endorsed his buddy Fred Thompson, says he’s now considering Ron Paul for president… but, he’s still not sure. Let’s take a careful look at McClintock’s sordid history of endorsements.

LA Times reports:
With Thompson out, Tom McClintock leans to Ron Paul

——————————————————————————–

“If we don’t stick to our principles, then what is the point of winning?”, Tom McClintock said, to boisterous cheers at a campaign rally in La Canada California on September 27, 2003. It was a week before he would go against ‘the terminator’ in a statewide recall election for California governor. (I will post video of this speech soon.)

I am a former ardent supporter of California State Senator Tom McClintock. In this article, I will outline my contention that in 2008, Tom McClintock is a sellout and a phony; he not only doesn’t deserve the support of the freedom movement, (the measly 13% that used to support him, of which I was a part) but I will actively campaign against McClintock for any future position he seeks. McClintock finishes his second four-year term in the state senate in 2008, which is the maximum according to state law. Rumor had it that McClintock might seek the U.S. Congressional seat of Elton Gallegly, who had announced his retirement in 2006 but later changed his mind. McClintock has held public office for 26 years, so it’s likely he will continue to seek some sort of elected position. Sadly, Tom has shown that he does not stick to his principles; he supports and advocates evil traitorous men, and should not be trusted.

This has been apparent for quite some time among freedom advocates who follow California politics, but McClintock’s recent actions take the cake. McClintock’s endorsement of Schwarzenegger for governor in 2006 was enough to convince me not to vote for him for Lt. Governor. Schwarzenegger, the gun-grabbing son of a Nazi who promotes ‘universal health care’ socialism and bans cell phones while driving, would never be the choice of any decent or principled person, for any reason. When Schwarzenegger won in 2003 and met traitor Bush for the first time as governor in Riverside California, I was so disgusted with Republicans that I went down to protest both of them and made the 11 O’Clock news. Yet since that time, McClintock has endorsed Schwarzenegger and other enemies of freedom. This is why McClintock deserves to be shunned. More on Arnold later. But first, let’s talk about another one of McClintock’s heros, Fred.

Former U.S. Senator and Council on Foreign Relations member Fred Thompson, who recently dropped out of the presidential race because of dismal support, had recently recieved the glowing endorsement of Tom McClintock. McClintock even served as the California Chairman of the actor’s defunct presidential campaign.
Thompson, otherwise known as ‘Cheney With a Drawl’, and remembered as a ‘mole’ for Nixon White House is the typical establishment’s man neocon, supporting undeclared wars and big government. Even fellow republicans such as James Dobson ‘Trashed Fred Thompson’. Defending the wildly unpopular fiasco in Iraq, Thompson told CNN, “We will not be a safer country, we will not be a safer America if the whole world watches us being defeated by a bunch of kids with improvised explosive devices,”. He claimed “forces are succeeding”, and “we didn’t know what we were facing” when we went into Iraq. McClintock, who is purportedly a constitutionalist with libertarian leanings, loses credibility by endorsing such a candidate for president.

In these youtube clips, Ron Paul and Fred Thompson give different answers to questions about the North American Union.

In his endorsement, McClintock announced,

“I’m For Fred Thompson- It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen a presidential candidate that I felt I could trust to respect our Constitution, defend our borders, reduce the burdens of government on our families, and at the same time that has the natural ability to reach the millions of voters who feel that neither party stands for these principles any longer…. Every one of us has a right to expect something much more than the same establishment candidates that both parties have produced for the last 20 years.[1]

This youtube video clearly illustrates the nature and goals of the Council on Foreign Relations: Which Presidential Candidates are part of the CFR? What are they trying to accomplish?
Perhaps McClintock is itching for membership into the CFR?
Two months before endorsing Thompson, on 8-16-07, Tom McClintock had interviewed Republican presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul on KOGO AM, San Diego, While sitting in for radio host Roger Hedgecock. (Listen HERE.) On that show, McClintock said

“if you ever wondered what George Washington would be saying if he were on the campaign trail today, listen to Ron Paul and i think thats about as close as you can possibly get. now hes riled the republican establishment, which i think is a good thing….
…Congressman Paul, I do think you’ve got a message that is long overdue in American politics and it is a return to founding principles..”

It’s quite a stretch to go from praising Ron Paul to endorsing Fred Thompson. What happened? Let’s take a closer look at McClintock’s politically schizophrenic record:
