CA-04

The Sacramento Bee is coming after State Sen. Tom McClintock, California's best known conservative and candidate to Rep. Doolittle's seat in district 4.
Oh yes, he's "intolerant," an "ideologue," and worst of all, he's anti-earmarks. The Bee quotes approvingly of an attack by a supporter of former Rep. Doug Ose's, who is running against McClintock to return to the Congress, who says in horror "Tom will publicly refuse the tools available to all 435 members of Congress."
As for me, I'm with the Republican quoted at the end of the article:
"I think Tom is probably the most active voice in restraining state spending," said state Sen. Sam Aanestad, R-Penn Valley, a campaign supporter. "He just tells it like it is. He's upfront and he doesn't play political games.
"If that's a weakness, it's one I'd like to have."
For what it's worth, I'm with McClintock for Congress, and against Ose. This is a district we can have our pick of Republicans. This is no time and no place to go with a pro-spending Republican.

As a site, we've gone on record supporting a few candidates for office already. We're trying not to get too far out there, but there is one race we just can't stay out of and one candidate we can't help but get behind early and hard.
Meet Eric Egland. You might know him already. He started TroopsNeedYou.com to deliver resources to our troops in harm's way. He's been on CNN talking about his book, The Blog of War. He's been interviewed by Michelle Malkin. And most importantly, Eric Egland has fought in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
He's a pro-life conservative in a very Republican, conservative district. In fact, he's running against a Republican and we want you to help us help Eric Egland.
Eric is running against the corrupt, embattled John Doolittle, the national face of Republican scandal. Doolittle had to step down from the House Appropriations Committee because of the pending investigation against him. The FBI has already raided his home. But Doolittle won't retire because if he gets re-elected one more time he can get his full congressional pension.
This is a seat that will stay Republican. But, should Doolittle stay in it, it's a seat that could drag down other Republicans because of Doolittle's scandal. In 2004, Bush won it with over 60% of the vote.
Eric Egland is a stellar candidate, a small government conservative, and our choice for CA-04.
We need to take our party back. And Eric Egland's race would be a great start.
