On his campaign website, he has a list of McClintock endorsements. However, it should be pointed out that this list is from October 31, 2008.
This would apply for the previous election, not necessarily this one. The list included people such as Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. Fred Thompson, Rep. Tom Tancredo, Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist, Club for Growth, National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, and Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The list also notably included Rep. Ron Paul.
"McClintock was the only Republican who refused to bow to pressure and drop out of the governor's recall race in 2003.
But in 2006, after Schwarzenegger had signed all sorts of abysmal legislation into law, including gun bans, and called for a 'free flow of people' across our nations borders, McClintock did a 180 from his previous stance and not only endorsed Arnold, but insisted that all Republicans should do the same. This was a deal-breaker for anyone with common sense, and should make discerning voters question McClintock's sincerity and trustworthiness."
"Congressman McClintock voted to renew the Patriot Act, voted for government authority to collect DNA from suspects and stored in a database before they are even convicted of any crime, voted to sanction Iran and fervently support Israel."
" In the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, McClintock refused to endorse Ron Paul, even after his favorite Fred Thompson dropped out of the race."
