The biography is pretty accurate until year 2000. A note on the recent involvements has been added at the end of the article and future improvements will be slowly incorporated into the running version User: torresan

Thanks for the hyperlinked version of this biography. Best Regards, User: torresan

Factual corrections have been made to recent changes to the biography of this highly controversial Puerto Rico politician. For example, McClintock has not (yet) been expelled from his party, only De Castro-Font, and that's a well-known fact. Another example: he was elected, not only by the entire PDP delegation, but by 14 other NPP senators, and that's a fact (check www.senadoela.pr). Regarding his alleged lack of a political future, while supporters of Rossello certainly think/wish so, he's been doing pretty well in scientific and unscientific polls measuring approval ratings as future Resident Commissioner candidates. Whoever made the previous, false changes should avoid Seigenthalerizing this bio and putting in doubt the credibility of the excellent work many have put into providing great information on Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans in this and other wikipedia pages.

Someone insists on imposing their subjective views as facts regarding this controversial politician. Now he has described as having been "discipled", which I guess means "disciplined" and "unaffiliated" from his party, which is totally false since his party has only expelled Sen. De Castro-Font. These false notations affect the credibility of this medium.

McClintock's early life info has been amended to include his birthday, based on a Primera Hora newspaper article on Jan. 2, 2006 which makes note of the fact that he and Speaker José Aponte were born on the same day, one year apart, which is a remarkable coincidence.

A reference has been included regarding McClintock's first statement this past week that he and others may sue the NPP leadership to assure their right to file for the 2008 primary. In a Radio Isla interview, he sure sounded like he's mulling a run for Congress, insted of relection to the Senate.

As I was gathering data on Sen. MacClintock for my son's summer assignment essay, I noticed that a lot of valuable information on his past had been deleted some time ago and I've reinstated it. While some people may oppose the fact that he stood up to and stopped Pedro Rosello's steamroller, that's no reason to eliminate objective facts about the life of one of Puerto Rico's most prominent leaders today. ____________________

Even though I'm one of Rossello's cousins, I'm a little bemused by some of the bias in the article. It could use some cleaning up.

[edit] Bias?

There are certain statements in this bio which could be considered biased against the Senator but I think if anyone has demonstrated the capacity to put up with unfair criticism in Puerto Rican politics, it is him!Pr4ever 03:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad edits reverted

User:Prwolverine has ben doing POV, WP:OR, un-sourced changes to this article. I have reverted to the state previous to his edits. While I dodn't necessarily endorse the version I reverted to, his edits where definitely not good. I am posting welcomes etc as it seems like a new user. Thanks!--Cerejota 07:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
