Talk about your unholy alliances.
the New Majority, which supports centrist Republicans..
They support diversity as well. Pro Choice/abortion,Pro Gun control, Pro-GLBT, Pro Green, you name it, pretty hard to distinguish from a lot of Rats in many ways.
They pay a lot of lip service to conservatism but have a hrard time even being a decent Republican when ya look at what they stand for.
We got a dilemna on our hands..
FoR my even posting this and because it was on the La Times, ,, I and its content will likely be abused, keep an eye out for who the abusers are? Party on.
It's not like some here haven't been warning of essentially a one party system arising, with actors and elites leading it and both sides sharing the spoils and runup up massive spending and debt.. and saying we need to do even more.
Ca GOP Party Faithful. Take back the party.
The platforms that were successful before are still there tho they are ignored for the most part by those now 'leading' the party.
Toss the bums out!
In CA I'm tired of the battle between "more conservative than thou" and the rest. Once state office nominations are made in the primary process we should support whoever isn't the liberal, socialist, MeCHA RAT. The state is so extreme to the Left in the legislature that we need to do all we can just to keep it from becoming a monolithic super majority. We're too close to the edge in CA between the over-run of illegals, the union power grip and out of state interests we can't afford to be eating our own.
Nationally, however, things are different. We've got the (supposed) best case of a Republican President and significant Congressional majorities. And what is that getting us? Run-away spending, open borders, amnesty... it's repugnant and the party on the national level needs to be taken to task. They pay lip service to notions of "conservative" values, take contributions and when it comes to action they fold. In the 50th, we have a run-off between an unqualified socialist and a RINO because conservatives split among several alternatives. That's not a winning strategy. Maybe Bilbray can be knocked off in the June primary (rather than the runoff special election) if we can unify behind a candidate.
For good or ill, Arnold's our best defense in state politics and has done some good: more jobs, improved business climate, some workman's comp reform, tax reductions, no driver's licenses for illegals, no gay marriages, against Meathead's preschool initiative, Tookie was executed, took on the unions last year, tried to get parental notification passed... When you get disgusted with Arnold try to remember Gray Davis.
