June 9, 2011: SEIU vows to play a role in Republican races for Legislature, elect more moderates [updated] "....Notably, SEIU declined to put a dollar amount on its effort, only saying "we are going to spend as much money as we have to spend to be effective." The union estimates it has roughly 87,000 Republican members. On a conference call Thursday, a handful of GOP members described the effort as a chance to moderate a party that has been "hijacked" by conservative activists and political ideologues...."

Reinvent itself?

Some would go much further than that...

RE :"With proposed new district boundaries, Republicans must recruit more moderate candidates and find common ground with more Californians, experts say. ********* [snip] Labor unions, which are Democrats' biggest allies, say the combination of the "top-two" primary system and the new political maps creates unprecedented opportunities for them to influence Republican races. "

Didnt the RNC try this with RINO Steele who now is working for MSNBC? I dont know of anyone that he or his RINO sister Megan 'Ms Piggy' McCain got to vote Republican.

How about RINO Arnold ??? What good did he do in CA?

The unions own the California Democrat party, if this story is true, then it tells me they (the union) can see the future, and it does not include Democrats.

I will not support or vote for any Republican that takes their money.

At this stage I would rather the state goes down with Democrats at the helm, because as sure as I am sitting here the media will portray the Republicans as the ones that caused it.

No one should be surprised by this. I’ve been sounding the alarm about it for the last 4 years or so here in Michigan. Unfortunately nobody wanted to hear about it because we were focused on defeating the democrats.

Our current state senate majority leader was a co sponsor of a bill that forced thousands of home child care workers into the union. The man who sponsored that bill in the first place was republican Jason Allen who narrowly lost the primary against Dan Benishek for the seat vacated by Bart Stupak.

Nothing gets better if we choose to look the other way when our own side is screwing us.

GOP Senators, SEIU Taxpayer Giveaways, Campaign Cash and More, OH MY!(Michigan 09)

California is the next Michigan.

This is what you get with liberals in complete, never-ending control of a government (city, state or federal).

[freekitty]

Take the union help or money GOP and you are history.

[kittymyrib]

Uh, no....I’d say that the GOP should get some backbone, stick to the principle of MUCH smaller, less oppressive government, and let the Democrats continue to run the CA statehouse until it implodes.
The Republicans should refuse the role of the Pooper-Scooper Party, destined to clean up the mess created by the Socialist Democrat Party. Then it is attacked by the msm for being mean and heartless for their efforts at cutting 1% of the budget, while the Democrats don’t even propose a budget, as we see in the federal budget fight. Even Republicans should catch on to how the game is played after 50 years.

Survive? California has been gone for a while and is never coming back.

translation: SEIU is preparing a hostile takeover of the California GOP

[Cheetahcat]

California can never come back long as ONE democrat remains in Government.

Last week, the Service Employees International Union launched a political action committee aimed at helping moderate Republicans be elected to the Legislature.

Awwwwwwww. It's so sweet.
