Saxton spent a lot of time on Lars Larson, and was grilled by him and callers on a range of issues. Almost all his issues were to my satisfaction for a guy more acceptable than the current guv. Afterall, it is Oregon.
Saxton went to school with friends of mine, and is regarded as a fiscal conservative. He is running as a conservative, and says he doesn't support gay marriage; supports gun rights; and opposes illegal immigration and amnesty. I have even heard him suggest its time to start kicking illegals off the Oregon benefits train, and to get a batter handle on just how many illegal aliens are in the Oregon State Prison system (900+ at a cost of $65 million per year).
Saxton DID make some contributions to democrats. But the worst appears to be Blumenauer, Wyden. And the years in which they were made, Saxton gave more to the republicans running. The confusion arises, perhaps, from his law firm's giving. Most I am familiar with hedge their bets, as did his.
I sincerely hope Saxton is the next Governor of Oregon. Hope my fellow prisoners here would agree. Face it. Oregon is not some state that is going to give us a JD Hayworth, Jon Kyle, Tom Tancredo, or something like that.
The Multnomah County Judicial race for Position 31 will be a runoff between Kathleen Payne (super-liberal who has made a career of sucking at the public trough) and Cheryl Albrecht. I voted for Cheryl and will do all I can to get her elected. I urge all Multnomah County voters to give their support to Cheryl!
