My Picks For Californias Primary

6/3/14 | OneVike

[OneVike]

My Statewide Choices:

California Governor ;
Tim Donnelly
Donnelly is a Republican State Assemblyman who deserves your vote. He is not as smooth-talking as other politicians, but he believes in Constitutionally-limited government and wants to apply the Constitution according to its original intent, per the Federalist Papers and other historical writings of its Framers.

If you are considering Neel Kashkari for Governor, wake up and smell the coffee. Not only did this idiot support and vote for Obama against John McCain in 2008, but he is being pushed by the Republican establishment. He's a big-government RINO who even endorsed Sharia Law bank reforms, under the TARP stimulus, which calls for banking regulations to be consistent with the principles of Sharia Law, according to Islamic economic ideas. So that portions of bank earnings will be donated to Muslim groups promoting the goal of Jihad, as well as the elevation of Sharia above the U.S. Constitution. Kashkari was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Bush 43, where he promoted Sharia-compliant finance in the process of acquiring the too-big-to-fail AIG.
=====================================================================================
California Lieutenant Governor;
Ron Nehring
Nehring is a small businessman and educator who believes in holding to the Constitution as originally intended. He wants to limit the government, not empower it to do more damage than it already does. Less is more when it comes to government involvement in economic matters, healthcare, or making changes to Proposition 13--which should be left alone and not altered in any way. There are two other Republicans running in the primary for this position. But Ron Nehring is the most desirable with respect to the ideal of having a smaller government.
=====================================================================================
California Secretary of State;
Pete Peterson
Peterson is listed on the ballot as "Educator/Institute Director." There is one other Republican on the ballot who is a state employee who is a little bit too supportive of perpetuating the big government. Let us please not split the Republican vote here. Vote for Peterson in hopes of getting him into the general election. Secretary of State is a powerful position in California. We need a Secretary of State who believes in voter ID laws and who will lead on that notion. We want no more elections cycles that are so corrupt as to call into question the results of such important a public trust as election to high office.
=====================================================================================
California Controller;
Ashley Swearengin
Ashley is the Republican Mayor of the City of Fresno. He is in favor of small-government solutions to issues about 66% of the time. This makes him better by far than anyone else in the race. It would be nice if that percentage were higher. But he is the best candidate in the field, hands down.
=====================================================================================
California Treasurer;
Greg Conlon
Conlon is the Republican Businessman and CPA on the ballot. He is the most conservative small business supporting Republican rujnning. Here is what I know about Greg Conlon: He does not favor any tax increases, and he wants the people to make their own healthcare decisions--not the government! I am not sure what his position on Prop. 13 is but I his opponents definitely want to change Prop. 13 to make homeowners and businesses all pay more!
=====================================================================================
California AttorneyGeneral;
John Haggerty
Haggerty is the best Republican running for Attorney General in my estimation. He edges out David King, who would be the number two pick for this office. King is also a Republican. John Haggerty, however, gets is a Constitutional Originalist, while King favors more judicial activism. Even if you are a registered Libertarian who likes to vote party-line, you are probably not serving the cause of libertarianism because the Libertarian running supports bigger government and more government intrusion than either Republican running.
=====================================================================================
California Insurance Commissioner;
Ted Gaines
As an Independent Insurance Agent gaines supports smaller small-government solutions over more regulations. He is a supporter of free markets and wants the government to stop regulating the implementation of health insurance. He is against any kind of a tax increase and against changing Prop. 13. He also is for tort reform in order to reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits in the state.
=====================================================================================
California Superintendent of Public Instruction;
Lydia A Gutierrez
Gutierrez is a Republican Teacher and Neighborhood Council Member, neither of her Democrat opponents come anywhere close to supporting homeschooling the way she does. She is also an advocate of school accountability to the community, while she also wants to keep taxes low.

Again, my Statewide Choices are:
==============================
California Governor;
Tim Donnelly
==============================
California Lieutenant Governor;
Ron Nehring
==============================
California Secretary of State;
Pete Peterson
==============================
California Controller;
Ashley Swearengin
==============================
California Treasurer;
Greg Conlon
==============================
California AttorneyGeneral;
John Haggerty
==============================
California Insurance Commissioner;
Ted Gaines
==============================
California Superintendent of Public Instruction;
Lydia A Gutierrez

Agreed! All the people supporting Kashkari are from the VERY moderate side of the repub party.

Since I wouldn’t vote for any of those people supporting Kashkari, I surely will not vote for him.

However, I am curious about this attack on Donnelly regarding his being “on probation”. What is that all about ..?? Can anybody point me to that info ..??

The DEMOCRAT run schools are teaching our children to hate America.

FIRST WAY TO FIX IT .. GET RID OF UNIONS IN PUBLIC SECTORS; govt, schools, etc.

Until we are fearless enough to do that .. NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE.

WHY DO YOU THINK NOBODY IN D.C. EVER GETS FIRED ..??
UNIONS WON’T ALLOW IT.

Better wake up America.

I wondered why my ballot said “no party preference”.

And .. does anybody know where the schools are that Tuck is supposed to have turned around. In all his flyers, there is no mention of a school name ..??

[CyberAnt]

Okay .. just check’n.

Great list OneVike, however, not one of them is going to get elected.

So true. El GOP no se puede i Mexifornia.

Still worth voting (barely), however, in some districts for US Congress and state assembly/senate seats.
