If she's for smaller, less intrusive government, it goes without saying that she's more like Reagan and less like Bush.

She's one of the top RINOs in California. This race is going to come down to her and Campbell. Gilchrist will probably draw off enough votes to hand it to Brewer who will pick up crossover Dems (special election) and RINOs votes.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. Former Orange County Congressman Jerry Patterson, a leading Democrat, has endorsed Brewer too. Better yet, go to the websites for Campbell (campbellforcongress.com) and Brewer (marilynbrewerforcongress.com) to compare where they stand on the issues. If you’re a Democrat or a progressive, you’ll see that you have far more in common with Brewer than Campbell.

Democrats in the 48th might want a Democrat representing them in Congress, but in the real world of politics, we need Marilyn Brewer to be the highest Republican vote getter. Act accordingly.

LOL, the media just can't wait to grab hold of stories like this claiming everyone is against Bush. This woman deserves to lose the election if she's this big of a coward and in an overwhelmingly Republican district. And to go and hand the media feces another opportunity to beat Bush over the head, she ought to be ashamed. Maybe she ought to look at the internals on these polls that are making her run like a scared rabbit and see that they disproportionately over-represent Democrats. The last thing we need is anothing poll-deceived twit in Congress. Jim Gilchrist deserves to win this seat.

"The former state assemblywoman also praised Nancy Reagan for her devotion to stem cell research,"


Oh yeah, that'll bring conservatives running. LOL

The nation's only open House seat? Somehow I doubt that.

It's pretty bad when both conservatives and RINOs are pissed at the Pres. And I thought GWB and Rove and all the political geniuses there had figured out how to make everyone in America love Bush? Hmmm...maybe they aren't geniuses after all.

Now...as much as I don't care for the Bush administration's profoundly non-conservative domestic agenda, I would add that if this dame is a liberal on social issues, then she ain't no Reagan tax cutter and hawk on spending.

If someone is a liberal on social issues, then they are going to betray you on fiscal issues, also. There are no part-RINOs out there. That's my opinion, at least.

The former state assemblywoman also praised Nancy Reagan for her devotion to stem cell research, an issue that has bedeviled the Bush White House. And she touts as her prize endorsement Sen. John McCain, the president's sometime rival and critic.

For these two reasons, she's a RINO.

With Jim Gilchrist in the race, we have lost the seat anyway. This is one "Republican" we really don't need. It's not up to me, I don't live in the district or the state, but if I did this would be one rino who have to get elelected without me. If she is a cancer now, she'll be worse in Congress. I wish Gilchrist could win, but that aint happening.

Ethics cited in Brewer censure
September 29, 2005

The Orange County Republican Party on Wednesday censured 48th District Congressional candidate Marilyn Brewer for making several false claims about GOP opponent John Campbell, including that he day-traded energy stocks during the state's energy crisis, said Orange County GOP chairman Scott Baugh.

He said the party's ethics committee also found that Brewer violated ethics rules with campaign mailers about Campbell's position on stem cell research and his record on illegal immigration and a mailer that mentions the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Assn., which has endorsed Campbell.

Brewer could not be reached for comment late Wednesday.

The decision was the result of a complaint by Campbell, Baugh said. Brewer also was warned by the county GOP's ethics committee in 1994 following a complaint from Thomas G. Reinecke, whom she beat in a primary in her first race for the state Assembly.

In that case, she was admonished by the party; Baugh said being censured is more severe.

"Part of the report to me was that it's happened before and that affected the level" of the reproof, he said.

The party took no further action, so the finding is essentially a political tool to keep candidates in line. An egregious ethics breach could potentially get a person booted from the party's Central Committee, Baugh said, "but you can't kick somebody out of a party."

Earlier Wednesday, Campbell dismissed Brewer's statements about him as "flat out lying."

"It's disgusting and the people should absolutely reject it," Campbell said.

Brewer is keeping her distance from Bush, and is instead stressing her support for abortion rights and the environment to win the votes of moderate Republicans, Democrats and independents.

So she's pro abortion and pro enviro huh???

She sounds like a RINO to me

Clever strategy. She's trying to cobble together a coalition of RINOs and Democrats to make her way into the runoff. I don't think it will work. Cambell's many years of pounding the proverbial pavement on shows like Hugh Hewitt will soon pay their dividends.

More lies from the AP. Bush is not opposed to stem cell research - he is opposed to embryonic stem cell research. Once again, the media works to make sure the public thinks there is no difference.

The democrats are probably licking their chops, hoping the Republican vote gets split three ways, between Campbell (R), Brewer (R) and Gilchrist (I).

Campbell has the most money, and is the natural heir. Scott Baugh and Dana Rohrabacher support Campbell.

Campbell is like many country club Republicans--tough on illigal immigration, rhetorically, when they need to lay down some quotes. His position now, as a candidate, sounds good.

Too bad Gilchrist couldn't go to a district where he could easily get elected, instead of mucking this election up, possibly opening the door to a democrat.

In terms of probability, Brewer is the LEAST likely to prevail. She comes in fourth, behind Campbell, Gilchrist, the democrat.

Any politician that does that, and invokes the support of Ronald Reagan is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
