One RINO down.....how many to go?????
Is this a report that was placed in a time capsule? McCloskey left the Republican Party during the Nixon administration. Must be a slow news day to recycle this old stuff.
McCloskey destroyed millions of jobs and ruined the tranquility of countless families with his Marxist Endangered Species Act. But I would expect no less from this filthy fascist scum.
San Mateo county... too close to San Fran to have any good Republicans.
He’s right about the GOP. They are a bunch of hacks and fundamentalist know-nothings who have done little to promote actual conservatism.
Good riddance, punk.
Every county in the U.S. has “good Republicans.” Be fair about this. McCloskey stinks, but there are good Republicans everywhere even if they’re a small minority. Even small minorities deserve to be recognized. It’s often not easy to be one.
Lying sack of sh*t. The only thing this pansy ever farmed was his mailbox the first of every month, when the Ag subsidy check arrived.
I’m glad you are there!!
Thanks. A few of us do what we can in this state. Many others, of course, are wimps.
Good for Republicans. Another RINO gone. How many are left?
1948? Where are you getting this? Abortion had been common practice in Moscow until Stalin found that they weren't producing enough good little communists. In California, abortion had been illegal since the 1860s and the law had not changed since 1872, allowing abortion only to save the life of the mother. In 1967, a democrat state lawmaker (Beilenson) pushed to liberalize the laws for just three reasons: to allow abortion in the case of rape, incest, or where the baby might be deformed. (His proposal was backed by the AMA, so I think your 1948 estimate is probably a couple decades off).
Governor Ronald Reagan's first response as "Here's an emotional problem that has so many facets of consideration. It is not only spiritual, but also legal... when does life begin? What right does the unborn life have? What legal right? I'm not prepared to answer now."
In subsequent statements, Reagan took great exception to the portion of the law addressing the possibilty of deformity. "I am satisfied in my own mind we can morally and logically justify liberalized abortions to protect the health of a mother. I cannot justify the taking of an unborn life simply on the supposition that the baby may be born less than a perfect human being... [this kind of thing] wouldn't be much different from what Hitler tried to do."
The deformity provision was dropped shortly thereafter. The final statute permitted abortions in the case of forcible rape, incest, statutory rape if the victim was under 15 years old or if there was a "substantial risk" that continued pregnancy would "gravely impair" the "physical or mental health" of the mother.
The issue then had little to do with "limited government," nor does it now (imo).
Not interested in HASBEENS
the driveby media finds an over the hill rino and thinks it's news
Why didn’t he just re-register as “Decline to State”?
you bad, yez siree you is bad. :-)
McCloskey says he is disgusted with the “succession of ethical scandals, congressmen taking bribes and abuse of power by both the Republican House leadership and the highest appointees of the White House.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess we may assume from this statement that the Scandals and bribes, and crooked deals taken by democrats dont bother him in the least.
He disgusts me.
Who?
