Sounds familiar:
As far left as the DNC has marched in the last 40 years, the GOP has matched them step for step, proving that it is plagued with the same disease. The GOP cannot provide the cure, as long as it remains afflicted.
For the affliction warps the vision of the host such that avenues which lead to a cure are obscured.
No doubt you can develop a reputation in the area of political commentary there, but that's usually not as well-paying (as all of us on FR know).
Bringing in a smart guy from Canada may be a wise thing to do ~ and need I remind folks they have an IMPORTED GOVERNATOR there!
I'd like to note that the newspaper article writer, the commenter, and most of the Freepers on this thread (up to here) have confounded "illegal alien" with "immigrant" with H1B. These are all different concepts with different immigration status ~ quite easy to understand too, particularly if you know the difference between "legal" and "illegal".
That’s being kind. I’m not nearly so nice to the institutions of public instruction, because I think therein lies the strand that ties it all together.
The GOP at both the state and national levels, believes that it can march steadily leftward with utter impunity because they know most cannot read deeply enough on their own to draw any conlcusions that contradict with what is proffered by the MSM.
The arrogance of modern political power is firmly established — and wholly reliant — upon the compulsory educational DIS-ability inflicted upon the masses. This must be put to an end. We must revolutionize public education; liberate it from the iron grip of educrats, educational theorists, moneyed foundations, unions, and, most of all, government. Do this and we will unleash upon the American stage a revival of all the latent entrepreneurial power and industry that fuelled this nation’s meteoric rise from a boatload of impoverished outcasts at Plymouth in 1620 to a burgeoning industrial superpower just three centuries later.
The public schools must be run out of business, and replaced with private institutions that actually educate, as opposed to “schooling”; the future of the Republic entirely depends upon it.
Why is anyone posting anything from San Francisco?
There aren't even any Democrat "registered voters".
I believe you will find the same problem in Hawaii as well.
Canada = socialized medicine.
I wonder if this has anything to do with Arnold’s healthcare plans for the state.
Thus speaketh the true authority.
It's been pretty obvious for a long time that any Republican who wanted to make a career in political consultancy had best live somewhere else than California.
Total nonsense does become you. Do you plan on making a career of it?

Some of us have a life. I suggest you try it.

We have one here too, and he's a disaster for Republicans as is evidenced by the way he screwed the down ticket candidates in the last election. IIRC you supported him. Thanks a bunch.

Poppycock, but it does confirm your lack of reading skills. We're incensed that the CAGOP doesn't develop its own leadership from within the State. I don't give a crap whether the fellow is legal or not.
The point I made is that the smart guys in that field, or who can be expected to turn into smart guys, left California long ago, or they are in the process of leaving.
Think back to all the top star Republicans in the Solid South where all the elected officials were Democrats ~ there were none!
In brief, you don't really have the local talent interested in honing their skills (presumably as eternal losers) in the Golden State. That doesn't mean they aren't doing well elsewhere.
BTW, I am totally at a loss about your comment on having a foreign born governor in Virginia? We haven't done that since Colonial times.
I don't understand your question.
Works for me...
Kamburowski may have a little immigration probelm of his own. In today’s (June 24, 2007) SF Chronicle an article by Carla Marinucci and Lance Williams quotes the court documents showing that in 2001 the immigration court ordered Kamburowski deported. The article refers to court documents and records saying that Kamburowski came to the US in January 1995 “on a pleasure trip” and somehow managed to stay for two more years before he married an American who applied for greencard for him; however, he divorced that American after a year, and he article is silent on whether he got his greencard then; evidently not, because during this time, he was summoned to the court for deportation hearings, which he did not attend (he says he never received summons), and finally in May 2001 was ordered deported, without his presence. Two weeks afer this deportation order, in June 2001, Kamburowski married another American and again had a greencard application filed for him (meaning the first one was denied); however, in 2004 at the immigration interview he was faced with the outstanding deportation order and jailed pending removal. He is out on bail, and filed a lawsuit alleging that he was wrongly jailed. In short: according to the immigration service, Kamburowski is, or has been, an illegal alien. (Kamburowski, of course, denies that.) That’s rich. COO of CalGOP an illegal alien, and political director on H-1B visa.
Dunno about all that. My issue was with his cheap threats. Why do you think this whole situation is “rich?”
“Why do you think this whole situation is “rich?””
Because how could the CalGOP leadership be so oblivious to the background situation of the people they hire to the top positions? At least, they might have vetted the candidates that their personal history does not give rise to claims of hypocrisy. Nehring is a new top man in CalGOP (since February), and he is bringing in other Norquist people without regard whether it helps CalGOP cause or hurts it? One from Canada, the other a New Yorker from Australia whose residence has questionable legality? That’s just playing into the Democrats’ hands, that’s what it is.
Well I would have called that kind of stupidity “painful” to hear about. I’m wondering why you used “rich” as though you were enjoying this gaff.
