California GOP Officials Clash Over Gubernatorial Race

I wouldn't vote for Poizner for assembly and I wont vote for him for anything else.

When he was running for Assembly, he sent mailers to all the Dems and Independents trashing the GOP.

He also whines the rich aren’t being taxed enough.

RINOs vs. RINOs. Yawn.

I don’t really like Poizner’s position on abortion. He’s not really pro-life. He’s basically saying that he knows abortion is bad, but California won’t outlaw it.

“I am a pro-choice guy in one sense. I don’t believe that California is going to outlaw abortions anytime soon. Now I’m against abortions, and I want to work with people on all sides of this issue to drive the number of abortions down to zero. I do oppose late term abortions completely. I have supported and continue to support parental notification. Those are just common sense issues here. But this state’s not ready to outlaw them tomorrow. Instead, we need much more aggressive education programs to get people to understand that abortions really are a bad thing.”

Meg Whitman is no better. She’s also pro-abortion.

Meg Whitman is worse than Poizner. At least Poizner didn’t actually state that illegals should have full benefits like what Whitman stated. I saw the link here on FR but will have to find it..

Either way, if all we have are 2 RINO’s then it’s lost and all up to the GOP Cali Congressmen to bear with it again.

I nominate Tom McClintock. He may not be electable in Cal but at least I could vote for someone I think would be excellent for the state.

Meg Whitman is worse than Poizner.

You couldn't be more wrong. Poizner thinks all Republicans are scum. He ran for Assembly in my district in 2004.

Poizner donated money to the Al Gore recount fund in 2000 with his wife.

So Arnold can’t run again? Is it because he’s term limited or because he’s completely blown any credibility he had with California’s Republican Party?

God in Heaven I hope these to pant-loads are not the only two choices...

God in Heaven I hope these two pant-loads are not the only two choices...

A rino or a socialist. We all see how well that choice worked out last November.

Notice how the establishment is also trying to close off competition and go against rules to officially endorse in the primary their token ‘RINO’.

California currently has three “Republicans” running for Governor, and all three are RINOs.

So Arnold can’t run again? Is it because he’s term limited or because he’s completely blown any credibility he had with California’s Republican Party?

He's termed out.

But don't think he has blown credibility. The so-called "leadership" and big financial backers are happy as pie with what he has wrought. They are much the richer for it. The same people who brought us Arnie are now lining up with Meg Whitman.

The Media and Conservative Leaders and Voters in the GOP Should Talk to Gregg Cunningham.

What does Gregg Cunningham say about the situation in California, in our Country, and in the world? I happen to believe that Gregg Cunningham may be the leader that we need as Governor or California. (And / or as Pres. / VP at the national level.) Gregg has some limited experience in the Pennsylvania State Legislature.

I heard that he advised some people that they could accomplish more by being activists, rather than serving in government. But after this many years that Gregg has been an activist, I think that Gregg's talents would be put to better use if he were actively engaged in a statewide campaign for elective office. I think that Gregg Cunningham has the character, experience and leadership that we need as Governor of California.

First, his civilian bio, and then his military bio...

Gregg Cunningham earned a BA degree from The Pennsylvania State University and a JD degree from The Ohio Northern University School of Law where he served as executive editor of the Law Review. He is the co-author of a handbook on attorney misconduct entitled “Ethics And Discipline In Ohio” (Ohio State Bar Foundation, 1976).

He is a former two-term Member of The Pennsylvania House of Representatives where he introduced legislation which ended public funding for abortion. He was also a prime sponsor of the Abortion Control Act which was litigated before the U.S. Supreme Court in Thornburgh v. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He later helped direct the ballot initiative campaign which stopped public funding for abortion in Colorado.

During the first Reagan Administration he served as a political appointee in the U.S. Department of Education and later in The Office of Legislative Affairs with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. He next served as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles.

He is a retired U.S. Air Force Reserve Colonel with six years of active duty service and twenty-five years in the ready reserve. He is also a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War.

After leaving active duty, he served as an aircraft maintenance officer and later as a military lawyer with units of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. He then served as an intelligence officer with the 140th Tactical Fighter Wing of the Colorado Air National Guard.

During temporary duty assignments at the Pentagon, he helped coordinate drug enforcement policy for the National Guard Bureau and provided staff support (Political Military Affairs) for the Commanders in Chief, Major Commands/Joint Chiefs of Staff War Game.

He spent the last eleven years of his military career assigned to the Pentagon, first as a Logistics Plan & Program staff officer and then as an intelligence officer with the Checkmate Division of the Air Force Staff and then in the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Readiness. During the former assignment he helped plan the logistical support for the air campaign conducted during the Persian Gulf War.

FYI - Lois Cunningham, R.N.

Lois Cunningham is a public health nurse with a background in school nursing and maternal/fetal health. She helped establish two crisis pregnancy medical clinics in Los Angeles County (in Glendale and Hollywood) and served from 1988 to 1995 as the Executive Director.

Mrs. Cunningham now serves as the Director of Crisis Pregnancy Outreach for the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform. In this capacity, she offers consultation to crisis pregnancy centers across the country, training them to convert to medical clinics and to be more effective in reaching and meeting the needs of abortion-vulnerable women. She is a frequent conference presenter for National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (N.I.F.L.A.), a national organization which provides legal services for crisis pregnancy centers. In addition, Mrs. Cunningham is a regular seminar presenter for ALSUP (Advanced Life Support for Unplanned Pregnancies), an association which trains physicians and allied health care professionals to care for patients facing crisis pregnancies. This cutting-edge course is modeled after other advanced life support courses which have long been integrated into medical and nursing training.

Mrs. Cunningham directed a task force to establish Choices Medical Clinic which opened December 6, 1999 and is located in Wichita, Kansas. This crisis pregnancy medical clinic is located next door to the largest abortion facility in the Midwest, one which specializes in late term abortions.

CBR Director and Deputy Director, Gregg & Lois Cunningham (husband and wife) fight abortion through adoption.

Our wonderful little daughters, Annie, Alice and Amy Cunningham, were abandoned at birth, along roads in various parts of China, because they had cleft lip, cleft palate and other developmental defects. They are unbelievably smart, funny and very pro-life.

It properly observes that our United States owes observance to the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God

If Congress has no place to protect the Right to Life, it has no foundation.

Point / Counterpoint? - or, saying the same thing...?

The Constitution makes it abundantly clear that the PRIMARY role of a President is to protect the country. That is the reason he is made commander-in-chief and the reason, other than declaring war which is reserved for Congress, why the Constitution provides wide latitude to the office of President toward the military and for handling foreign affairs.

Every other duty of the President is subservient to that role as defender of our nation and its people.

I believe he does not respect the Constitution and recognize truly what role the office is given by it.
(excerpts, from ...(The Constitution says main duty of POTUS) - FR 1-22-09: by bestintxas)

To: bestintxas

The President’s role is to protect and defend the Constitution. Not to create a nanny state and take away my rights.

If it’s the role of gov’t to keep us safe then throw away the ideas of driving, having guns, raising kids and playing football.

It is my job to keep myself safe and exercise my rights.

We shall see what happens in the future, but being ‘safe’ is not a right.

To: BGHater

My interpretation is that the Constitution spells out the Government's role to keep Americans safe from foreign entities and secondly to keep Americans safe from an intrusive federal Government.

As a country, we are failing on the latter and let’s all hope we don’t on the former, or we are lost forever.

On This Day, We Remember
redstate.com ^ | 1/22/2009 | Leon H. Wolf

The primary function of any just government is to prevent and punish the taking of innocent human life. To but state the proposition is to prove it.

Nevertheless, 36 years ago today, in the tradition of Scott v. Sanford, the Supreme Court of the United States took it upon themselves to declare that a certain class of humans were not really humans at all. In Dred Scott, the Supreme Court declared that certain humans were not humans and therefore could be enslaved. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court declared that certain humans were not humans and therefore not entitled to have government prevent or punish their unjust killing. Worse, that the government was constitutionally prevented from preventing or punishing their unjust killing.

Take a stand, even if you never have before. Pray, grieve for the lost children, find something to do to help.
