The leveraged buyout of the formerly grand OLD party by the most liberal Governor in the history of the republic and his rich cronies continues apace.

The current crop of candidates for Governor of California are Socialist termites, just like the sitting occupant.

You don't have to worry, the next governor of California will be former Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, Diane Feinstein, or John Garamendi...it won't be a Republican. The socialist hordes have simply won the demographic game. Moreover, without replacing the Marxists in the legislature it won't matter. California’s governorship isn't that strong.

Sad to say, Jerry Brown would be an improvement over Ah-nold.

I am sure you could do worse than her in California, and on the upside, we won’t have to look at Romney in 2012 running for President. He will after all be supporting someone whose stance on the issues are the same as his ‘used to be.’ *wink* wink*

California Republicans had better get a candidate that’s better on RKBA than Whitman, Campbell or Poizner because believe it or not Jerry Brown’s better than all three of them. Good enough to make it a one issue decision and most educated California gun owners, myself included, will vote for him over them.

Yes, and she won’t be getting my vote. She was also a donor to Kerry’s campaign.

That’s all I need to know.

I heard him being interviewed by Bill Bennett about doing this campaign trip and romney claims, “I just don't get it... I cannot understand why President obama allowed pelosi and reid to write his bill”. It is very evident that both Bennett and romney are clueless... they both think hussein is still a moderate... and that although the bailout is horrible... that we need to stop being obstructionists (a carville-ism) that we must concentrate on trying to ensure that it is implemented in the best way. How are they going to pull that off? It was rammed up the repubics backside with the help of three traitors and hussein is an uber leftist and the bill is fatally flawed (it is going to kill this Nation) and they are both just go along to get along milq toast repubic rinos... always have been... always will be.

No, she's been a Romneyite from the start. She endorsed McCain after Romney did last year and became Queeg's National co-chair.

Meg Whitman

Romney "Massachusetts sick son", the Master of TeamHATE, is actually a Carpetbagger
who has FLED Massachusetts after screwing it up, and being
exposed for the utter phoney Romney really is.

Romney would never succeed with this Office in Massachusetts... because they know him.

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Romney) lost Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

Indeed.

During the last campaign when all the Romneybots claimed that he had a "pro-life conversion", and that I was a hateful bigot for identifying his pro-culture of death record, I always said that if you want to know what a politicians actual convictions are look at the record not what he says.

NO PERSON WITH PRO-LIFE CONVICTIONS WOULD EVER SUPPORT A PRO-ABORTION CANDIDATE.

I was hopeful that Mitt really did have a conversion and that he would take the next four years to prove it. He has proved the opposite. Now he needs to go away with the rest of the RINOs.

Remember his speech when he dropped out of the race last
year? It was a very conservative speech that could’ve been written by one of us. But like a politician he was just blowng smoke.
