Jim, post in whatever forum(s) you see best.
Do you have the Hunter interactive thread right handy?
Ping—if you’re not in CA, possibly a template to use in your state....
Please forgive me if I don’t make a personal reply to every post and Freepmail on this particular thread as it may become very busy....
I looked but did not find the primary-season Hunter thread(s). Possibly Pissant can help with the link(s).
I have a question/comment. In CA, and most of the country, the GOP seems to bend over backwards to find moderates. The result has been a loss of power in many traditional conservative areas.
Why not go wall-to-wall conservative in the upcoming elections in CA? There is truly nothing to lose, and much to gain. Get grassroot types that are not afraid of campaigning on the ground. It it is matter of educating people in CA about conservatism. Look what happened with Prop 8. The majority voted along conservative lines, and held the ground for family values. We can use this to springboard into power in CA, or anywhere.
For the California FReepers on the ping list!
What is being done or will be done about the Umpteen Million illegal aliens in CA ???
I concur, 100%. We the people have HAD it with the mushy middle.
What really are the best “foolproof ways” of making California’s economy healthy for the long-term?
Ron-
The unions seem to have a death grip on the legislature...This suggest we will be at an impasse forever. What can the grassroots do to nudge them off the tax and spend more mantra they espouse. (other than obvious letters to the editor)For example are their particular legislators on the other side of the isle that may support the GOP? Not a full fledged NY revolt, but more that they would vote with you on a tax issue.
Thanks for the questions. Keep ‘em coming!
Why should conservatives stay with the GOP, when it is clearly the Rino Party both nationally and in the majority of states?
Respectfully, I would prefer a better answer than: “it’s the only alternative.”
Thank you for sharing on FR.
Thanks. This is a great opportunity not for Californians but for all of us if we decide to follow your lead as you suggested, SOA.
Like it or not, many political observers believe that California is a bellwether state. As you go, so do we. How does CA GOP leadership view its role in this respect and what exactly are its legislative priorities in the short term going into 2010, and beyond?
On bahalf of all of us at USD-AV, and particularly our colleague and partner Senator Don Rogers, a member of the California legislature (and before that the Bakersfield Council) until term-limited, why doen’t the GOP launch a drive to drill, mine, use the better, cheaper, cleaner, higher-mileage patented gasoline and other measures to make California the oil-rich producing state equal to those in the Middle East that it can be? What has the GOP gained by kowtowing to mistaken notions and arguments and theories of the environmentalists that have blocked California’s oil potential when it is the obvious answer to the state’s econmoic problems?
I think the chairman of the New Jersey Republican Party is a Democrat.
****sigh****
Hunter Ambassador or somethimng like that for a FReeper name...
Duncan Hunter’s son...
He had a LIVE thread one time for about an hour..
Pissant arranged it...
I have a question. It seems to me that republicans do not clearly tell their voters why they voted a certain way. The left will pick on one thing and slam their opponents for it and the public never really hears the truth. **Ex. in VA rep voted against extending unemployment benefits, the dems are saying the reps do not care about the unemployed. The reps are not saying it was because of the added items in the bill (extra taxes to bus, giving part times unemployment (who never had it) and the ties on the stimulus. How can the republicans better inform the Calif. people so that the lefts lies do not stick in the minds of the voters.
How do conservatives successfully get the majority of California VOTERS to willingly vote for conservatives, at every political level, during the next state election and beyond?
PING to # 17
