If any freepers don't know who Herschensohn is, he is the longtime voice of conservatism in California. In the 80s he was a regular sparring partner on TV with the ultra-lib John Tunney, an ex-senator. He's been on radio and TV down the years as the state's most effective spokesman for responsible conservative government. He came within an eyelash of beating Boxer for senate in the early 90s- -- but didn't get strong support from the "moderate" moneybags in the party (the same folks who withheld bucks from McClintock when he was running for controller. Herschensohn puts common sense and principle first - - and doesn't believe in compromising away the basics of our conservative faith. Neither does Tom. Neither do I.

Actually, saying Herschensohn was a "sparring partner" with Tunney doesn't tell the story - - - he regularly gave the guy a verbal and intellectual thrashing (in a gentlemanly way). Nobody can out-debate this guy. And nobody is a more reliable conservative. Obviously, he doesn't bend to pressure or the fads pushed or followed by the party hacks or fair-weather conservatives who fall for the first liberal film star who looks their way. He stands firm for the principles that we need if we're going to get out of our mess. Same with McClintock.

When you elect cruz and figure out it is time bail on CA,
for G-d's sake don't bring your type of suicidal politics to AZ. We have enough of a problem here already without dealing with more California psychos.
