The problem is that most GOP candidates are patsies and panzies. They have no fight in them, are afrain of their own shadowm and would rather die than fight. If they only fought the fight, we would not be all upset over here, because our agenda would be being implemented. Its like Robert the Bruce in Braveheart.

Its like Robert the Bruce in Braveheart..

An excellent analogy. That's it exactly!

Good analogy!

But I have a bit of hope and optimism... because the establishment in the Republican/Conservative universe does catch on eventually.

I remember working for Howard in the early days of the recall. Outside of McClintock, Shawn Steel, Melanie Morgan, Ted Costa, Eric Hogue, Roger Hedgecock and Lew Uhler it was T O U G H getting people motivated.

Gradually, little by little people started coming on board.

By the time that Issa came in with $1.7 million things were superheated and EVERYONE tried to pretend they were there all along.

I think if Howard can win and if Maddox and Oller can win (two local races where immigration has emerged) then I think GOP leaders will try to co-opt the message and say "yeah, we Californians live this experience uniquely and understand that rewarding people for breaking the law is wrong. Amnesty is wrong. Drivers licenses are wrong."

They'll pretend they were with us all along!
