If by the "John and Ken" solution do you mean the horrid Edwards/Kerry ticket?

Like I wrote, voting for Democrats is even worse today than for Republicans but what I am finding very uncomfortable about the GOP in CA is this:

-- they withhold/fail/refuse to provide voters with explanations about their plans and intentions, leaving us to expect things that they later reveal they intended either the opposite or not anything related

-- they offer candidates that are marginal at best and actually discourage voting as a Republican as to candidate leaving many of us to try to continue to exercise the 'faith vote' as to party only (better than not voting)

-- they aren't strong and persistent and effective enough about conservative concerns and embarrass voters afterward when important issues become secondary to the eventual negative campaigning in CA by the persistently negative Democrats


That's for starters. As I wrote, the Demos are even worse so I'm not even going there but the GOP has a lot of work to do in the sincerity department if it wants to maintain any voter support in the state other than hardcore party-liners who want what the Demos want anyway: bigger government, lax security ("too expensive" and "hurts the bottom line") and just about anyone here in the state from wherever because they're source of cheap labor ("helps our bottom line").

Depressing place, California.

Excuse me, did I write that? No, I was talking about their campaign against Dreier last fall, "taking out" one---JUST ONE---Republican from the California delegation so that the immigration issue would finally get the RNC's attention, and I specifically stated I wasn't prepared to do something like that...yet. (Anyway, I don't remember John and Ken coming out in support of Kerry/Edwards last year, do you?)

BTW, I don't appreciate people taking my posts and distorting them: that's bayourod's job. I haven't posted in favor of Kerry or Edwards ever on this forum and you're not about to make it look like I'm doing so now.

Besides, I later posted you to support the candidacy of Jim Gilchrist, for the Republican ticket, for Chris Cox's seat. What do you say about that?
