You are in luck my friend. Bill Simon is the next Ronald Reagan. He has nearly identical issue positions, he is a warm and personable guy, people take to him like velcro when they meet him. He is a man of uncompromising principle and strong moral character.

I'm sorry you've been let down by some Republican capitulators over the years. So have I. But I've stuck around to fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. Bill Simon as governor and as the titular head of the Republican Party in California is the kind of guy who put us will back on the path to the party of Reagan and Goldwater.

You are welcome back. Let's stand shoulder-to-shoulder and reclaim the party of small government and of individual rights. I'll go knocking on doors anywhere in the state and help you register Reps. We can rebuild. We've done it before. The clouds are breaking and I can see a ray of sunshine illuminating the gloomy world of freedom loving people in California -- his name is Bill Simon.

Great article that lays out the case for Simon as the best thing for conservatives and the GOP -- despite a lot of stupidity by our leaders. Fortunately, Paul Weyrich knows what leadership is and never wavers from it.

It is a shame that the liberal newpapers in California would never print something like this. It is going to depend on conservatives doing it door-to-door (hardwood door or electronic door as the case may be).

So get busy!

Boy, I haven't been around for awhile (it's hard to have any time on-line with four kids and Christmas coming up!) and I'm glad to see that everything I heard about Bill Simon is true.

My neighbor told me about him a couple months ago, and I liked what I heard, and as I've been catching up on reading this morning I've realized Bill Simon actually has a chance to win!

I am so frustrated by liberals --- Republicans and Democrats --- that sometimes I think I should just leave California and move to Wyoming or Montana or someplace like that (but I don't like the snow). Why can't the Republicans realize that if they put up someone like Riordan that we just won't vote? I won't vote for Riordan. Why should I? So he can raise my taxes like Davis? So he can use my tax money to kill innocent babies by ripping them from their mother's wombs? So he can throw more of my money into the failed education system? So he can throw my husband out of business with more taxes and regulations? So he can let gays marry and adopt innocent children? No thank you!

Richard Riordan will never get my vote because he is just like Gray Davis. He's no better, and sounds even more liberal on issues like the death penalty and education.

I am sick and tired of people telling my how to keep my children safe, what color I can paint my house, that sex education is great and wonderful and I'm naive if I think my kids aren't going to have sex in high school, talking about homosexuals and gay marriage and condoms is mandatory, but God is a no-no. A liberal is a liberal is a liberal, whether they are a Republican like Riordan or a Democrat like Davis.

Wow! Sorry for the length of the post, but I just had to get that off my chest!

I can put my trust in someone like Bill Simon. Right now, I like him a lot and everything I heard is positive (pro-life, pro-gun, cutting taxes, fixing roads, bringing God back into public discourse) ... and I know I can support him. I wish I had more time to volunteer! I like what that one guy said on this board about convincing two people to vote for Simon. I'm going to make a list of ten people and email or write them every week until the election and tell them all about Simon and why they should vote for him ... and then call them on election day so they don't forget!

Dan, thanks for your great reply to me, however, when the repub senate let the traitor off the hook in the farce impeachment "trial", they lost me forever.
Those fbi files must be loaded with scandals.
