In a post earlier - George lambasted Connie Conway, the imperial Republican Permanent Minority Leader for one of the most absurd campaign tactics ever... she mailed the donors of Andy Pugno. I was ready to move on in the AD06 race until that gross act of stupidity...
Remember the ridiculous initiative against the State Senate Districts? The CAGOP emptied their treasury and Dave Gilliard pocketed an estimated $200k in Consulting fees for/from? Dave Gilliard decided to take the money and run. Today, the capitol alert released a...
This is old news. It happened in March. The GOP endorsed Log-Cabin Republican Carl DiMaio over Nathan Fletcher. Fletcher had decided on many occasions to go Abel Maldonado on the GOP, often apparently for his own political gain. However, that does not absolve the...
Doug LaMalfa was the choice of the GOP establishment for California's First Congressional District. What happens when you have a candidate campaigning as "One of Us" who gets exposed for ethical issues and for taking $5million in Farm Welfare? All of his primary...
Charles Munger has to be pissed. One of his poster children has ditched the GOP. I liked Bruce McPherson - I know he was a complete Mod, but in Santa Cruz County, I was glad there was some sort of Republican presence there. Not anymore. Like Jim Jeffords and Arlen...

Folks - out of fairness to the people on the CRP leadership, I am posting this. I am still angry over what was done and the joke of a system that the electeds foisted on us because, fearing a loss of control, they came in late and sabotaged the "Nehring Plan" at...
Let me start by saying that I am not aligned politically with the Tehama GOP within the GOP political strata. They have been / are in the LaMalfa/Nielsen Camp - the regular readers of this blog know that I use LaMalfa and Nielsen as a punching bag regularly. That...
In the last 24 hours I got two emails: The first shows a very young Gentlemen Jim Nielsen with Pete Wilson advertising a fundraiser. The Email was sent from a Vanessa McCarthy-Olmstead - McCarthy? I'd assume a relation to Kevin McCarthy, the godfather of the...
The "leadership" of the California Republican Party are notorious conflict avoiders, they are also skilled at nuance. For example, when a Central Committee deadlocks on an endorsement and can't reach 2/3 - it does not count as "taking an action", don't you know....
