It is no secret. Deric Rothe, the flaming liberal editor of the Auburn Journal hates Conservatives and Republicans…
Case and point:
Article One - Tom McClintock Earmarked for Budget, Natural Resources Committee Posts in 2011.
Maybe Rothe’s pet cockroaches were trying to be clever with the title? Tom McClintock has famously signed the no new earmarks pledge – something Rothe and his crew have used repeatedly to get Scott Yuill, Rocky Rockholm and others in hot water with over the last two years.
Why? Because McClintock is regarded as someone who does not bring home the pork barrell spending within the district. Now, they turn the tables and use Earmark and McClintock in the same line… for search engines?
Article Number 2: Bag on Brian Jagger some more. In the process – try to tie Jagger’s maladies to Kirk Uhler and POOF guess who the Rothe’s Pet Cockroaches called this time?
Marlene George – queen of the Granite Bay NIMBY’s against Kirk Uhler. To Marlene’s credit – she did not take the bait thrown out by the AJ.
They could have called a number of people for balance, but this is the same paper that refused to correct a baltant lie about solar power contracts that were given to a company with a similar name – that was not owned by Uhler and Weygandt’s Brother.
Two-Plus years that lie has been allowed to stand. But, as I have written before – Deric Rothe is a convicted Cocaine Dealer who came to Placer County to find a soft-touch judge that restored his civil rights.
If Rothe started practicing journalism and stopped trying to destroy people with his newspaper – maybe I’d stop telling people about his felony conviction. Which, by the way Brian Jagger, Kirk Uhler and John Doolittle do not have – only Rothe.
Hmmm… note how the Sacramento BS refers to him as R-Elk Grove again.
GOP Republican Rep. Tom McClintock will make personal history in January when Republicans take control of the U.S. House.
In his 25th year of elected office in Sacramento and Washington, it will mark the first time that McClintock will be part of the majority.
As the new Congress prepares to organize, McClintock, who won his second term on Nov. 2, is eying a seat on the House Budget Committee.
“That’s where I’ve focused the lion’s share of my attention throughout my years in the state Legislature, when I warned that California’s finances were on a not-sustainable path. … I certainly think I have a strong case to make,” he said.
McClintock, who lives in Elk Grove and represents the 4th Congressional District based in Placer County, said he’d like a seat on the Budget Committee so he can make similar warnings about the nation’s finances.
McClintock currently has seats on the Education and Labor Committee and the Natural Resources Committee.
Clint Curtis is the idiot that moved to CA-04 from Florida to run against Tom McClintock.
When he isn’t writing bizarre things on the internet – he is calling the buddies of Michael Babich (the primary opponent to McClintock) and telling them he is within 10 points of Congressman Tom McClintock.
This is beyond a kool-aid award… this is an idiocy.
Prediction 63-35.
Clint doesn’t have Stone Cold Stenhouse, Lollypop (who works for Gavin Newsome now) or Brett Rambo Shylock on his team.
All he has are yes on 19 flyers.
SD-01 Update: Gaines gets the Jump on Niello
Quick Note: This blogger is 100% under the opinion that Barbara Alby is running as well. Alby is a Conservative former Assemblymember from the 5th Assembly District (the one sought by Pugno that Niello is vacating).
Ted Gaines got a piece of mail out this past weekend.
Here’s what Gaines’ logo looks like.
It does not say which office he is running for – why?
Gaines is on the ballot twice in some areas — Re-Election to Assembly (AD-04) and running for SD-01.
Have a look at the Front and Back of Gaines’ mailer.
Remember Gaines’ slogan, “Commitment we Trust, Values we Share” – which occurs on the reverse of the insert.
Also included was a letter telling us that Ted Gaines is the only tax-fighter (which is expected) and how he needs signatures in lieu of a filing fee.
Of particular note is the P.S. at the very end – highlighting the endorsement of Tom McClintock.
Why did Gaines’ bury that endorsement?
All in all, a good piece…but I think the real angle is Ted trying to dissuade Alby from running.
If Barbara Alby runs – that will split the Conservative vote. Both Gaines and Alby have recently discovered the Tea Party meetings – will one of them inherit that monicre – or will the Tea Party file candidate number 4?
Remember – Ted Gaines: “Commitment we Trust, Values we Share”
Tom McClintock warned us that Meg Whitman is the third term of Arnold. She appeared to confirm this on the John and Ken show recently.
Don’t take my word for it – listen here.
It appears that Meg Whitman does not care about her Republican base or is she taking it for granted? The best suggestion this blogger can make is for people to call her campaign office and/or email her campaign office and hold her accountable for her weak positions on Key issues.
Quoting Carla Marinucci of the SF Chron:
In the interview, Whitman said “yes” when asked if, as governor, she would layoff 40,000 state workers, admitted she was still undecided, but unlikely to support Prop. 23 on the November ballot, and strongly defended her immigration policies.
Then This:
Whitman — who has been sharply critical of the state’s climate change bill AB32 as a “job killer — said that “in all likelihood,” she will vote against Prop. 23. That measure on the November ballot would suspend AB32 until unemployment rates drop to near 5 percent for four consecutive quarters; Whitman has called for a moratorium on the bill to further study it.
To further study what!? AB32 is the largest tax increase in state history! We have the second worst unemployment rate in the country and Meg Whitman wants to study? We have three months to go before election day – there is no time to study…
Oh and Whitman’s own staffer – hired for the CRP for the “Victory 2010″ effort didn’t have a clue that the state GOP endorsed YES on Prop 23 already. (Read Carla Marinucci from the SF Chron again)
… but there is plenty of time for the GOP base to abandon ship. If Whitman refuses to act like a Republican by being unafraid to stand up for soverignty and freedom from Eco-Tyranny, we’re sunk. Steve Cooley is Sunk. Damon Dunn is Sunk. Abel Maldonado is Sunk. It could also dash hopes of Fiorina taking Barbara Boxer out.
Just go home Conservatives. It’s Arnold all over again – now if it is as simple as Whitman not following her script, then her instincts are those of a Liberal Democrat.
Either way – the only way Whitman can climb out of this hole is to acknowledge that Conservatives are her base. Her appeal across the middle is financial management and economic revitalization and that AB32 is environmental extremism.
Anything else is a disaster for California – we already have a Liberal Democrat running for Governor.
Call Meg Whitman’s campaign – click here to find a list of contacts - and ask them why she is taking the Republican Party down the green drain.
It is not too late – I finish with a final quote from the SF Chron article:
