Chris Mitchum for Congress

Two bastard liars in just one photo.
Minnie Me liar former GOP Lt. Governor Able Maldonado and his Puppetmaster GOP Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

Lies and Damn Lies  -  The Great Liar Able Maldonado runs for Congress

• Central Coast Republicans should vote for former actor Chris Mitchum.  Does he look like his dad of what???? 
• Maldonado has very serious character flaws.

By Gary;

There is one thing I just cannot stand, and that is a LIAR.  The Great Whore Able Maldonado qualifies for the title of liar better than almost anyone active in politics today.

TAX  INCREASER  -  As a Republican State Senator from the California Central Coast, Maldonado signed the no new taxes pledge.  Republicans don't believe in a Hell of a lot.  They go out of their way to fund Big Government every chance they get.  So drawing the line on new taxes takes on even more importance.

To bottom line it,  Schwarzenegger, Senator Maldonado and other GOP legislative traitors broke their no new taxes pledge and fucked the voters.  No more.  No less.

But to make it worse, Maldonado sold his vote in return for his Puppetmaster Schwarzenegger appointing him as Lt. Governor.

SCREWING  REPUBLICANS  -    As part of Maldonado's corrupt deal he insisted that the Republican primary be abolished and that everyone be on one ballot in order to reduce the voting power of anti-tax Conservatives in government.

This was done behind closed doors literally in the middle of the night without one single public hearing.  The bastard Maldonado made sure that the ballot argument that went in the mail to voters was a total lie.  The real opponents of this corrupt plan were not allowed to write their opposition to the proposition.

IDIOT  REPUBLICANS  -  More proof that Republican voters are often idiots.  After getting royally screwed by Maldonado, GOP voters went ahead and voted for him for Lt. Governor.

Now the liar Maldonado is running for Congress.
                                                                 .
The new 24th Congressional District  is significantly more difficult terrain for Democrat Lois Capps as she tries to hold on to her seat. In contrast to her huge partisan advantage in the old 23rd CD, registration in the 24th is closely divided between the parties. 

• Democrats       38.5% 
• Republicans     35.5 % 
• Independents    20.4% 

The national GOP is expected to provide resources to former lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado, assuming he bests Tea Party favorite Chris Mitchum in the primary.
                                                         .
Capps meanwhile reported $1,322,657 cash on hand, nearly three times as much as Maldonado, with $492,230; Mitchum reported $113,929, including a $100,000 loan to himself.

Chris Mitchum for Congress

California's new 24th Congessional District is comprised of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties in their entirety and portions of Ventura County.

Republican Chris Mitchum for Congress. 

The son of the legendary actor Robert Mitchum, and an actor himself, Chris is the former National 1^stVice President of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), where he led a small group of board members who stopped Ed Asner from using his position as SAG president to support the Communist Sandanistas in Central America.  Despite being outnumbered, they were successful and Asner did not seek reelection.

Chris served as Chairman of the Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention Commission under Governor Pete Wilson.  As chairman, he rewrote the way they did business and brought over four million dollars into community police and teen courts.

In 1998, Chris ran for State Assembly. He raised nearly $1 million, and won a 3-way primary but was narrowly defeated by Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson.

California ranks last in business climate again

Socialist Democrat Zombies
The Socialist legislature of the People's Republic of California ready to do
the bidding of Dear Leader Comrade Jerry Brown.

Grinding Socialist Poverty  -  The Socialist Democrats are taking the state down the road to a Marxist poverty where we are all "equal" and equally unemployed

• California ranks at the bottom again in business climate
• With 49 other states and the entire world to chose from, what businessman in his right mind would start a new business in California?

The business climate in the People's Republic sucks and the Marxist morons running the state have not a clue what is going on because #1)  they hate capitalism and #2) being full time political hacks they do not have to work for a living.  

In the company where my wife works outside Los Angeles two entire floors have been emptied out and closed down.  All of these California jobs were sent to the Philippines.  A friend of mine in Santa Barbara who works for a defense contractor was forced to retire.  What jobs that were left were sent to Mississippi.

But our Dear Leaders only make it worse. 

California comes in at the bottom in a business survey conducted by Thumbtack.com, in partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.  The survey was conducted over two-months with over 6,000 small business owners nationwide. The data shines a new light on the United States' business regulatory climate and the nation's economic health.

“Six thousand small-business owners have told an unusually nuanced story about what they value in their state or city government,” said a spokesman for the Foundation.

California earned the a near bottom ranking in the San Francisco-based technology firm’s survey. The Golden State was one of four states to land itself a failing grade, including Vermont, Rhode Island and Hawaii.  Massachusetts earned a “D” grade.

Thumbtack.com has released new data showing that small businesses rank California among the least friendly states for small business. California earned F's in 6 of the 12 categories ranked, and the three worst cities nationwide for small businesses are all in California. The one bright spot is San Jose, which ranked in the top half of cities nationwide.

Kevin McCarthy tries to rebuild the California GOP

House GOP Whip Congressman Kevin McCarthy

Kevin McCarthy is working to rebuild a shattered and nearly worthless Republican Party

• Except for a two year period under Gov. Reagan, the GOP has been a minority in the state legislature since 1958.
• It would help if the GOP actually believed in something, but that is for another story.

People's Republic of California Congressman Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield is setting his sights on his home state and looking to rebuild a Republican Party in desperate need of repair.
                                                                       .
McCarthy has launched Trailblazers, a program aimed at grooming candidates running for state legislative office. McCarthy, the House majority whip, hopes these recruits will someday be ready to run for statewide office reports Politico.
                                                         .
The Trailblazers Program is closely modeled after Young Guns, a largely successful effort spearheaded by McCarthy during the 2008 elections, which supports GOP candidates seeking House seats. Young Guns was revived for the 2010 midterms, allowing McCarthy to introduce himself to many of the Republicans who would win that year and is being used again in 2012.

Defend the Bill of Rights

Trailblazers is just getting started. So far, it’s held two candidate workshops — what it calls “campaign colleges” — in Sacramento and Los Angeles and has inducted 41 candidates. Those overseeing Trailblazers said only the most polished candidates will meet the benchmarks needed to rise through the program and receive support.

McCarthy insisted that his ambitions remained in the House for which he serves as the top Republican vote-counter and is regarded as a go-to figure for many of the House freshmen who rely on him for political and legislative advice.

“I think it’s difficult for me to run statewide from where I’m at. I’m not from a major metropolitan area. I don’t view running from Congress as a good platform. It’s got to be something you want to do as well. I like what I do here,” McCarthy said. “But I think I have a responsibility at the same time to help build the Republican Party in the state. This is something I’ve always done.”

“I think this is part of a rebuilding process for the California Republican Party,” said Phil Paule, a Trailblazers participant who is running for an Assembly seat in Southern California’s Inland Empire area. “I think [McCarthy] wants to see more Republicans in the state Legislature. He had a model in Young Guns he wanted to implement here.”

“If you don’t have candidates who can win races for state Legislature, how do you run statewide?” said Peter Tateishi, a Trailblazers participant who is running in a competitive race for an Assembly seat based in Sacramento. “I think this program addresses that.”

(Politico)

Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger did his very best to destroy the Republican Party with insane Big Government spending, abolishing the GOP primary in secret back room deals and raising taxes.

Democracy is Dead - Thank the Republicans

The GOP Screws Themselves & the Voters  


The so-called "small government" Republican Party stabs the voters in the back yet again.

• The GOP refused to back the part-time legislature constitutional amendment.
• The GOP somehow thinks it is good politics to protect the full time salaries of corrupt state legislators from both parties.
• The GOP opposed making legislators more accountable to the voters.
• And Republicans wonder why they are a minority party.

By Gary;

Republican State Assemblywoman Shannon Grove of Bakersfield stood all alone when she proposed a major reform returning the California legislature to part-time status.  Her fellow Republicans who claim to favor "small government" ran for the hills . . . . as usual.

Now the amendment is dead.

Grove's petition drive had collected between 200,000 and 300,000 of the 807,615 voter signatures needed to qualify the constitutional amendment for a statewide ballot. The deadline for gathering the necessary signatures is July 2, but that would be too late to qualify for elections this year reports the Sacramento Bee.
                                            .
The measure called for the Legislature of the People's Republic to meet three months per year, and for lawmakers' pay to be cut from $7,940 per month to $1,500 per month – or $18,000 annually.

TRANSLATION  -  After meeting for three months legislators would have to go home to their jobs and work for a living instead of sucking at the teat of the State Treasury all year long.  

They also might have to live under the laws they write and interact with their neighbors instead of living the life of a Master Ruling Elite.

Republicans - Missing in Action (Again).  By letting the part-time legislature die for total lack of support, the Republican Party (in an unspoken alliance with Democrats) proves to anyone with a brain that they have not the slightest interest in democracy or election reform.  For them it is all about gathering naked power to themselves.  The people be damned.

The so-called "professional" full-time legislature has not only bankrupted the People's Republic, but acts a a breeding ground for full-time political hacks to live out a career on the public dime instead of having to work for a living.

Sample part-time legislatures:

• Texas.  Legislators make $600 a month. The Legislature meets in regular session on the second Tuesday in January of each odd-numbered year.   The Texas Constitution limits the regular session to 140 calendar days.
• New Hampshire.  Legislators are paid $100 a year.  
• Nebraska.  Legislators are paid $12,000 a year.  Sessions of the Nebraska Legislature last for 90 working days in odd-numbered years and 60 working days in even-numbered years.
• North Carolina.  Legislators are paid $13,951.  The General Assembly meets in regular session (or the "long session") beginning in January of each odd-numbered year, and adjourns to reconvene the following even-numbered year for what is called the "Short Session."  The "long session" typically lasts for 6 months and the "short session" typically lasts for 6 weeks.

The unspoken alliance between Democrats and Republicans means there will NEVER be real reform of any kind in California.  Welcome to the People's Republic.

(Sacramento Bee)

Legislators in Texas make $600 a month.
.
The corrupt whores in California's People's Legislature who have bankrupted the state make a base pay of  $95,290 a year plus a $162 for every day they are in session bringing their pay up to about $130,000 or more.

Democrats want to know: "Is your Contractor Gay?"

Big Brother wants to know: "Are you Gay?"
Big Brother is watching you in the People's Republic.

MORON  ALERT  -  Idiot Democrats (is there another kind?) want Gays to register with the Big Brother State

• Democrats want Gay and Lesbian contractors to "register" with the State.
• The sex and race obsessed Democrats already have the Big Brother state register contractors by race, ethnicity and gender.

Democrats are totally obsessed with your race, your vagina and your penis.  

Now for the first time in the People's Republic of California the Big Brother State wants to register gays and lesbians.  Big Brother would ask its contractors if they are gay under legislation passed Monday by the People's State Assembly.

The measure, Assembly Bill 1960, would enable the owners of businesses that contract with the state to identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It would not require them to do so. . . . yet.  But that too is coming you can be sure.

The Assembly vote was 47-24, with only one Republican supporting it. The bill now heads to the Senate.

The Department of General Services currently is required to collect data on contractors by race, ethnicity and gender. AB 1960 would add LGBT-owned businesses to that list.

The bill by Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Roger Dickinson seeks data involving state contracts for construction, professional services, and for the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment.

Republicans, in floor debate, said the state should not be delving so deeply into people's private lives and that the data collected is not likely to be accurate because of hesitancy in reporting sexuality.

See our article:   THE FEDERALIST - "Justice Department lied to the Supreme Court."

Gay Registration worked well in Nazi Germany.

Homosexuals were forced to wear pink triangles in 1930s Germany. Homosexuality was banned and registered Gays were rounded up for "orderly disposal".

California residents were gathered up by the government.

Big Brother Concentration Camps, confiscation of private property and racial identity cards.  The only thing missing was a final solution plan.

Moron Alert - Jerry Brown Speaks

Idiot Alert.
Comrade Governor Jerry Brown is happy that it takes 30 years to get things done under Democratic Socialism.  That way it gives him something to do.  This dip cannot get the things done that he proposed  from his first term as Governor back in the 1970s.

Socialism in Action  -  In a state of Socialist idiots you get the government you vote for

• With 11% unemployment in the People's Republic, Brown is happy it takes 30 years to work on projects.

Asked by Bob Schieffer on the CBS public affairs show "Face the Nation" for any advice he might have for politicians, Brown said, "I've learned you don't get things done overnight. It does take time."

MORON  ALERT   -   Says Brown, "Things that I was talking about 30 years ago - pension reform, renewable energy, completing the California water plan, high-speed rail, they're right at the top of the agenda today. So what do I say? Hey, you've got to take 30 years to get it done, because you can't get it done overnight."

This one takes the cake  -  Comrade Governor Brown goes on, "It looks like things take longer, and now I'm kind of glad they do, because I still have something to do."

What a God Damn fucking moron.  People are in pain.  Massive unemployment, home foreclosures, jobs leaving the state and more.

But the real morons are the drooling, mouth-breathing Socialist voters of California who keep voting for this parade of idiots.

Bullet Train Flunkies Lied to the Voters

Liar - Liar  -  Bullet train losses will run up to $9 billion annually

• Voters were lied to about the costs and ridership.
• The rail authority claims it can operate system at a cost of about 10 cents per passenger mile, less than one-fourth of the 40 cents to 50 cents it costs high speed rail operators in other countries.
• Insane Democrats want to bankrupt the state with endless spending. 

The stupid bullet train started off as a bi-partisan big government spending wet-dream, but as the voters wised up GOP train supporters have gone to ground or pretend to oppose it.  In any case, the train is now fully in the lap of the Democrats.
                                                                     .
The morons and liars at the state rail authority have grossly underestimated future operating costs of California's proposed bullet train, meaning taxpayers potentially will have to provide billions of dollars annually once the system is running, according to an analysis released Monday by a group of outside financial experts.
.

The California High Speed Rail Authority's claim that its future system would generate hundreds of millions of dollars in surpluses is based on unrealistic assumptions (lies) about what it will cost to operate the network, according to the study group, which included former World Bank official William Grindley and Stanford University management professor Alain C. Enthoven says the Los Angeles Times.
                                                           .
The rail authority claims it can operate the 510-mile system at a cost of about 10 cents per passenger mile, less than one-fourth of the 40 cents to 50 cents it costs high speed rail operators in other countries, the analysis found. If California's bullet train operating costs rise to the international average, losses will range from $2 billion to $9 billion annually, according to the report.
.
"We are confounded by where the authority is getting its operating costs," Grindley said.

                                                          .

The group, which also includes Silicon Valley executives William Warren and Alan Bushell, has written a series of financial assessments of the bullet train plan that sharply question its economics. The four experts are affiliated with the Community Coalition on High Speed Rail, located in the Bay Area.

(Los Angeles Times)

California already has existing passenger rail service all over the state.  But the Big Government spenders will never be happy until California is bankrupt.

Modern Technology  -  What a Concept!
Why on earth would anyone take a so-called "high-speed" train from San Diego to San Francisco?  For only a few dollars they can jump on a plane and fly.  The only reason to build a high speed rail system is to line the pockets of businessmen and hire tons of union workers who both bankroll the political liars in Sacramento.

Bullet Train Insanity - Move the 99 Freeway

Your Tax Dollars at Work
Insanity  -  Move the entire 99 Freeway 100 feet for a train no one will ride

• Bi-partisan stupidity on a grand scale.
• Republican businessmen and Democratic labor unions alike are lining up to suck at the teat of the bullet train.

Relocating a two-mile stretch of Highway 99 in west-central Fresno will be no easy feat in the proposed development of a high-speed train line through the city.
                                      .
The rail authority's plans call for shoving the freeway westward by 100 feet or so -- onto property now occupied by a string of businesses. They include a pair of mini-storage companies, several motels, a mobile-home park, an RV dealership, a truck stop and an assisted-living facility reports the Fresno Bee.
.
It's also not known yet how much the highway relocation will cost.  The cost, she added, is included in the overall estimate of $1.5 billion to $2 billion for the construction work through Fresno.

That's why the California High-Speed Rail Authority will look to the state's highway department to handle the work instead of contractors who would build the first section of the state's high-speed rail project in Fresno.

The California Department of Transportation will be responsible for moving Highway 99 between Ashlan and Clinton avenues.

.

"Caltrans is working diligently toward an interagency agreement with the High-Speed Rail Authority to identify the scope, cost and timing of the Highway 99 realignment project in Fresno," the agency said in a statement.

                                                .

A 29-mile segment of the line from east of Madera to the south end of Fresno is proposed to be the first stretch built on what would ultimately extend to a 520-mile system of trains connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco through the San Joaquin Valley.

                           .

The authority believes construction on the section could start late this year or early next year and be completed in 2016.

California already has AMTRAK.
There are already trains serving California for those who want them.  For even faster travel something called the airplane has been invented.  Other people drive their very own personal transportation pods down freeways.  But no.  Big Government is only happy when it can flush countless billions down the toilet in giant make-work projects that will employ union workers who shovel money into the treasury of the Democratic Party..

George Lucas: Why California does not work

George Lucas is closing up shop in Marin County, California.
The business climate is shipping jobs out of the state.

George Lucas and the jobs he creates are leaving

• Lucas will no longer build a film studio.
• Will he leave the state for Texas, Florida or even New Zealand?
• The Socialist Democrats in Sacramento are clueless.

A top Lucasfilm official says it is "too late" for George Lucas to reconsider his decision to pull the plug on plans for Grady Ranch.
                                 .
Lynne Hale, director of communications for Lucasfilm, said that while the firm appreciates the unprecedented outpouring of public support for the company triggered by news the filmmaker was scuttling a film studio project at the ranch, there's no turning back now.
                                                                  .
"We have to move on," she told the Marin Independent Journal.

Hale underscored her point: "You asked if Lucasfilm would reconsider. Unfortunately the answer is no. We truly appreciate the outpouring of support over the last 24 hours but based on our experience we realize that even with the support of the majority, the minority has the ability to drag the process out to the point it makes it impossible to do business."
.
A last-minute bid by state and federal fisheries and water agencies for more review of a unique creek restoration project, and bitter opposition from Lucas Valley Estate residents including developer and next-door neighbor Thomas Monahan, posed more delay and potential lawsuits, prompting Lucas to bail out after spending millions and years pursuing the plan. The creek project promised to be a model watershed restoration program — one far too expensive for public agencies to finance.
                                                                       .
As Lucas executives said they would sell the land for housing development and build the studio elsewhere, a raucous conversation raged online across Marin as residents chimed in, many expressing support for Lucas and contempt for neighborhood foes.

Jobs are leaving the People's Republic of California.

The Mega Hit movie "Fast & Furious 5" was filmed in Brazil and Puerto Rico.  The Socialists in the California legislature fail to understand how high taxes are forcing the jobs in the movie industry to leave the state.

They also fail to understand a simple fact.  With all the nations of the world to chose from, what  businessmen would open up a new business in high tax - high regulation California?

The game show "Family Feud" moved to Atlanta, Georgia.

Democrat Party: "The unemployed can go to Hell"

Moonbeam Jerry Brown  -  Fighting for illegals, not American citizens.

Democrat Governor Brown:  'Unemployed American citizens can go to Hell.'

• Democrats insist illegal aliens MUST be protected while millions of American citizens and their children go unemployed.
• And idiot, mouth-breathing unemployed Americans of all skin colors and ethnic groups line up to vote for the very Socialist Democrats who just fucked them over.

In an interview with KGO-AM radio host Ron Owens, Comrade Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown of the People's Republic said illegal aliens play an important role in our economy.

Said Comrade Brown:   "If 2,000,000 undocumented (illegal) people were rounded up tomorrow and put on buses and sent to the foreign countries from which they came, there would be a massive drop in economic activity. . . . Most of them are doing a hell of a lot of work."

The Big Lie   -   If you tell a big lie often enough the millions of simple minded voters (mostly Democrats) will believe it.

First of all, all the illegal aliens would not leave California in one day.  The change would be a gradual one.

Second, the illegals leaving would cause an economic boom!

• Every working illegal alien that leaves California would create a job opening for American citizens of Black, Hispanic, Asian or European heritage.  Unemployment would drop like a rock.
• Many jobs that employ illegals pay under the table.  Those jobs would still need to be done.  These new legal on-the-books jobs would flood the empty state treasury with new tax money.
• As illegals leave the hundreds of millions the government spends on "free" education, "free" welfare, "free" food, "free" rent and "free" medical care would end.  

There is one draw back to illegals leaving California.  Those American citizens with brand new jobs and increased wealth might not look to a Socialist Democratic Party as their father and provider.

Those newly employed voters might even start to think for themselves. . . . and that is why Democrats will protect and defend every illegal in California and the nation.
