California is a mess. No secret to those of us who live here. We’ve been sold down the river so many times by so many different politicians for so long that most people here are disgusted and very, very skeptical.

I’m no fan of Meg Whitman, as readers of this column will recall. Jerry Brown is no option either, and certainly no bargain. I remember the messes he started and then left us to deal with… some of which, one way or another, we’re still paying for. Then, after he finished messing up the state he turned his attention to the city of Oakland, which promptly became an ultra-liberal crime and drug-laden ghetto with the highest murder rate in the country. Now he wants another shot at polishing off an already sinking ship.

California is on the brink of insolvency, thanks to inept leadership by people like Brown and the RINO Maximus holding the governor’s office, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Meg looks to me like another big government Republican. I’ve never quite gotten over her gushing endorsement of Van Jones, Oakland communist operative extraordinaire. Ok, I’ll write that one off as a stupid mistake. We all have our share.

Meg Whitman does have business experience that we desperately need. Whether she’ll have the guts to take on the California DeMarxists in our State Government and legislature remains to be seen. Don’t forget that Arnold, early in his first term, got his wrist slapped sharply by the leftists in the legislature and ran to hide under his ultra liberal wife’s political skirt and stayed there, selling out the voters of California at every opportunity.

I want to address the Lt. Governor race. The establishment California Republican Party with which I have many issues (it’s the Washville beltway light), has annointed Abel Maldonado as their guy for Lt Governor. Abel Maldonado is as big, or bigger, a RINO than Arnold. Among Maldonado’s more charming attributes is an affinity for amnesty and open borders. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a little La Raza patch on the seat of his pants.

I’ve never voted for a write-in candidate before… I’m going to advocate for it now. There are a lot of California conservatives that have proposed Karen England, who is currently the executive director of Capitol Resource Institute, a pro-family organization in Sacramento. She is also the director of “Yes On Proposition Eight”. Karen is a solid Conservative Republican, with more experience in researching legislation than most of the people on our payroll who are being paid to do it.

Before moving away from proposition eight. Let’s look at Abel Maldonado’s determined support of ‘Harvey Milk’ day in our schools, where children as young as five would be sexualized through predatory instruction and indoctrination, while gays have free reign to politicize our children while advancing their predatory doctrine. Harvey Milk was a predatory gay, whose only accomplishment was that he was an openly gay San Francisco supervisor who advocated multiple sexual partners. This is what they wish to force on our kids.

Karen England is the person we need in the Lt. Governor’s office… not Abel. Therefore, I’m endorsing Karen England as a write-in for Lt. Governor. Normally, I wouldn’t ‘waste a vote’ by splitting a ticket. England has been gaining a lot of attention and momentum amongst Conservatives in California, in spite of the California Republican Party doing everything in their power to torpedo her bid.

The California party is in as great a need of a major house cleaning as is Washville. Hear that, Tom Del Becarro, state Republican party Vice Chairman? Tom, and other Repubic establishment types, have been calling Karen and attempting to discourage her. What is it with Republicans that time after time, in national and state races, that they persist in picking exactly the wrong horse for the race?

The fact is, we need people like Karen England to turn this sinking tub around. To contact Karen’s campaign, go to: karenengland4california.com

Keep up the effort. Talk to everyone you know. Don’t be shy, ask if they are registered to vote. If they’re not, offer to help. If they are registered encourage them to vote. This is all the marbles… Let’s take our country back!

I remember Arnold running and hiding, Sharron Angle style, from nurses but I don't remember him hiding from the legislature.

Jerry actually did a pretty good job as mayor of Oakland.

What was to become Brown's reemergence into politics after sixteen years was also the reemergence for Oakland, California, a down-on-its-luck "overwhelmingly minority city of 400,000."[42] Brown ran as an independent "having left the Democratic Party, blasting what he called the "deeply corrupted" two-party system."...

The city was rapidly losing residents and businesses and Brown is credited with starting the revitalization of the city using his connections and experience to lessen the countries economic downturn while attracting $1 billion of investments including refurbishing Fox Theater (Oakland), the Port of Oakland and Jack London Square.[42] The downtown district was losing retailers, restaurateurs and residential developers and Brown sought to attract thousands of new residents with disposable income to revitalize the area...

and he was successful

It has resulted in redevelopment projects in the Jack London District, where Brown purchased and later sold an industrial warehouse which he used as a personal residence,[42] and in the Lakeside Apartments District near Lake Merritt. The 10k plan has touched the historic Old Oakland district, the Chinatown district, the Uptown district, and Downtown. Brown surpassed the stated goal of attracting 10,000 residents...

Skip, your relationship with the truth is so loose you might as well be a politician.

Not according to friends in Nevada who watched the debate.

Then your 'friends' live in a world known as 'denial', which doesn't surprise me.

You can't find a single report or column that doesn't admit Angle beat his ass in that debate.

Again, Skip, you're wrong.

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, there were 37,182 crime offenses in Oakland in 1998. But the number of crime offenses declined to 32,250 in 2006.

Crime declined 13% during Brown's term as mayor while the country as a whole experienced a decline of less than 9%.

As for highest murder rate - that distinction goes to New Orleans, followed by Washington DC. - Oakland has never had the highest murder rate in the country.

Just about the only thing you got right Skip, is the spelling of his name.

Really?

Will the debate change the course of the race? It's hard to know. But Angle clearly succeeded by not failing. While she was far from overwhelmingly impressive, she almost certainly cleared the low bar of credibility required for her to have a real chance at winning the race.

"Succeeded by not failing" is hardly kicking ass - at least not in the real world.

Yep, really.

Only the people of Nevada get to chose between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle.

If they chose Sharron Angle, they are shooting themselves in the foot, here's why; Harry Reid is a centrist, a moderate, people in the Senate take him seriously and respect him which means he is a voice for the people of Nevada that is heard in the Senate.

I doubt Sharron Angle would have been able to stop the dumping of nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain for instance.
