    California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and GOP Assemblyman Chuck DeVore

    FlashReport: CRP Spends Money AGAINST CRP Members

    The CRP maynot have a bounty program, they may be in $4.6 million of debt, but they have a little cash and staff time to turn on it’s own members.

    Assemblyman Chuck DeVore has a proposal to change the way delegates are selected.

    Today a letter arrived from Duf Sundheim, Ron Nehring and Tim Morgan opposing the change. Who paid for this mailing??? No doubt the CRP. As well an offical email and press release from CRP staff attacked the proposal.

    Put a fork into Chuck Devore’s proposal – IT’S DONE!

    It makes NO difference who paid for the mailing. The Chairman and soon to be Chairman of the California Republican Party OPPOSE this proposal to place GOP delegate selection back into “smoke-filled” rooms and out of the voters reach.

    The Devore proposal is precipitous and WRONG.

    It deserves DEFEAT.

    Los Angeles Times: Conservatives Move To Tweak McCain, Schwarzenegger Primary

    Disdainful of party heretics like Sen. John McCain, conservative California Republicans are devising a plan to short-circuit the early presidential primary when they meet this weekend in Sacramento. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says a Feb. 5 California primary would make the state a player in national politics once again, but political analysts believe it also would give a big advantage to established candidates like McCain.

    Assemblyman Chuck DeVore and his conservative colleagues are drafting a bylaw change that would allow Republican Party Central Committee members to pick a big portion of their presidential delegates in early February 2008, instead of just holding a statewide election among the entire party. The state GOP leadership is generally more conservative than the rest of the party, and such a rule change would certainly dilute McCain’s support and quell whatever momentum he had gained.

    “The activists on the state central committee here have still not forgiven him (McCain) for the McCain-Feingold assault on the First Amendment nor do they appear comfortable with his incoherent philosophical agenda,” DeVore told the Washington Times. “Senator McCain seems to be more a product of the New York Times than of the party of Ronald Reagan.”

    BAD MOVE, Chuck.

    California Republican voters are tired of “SMOKE-FILLED ROOMS” and GOP party big-wigs selecting who their candidates are.

    Flap knows you hate Schwarzenegger, but he and the Democrat Legislature are right on this one.

    Californians want to be a part of the presidential electoral process not relegated to being the purse for Iowa and New Hampshire media campaigns.  California voters want to make a difference in who will be our next President.

    So, are you worried about term-limit changes and legislative redistricting proposals at the same election – on the same ballot?

    And the voters shouldn’t have a shot at voting yea or nay, why?

    DeVore, you sit in a gerrymandered safe GOP district that guarantees you six years in the Assembly – if you keep your nose clean. Democrats enjoy the same electoral safety.

    And California legislative and congressional districting is fair, how?

    Please…..

    Stop the political machinations at the California GOP convention next weekend (as if you would be able to achieve a 2/3rd plurality anyway) and support a February, Super Tuesday primary for California GOP voters.

    NOTE for Robert Salladay:

    The proposed change by DeVore is not an affront to John McCain but also a slap at Rudy Giuliani.  Sounds like Mitt Romney’s shill, Congressman John Campbell has a hand in this cauldron as well as DeVore.

    Stay tuned……..

    Tom McClintock Watch: State Board of Equalization?

    mcclinotckdecember19bweb

    California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and California State Senator and Lt. Governor candidate Tom McClintock in San Jose at the California Republican Party Convention, February 24, 2006.

    Los Angeles Times: Lowered expectations

    Having lost races for governor, lieutenant governor and state controller, Republican State Sen. Tom McClintock of Thousand Oaks is working his way down the ole ballot. The Capitol Morning Report, which is sort of the daily racing sheet of Sacramento politics, reports that McClintock has opened a campaign account to run for a Board of Equalization seat in 2010.

    Of course, many termed-out legislators open accounts for offices they don’t have interest in, just so they have a way to continue fundraising. But then again the Board of Equalization is a popular way station for politicians looking to run for another job. McClintock’s interest in the BOE remains unknown as he did not respond to a request for comment.

    Flap suspects this is a fund-raising mechanism. Especially, since McClintock is termed out of his California State Senate seat.

    Now, this could change with a redistricting proposal being floated around the capital – should the governor need to entice affirmative Democrat legislative votes with a change in term limits.

    But, what Tom WILL do is open a federal fundraising account (unless he already has?) and keep his powder dry for a possible Congressional run in either the 24th (Thousand Oaks) or another safe GOP district.

    Rudy Giuliani Watch: Giuliani to Be Keynote Speaker at California Republican Party Convention

    giulianidecember-18aweb

    Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (right) attended a 2002 news conference with California GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon.

    San Francisco Chronicle: Giuliani is wooing California’s conservatives for possible ’08 bid

    He’s scheduled to be keynote speaker for state GOP convention

    Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a moderate Republican and possible presidential candidate, is working to strengthen his hand in California by scheduling a high-profile appearance and quietly gathering support from some of the state’s staunchest conservatives.

    State GOP board members were informed by party officials last week that Giuliani is scheduled to be the keynote speaker for the state Republican Party convention in February in Sacramento, sources said.

    That appearance will catapult what was expected to be a fairly routine GOP gathering into a national event — and is almost certain to ramp up the increasingly active parade of presidential hopefuls of both parties coming to California to court donors in a state viewed as the wealthiest source of campaign cash.

    Giuliani, called “America’s mayor” after his formidable performance in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, already has established a camaraderie with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger — a Republican in the same moderate, bipartisan mold who also supports gay rights, abortion rights and stem cell research.

    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (C) speaks at a news conference as he is joined by California’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (L) and Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca (R) in Santa Monica, California, August 17, 2006, urging California voters to support Proposition 83, Jessica�s Law on the November 2006 ballot. Proposition 83 calls for electronically monitoring sex offenders for life via a GPS system as well as allowing prosecutors to charge criminals who posses child pornography with a felony.

    The fact that Mayor Giuliani is the KEYNOTE speaker at the California GOP organization meeting in Sacramento means that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed onto the Giuliani presidental campaign.

    The Governator may not overtly endorse Giuliani over Senator John McCain but this event clearly shows the Governor’s hand.

    Moreover, the Giuliani campaign has been courting other California conservative activists, like Bill Simon for fundraising

    Simon has been a longtime friend of Giuliani, and worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in New York under Giuliani, who was then the U.S. attorney.

    Simon was on Wall Street and at breakfast with Giuliani on Sept. 11, 2001, when two planes hit the World Trade Center at the start of a terrorist attack that killed about 3,000 people.

    Simon — who was traveling Friday and could not be reached for comment — has been tapped to help Giuliani with fundraising in California, GOP sources said.

    and….. Steve Frank for liason to conservative grassroots organizations like the California Republican Assembly (CRA) and evangelicals:

    Frank, a former consultant to Simon and a conservative who publishes the California Political News & Views newsletter, and has been a harsh critic of Schwarzenegger on the right — but he confirmed last week that he also will be supporting Giuliani’s effort.

    Frank said the former New York mayor is in the best position to take the White House in 2008 against a roster of potential Democratic challengers who include New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and even Al Gore, the Democrats’ 2000 presidential nominee.

    While conservatives may have differences with Giuliani on social policies, Frank said, “I have no differences with a guy who, as mayor, cut or eliminated 23 different taxes, and dramatically cut crime in New York. … Like Ronald Reagan, agree or disagree, he will look you in the eye and say, ‘This is where I stand.’ There’s a trust factor.”

    Now, will the California Legislature change the California election primary from June to March? The Governator certainly has incentive to sign such a bill to help Giuliani.

    But several Giuliani supporters are eyeing a front-loaded primary calendar that could have big states like Florida and New Jersey – where social issues are not so weighty and security is a major concern – vote earlier, a move that is seen as beneficial to him.

    If states like Jersey – where a move is afoot to move the primary to early February 2008 – and Florida hold their votes earlier, it could diminish the impact of the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, both of which are dominated by social conservatives. McCain, who won New Hampshire in the 2000 election, is leading polls there.

    But, where do the Democrats who control the California Assembly and Senate by large electoral margins weigh into GOP politics?

    To help Hillary Clinton?

    Doubtful

    To help ease term limits with a concomitant redistricting proposal?

    Very possible

    Stay tuned…….

    Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Schwarzenegger Has Problems with the GOP

    arnoldnovember26aweb

    In this photograph provided by ‘Meet the Press,’ California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appears on ‘Meet the Press’’ Sunday, Nov. 26, 2006, at the NBC studios in Washington.

    AP: Schwarzenegger could have problems with restless GOP in Legislature

    RepublicanGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won re-election by courting independents and Democrats, but his biggest problem in 2007 may be finding common purpose with his own party.

    Although Republicans are the minority in the Legislature, party leaders do not plan to be passive partners as Schwarzenegger contends with a projected $5.5 billion budget gap and a dangerously crowded prison system while planning to extend health coverage to millions of uninsured Californians.

    With the election behind them, Assembly Republicans have installed a new leader, Mike Villines, R-Clovis, a conservative known to be unafraid of confrontation.

    In the Senate, Minority Leader Dick Ackerman, R-Tustin, said members are going to be skeptical of any new, big-ticket programs – health-care included.

    “The biggest thing is going to be the budget,” Ackerman said, citing the looming deficit. When it comes to holding spending in check, “We are going to be taking a much stronger position on that.”

    The Governator will have more problems than the California state budget. There are a number of reasons for California GOP angst:

    1. Susan Kennedy – A Lesbian ultra-lib Gray Davis staffer says it all

    2. Justice Carol Corrigan – A moderate GOP California Supreme Court Justice appointed to replace conservative Janice Rogers Brown

    3. Global Warming

    4. Democrat Party staff appointments

    5. Failure to help other GOP candidates in the last election particularly McClintock and McPherson

    6. The “Hot Blood” FLAP where Schwarzenegger ridiculed conservative GOP legislators

    And more here:

    • Signed AB 1835, Minimum Wage Increase
    • Signed AB 2911, California Discount Prescription Drug Program
    • Signed AB 32, Greenhouse Gases
    • Signed SB 1368, Electricity: emissions of greenhouse gases. (Out of state purchases)
    • Signed SB 1, Million Solar Roofs
    • Signed SB 201, Sustainable Oceans Act
    • Signed SB 107, Renewable energy
    • Signed AB 2560, Public School Health Center Support Program.
    • Signed SB 437, Health care coverage (expected to cover 94,000 additional children)
    • Signed SB 1534, Public benefits (for illegal aliens)
    • Signed AB 680, English language learners.
    • Signed AB 2600, Vehicles: HOV lanes
    • Signed AB 1613, Vehicles: wireless telephones (Nanny State)\
    • Signed SB 1827, Taxation: domestic partners (homosexual agenda)
    • Signed AB 2251, Reproductive Health Care Svcs – Confidentiality of Personal Info
    • Signed AB 2583, Dispensing prescription drugs and devices; refusal to dispense
    • Signed SB 1441, Discrimination: state programs and activities: sexual orientation (homosexual agenda)
    • Signed SB 1654, Voting: absentee ballot (homosexual agenda)
    • Signed AB 1160, Crime – Gay Panic Defense – Gwen Araujo Justice for Victims Act (homosexual agenda)
    • Signed AB 1207, Code of Fair Campaign Practices (homosexual agenda)

    Bill Whalen of the Weekly Standard Weighs in with True Lies

    The Schwarzenegger model of success isn’t coming to Washington any time soon.

    If anything, California’s vaunted bipartisanship will soon be put to the test–make that, a series of tests. The state faces a $5 billion deficit. A strong economy may produce enough revenue to fill the hole, which is what happened this year. If not, the choices are spending cuts or higher taxes. Both the governor and the Legislature want to enact healthcare reform, yet neither side can agree on its scope or the means of financing. Other headaches loom: overcrowded prisons and overflowing pension costs being but two problems that were conveniently sidestepped this past year.

    Can bipartisanship continue to reign supreme? Time will tell which climate is the real California: a summer of love or a winter of discontent.

    The Governor won his election but a huge margin but has spelled nothing but disaster for the California Republican Party.

    Why should GOP legislators nestled in their gerrymandered and safe districts vote to help Arnold?

    If Arnold thinks he can run over the HARD-ASSED new group of GOP Assembly members he better switch parties tomorrow. Cooperation will be NIL.

    And Schwarzenegger REALLY thinks he can run in a GOP primary election again and win?

    Stay tuned…….

    California Election 2006 Watch: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Wins Re-election

    arnoldnovember8dweb

    California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger kisses his wife Maria Shriver after his re-election, in Beverly Hills. November 7, 2006.

    Reuters: Schwarzenegger gains landslide California win

    California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger won re-election by a landslide after distancing himself from fellow Republican President George W. Bush and taking a moderate stance, results on Wednesday showed.

    The former Hollywood star first elected three years ago in an unprecedented recall vote beat his Democratic opponent, State Treasurer Phil Angelides, by 17 points with 99.6 percent of Tuesday’s vote counted.

    “What a fantastic evening; I love doing sequels,” Schwarzenegger told supporters in Beverly Hills. “But this without any doubt is my favorite sequel.”

    The star of the “Terminator” films scrapped a confrontational style that served him well as a champion bodybuilder and in movies but led to a complete defeat in a special initiative election last year.

    A humbled Schwarzenegger, 59, turned on his charm, no longer taunted Democratic legislators as “girlie men” and backed a series of bipartisan laws, including reducing the state’s greenhouse gas emissions.

    Arnold made “NICE” and was rewarded by his re-election.

    Will it continue?

    Perhaps

    But, now the Governator actually has to GOVERN…..

    California Election 2006 Watch: Schwarzenegger Hears Rumbles From the RIGHT?

    giulianiaugust18cweb

    Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) joined by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (L) speaks at a news conference in Santa Monica, California August 17, 2006 urging California voters to support Proposition 83, Jessica�s Law on the November 2006 ballot. Proposition 83 calls for electronically monitoring sex offenders for life via a GPS system as well as allowing prosecutors to charge criminals who posses child pornography with a felony.

    Los Angeles Times: Schwarzenegger Hears Rumbles From the Right

    Conservatives see some of the governor’s stands as liberal. If too few vote, his reelection could be threatened.

    The above is only wishful thinking on the part of the lefty editors of the Los Angeles Times. Let’s explore this story the substance of which which Flap discussed many weeks ago here.

    With the vote on his reelection just over 12 weeks away, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger faces a wave of conservative unrest that threatens the steady political recovery he has made this year by widening his appeal beyond his base of Republican supporters.

    To keep conservatives in line, Schwarzenegger campaign operatives have quietly launched efforts to rally support among Christian fundamentalists, gun owners and other Republicans who have long been wary of the governor and backed him only grudgingly.

    Conservative voters are Schwarzenegger’s base and they WILL turn out and VOTE for the GOP ticket, including Arnold. The GOP has a good group of young “down ticket” candidates for California constitutional offices. Some of the candidates are conservatives and some are moderates – a big tent GOP ticket.

    This piece in the Los Angeles Times is pre-emptive crap politics immediately before the California Republican Party convention this weekend in Los Angeles. The Times hates Arnold and why not smear him a little right before his bow with the party faithful.

    Los Angeles Times = BIASED and PATHETIC…….

    Read the rest of the piece, if you can stomach it.

    Oh, by the way, Robert Sallady should tell his editors that GOP voters will never vote for a LEFT-WING NERD like Phil Angelides who enlists his “MOTHER” Senator Dianne Feinstein to tell him not to smirk when addressing the public – “between thoughts”.

    Stay tuned……

    Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Angelides Strategist Compares California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il

    arnoldjuly7cweb northkoreajuly7cweb

    Drudge Report Flash:Dem Compares Schwarzenegger To Kim Jong-Il

    Will missiles soon be flying in the California governor’s race?

    Bob Mulholland, senior advisor to Democratic nominee Phil Angelides, aims for controversy this morning, saying: “With North Korea leader Kim Jong-Il back in the news, it reminds me that he and Schwarzenegger have something in common. Both have their shoes specifically made to add a couple inches of lift. What we don’t know is does Kim Jong-Il have his shoes made by Schwarzenegger’s shoemaker in Italy.”

    Hillary is hosting a fundraiser for Angelides today in San Francisco.

    In 2003, Mulholland warned Arnold Schwarzenegger that “real bullets” will be coming his way during his campaign to be governor.

    “Schwarzenegger is going to find out, that unlike a Hollywood movie set, the bullets coming at him in this campaign are going to be real bullets and he is going to have to respond to them,” warned Mulholland.

    Well, Arnold is sitting pretty high in the California polls that show Phil Angelides trailing the California governor by 7 points. Bob Mulholland, a California Democrat Party activist, is an Angelides political strategist.

    Mulholland is getting his ASS handed to him in this race so why not toss out moronic comments. After all, Bob Mulholland is a MORON.

    From the Schwarzenegger campaign:Statement By Californians For Schwarzenegger Communications Director Katie Levinson Regarding Angelides Campaign Comments On North Korea

    “Today’s comments on North Korea by Phil Angelides’ campaign are further evidence he is not ready to lead the state of California.  Whether it’s a $10 billion tax hike, a mystery budget proposal with no numbers, or his failure to support Jessica’s Law, it is clear Phil Angelides’ policies will take the state backwards.

    Is this Bob Mulholland’s ASS BACKWARDS?
