California sits between a rock and a hard place, but according to some at the Daily Nexus, it’s going to take the same leaders and the same polices to get us out of the current mess. Instead of looking to someone like Meg Whitman, who has extensive experience in the business world, they look to the career left wing politician, Jerry Brown, who caused many of the problems we have today. In the Senate, we’re turning to a narcissistic mental midget who consistently votes for more spending while telling her constituents she’ll reduce the deficit. These two Democrats are the worst! A state of 36 million people should be able to recognize we need new leadership with new ideas.
The “fiscal conservative” Jerry Brown and his union money have pulled out all the stops with their character assassinations of Meg Whitman. Jerry Brown’s tax hikes in his early years as governor brought about a tax revolt later, in the form of the infamous Prop 13, essentially forcing tax reductions. Moreover, Brown is beholden to almost every union imaginable and allowed the state’s civil service to unionize during his tenure as governor. As a consequence, we are now facing a $500 billion pension “time bomb” according to the L.A. Times. Additionally, if elected, Brown won’t have the guts to confront unions and make the tough decisions, which, I believe, should include an older retirement age and adoption of a 401(K) retirement fund, not a salaried pension. Unlike Brown, Whitman really is a fiscal conservative and can make the tough choices because she isn’t beholden to the radical and destructive left wing union leaders. Similarly, Whitman wants to reserve our wealth to assist Americans attending college, not subsidize law breaking illegal immigrants.
Barbara Boxer has been a menace in the U.S Senate for nearly 20 years. Although she blames Bush for current debt (which is partially true), she consistently voted for larger budgets and more spending during the Bush Administration. Today, she is a reliable rubber stamp vote for the radical Obama Administration’s “transformative” (really destructive) agenda, which is aimed at destroying traditional American society. Boxer claims she’s for the “middle class,” however she leads the charge for bigger government, more authoritarian control and more bureaucracies by advocating for job-killing energy taxes, strangling small businesses and pushing the middle class around with endless regulation. Carly Fiorina would be a wonderful replacement for this liberal warhorse. She’s fresh, creative and has worked at many levels of the economy, finally ending up as CEO of HP. Unlike Boxer, Carly has accomplished something in life and knows what it will take to get small businesses hiring and America prospering once again. And just to clear up any confusion, the Senate doesn’t overturn judicial precedent — the Supreme Court does.
Brown and Boxer have had their chance; isn’t it time for a change in leadership? Reject both of them. Elect people who stand for limited government, economic freedom, individual liberty and private property rights; after all, that’s what American society is all about.
“Today, she is a reliable rubber stamp vote for the radical Obama Administration’s “transformative” (really destructive) agenda, which is aimed at destroying traditional American society.”
Just… wow. While I think many politicians on both sides are crooks, I assume their goals are usually just money and power. How unhinged do you have to be to think the president’s “aim” is to “destroy traditional American society”? What does that even mean?
Wow this article is a POS. There’s nothing Whitman isn’t saying that Arnold hasn’t already said. Guess what? Didn’t work. The fact that your spewing of inane mantra makes it to the hardcopy edition is what’s painful to see. For an example, see: “a fiscal conservative and can make the tough choices because she isn’t beholden to the radical and destructive left wing union leaders” This kind of copypasta from the depths of the darkest corners of the RNC is irritating, and makes readers skip paragraphs whole. Take an Ethics class and couple it with a Critical Thinking class. It… Read more »
Wow, about the only thing that seems to be working correctly with this article is Mr. Parish’s satellite receiver from GOP Talking Points Central. How anybody can use the words “fresh and creative” and Carly Fiorina in the same clause escapes me. Although Mr. Parish seems to have a mastery of vocabulary, and can pin together some snappy sentences, his article on whole is pretty light weight. He makes about as much sense as Michael Steele, which by the way seems to be drinking from the same kool-aid trough. Get back in school Ben and take some remedial critical thinking… Read more »
Mr. Parish seems to have churned up some of the phonies on campus this week. As for drinking RNC kool-aid, and spewing “copypasta” from the bowels of the GOP, I seem to remember him bashing the Republican party in his opening article, advocating for conservatives. These elections are more important than ever, and I can appreciate someone who stands up to the never ending line of liberals in California. Politics is a battle, and I admire him for taking on the liberal establishment head on. Or perhaps you think he should just agree with you and turn “Right Said” into… Read more »
Not at all. I’d be interested in his point of view if he were presenting one. I argue that he is not. There is no policy discussion in his article (other than the pension time bomb he mentions, and that’s projected).
