NOV. 8, 2010 By JOHN SEILER The Nov. 2 election was almost a total wipe-out for California Republicans. They even lost the 28th state Senate District to incumbent Jenny Oropeza, who died two weeks earlier. At the state level, they were smashed in every race except attorney general. Republic...
Posts Tagged ‘Meg Whitman’Can California GOP Get Its Mojo Back?Monday, November 8th, 2010Why Amateur Meg LostThursday, November 4th, 2010 John Seiler: If you've been reading CalWatchDog.com, you know we called the election all along: that Meg Whitman's campaign was a disaster. It was aloof and unfocused. I kept calling it amateurish. This link goes to a search of my 12 references here to her "amateur" campaign. Now, the first ... So much for moderate RepublicansWednesday, November 3rd, 2010 John Seiler: A computer couldn't come up with a candidate more moderate Republican than Meg Whitman. And she's rich and willing to spend $160 million, too. Her computer-date running mate, Abel Maldonado, also was a poster-boy for Republican moderation. So was Mike Villines, the moderate Republica... Jerryfornia: California in orbitTuesday, November 2nd, 2010 John Seiler: "To the moon, California!" shouted California voters today, doing an imitation of Jackie Gleason playing Ralph Kramden on the old "Honeymooners" TV show. "Bang! Zoom!" Once again the state is launching into orbit with Captain Moonbeam. We've been on this trip before: an all-out as... L.A. Times Exhales Prop. 19Sunday, October 31st, 2010 John Seiler: I thought the L.A. Times was supposed to be "progressive" and "liberal"? Actually, they're an establishment, elitist, government-loving paper. As shown by their editorial opposing Prop. 19, which would legalize marijuana in California. It's the same position taken by the Chamber o... Jerry’s Lies on the Capital Gains TaxFriday, October 29th, 2010John Seiler: Today I got the third mailing of Jerry's hit piece on Meg's proposal to eliminate the state capital gains tax. It says, "Meg Whitman's $5 billion tax giveaway...it's not for you." Actually, you lying fraud, it is for me. Because if rich folks keep their investment money -- on whic... Hypocrite Cameron Disses CaliforniaFriday, October 22nd, 2010John Seiler: James Cameron is another filthy-rich elitist -- like Der Arnold, Bill Gates and Meg Whitman -- who loves dissing California, Californians, and California jobs -- and therefore is opposing Prop. 23, which would suspend AB 32. They want to keep imposing AB 32, which would destroy our j... Does the CA Election Really Matter?Thursday, October 21st, 2010OCT. 21, 2010 By JOHN SEILER On Nov. 2 Californians face the most important election in decades, deciding the governorship, a U.S. Senate seat that could tip the Senate into the Republican camp, legislative and local races and several crucial ballot measures. When looking at a state election, ... Recall Gov. Jerry BrownSunday, October 17th, 2010John Seiler: Let me be the first to say it: Recall Gov. Jerry Brown. As I've been predicting since last spring, our next governor will be Jerry Brown. Meg's campaign was incompetent. She's an amateur. As are the Schwarzenegger, Pete Wilson and Romney hacks who ran her campaign in exchange for ... First Meg mailerFriday, October 15th, 2010John Seiler: I finally got my first Meg mailer today. As I wrote earlier, my first two Jerry mailers came a week ago, just as I got my absentee ballot. Who knows why it took her so long. On the front is her slogan, "A New California." Which annoys me. I want to go back to the old California, t... |
