30th Congressional District: Democrat vs. Democrat

Regular readers of this blog know that I refused to jump on the "bandwagon" with elected Republican officials in supporting either Rep. Brad Sherman or Rep. Howard Berman in their battle in the 30th Congressional District (the district of my residence).  Neither one of them were acceptable to those of us who stand by our conservative principles.  I supported Republican Mark Reed.



This is due to the new law that the top two vote-getters in the primary election are able to face each other in the general election.  It doesn't matter which party the top-two belong to.  In this case, the top two are Democrat Liberals.

The 30th Congressional District only has a 26% Republican registration, while the Democrats have 48%.  Not much of a chance for a Republican to give the Democrats a contest.

California is dominated by Democrats who have brought this state to near-bankruptcy.  The GOP is virtually powerless to stop them.   One may as well call this a one-party dictatorship as in the former Soviet Union or China.

I considered the possibility of supporting one of the Democrats (the lesser of two evils), but there is nothing in their records that I can sink my teeth into to offer support for.  Both are "no damn good."

If the Republican Party is to make any inroads in California, it needs to rebuild itself.  The California Republican Party (i.e., the Republican State Central Committee) is primarily comprised of ineffective political hacks and virtually no money.  It really hasn't been an effective party organization since the 1980s at best.   A thorough house-cleaning is in order.
