TERMINATOR TAKES DOWN EITHER DEMOCRAT
There are a lot of articles today on the release of the Field Poll, and the startling amount of undecided Democratic voters (26%!), I found the best news of the poll to be that whether you are Phil Angelides or Steve Westly, you are LOSING to Arnold Schwarzenegger this November. Now who knows what the fall will bring, but the survey shows that undecided voters are increasingly supporting Schwarzenegger. As FR State Capitol Correspondent Karen Hanretty points out — perhaps this will now create an incentive for the Governor’s campaign to focus on issues to drive up (and equally as importantly TURN OUT) conservative voters.
JERRY LEWIS IS NO CONSERVATIVE, BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE HIM A CROOK
Congressman Jerry Lewis is famously moderate. He is very comfortable, apparently, presiding over the unprecedented growth we have seen in government spending. I only draw this conclusion based on the profligate spending by the Republican Congress, and the lack of any word coming from Washington that appropriators are making serious cuts. As a matter of fact, on the important vote on the Republican Study Committee’s substitute budget which called for a modest 5% cut in discretionary spending, Lewis not only voted no, but was lobbying others to do the same. I’m happy to hear another point of view on the Congressman — but until then, I have to lump him into the category of those Republicans who are threatening our majority due to the chasm between our spending-cut rhetoric, and the meteoric rise in federal spending under the reign of the GOP. You can read more about this in the Golden Pen selection today, that I talk about below.
Anyways, this Lewis-rant came up as I read several articles in Inland Empire papers today about an FBI probe-ectomy taking place of Lewis and his close relationship with his former colleague, now uber-lobbyist Bill Lowery. I couldn’t say if anything inappropriate took place — and I certainly err on the side of giving the Congressman the benefit of the doubt! Just because he is comfortable voting like a Democrat a lot of the time doesn’t mean he is a criminal.

Couldn’t agree more with the UNION LEADER’s editorial crushing the Bush Administrations dishonesty and non-conservative policies.
Time we sent them a message. I’m voting Democratic!
