Sen. Hollingsworth’s for Romney

Just off the transom from conservative State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth:

"The stakes are high in California’s Republican presidential primary Tuesday. The race has come down to two individuals who represent a stark contrast for Republicans and for the future of our country and our party. One has consistently shunned conservative ideals and partnered with liberals to further their left-wing agendas and undercut the ideals we hold dear. The other has run a cam paign based on conservative principles; low taxes to stimulate a robust economy, a strong national defense to defeat the threat posed by radical Islamists, and the sanctity of our borders and national sovereignty. That candidate is Mitt Romney.

I am endorsing Governor Romney today because I believe he will recognize that it is conservatives and their support for the conservative campaign ideals he has espoused that will give him his victory in the race for president. Mitt Romney is the best candidate to take America to a prosperous, secure and brighter… Read More

New Majority and Proposition 93

We’ll have plenty of time, after the fact, to write a pithy column on the Republican weenies who endorsed Proposition 93. We’ll also be able to talk about the patriots who helped to finance the campaign taking on the mighty Speaker of the Assembly.

But I wanted to get one "shout out" on the record before election day. The New Majority and its members made a significant (six figure) donation to the No on 93 campaign, and given their historical love-bond with Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was extremely notable that they stood their ground when the Governor flip-flopped on his support for our state’s existing legislative term-limits.

So to the New Majority folks, we say THANK YOU!… Read More

Presidential GOP Primary Tidbits – McCain rally in San Diego, and More…

Today Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Secretary of State Bill Jones will be in Gardena (yes, Gardena) making some GOTV calls for Senator John McCain (it’s a media event). McCain’s campaign this weekend touted the endorsements of some former California Governors — Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian. Of course, while Arnold is campaigning for John McCain, his wife, Maria Shriver is supporting a different candidate. San Diego County legislators are weighing in — Congressman Brian Bilbray and State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth endorsed Mitt Romney. Congressman Darrell Issa endorsed John McCain. Senator John McCain will be in California on election day, this Tuesday, and is holding a public rally at 12:30 p.m. by San Diego’s airport. See the attached flyer for details. … Read More

Mitt Romney: Meeting A New Generation Of Challenges

Some final words from Mitt Romney before you vote… (Sorry if it is a bit lengthy for the FR Blog page). Meeting A New Generation Of Challenges By Governor Mitt Romney We have grown up in an America that is safe, prosperous and stable. For many Americans, that is all they have known.

Today’s Commentary: PODCAST: Interview with Senator John McCain

Super Tuesday is just days away, and nationally, as well as here in California, the GOP Presidential Primary field seems to have become a horse race between Arizona Senator John McCain and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. While Congressman Ron Paul and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee are still in the race, they are definitely long-shots for the nomination.

On Friday, we ran our exclusive PodCast interview with Governor Romney. Today, I am pleased to present an interview with Senator John McCain.

Yesterday afternoon, Senator McCain called in from Alabama, where he was preparing to fly to Georgia – the life of a Presidential candidate! I had a chance to talk with the Senator about the War in Iraq, the challenge of dealing with the plague of Congressional earmarks,… Read More
