California Republican Party adopts positions on propositions

From Sarah Bond's mole inside the California Republican Party convention:
19 [legalize marijuana]: No
20 [redistricting]: Yes
21 [car tax]: No
22 [state spending]: No Position
23 [suspend global warming law]: Yes
24 [increase business taxes]: No
25 [simple majority to raise taxes]: No
26 [limit taxes]: Yes
27 [reinstate gerrymandering]: No

No real surprises there, though two-faced Meg's taking the opposite position on 23.

As we've done in prior elections, we'll have our reform/libertarian/tea-partyish Varones voters' guide recommendations up soon.

UPDATE: Varones Tea Party picks here: candidates and propositions.

The Republicans are so funny, when the economy is good you say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. When most Americans (with Latin America roots) go to the polls this November we will remember that the GOP has gone on a nationwide rant in proposing and passing several anti-immigration legislation and have continue to blame us for the flat economy or worse. We will remember who stands with us and who stands against us, so trying to stop it now is somewhat funny, but go ahead, you will not change our minds. Your hate made you do it, in November; you will reap what you have sown.

Really, Benito?

You actually fell for the Democrat/MSM line that opposition to illegal immigration is about racism and hatred?

I'm disappointed in you.

Not that this post had anything at all to do with immigration.

WCV: This is all about politics and November 2010 and nothing more. The most outrageous racial profile law was AZ SB1070, the one that failed in our US Courts that the proponents claimed was Constitutional. The current GOP wants to decide for you when they will apply our Constitution and Bill of Rights in the bent minds (Good luck with that). Considering that all the numbers of crime are down In AZ (even ex-governor Janet Napolitano agrees).

So when we saw Brewer signing a bill (that she probably did not even read), lying about the crime rates in AZ, and now we find out that she is in the pockets of PRIVATE PRISONS who stand to benefit with the increase Federal jailing, please what BS.

So quit lying, with your pathelic rhetoric, stand up and be men or women, no, no I am sorry your leaders are now just Birthers, Baggers and Blowhards and will continue to take the GOP towards obscurity because they are no longer a party of ideas, just of empty suits. Good bye, fawell….
