Unsustainable Healthcare
Like our pension system, Medicare, Social Security and even Medical, the new healthcare bill is unsustainable. There is simply not enough income made in this country to tax it into existence. The only possible way to begin to pay for it would be massive cuts in the quality of health care. Rationing, poor quality and eventual death panels will replace …
The numbers are in for the latest reporting period in the 77th Assembly District
The numbers are in for the latest reporting period in the 77th Assembly District and I continue to be competitive with my two opponents that hold elected office.

The Prince And The Pauper
I know I’ve been making a big stink about the SD City Council District 6 race and it looks like with good reason. I haven’t seen the Sheriff’s disclosure yet (you need to get it in person at the Registrar of Voters), but unless there are some real shockers in that it looks like the 6th District has the most …
November May Be Sweet, But I wouldn’t Count On It.
Well, they did it. They passed this monster health care bill, knowing full well that the high majority of Americans do not want anything to do with it. Speaker-of-The House, Nancy Pelosi lied through her teeth, claiming it was done “for the American people.” Conservatives are consoling themselves with the momentum of the Tea Parties, Town Hall meetings and recent …

12,000 US bank failures vs. TWO Canadian banks
http://open.salon.com/blog/richard_rider/2010/03/22/12000_us_bank_failures_vs_two_canadian_banks 12,000 US bank failures vs. TWO Canadian banks Canada is no free market country. But according to the Heritage Foundation’s 2010 ranking of countries’ relative “Economic Freedom,” Canada (national health care and all) is the 7th most free country in the world. The U.S. has dropped to 8th. But at least we still beat the pants off North Korea! …
San Diego Police dodge a DNA bullet
San Diego Police Department dodged a potentially explosive public relations bullet when it was determined that John Gardner’s DNA was not found on the swab taken from a female “robbery” victim, Candice Moncayo, who was assaulted on December 27, 2009 in Rancho Bernardo Community Park following the homicide of Chelsea King last month. Local law enforcement agencies failed to test …
It Took a Carter to Get a Reagan
There must be a silver lining to this complete power usurpation by the Democrats with the socialist health care takeover. Blatantly ignoring the will of the people, Obama twisted arms and lied his way into convincing his party members to vote his way and virtually alter the United States of America. Stupak literally sold his soul to the devil …

Just like the swallows returning to Capistrano, when a man in a sheep suit is spotted running around San Diego you know it’s time for the annual San Diego County Taxpayers Association Golden Fleece & Golden Watchdog Awards. Sure enough, the first sighting was made last week. We’ve captured it for you here on San Diego Rostra. This year’s theme: “Alice in …
Obama Discussion: Simplistic or Nuanced?
Remember all the commentary back in 2008 after Pastor Rick Warren interviewed both presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama? Those who favored McCain pointed out how direct his answers were when Warren threw out questions such as “Does evil exist?” Those siding with Obama talked about McCain as if he gave overly simplistic answers. They enjoyed pointing out how …
Senator Graham threatens immigration over deemed health care
Graham told Democrats, if you force health care on the American people you can kiss immigration reform goodbye. “If the healthcare bill goes through this weekend, that will, in my view, pretty much kill any chance of immigration reform passing the Senate this year,” Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said late Friday. Senator Graham put it all on the line for Latinos. …
Thank you CRA
Earning the CRA endorsement is a great honor and a tremendous boost for our campaign. I am excited about the opportunity to join forces with the CRA in fighting to restore real conservative values in Sacramento.

Americans and NumbersUSA disagree on amnesty with Dick Armey
At a recent National Press Club meeting former Republican Congressman and Tea Party Express affiliate, Dick Armey exposed his left-leaning tendencies by expressing his support for amnesty.

California’s outrageous cost of electricity
While I’m not yet adding this electricity cost analysis to my “Breaking Bad” fact-sheet (hard to condense), it’s a situation my California readers need to know about. Our residential electricity rates are often outrageous compared to the rest of the nation. And, to get to the bottom line, under AB32, these lofty rates are predicted to go up ANOTHER 30% …
