5th Assembly District Race Update – Andy Pugno in Almost Complete Control

It started on March 3rd when Senator Dave Cox and Assemblymember Roger Niello endorsed Andy Pugno. This significance of these two endorsements was huge.

It meant that the Sacramento Republican Establishment was not able to recruit a more Moderate Republican candidate and they yielded to Pugno.

Then on March 9th – Niello Made it official and it was determined that there were going to be five Republicans in the primary.

When the CRA was called to endorse, I stood up for Andy Pugno and then blogged about why I stood up for Andy Pugno.

Pugno raised a boatload of money and pulled the establishment in with him – kicking and screaming…

Obama In Wonderland- One Pill Makes You Larger And The Other Makes You Small

Obama repeated his red pill blue pill analogy at a news conference last night about his stalling health care proposal.

If there’s a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that’s going to make you well? – President Barack Obama

Obama is the consumate saleman, I wish he would work for my company and I would be rich in no time. As the ooze leaked out of the TV set, I found myself thinking, this is a good idea, free health care for all, and we can stick some a**hole rich dudes with the bill.

But let’s keep our eye on the ball. The proposal being circulated has 1000 unread pages, is being rammed through without sufficient review and has projections of being revenue neutral not supported by the congressional budget office.

Government projections are ALWAYS overly optimistic.

So if you were swayed by the smooth talking Obama last night, smack yourself and WAKE UP. We are in the middle of the worst recession since the great depression, and another huge government spending program is not what we need right now.

And they said they were convinced that a major expansion of Medicaid would leave them with heavy costs. -source NY Times

The States are broke, the people are broke, but the Democrats do not seem to care. Spend, spend, spend……
