4th Senate District Race Update / Prop 8 Update
Ahhhh yes, the fur is flying and the No on 8 crowd have finally showed their agenda. Some of the highest-rated posts on Right On Daily have come courtesy of our coverage of the absurdity of the Prop 8 trial.
The No on 8 crowd are actually arguing that Prop 8 should be voided because they argue that yes on 8 was motivated by religious animus. One witness, Gary Segura, a Stanford University political science professor with expertise in the area of the political power of minorities including homosexuals, summed it up when he said “religion is the chief obstacle for gays’ and lesbians’ political progress.”
So there you have it – out in the open. The group screaming the loudest for tolerance wants tolerance at the expense of religious freedom.
They are also arguing that Homosexuals are an oppressed minority – or something similar. Did anyone look and see that there are at least ten homosexuals in the state legislature as well as the speaker of the Assembly. Not bad for a group representing about 2% of the population.

Now – let’s say you’re running for State Senate. You are racking up the same endorsement list as someone who ran for Congress, spent $8 Million and lost. But, now – people are bailing off of that endorsement list for nothing other than a validation of your opponent’s message.
You would be Doug LaMalfa. Your opponent who is digging in to your base of support would be Rick Keene.
The Sheriff of Del Norte County bailed on LaMalfa.
The Mayor of the largest city in the district (Redding) bailed on LaMalfa.
And the grass roots, “Keene has previously been endorsed by YRFC Chapters in Butte, Yuba, Sutter Counties as well as the state YRFC.” (quoting a Keene press release when he announced the Nevada County YRFC endorsement)
Doug LaMalfa is in trouble and February hasn’t even started yet.
