iePolitics: Americans for America Tea Party

I attended tonight’s meeting of this new Tea Party group.  The guest speakers were Judy Morris, Paul Chabot, and Assemblyman Tim Donnelly.  There will be an Examiner article tomorrow.

Tim and I did an excellent job of ignoring one another (actually I have no clue if he even remembers me as we have only met a few times).  As much as I have had issues with Tim, I can honestly say I was impressed tonight.

Anyway, this Tea Party group seemed to consist of normal people and not all the whack jobs that usually attend high desert tea parties.  Here is a link:  Americans for America Tea Party

iePolitics: Chris Jones and Jessica Austin Defeated!

This one win makes up for all other losses.  Congratulations to Mike Morrell.  It is nice to see good triumph over evil.  And Mike Morrell is a good man who was outspent by a very large sum and was the subject of an enormous amount outright lies by Jessica and Chris.

Way to go Mike!  And also congratulations to Paul Chabot.  Insiders did not consider you a real contender and look what you pulled off!  You should be proud of the campaign you ran.

iePolitics: The Race for the 63rd Assembly District

The 63rd Assembly District is one of two hotly contested Assembly seats in San Bernardino County.  There are seven Republicans vying for the Republican nomination, six of which are actively campaigning for the seat.  They are:  Mike Morrell, Paul Chabot, Acquanetta Warren, Pat Gilbreath, Henry Nickle, and Don Kurth.

This was both an easy and hard decision for me, not as to whom to vote for, as I don’t live in the district, but rather whom to support.  There are several very well qualified candidates.

There is only one candidate that I do not want to see win and that is Don Kurth.  He was a convicted drug felon in his 20s and served prison time.  Later in life he has had issues with domestic violence.  He has also had some serious financial problems.  But more important to me than any of that, Don, along with his campaign manager Jessica Austin, and campaign consultant Chris Jones, has run the single most unethical and dirty campaign in all of San Bernardino County.  None of the three of them appear to have any ethics or integrity whatsoever.  What they have done is shameful.  And it would be shameful if a RINO such as Don Kurth received the Republican Party’s nod.
