Carl Burton of the California Congress of Republicans recently sent out a letter supporting the bond busting proposals of the Governor. In order to do so he invoked conservative activist Steve Frank and his position of a former CRA President to do it. Here is the lead.
"I believe Steve Frank (past-President, CRA) was right on target when he wrote that Governor Schwarzenegger’s speech "… was an A+ speech …" Steve also wrote that the governor "… had passion, energy, structure, focus, it was delivered with humility in parts and sincerity throughout. He gave the audience confidence that he knew the subject and had a full grasp of the issues being raised. And the construction of the speech–masterful. Coming back several times with the line, ‘I say build it’ was forceful and positive."
You can see the whole CCR letter below.
While it is true Steve wrote this about the style of the speech, he was against the policy.
"The policy of this speech did not work, because it did not give answers, nor did it address the major budget busters facing California in 2006 and beyond. " You can see his original remarks here and his demand for an apology here.
Dan Schnur believes the Governor has an opportunity to explain his proposals. He has to do better than lifting a few words of praise from a conservative like some bad movie producer lifting a few words from a negative review. Come on.
