I just got off of the phone with California Republican Assembly State President Mike Spence.

Spence did say the Governor was more than welcome to come to the meeting and defend his policies…… Read More

For those of you that have not seen the cult classic Signs, Lies, and Videotapes I will have to look into the copyright issues and get that up on YouTube somewhere.

For those of you that have — we have a new edition to the story.

KERN radio personality Scott Cox adds his name to the Hall of Shame next to Rich Sybert and a host of others. You can read the story here in the Bakersfield Californian.

It is not the signs that really gets people — it is the cover up and the lies.

Note: The discipline involved in the Strickland campaign when this happened was also a major part of the story. Instead of blasting Sybert immediately they waited and let him hang himself for good with the lie he told shortly after the incident.… Read More

Here is my introduction to the list, and below that a link to the full column…

TIME TO USE THAT VETO PEN… Unfortunately for the people of California, the State Legislature is dominated by liberal Democrats. because of it, there were scores of bills passed by the legislature, over the objection of Republicans, that are on the Governor’s desk. In an effort to allow readers of the FlashReport to really get a handle on how well Governor Schwarzenegger is wielding his veto pen over the coming weeks, the FlashReport asked two of Sacramento’s most well-respected Republican legislators, State Senator Bob… Read More

News reports all over the place that John McCain is suspending his campaign to deal with the financial crisis and the $700 Billion dollar bailout plan.

Obama initially refused McCain’s invitation to return to DC to deal with the problem.

FoxNews reports the story here…but its on nearly every news outlet.

Here are the remarks from John McCain in New York today:

Remarks on the Economic Crisis by John McCain New York, Wednesday, September 24, 2008 America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy.

If we do not act, every corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow… Read More
