CALIFORNIA ELECTION PICKS

NOTE **** More updates on lots of subjects on Facebook & Twitter (more often than my Blog)... Follow @marklarsonradio ***

THE BIG ONES in CALIFORNIA ... MY CHOICES:

U.S. Senate:   Elizabeth Emken
U.S. House of Representatives: Duncan D. Hunter
(I'm in his district... check yours. My other picks for Congress, San Diego area:  Darrell Issa, Nick Popaditch, Brian Bilbray


Statewide Propositions:

PROP. 30 - NO  (Nice try, Gov. Moonbeam..no dice ..again)
PROP. 31 - NO  (State GOP says yes on this.. but I'm a "no")
PROP. 32 - YES (It's about time we get this right)
PROP. 33 - YES (Like discounts? So do I?)
PROP. 34 - NO  (We have more than 720 on Death Row... Several, like the killer of little Polly Klaas, sit there mocking the system..  time to deliver the sentence...)
PROP. 35 - YES (A special place in hell for human traffickers)
PROP. 36 - NO  (Messing with Three Strikes Law)
PROP. 37 - NO  (More mumbo jumbo in labelling... and I don't care that they do this in Europe, either)
PROP. 38 - NO (Molly Munger's "let's tax everyone more" plan)
PROP. 39 - NO (More restrictions on business in our state)
PROP. 40 - YES  (need to change redistricting..again)

More rules of thumb: If candidates for less-known offices (especially incumbent candidates) don't have the guts to tell the public about who they are, their record, etc... skip 'em.  Remember: This isn't "take a guess" or vote for the person you always see on TV.  If you don't know about a race or proposition, SKIP IT. You will NOT invalidate your ballot.  

ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD:  If you have DVR or Tivo, freeze the fine print part of campaign ads. If it's something loved by SEIU, AFSCME, CTA or other way-too-powerful unions, do the opposite ...   which reminds me, again VOTE "YES" on Prop 32...

UH... SHE'S IN LA-LA LAND AGAIN

Hide your wallets, children and any other valuables: California Democrats are holding their annual convention here in San Diego this weekend. Pelosi was crowing last night about how she plans for Dems to take back the house and she'll again be speaker.... Chair John Burton who trashed me out of context in 2010 Gov. campaign runs the show.. aloing with the usual assortment of delegates straight out of the Star Wars cantina scene. Their theme is "Catch the Wave". That's the problem. I've been in this state for 35 years and the left wing tsunami has added higher taxes, more out of control regulations and loony laws galore.  I'm staying and fighting the good fight, but we are indeed (and have been) already living as if we're in Obama's second term here. It ain't pretty. Lots of work to do, repealing, replacing, keeping folks from fleeing to more bottom-line and liberty-friendly states...

HE'S BACK IN THE HOT TUB

For a while it seemed "journalists" smitten by President Obama (like Chris Matthews) were getting out of the hot tub and realizing they bought into some empty promises and more far-left ideology.  Now some are back to the "feel the tingle" mode, as evidenced by Mr.Matthews' latest adoration... this time it's the Obama smile:

YOU ATE TOO MUCH

It's not just Mrs. Obama telling us what not to eat. With the national healthcare mandate, everyone is getting into the act.  Check out my new blog www.youatetoomuch.com and keep up with the legions of Food Police and Nanny State folks...

NO CLERGY AT GROUND ZERO...

... but this cross is now part of the new Memorial. Despite efforts to remove God from the observance on Sunday, it is always clear that Devine power shines through, in spite of "politically correct" politicians. There will be plenty of prayer in the crowd... and across America.

NOTE: This is where the cross stood on the 5th anniversary in New York City. Now it's installed inside the new center.

REMEMBERING 9/11

This flag flew over a firehouse next to Ground Zero on 9/11/01. The building was destroyed when the Twin Towers fell. I took this photo as it was flying again over a rebuilt station on the 5th anniversary of the attacks in New York.

For additional photos and observations on 9/11/06, go to SEPTEMBER 2006 link to the right and scroll down.
