Auburn Journal takes a shot at the Placer GOP Committee

Below is a comment I left on the column that I am linking…
Jim – I will address only the issue you raise about the Placer GOP Committee’s endorsement being divisive.
The elected officials in this county have all endorsed – well most of them. The members of the GOP Committee are themselves elected, so it is consistent that they should be able to endorse as well.
In your effort to write your column to show the committee as divided, you omitted the previous motion to supress was defeated by a count of 4-21. This means that there were 21 votes to support – actually 22 if you include Ken Campbell who had to leave early. the final vote of 17-8 was because 4 people had an issue with there being no notice – not because they didn’t support Rico.
the opinion of the committee was that Doug Ose’s views are inconsistent with the voters that elected the committee members to their offices. Ose is pro-choice, F rated by Gun owners of America, voted against the defense of marriage amendment and has voted for open borders.
Further, in your column… you blame Tom Hudson for the loss of GOP Registrations further underlining your bias against the Central Committee. The loss of Registrations has more to do with the State GOP having no money for a registration program and the poor performance of Governor Arnold than anything you lay at Hudson’s feet.
The Central Committee would not be doing its’ job if it was acquiescent with everything the leaders of the GOP are doing - including supporting a congressional candidate like Doug Ose who is scarcely different than Charlie Brown.

What does this bozo Jim at the Journal know anyway? And why does his opinon matter about the Placer GOP club? They can nominate and back whoever they want. He’s basically acting like the head of the RNC telling what they can and can’t do. Why should they wait and see who gets the nomination? What if that person is not right for the party or for the 4th Congressional District? Don’t Americans have the right to back whoever they want? Are we just supposed to be spoonfed and told who to support? That’s the worst advice I’ve ever heard of. So Jim can inject his views into this debate but the Placer GOP can’t express their views on the Congressional nominee for their own party? Maybe Jim should move to China.
