From a Placer GOP Committee Member who called into Eric Hogue’s Show -

Yesterday I had the chance to ask Doug Ose a question on the Eric Hogue show. I asked him “You stated that you would only run for three terms in the Congress, yet when you left you kept a $500 thousand campaign fund and are now running in the 4th district despite your pledge… How do you explain that?”

His answer (paraphrased) is that things are different now. The world is a worse place and the country needs him.

Unfortunately, I was hung-up on and did not have the opportunity to follow up because the answer was clearly dishonest. How did he know that the world would need him when he hung on to that $500K? Is it more likely that he intended to run again and that is why he kept the money?

We really need the elected members in the 4th to get off Ose’s bandwagon and stand for Republican principles. It really bothers me to see them line up with him for what appears self-interest, rather than principle.

And another Placer GOP member responded with the following reply to the first committee member…

I don’t say this lightly, understanding full well what I am saying, but Doug Ose is a liar, he is lying about his record. After Doug Ose announced, I spent a couple hours researching his voting record and I have been appalled at what I found. I am now in New Orleans at a Council for National Policy meeting, and I will flat out tell you Doug’s record will be exposed… how he voted on taxes, wasteful spending, life, family, guns, etc. Doug will not be able to hide from his record. These elected officials will have to choose, will they stand with Ose and his ideas? Are they really people who want to raise our taxes, increase their pay, expand government, take guns away, promote the culture of death and push homosexual marriage? These elected officials may well have done us a favor, they have identified themselves as left of center… and opposed to conservative principles.

Are there any questions as to why the Placer GOP committee endorsed Rico then McClintock.
