Confirmed Doug Ose Supporter Jeff Flint wrote the following in his response to my entry about how the NTU shows that Ose is not fit for office…

And finally, on an issue I have touched on and will address again, there is the issue of working with a team to move policy generally to the right, by effective legislating, by helping elected other Republicans, and working withing the Conference. On these, there is clear evidence in my mind that Ose would be a better representative than McClintock, based on years of personal observation.

Doug Ose was the California Chairman of the MainStreet Partnership, a Moderate Republican group during his tenure in Congress.

The Mainstreet Partnership raised money to run attack ads against conservatives – which flies in the face of “helping other Republicans”.

The Mainstreet Partnership also talks about Centrist Coalitions which flies in the face of “moving policy generally to the right”.

Attached below is a letter sent out 3/28/2003 signed in wet ink by Doug Ose that assails ‘right-wing fringe groups’ which included the Club for Growth, the Pennsylvania Republican Assembly, Gun Owners of America et. al. for preparing a campaign against Arlen Specter.

Specter as you remember, voted with President Bush only 43% of the time! The Mainstreet folks wondered why Republicans were aggrivated…

The letter is attached

Folks – this is why I am dead set against Ose ever holding office as a Republican. His behavior has been destructive to the Republican Team – including his big spending votes and defenses of “Republicans” that vote for Abortion Rights, Gay Marriage, Open Borders, to Grab Our Guns and for Higher Taxes. (MainStreet Republicans)

These kinds of Republicans are what led us to ruin in 2006 – voters look at them and can not tell the difference between MainStreet Republicans and Democrats.
