Moments after hitting "post," I have received a reply from the Riverside County GOP, offering to put me in touch with Jackson's likely opponent in the general election. Score one response.

The Democratic Party doesn’t exist either. Not any more. It’s some grotesque perversion of what it used to be. I’m out. Now I’m just into common sense and truth. Parties don’t mean crap any more. They’ve abandoned the humans. They’re their own monstrous amoral entities now.

The repubican party has been a dead letter in Kalifornia for decades. Don’t ever confuse the repubican party(ies) anywhere as a party who cares for us everyday honest, law abiding, responsible, tax paying citizens

Republicans remind me of some Little League parents. They complain about how things are done, could be better, or how other people are doing things the right way. But, they never manage a team, become an assistant coach, or even volunteer to hit ground balls or throw batting practice.

To imagine they would sit on the board or be president or even umpire a game is impossible.

What you’re doing is very uncommon. Most people don’t look into things. Reading lawsuit information is tedious. Reading history and how it relates to current events, and then making it relevant to people is time consuming.

It’s harder than doing nothing…so they don’t don’t.

California Republicans are used to losing and being a powerless minority. They are like the parents sitting at the top of the bleachers: do-nothing whiners.

Thanks again for another great post. I appreciate your work and look forward to it.

Silly bear, you think there are two political parties?

Wait? The Republican Party is a political organization? I thought it was a fund raising charity for the unskilled, unmotivated and otherwise unemployable in our society. Gee.

In my own defense, I'd have probably been aware of this earlier if said political party actually, you know, tried or something.

Repubicans don’t want to win — that would mean they might have to actually do something. They would rather get all the perks but not have to work.

Masquerades as the opposition while getting enriched while doing so.

We need a new party. The Patriots party.

Chris Bray for California Assemblyman!!! Seriously, I would support your campaign for any office. We need more non-psychopaths in elected positions of authority.

Chris,

Your bright light and investigative research and implications on this are stunning! Great work!

At the same time - it is beyond belief and discouraging that the CA GOP is that asleep at the wheel to let this out of control narcissist have another term and work his way up the Dem leadership of the CA State Assembly. Glad to know that you did receive at least one response from the CA Riverside County GOP. Please keep us informed about this "race".

This isn’t just a California problem. Apathy will be the death of western republics.
