I could lie and say that I've been too busy with moving, starting school, constant back and forth between SF and LA, but, well, that would be a lie. It's not that I haven't been following the news or what's going on with the upcoming elections and politics in general, because I have. I still read RWN and Ms. Malkin, amongst others, religiously and I even started receiving the Wall Street Journal since it was strongly recommended by all my professors. So no, it's not that I'm much too busy and have fallen off the face of the earth, it's just that, I feel rather disheartened by everything that is going on.

I know I shouldn't be all defeatist and everything, but the state of things is seriously depressing. For example, the California gubernatorial race. Arnold vs. Angelides. Who the hell am I supposed to vote for amongst those two? On the one hand you've got Arnold, the RINO who would actually consider signing this piece of crap legislation that makes illegal aliens eligible for financial aid (by the way does anyone know if he signed it or not, I heard he was going to but I'm not sure). On the other hand you've got...Phil Angelides. 'Nuff said.

I do want to vote for certain candidates in the state election (like Tony Strickland who I have personally had the opportunity to work and hang out with - he is a REAL Republican who definitely deserves our support) but I will most likely not select a candidate for governor. Honestly, I think it may be better for the CRP in the long run if Arnold doesn't win. Why? Because he is not a real Republican in terms of his actions (at least not since he got his feelings hurt when all of his initiatives were struck down in the most recent special election) but when his liberal-like antics run the state further into the ground the Republicans will get the blame for it just because he has that (R) behind his name. At least if Angelides wins the blame can be placed right where it belongs: with the Democrats. Maybe then people will get fed up enough to vote out the Democratic legislature that keeps passing crazy crap that is often clearly against the will of the people of California. This is the only way to effect any real change in California...getting rid of that firmly entrenched Democratic legislature.

So yeah, I think I'm just going through one of these periods that a lot of California Republicans probably go through...when you start to feel like the whole world is made up of illogical leftists and you can't do crap about it. I'll get over it and get back to being my usual passionate, opinionated self soon. I hope.
