I still love you guys, but you keep blowing it
Maybe I am wasting my time writing this blog. Some would tell me that the following passage of scripture applies:
“… nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” Matthew 7:6 NKJV Bible
The concept is can your audience handle and act on the message? Or will they shoot the messenger? I have a lot of people in the opposition I consider friends. I am also of the belief that there are a few people within the ranks of the opposition that are unhealthy leaders at best, and at worst would have some sort of diagnosis.
The opposition will never win or achieve their goals of “taking back the CAGOP” when they are listening to morally corrupt people.
I chose the photo of me with the FBI hat on to commemorate that the FBI showed up at my front door after the CAGOP’s staff freaked out over me blowing my stack on them. I was working for Steve Frank’s ill-fated Chair Campaign in 2021. I have zero regrets about standing up for my principles, but that race and seeing the players involved started a process.
I was told by mutual acquaintances that just weeks after losing his bid for CAGOP Chair, Steve Frank characterized my working for him as a “Marriage of Convenience” and that he still hated me. This is the kind of behavior I used to trash David Stafford Reade and others for. Steve is a leader in the opposition, yet morally, is equivalent to any of the ‘bad guys” I used to trash. I damn near got hauled to prison by a couple of FBI agents while trying to elect the guy chair…
When you add the fact that Steve Frank’s column is full of outright lies, manipulated facts and opinions that should be in the DSM manual – he has decimated his legacy as a leader. Frank is 78 years old and should have retired several years ago. As he gets older and angrier, his destructive impact on the opposition increases… similar to a star going supernova when it dies.
I have learned a life lesson, I will retire from the political scene before I wreck my legacy. I will carry the memory of watching Steve spiral as he has aged with me the rest of my life… and I am not alone.
Secondly, forgive people. (more on that further down the post)
From an email sent to me by an opposition member:
I told Mike and will be telling Jack to drop kick Steve Frank and warned them about Sky Jones. She is a grifter and scammer.
Sky Jones is someone featured in one of my past posts.
And the next two came to me via text:
“…The vitriol and rabid behavior exhibited by the Morrell gang was ridiculous. The lies, the in your face coercion tactics were beyond shocking…”
“… it’s becoming clear that our MAGA base is being infiltrated by real conspiracy theorists…”
There were several that recognized that Steve Frank needs to go and the opposition would do well to marginalize Mr. Frank and make him go away.
A second toxic opposition leader is Tom Hudson. I have written about this guy a lot. When he gets up to speak at convention, it is a signal to the gathered convention to vote opposite of anything he said. His legal “advice” helped drive several county parties in to ineffective chaos. The democrats should put the guy on retainer. The older he gets, the worse his already clinical level of rage gets. He overcompensates for everything he lacks as a man with Anger. It is a sad waste of talent. As long as he has influence on the opposition, the opposition will be ineffective and morally corrupt.
We had a laboratory for when Steve Frank and Tom Hudson ran the CAGOP – Tom Del Bacardi. The Party was $2MM in the hole when Del Becarro was ousted as Chair after one miserable failure of a term. (It also included a lot of lost seats everywhere in California as well)
I have known Hudson and Frank for over 25 years and have ample personal experience and evidence with both of them. They both need to go and smart, disciplined people would do well to separate them from anything that matters, period.
Even now, Steve Frank is writing about how Tom Ross is a victim of Corrin Rankin. Almost every negative thing I ever learned about Tom Ross came from Steve. Ross is the consummate “Swamp” player if there ever was one. Steve Frank’s lack of moral compass shows clear as he is going to oppose everything the CRA ever wanted if it is Corrin Rankin doing it and he is defending team McCarthy swamp creatures as well.
The opposition has no clue who Corrin Rankin is, Steve Frank and Tom Hudson want it that way.
Rankin is going to clean up the CRP. Many things that I heard old now deceased CRA dinosaurs talk about 25 years ago are coming out of Corrin. She wants the party to follow its’ bylaws. She wants to increase participation and transparency. It sounds like Bill Back’s presentation to CRA in 2002! (Back lost to Duf Sundheim)
So do Frank and Hudson want a healthy CAGOP? Nope, they want control and are leading the opposition into the abyss in the process.
Corrin’s first batch of appointments tell the story:
Scott Winn manages her political operation. Scott and I have a lot of negative history – but nothing speaks to who Winn is better than the fact that he was willing to talk with me and work with me on her behalf despite our history. Several people tried to being David Reade and I together and Reade refused every time. Jessica Patterson and Andy Garakhani were the same way – cross them once and you were done forever.
Scott and I were able to connect, bury the hatchet and move foreword. He is an outspoken Evangelical Christian and lives like it. I don’t agree with him on everything, but he will serve us all well. More importantly, he can tolerate disagreement and work with people.
Ron Nehring, again Nehring and I have had some negative history as well in recent years. That said, Ron is capable, connected and accomplished. In my formative years in politics, I attended a Leadership Institute seminar he facilitated. The information altered the course of my career in politics and I still apply it to this day. Nehring has connections across the world, developed in the 20 years since he served as CAGOP Chair. I believe Nehring will succeed and add value to the CAGOP. And thank you Ron Nehring for that Leadership Institute seminar I attended in 1999!
Kevin Faulconer. Didn’t like him as a Governor candidate. Love him as a fundraiser and connection person. The role Corrin has placed him in is ideal for the GOP. I only know Kevin politically, I do not know him as well as I do Nehring and Winn. I hope Faulconer Succeeds.
Matt Shupe. He is a talented PR Guy and will be better than anything the CAGOP has ever had in that regard. Shupe is best known for his work on behalf of Harmeet Dhillon – soon to be confirmed as the #2 in the DOJ.
Kevin Lincoln. Don’t know much about him other than his service as Mayor of Stockton and his recent near-miss for Congress. He seems to be an up and comer in the GOP scene.
The message is simple. Corrin Rankin’s GOP is not the CRA GOP. It is not the McCarthy GOP. If you decide to participate and be a part of it, there is room for you. That alone is a dramatic change from the last 25 years I have been around CAGOP politics.
You don’t have to compromise your principles, you just have to be willing to work with people… You have a choice: the same losing with Steve Frank and Tom Hudson – or trying something new?

The above message confirms why Aaron Park as turned to the Dark Side…. Darth Vader Park. (and you are wrong about Steve Frank, he just has a personality that is very hard to get close to or gain his trust. He has been burned many times, … and he was bright and chipper at this last convention…even though the numbers looked bad he stayed positive).
However, Aaron, your posting the above confirms everything I have said about you and the ‘Dark Side’…Take some time and reflect on what your core values are.
And I believe it was 2019 that Jessica defeated Steve Frank and Travis Allen for Chair. She did 6 years as the chair! (not 2021) Please correct me if wrong. (Jessica got booed by the floor at the Indian Wells Convention, that was before COVID)
WARNING/DISCLAIMER: If you are squeamish, aghast at foul words or brutal honesty?
Skip this post.
===================================================================
BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…………….OMG, this ISH is hecka funny!!
Whhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooo Aaron, you’ve outdid yourself. (applause)
“You don’t have to compromise your principles, you just have to be willing to work with people… You have a choice: the same losing with Steve Frank and Tom Hudson – or trying something new?” <——- THIS ****t cracked me up!!! lol
So, word is: You're paid by Corey. True, false, ???…..which is it? We'll never REALLY know. GOD knows.
IS she, two faced?? (according to those Rankin File video's…….some simple questions she either tucked/ducked her way out of). GOD knows.
ARE those people good? Or just people getting cushy jobs at the expense of others?
Only GOD knows.
You don’t have to compromise your principles, you just have to be willing to work with people (YOU said this)….Mostly that's a Moderate stance, cut and dry of it. I always hear stuff like this? And I immediately harken back to the days of our Country under English rule…or the South as they pushed for slavery back in the days….You don't have to LIKE slavery?, Just be willing to work with the slavers…….(le sigh)
You used this quote: "Matthew 7:6"……funny enough, cause I adopted this quote: "Mathew 17:20". Sound familiar?? To remind you: YOU CAN'T WIN. That mantra, Christians seem to embrace? Unless you're a paid consultant, then the WORLD is at your feet……..except when they talk about you behind your back.
Which is what the 'word on the street says': Are they paying you??
Steve Frank stays in your mindset, like Freddy in the movies. OMG….Steve Frank!!! To some people, he's THE MAN!!!! Heck, talk ish about him, and the WORLD dumps on you….Challenge him, and OMG, watch out!! Someone told me, it's due to Credibility….THOSE who talk badly about Steve, have credibility. Those who don't have it, can't talk bad about that person. I call: B***S*****.
Frank, I haven't met yet. Hudson, I've met and spoken to. Heard folks speak OF him as well. Heard folks speak OF YOU, as well. Sometimes, it's not flattering. Sometimes, it's incredible when folks ask me: You, know Aaron Parks?? (they roll their eyes).
Why is that?
I'm preeeeeeetty sure, folks on here who read this, or heard of this blog, talk major BS behind my back too. Just as well, since THOSE people don't seem to have the gonads to do it in person.
So, RANKIN WON! GET PAST IT! blah blah blah. Let's see, now that it's over with. Good, bad or indifferent. People have THEIR views on people. "Opposition" members as you call them, view things THEIR way. (Are they the TRUE conservatives?) "The Establishment:", as you call them, see things their way as well. (Moderate faction of our party? Or Elitists?) The CA GOP……led by what, previously? A moderate? Sell out? Functionally unable person who assisted in destroying the Party from within, and with help/assistance from someone named Munger? Pre-Ahnold of course…..???
Using YOUR logic, Patterson WON!! SHE was in charge, and look what happened?
How, kind sir, do YOU explain Patterson??
The Party, needs help. PAYCHECKS, motivate many. Personal EGO's, motivates others.
Arrogance or 'holier than tho' mentalities, infect some people as well (YUBA County VP…..coughcough).
I've come to notice, IF you don't FIT the on-the-spot narrative; you don't FIT into their group; you don't FIT into their checkbook amounts or status/stature?? You don't matter.
Literally. You're viewed with disdain if not outright disgust. (Who the eff are YOU???)
IF, that's what this Party is all about? CA GOP has issues way beyond, Patterson and/or Rankin or anyone else seeking a job for 250K a year, with the privilege of higher Pay commensurate with selling out their souls to get it.
People on here, or reading this?? YOU, supposedly KNOW, all there is to KNOW…..and in 30 years of TRYING, have failed to KNOW JACKS*******, except how to lose elections, lose public interest in the Party and hold onto a sliver of influence that even DEMO Staffers, smirk and sneer at. In famous Clint Eastwood language: You are legends in your OWN minds.
RANKIN WON. GET PAST IT!! Okay……..sure. Now let's see, how TRUTHFUL the opposition reports are/were/will be.
As to the Blogger……Mr. Aaron? YOU sir, quoted scriptures. YOU, went there.
Principles? Compromising them……….interesting topic. I put it to you like this:
I will be running for California State Governor in 2026. Reasons as to WHY are endless, just read/listen/hear what's going on in this State now and the past 30 years. The costs to myself? HA!!! Name em, I already know and more. The Challengers? Many and more. The so called, HELP from establishment people? Far, few and doubtful. Yet, I'm trying to fight FOR something……others? What "principles" are they fighting for? Besides a paycheck? YOU, what are YOU fighting for, except a paycheck? I'm willing to bet, enough cash and YOU would be working for ME……..unless you wish to prove a point and deny the payment.
Still…………scriptures. YOU said, it CAN NOT be done. YOU SAID, you can't win. WHO knows me? WHO supports me? WHO is on MY SIDE??
Joshua 1:9, Aaron. That's, who is on MY side.
Unlike many, I'm not here for the check, fame or fortunes yet to make.
I'm here, to make a difference.
You have a choice: the same losing with the vast Party experience of losing constantly – or trying something new?
Aaron (Park)…I had to jog my memory…….I think we have had two conventions at the Grand Hyatt, Indian Wells, and one at the Marriott Desert Springs next city over in Palm Desert. (But I was deployed overseas from 200-2007 for the Global War on Terrorism- so there may have been others). It was the last on in Fall of 2019, Jessica’s first convention after taking office a chair when she got loudly BOOED from floor from almost half the delegates at Indian Wells. I remember I make a motion and she, based on Mike Ozborn’s direction, ruled against my motion to be considered….and BOOO came from all areas of the Convention Floor. I had never seen a State Chair get Booed like that before. I remember it well, because after adjournment, Mike Ozborn came up and told me that if I opposed them they will squish me. hahah… Only and idiot would make that threat to someone like me. Anyway….in the past now… But I never thought you would ‘turn to the Dark Side’…But is apparent that you have.
Charlie:
2019 was Patterson v Allen v Frank
2021 was Patterson v Frank
2023 was Patterson v Cargile
Aaron said in 2021 blog posts he was running Steve Frank’s campaign
Just clearing up the timeline.
A. Harmoney that would make some sense….I just don’t seen how Aaron Park could have worked for Steve Frank in 2019 and Corrin Rankin for Vice in 2019. Almost all Steve’s delegated voted for Peter Kuo on the final ballot. You think Aaron Park would have been smater than that to let that happen. So I was scratching my head on the 2019…..

Speaking of how the “establishment” or “opposition” is goung yo win many seats in Calufornia and the mansion…
Look at the statemwets from Weber and Bonta. These are not well people. CRP should have no problem taking out the trash and that is EXACTLY why the “circular firing squad” exists. Infiltrators and actors all around to poison the well of conservatism in the golden state.
California was never blue, and Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming-not even people masquerading as Republicans/Conservatives.
Trump’s EO regarding election integrity has many scared poopless-including blogger no doubt.
And why is blogger hinting at ceasing his blog? The money run out? Or maybe the psyop has run it’s course? Or honeypot dried up? I hope it isn’t due to losing faith. Without faith, we are lost. Divided we are weak. Does anyone here know the REAL ENEMY yet? Or does eveyone know but are afraid to look it in the eye?
California was never blue. Dems are adopting MAGA to market to voters. Reps have to seize the day now. The whole state is theirs to win. Just look at a recent poll:
83% of voters said gas prices are too high in California
69% think California’s Political Leaders have not done enough to bring down energy/utility costs
71% believe the Governor and Legislative Leaders have not addressed CA’s high cost of living
73% support fully funding anti-crime Prop. 36, which has not occurred
72% feel homelessness still is a big problem
60% oppose free healthcare to undocumented illegal immigrants
62% support a “full independent investigation” of the recent Los Angeles Wildfires
Only 24% of Californians think males (transgender) should compete in female sports”
So, if only a fourth of CA voters are Rep, then who’s voting MAGA in this poll? Dems and RINOS will try to cling to power by masquerading as MAGA. They’re easy yo spot. And NO, they are not “coming around to MAGA ideas”. They are actors, and we see them all. Based on this poll, the voters of CA seem to be overwhelmingly endorsing MAGA principles.

As the person pretending to be something other than a pixel….I was going to ignore this “person”, but……seeing this dribble, I just can’t help mahself….lol
If, as this knowledgeable twit infers, “California was never blue”…..seriously? Explain how in California, if it’s never blue, are there ONLY 20 Legislatures in office? Why DAHLE isn’t in office? WHY Fiorina, wasn’t elected GOV. Delusions from the Elite members of the “establishment”, which if I see correctly, are nothing more than Republicans content to being LOSERS for the sake of MONEY and/or whatever influence they perceive they have.
Beyond their own Counties, what influence DO they have?
Jack and S***.
The so called, POLLING NUMBERS, came from where again? So, the question begs:
How many were contacted vs how many RESPONDED?
How many were of what political ilk?
How many actually VOTE? Or pretend to vote? Or tell you they vote?
DAHLE, only got 1.2 m voters to squeak into the Primary race, and then only netted 4.4m votes overall. That, was only 16% of the eligible voters. 40.8% for you so called, Smart people. He lost, in a state that, per the twit, isn’t Blue.
GOP Northern, wants Hilton. Socialism on steroids. great.
GOP South, wants Bianco. Amnesty international at it’s finest. great.
What message do they bring?? (hands to ears) Nothing…crickets.
Lot’s of PLANS……lots of PROMISES……so what?
Oh, and MONEY FOR THE CONSULTANTS!!!! Yea…..THAT”S what they bring to the table.
You and me, are afterthoughts.
The TWIT, can’t make a coherent statement, much less a point, unless they hide/shuffle/beguile/BullS*** their way into the English language.
As to TRUMP and his Executive Order?? Big whoop………..lawsuit pending. And??
That man BREATHES, and it’s a lawsuit..lol….the most LITITGATED President in our Nations History…..fact check that crap.
HE wants ballots NO LATER THAN (NLT) the day of the Election. He wants ID’s checked, and Citizenship status checked.
CA GOP??? They can’t do any of the above. Yet, they have elections. RANKIN WON!
Yea…….we can see WHO can be upset with Trump, over elections and his mandates.
RANKIN WON. I can’t imagine, how Ms. Rankin, will openly support this, while (allegedly) disavowing this in private. Central Committee BS would be brought to heel. Imagine that.
Fair, and open, elections, in our own State Party. What a concept.
And as to polling? Supposedly, 50% love Hilton, while 50% love Bianco.
What part of BU***S**** was THIS poll made from.
While you’re sitting there, rebuking ME……THEY are about to TELL you, which Losing Campaign YOU will be allowed to Vote for. No choice, just a selection.
Disbelief? Raise your hands:
1) HOW MANY OF YOU THINK, I HAVE NO CHANCE?
2) HOW MANY OF YOU THINK, WE CAN ONLY GET ONE CANDIDATE INTO THE PRIMARY?
3) HOW MANY OF YOU THINK, WE CAN GET TWO INTO THE PRIMARY?
#3……..is doable. IF, Republicans act like they want to WIN at something, instead of just
making noise, doing nothing, and padding their consultants’ pockets.
THAT, is optimism. THAT, is hope. THAT, is FAITH in GOD and SELF.
THAT………is what is lacking in our Party.
“No matter how he tries to spin it, elections in California and across the country — in blue and red states alike — are secure. Voter fraud is largely a figment of his imagination.””
-California Attorney General Rob Bonta
Seems Rob knows something about all the other 49 states. How?
Bad mind reading Roberta. Most Americans now know how UNSECURE any electronic elections are. No putting Genie back in the bottle.
Leo, you need to seek out Yoda for Jedi training… The old saying applies. I wise man speaks little but listens a lot. lol
Aaron (Park) you back in the day we were on the same team for a while…and I considered you a friend and a savvy advisor. But we have not spoken much in years. Just to clear something up…Now I was almost as pissed at the CRA years ago as you were. That ban was Bull Crap. But in case you don’t know Hudson was not behind it and did not agree with it. From what I found out after the fact the vote of the board was 44 against you and 4 for you and George.
Tom Hudson was one of the 4 votes that said NO. He did not agree. He ended up President of CRA, due resignation of the former President. He did not that job either, and yes, he had to work with them and after the fact hold the CRA together…but he was never your enemy…He did not agree with what they did. As you know I was so pissed off myself that I left the CRA because I thought it was total Bull Shit what happened, even before that went down, I left the CRA (but have rejoined as a member at large). There were some nerds and turds in the ranks back then, but Carl (and Jimmy before him) has cleaned the CRA up and under Carl Brickey (My Vice Chair when I was Yolo Chair) the CRA has become a professional well-run organization. I want you to know this because when you attack Hudson, you attack 1 of the 4 that thought what they did was bull shit. Thought you should know.
Write a blog, get 10 times the words in comments. #clinicalpeople
Aaron you were once a great Jedi, there is still good in you, fight the Dark Side and come back to the Rebellion…You are Leo’s father (hahahahahahah) Feel the Force turn away from the Evil Empire and the Dark Side ….
There will always be an awful stench in cagop as long as
1) they use the proxy system to control the outcome. No, it’s not all farmers, military, and first responders. They lie to us at every convention.
2) tell candidates for public office to use their hand picked consultants or else no help whatsoever
3) The Consultants/doners control the organization.
We have new blood. Let’s pray for integrity.
