Right On Daily Endorses Doug LaMalfa CA-01 and Tom McClintock CA-04

Nov 012019

I’m going to take the occasion of my 17th Sober Birthday to practice the principles that helped me achieve this milestone. I have a lot of issues with the way Tom McClintock chooses to govern and his discarding of political allies in the past. He’s done it his entire career. Doug LaMalfa and I have never really liked each other, either.

The are greater issues at work. Both LaMalfa and McClintock have extreme left-wing wackjobs funded with rage-fueled donations from the far left whose only agenda is to destroy the President. Look no further than the Washington Post obituary for the psychotic maniac leader of ISIS – calling him an Austere Scholar – to understand the deep level of psychosis that has gripped the democrat party and their ~~whores~~ partners in the media. The democrats would rather see America Fail then align themselves with the President on anything.

It is so bad that the President skipped the usual briefings on the mission to kill the leadership of ISIS with the dem leadership in congress because he knew they would leak the info to the press in an attempt to sabotage the operation. We need the Republicans in control of the House again or else the kangaroo courts and the deliberate roadblocking of legislation and treaties will continue.

It would be hypocritical then for me to rail on the democrats for living in a world of anti trump rage and continue to allow my personal issues with both LaMalfa and McClintock to keep me from doing the right thing as a conservative blogger and endorsing them both for re-election.

I am actually almost 100% politically aligned with Doug LaMalfa as it is, I could not see myself voting differently on anything than him in the last 4 years. McClintock is more libertarian, choosing isolationism and legalizing narcotics for example. At that, I’d say I agree with McClintock well over 80% of the time.

My endorsements then, are a Political Endorsement born out of a greater desire to see these men continue to advance the agenda of President Trump. I’ve been told by several that both are mellowing out as they get older and are becoming more approachable. Perhaps having psychotic rage-filled democrats trying to run drills against them has helped this maturation. I can’t speak to either of their character or changes from how I know them, I can only see what I read from organizations that score votes and the actions of their opponents.

When I was at the Placer GOP Meeting where LaMalfa and McClintock were endorsed I did indeed vote with the unanimous majority in the room to endorse them both.

#CA-01 Update: We Endorse Joe Montes for Congress

CA-01 Race, Doug LaMalfa 1 Response »

Joe Montes for Congress is the real deal. He has created jobs, run businesses and also prosecuted the bad guys.

The above resume represents more than trust-fund baby Doug LaMalfa has accomplished in his entire life. LaMalfa has been used to having everything his way and handed to him on a silver platter.

Perhaps this is why he is regularly seen staggering drunk in the halls of Congress now that he is in an environment where he can’t get his own way. The good ole days of wrecking a mustang under suspicious circumstances and having both the $16k bill and the circumstances mysteriously disappear are long gone for Mr. LaMalfa in the meat-grinder of Washington D.C.

Joe Montes has helped create over 200 jobs in Butte County. Doug LaMalfa and his family have ripped us all off for $6 million plus in farm welfare and LaMalfa voted for a bill to make tracking future farm welfare payments much more difficult.

Worse, LaMalfa’s scores from Conservative advocacy groups are horrendous. Heritage has given him a D. When LaMalfa ran for State Senate against Rick Keene, he falsely portrayed himself as a Conservative and as “One of Us”.

He was neither then, and still is not now. I know dozens, perhaps hundreds who were deceived in to believing that Doug LaMalfa was a conservative leader. They are off the reservation now and this is the nexus for the serious challenge to LaMalfa’s hegemony.

The powers that be set up a retirement-handoff for Doug LaMalfa a few years ago to get in to congress and are hastily arranging the deck chairs for LaMalfa’s impending retirement.

Vote for Joe Montes now and send two messages, 1. We are done with insider games and 2. We get to pick our own representatives.

Joe Montes is running for CA-01 against Congressman Doug LaMalfa. Apparently, the Congressman is losing his grip on the district and several within it are getting restless.

An unapologetic conservative, Joe Montes enjoys support from talk radio host Lars Larson and from Fox News’ Ed Rollins.

Joe decided to run for Congress when he saw the dismal approval rating of Congress, including hearing from local constituents who are tired of Doug LaMalfa’s waffling on the issues.

LaMalfa voted for the Amtrak Reauthorization bill, giving out $7.5 billion in corporate welfare. He voted for the TPP giving fast track authority to President Obama in foreign trade agreements. He also voted to continue funding for Planned Parenthood.

Joe is a business development specialist, attorney, and experienced senior executive in Chico. Joe served his community as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney and is a former Washington Administrative Law Judge.

He is a founding member and Judge of the Chico Youth Court, a diversion program designed to guide juvenile offenders away from crime and destructive behavior, and bring accountability and change to their lives. He and his wife Cindy are the proud parents of Alexander and Maggie, their two rescue cats.

• Business Experience. Joe is the General Manager of AAA Properties, a Chico-based property management firm with residential and commercial properties located primarily in Chico and the surrounding area. He also has oversite authority over the Hotel Diamond and other properties owned by Wayne Cook.

CA-01 Update – Do Not Under Any Circumstances Vote for Doug LaMalfa

CA-01 Race, California Republican Assembly, California Republican Party, Doug LaMalfa 5 Responses »

(This was originally posted Aug 8, 2012 and has been moved for relevance)

I have been an officer in the California Republican Assembly for 10 years. I am forbidden from endorsing a Non-Republican for Partisan Office. In the 15 years I have been a Registered Voter and Political Activist, I have only voted for one Democrat – Gina Garbolino, the former Mayor of Roseville. I have never voted for anyone in a 3rd party or a DTS candidate, ever.

Doug LaMalfa is the Republican “Nominee” in the 1st Congressional District, and I am embarrassed for the Republican Party.

Doug LaMalfa’s Chief of Staff is getting sued for libel, his consultant had his office raided in the Bill Postmus corruption scandal and was routinely lambasted in the local media for bald-faced lying in mailers. Doug LaMalfa’s former campaign manager, David Stafford Reade has been the subject of legend in the North State and was most recently up to his neck in trying to decimate the California Republican Party Platform. Doug LaMalfa’s staff and delegates were recruited in to that effort.

With the above – you could say that LaMalfa is surrounded by corruption at best and at worst, Mr. LaMalfa is complicit in it.

Got doubts? It appears that Doug LaMalfa paid his chief of staff to violate federal election law – putting up an anonymous attack website and making it look like another candidate did it. Look at the payment to his chief of staff for “media related services” the day the attack website went live. Doug LaMalfa was lambasted all over north state media for this. He couldn’t even keep his story straight.

Doug LaMalfa claims to be “One of Us”. I don’t resent his wealth one bit – until you mix in the $5million in federal farm subsidies he has taken from us. Then I look at the stuff he and his family have – including a monster home in the Lake Almanor area reputed to be worth $4million. Then, I got angry – I get angrier when I look at his record of writing bills in the legislature to benefit himself and splitting the family farm six ways to circumvent the $180,000 a year per person farm welfare limit.

In similar fashion to his refusal to accept responsibility for the website, the attempts to destroy the GOP platform and the string of hypocricy – LaMalfa vigorously defends the Farm Welfare payments it appears he and his family are dependent on.

Even now, the “Republican” Congress is running a bill to make it more difficult for people like me to track Farm Welfare Payments. Doug LaMalfa’s primary backers support this effort.

It gets worse. LaMalfa claims to be a conservative – yet he and his team have been hell-bent to meet out revenge on anyone not 100% loyal. Since most of LaMalfa’s loyal supporters are liberals and moderates – this means that LaMalfa has been on a jihad against Conservatives in the North State. Doug LaMalfa prefers to endorse liberal Republicans over more conservative counterparts.

It just makes sense that team LaMalfa would try to destroy the Republican Party Platform.

I voted for Doug LaMalfa after he beat Rick Keene in the 2010 Primary for State Senate. I also attempted to make amends – despite the fact that LaMalfa and crew had engaged in what was then an 18 month campaign of slander with Local Tea Parties.

Not long after posting an apology on this blog to Mr. LaMalfa – he was quoted on the front page of the Sacramento Bee (in a media drill apparently run by his consultant Dave Gilliard) accusing my brother of committing felonies. Of course, his liberal allies on the local Central Committee jumped on this.

Doug LaMalfa by his actions and choices has forfeited the right to any Republican support.

When truly judged by his actions Doug LaMalfa represents the type of Republican that cost the GOP the House and the Senate in 2006.

No ethical or moral Republican voter should ever seriously consider voting for Doug LaMalfa under any circumstances. That is why this Conservative Republican Leader is advising any Republican voter in the 1st Congressional District to withhold their vote from Doug LaMalfa.
