Californians Will Not Tollerate Lying Politicians!

Californians Expect Elected Officials to Keep Their Word

What happens when Americans elect politicians who put their promise to the people who elected them below their allegiance to the State?  Let us hope that men like Mr. Schroeder, an Orange County lawyer, who is directing the drive against Mr. Adams one of six republicans who broke with their promise to the people of California and voted with the State succeeds with his effort to teach to honor their word.  When a politician runs on promises to the people that then elect him and he in turn votes for the State instead of the people who put him in office, there is only one place he belongs, behind the wood shed.

“I put my oath of office above any pledge,” Mr. Adams said. “It was a budget that required a whole lot of compromise.” Mr. Maldonado, who received particular scorn by casting the sixth and decisive Republican vote, said he regretted signing the pledge. “I wish there were another word or two there that said, ‘except in cases of emergency.’”Antitax advocates have launched bids to sack two of the so-called Sacramento Six for supporting a budget that raises taxes.

The cowards who allowed the impasse to be broken should be known for what they are, socialists!  Anthony Adams, Roger Niello and Mike Villines of the Assembly, and Roy Ashburn, Dave Cogdill and Abel Maldonado of the Senate —  are not conservatives but weak (RINO) republicans in name only.  So far only Messrs. Adams and Ashburn have been served with recall papers.

All six lawmakers say the State’s largest-ever deficit and a looming cash shortfall necessitated approving a budget with new taxes. “I had a decision to make based on the reality of California’s financial [situation], and you couldn’t balance this budget without raising taxes,” Mr. Ashburn said.

Whatever happened to cutting spending programs, standing on conservative principals and promises to your constituents gentlemen?  Men who have no courage, who do not love their country, who do not understand that liberty is a precious commodity that is based on personal freedom are not republicans.  Freedom of and for men to make up their own minds that their inner ethical voice is all that is needed to provide opportunity for men to find their own moral compass in society is a conservative principal of true republicans.  Men who stand for government stealing property in the name of social virtue to set up future theft in the name of the State are men who will lose their liberty.  Republicans who are elected on their word but break public confidence should be tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a rail like the good ole days.

Thank God for men like Mike Schroeder, a former State GOP chairman who indicated that all except Mr. Niello – who broke a pledge they signed in 2008 vowing never to support tax increases. “The whole point is to send a message that if you get elected under false pretenses and you lie to voters, then you won’t be allowed to finish your terms,”  Mr. Schroeder said.  He is also confident his petition to recall Mr. Adams will qualify for the ballot.

Let us support Mr. Schroeder who is a true American in the spirit of our forefathers of the American Revolution holding representatives to the task of keeping their word.  What if the men who signed the Declaration of Independence decided to support England during the war for American freedom instead of their countrymen because it was easier than keeping their word?  This is the problem with most politicians today, they cannot keep their word, and they do not understand what it takes to protect freedom and liberty.

Most American politicians have lost their moral compass that was handed down through generations to protect freedom and liberty from the tyranny of government intervention in our lives.

If men like the Benedict Arnold six were original signors to the Declaration of Independence we would not have liberty to protect, but would be speaking German in a global fascist State like weak men are allowing to happen today.  Watch the President of the United States cowering among dictators seeking acceptance turning his back on America in favor of global social justice contrary to the constitution of the United States.

If the elected politicians will not keep their word and turn their backs on American values then the consequence of impeachment is the only alternative.  Let us hold President Obama to the same standard as the Benedict Arnold Six.
