I'm in favor of voting them out in the primary. But, you have to start identifying good candidates for replacements first and foremost. With viable replacements, the state is no better, and may even be worse for the efforts.

Who is a viable candidate for this seat in your district?

Good California conservatives have a major problem with statewide name recognition. Boxer is the most ineffective member of the Senate. I'm sure she is vulnerable, but I haven't seen any candidate willing to step into the ring who could draw the conservative voters to the polls.

The "Republican Party" did not pick Arnold. Most of the GOP activists were supporting Simon or McClintock in the recall. But, Arnold was elected in essentially an open primary. Democrats had a huge hand in selecting Governor Kennedy Lite. The open primary is what put a lot of RINOs in office. The open primary is a threat to conservative voters as it comes up for discussion again.

Find a candidate you can support in the primary election against the incumbent you find objectionable. It is time to stop re-electing legislators who tax and spend Californians into the highest taxed state in the union.

Let me suggest you look to 870am for more intelligent political discussion and less "he who shouts the loudest wins the debate" style shock jock. Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Miller, Dennis Prager, et al actually think before they open their mouths.

There are other outlets for the information you are looking for that won't insult your intelligence, but you can't find them if you are listening to entertainers chasing ratings.

I agree.

John and Ken are not leading a revolt as much as they are entertainers pandering for ratings. If they were leaders they would regularly identify and promote intelligent and qualified candidates for public office. They could help build something better, stronger, and more facile. Yet, their interest seems to only be directed towards tearing down Republicans elected to office.

The only candidate I can remember them endorsing was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Kennedy Lite. They targeted Drier and tried to elect a weak democrat. They want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

The age of big government started in 1993 and continued to 2008. But, it is well past the time where we--the voters--need to act at the ballot box and end the spending. Congress, the White House, and the state house is spending our grandchildren into high taxes.

I think we have a legitimate chance to win a congressional seat for the Republicans.

I'm looking forward to a new attitude in the GOP. An attitude that embraces the populist and shuns the big and brash.

There has always been an internal struggle in the Republican party. The elities in the party who want to protect their wealth--often with the collusion and/or protections of the oligarchy. And, the other side of the party who wants less government, lower taxes, and more personal freedom and the responsibility that goes hand in glove with the freedom.

Obama refers to the second, and mush larger, part of the party as those who want to keep their guns, religion, and antipathy. This is the part of the party that wants to re-make the party into the populist Republican model. Look for the party to become more driven by popularity and less driven by moneyed politicians--the plastic politician--who are so disconnected from reality that they want to spend like drunken sailors with tax dollars.
