John and Ken Show...On an IE Rampage...

John and Ken of the "John and Ken Show" on KFI 640AM talk radio have been on an absolute rampage lately.  It all started with an infamous interview of Assemblyman Anthony Adams up in the High Desert where he basically stated almost enthusiastically that he supported raising taxes.  It would then follow that they would jump all over Assmeblyman Jeff Miller who represents the Corona area as well as parts of Orange County.  Now...Assemblyman Paul Cook is getting blasted because of a post over on a political blog called Red County.

You can find Assemblyman Cook's musings here.

John and Ken have been making the case that the budget and its tax increases were supported in a well orchestrated effort by the Republican Caucus and not just the three that voted for it and they have cited various items to support their case.  Chiefly, a talk show interview done by Anthony Adams on a public radio show.

Cook writes in part that there was no conspiracy to raise taxes.  Well...he has been getting the crap kicked out of him today.  I don't know much about Paul Cook. I do know that he proudly served his country with honor and valor and fought with distinction.  He won a Bronze Star if I am not mistaken.  While I understand the J&K rage...I wihs they would have been a little more tactful in their criticisms.  I am not saying war heroes get a free pass.......but they are a little ad hominem with their attacks today.

Anthony Adams: Better Than Nothing I Guess

The Republican Party voted to reprimand the six Republicans that voted to raise taxes this weekend at their annual doo-dah get together in Sacramento.  The party will no longer fund these candidates in legislative races in 2010.

Better than nothing I guess...but several of them are termed out.  Whoopdeedoo!

If he seeks re-election next year, Assemblyman Anthony Adams, R-Claremont, will have to campaign without the financial assistance of the California Republican Party.

Delegates at the party's twice-annual convention approved a resolution in Sacramento Sunday pledging to deny assistance - financial or otherwise - to Adams and the other five state GOP lawmakers who voted in support of the state budget package, which includes nearly $13 billion in temporary tax hikes.

"Anthony Adams ran as the Republican nominee for Assembly taking a no-new-taxes pledge, and last week voted for the largest tax increase in the history of any state ever," said John Fleischman, the party vice chairman who authored the measure.

Recall Anthony Adams - Lying Snake in the Grass!

Assemblyman Anthony Adams lied to the voters and voted to raise taxes by voting to pass the state budget.  He signed a No New Taxes pledge and then backstabbed the people who elected him.

Talk show hosts John and Ken are on a rampage against Anthony Adams and another organization called Atlas PAC is looking to recall Adams.

Good!  Anthony Adams is a digusting liar.

Political Suicide in the High Desert

Assemblyman Anthony Adams is taking some heat for going on record via the John and Ken Show to tell the people of California why he is now going to support tax increases.

The audo clip...which is very long...is an absolute must listen.  Anthony Adams basically placed the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. 

I was looking for a picture of Anthony Adams via Google Image and stumbled upon some comments by this politician. 

Here is a piece below from the following link from SEPTEMBER of 2008:

California has waited too long to pass a State Budget.  Now, on the eve of what almost all of us pray is an end to this standoff, we will have a budget the Legislature approves and the Governor will sign.  So what is the lesson here?  When Republicans stand united they can do remarkable things.  This year we demonstrated our resolve and held the line against a tax and spend Governor and his willing Democrat accomplices.  We did this by sticking to our principles and sticking together.  To that end, I want to give a quick shout out to our Leader Mike Villines.  Mike has demonstrated what real leadership can accomplish and, along with Dave Cogdill, deserves the lion's share of praise for getting us to the finish line with our heads held high and our principles in place.  Thank you Mike!

Here is a piece below from the following link from AUGUST of 2008:

Assembly Democrats are talking out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to the budget debate.  Last week, Assembly Republicans asked, requested, pleaded and practically begged Democrats to put their budget proposal up for a vote.  We want them articulate the need for $9 billion in higher taxes from California 's hardworking families to pay for their spending addiction.

I will offer this piece of advice to my Democrat colleagues:  put your budget up for a vote and tell Californians why you want to take more of their money.  We're waiting...

Listen to the clip.  Adams admits to signing a "NO NEW TAXES" pledge.  Read my lips...were waiting.
