http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/community/tag_rss/AD-33 Cross posted at Calitics Assemblymember Sam Blakeslee (R-San Luis Obispo) is one of the co-stars of our Yacht Ad, and apparently he isn't particularly excited about it. Steve Wiegand notes a "bemused" Blakeslee claiming that the current $8 billion deficit is somehow related to him first voting for, then voting against, closing the sloophole. Well unfortuantely for Asm. Blakeslee, when you vote for it before you voted against it, Rick Jacobs is right-"There's a little John Kerry in there." It isn't up to him to decide when votes are symbolic or substantive, and switching sides on the issue "in a sign of solidarity" with fellow GOPers doesn't really signal a commitment to moving beyond partisanism for the good of the state. In fact, it's the "party solidarity" that's been the problem all along. http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/lucasoconnor/BW9 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/lucasoconnor/BW9/commentary#comments Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:58:51 PDT http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/lucasoconnor/BW9 Lucas O'Connor, Courage Campaign Lucas O'Connor, Courage Campaign 0 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/comment_rss/BW9/
