Republican Assemblyman Jeff Miller’s campaign website features the headline “Conservative Republican for Assembly.” However, Miller is not much of refused to vote to remove RINO GOP Assembly Leader Mike Villines, even though Villines supported our recent new state budget and tax increase. Miller is a Whip for the GOP Assembly members. But it sounds like Villines has him whipped.
And so now John and Ken, of KFI, have announced an effort to recall Miller, in effect they are making him their political human sacrifice of 2009.
Our former blogger, Chris Emami, wrote that “According to campaign finance reports, Miller has $975 cash on hand in his 2008 account and is in debt $101,878 from his 2008 race, as of December 31, 2008. His 2010 account is in debt by $2,027 with no cash on hand, again as of December 31, 2008.”
It certainly sounds like Miller can be taken out.
You might recall that Miller had to beat Neil Blais in the primary before he got to the Assembly. Blais hails from Rancho Santa Margarita. Miller is from Corona. Most of the voters in his district are in Orange County, but they got stuck with a legislator from the Inland Empire – and now it has turned out that he is nothing more than a toady for Villines, who voted to raise our taxes.
So who endorsed Miller when he ran against Blais? Click here to read that sorry list of hack Republicans. The list includes Assemblyman Anthony Adams, who voted for the tax increase; disgraced former San Bernardino County Assessor Bill Postmus, whose career ended amidst allegations of homosexuality and meth use; lame Mission Viejo Council Members Frank Ury and John Paul Ledesma; and Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle.
But to be fair, Blais had some awful endorsements too, including Assemblyman Jim Silva; Mike Schroeder; and Assemblyman Van Tran.
The Recall Jeff Miller campaign has its own blog, and a Facebook page.
Should Miller be recalled? I am not sure he ever should have been elected in the first place!
Art. Your last sentence says it all.
I sure never voted for him! why would you ever want to ‘take him out’ anyway? He would make a lousy date. and there is ‘no way’ you wouldn’t be stuck with the bill!
Americans are tired of political games and self interested politicians. We can’t afford it anymore. Every American needs to hold their political constituents accountable, locally, state wide and nationally. Jeff Miller is not the only one whose position is on the line. Citizens in Mission Viejo are recalling Council Member Lance MacLean for similar broken promises, irresponsible spending, and favors to special interests.
This guy has to go along with all the rest of them up there. We need to get them all out and start all over. We are so far in the red we will never see the black ink because of the stupid spending. I think that they all should take a 75% cut until they get back to the black ink. Leavining them 25% so they can by lunch at Jack the Box with all the rest of the clown’s.
When I saw the libertarian party ad on the sidebar… told me all I needed to know about this blog.
