CA Budget Passes: Maldonado Caves for Open Primaries

It’s a disaster for California and for the Republican Party. Abel Maldonado’s decision to switch sides for his own interest leaves California’s Republican voters in the dust. What’s the point of voting for  Republicans when they’ll vote like Democrats?

Before his aye vote Maldonado invoked Abraham Lincoln as a President who made hard decisions, I guess 100 years is long enough for people to forget who Lincoln really was and to start confusing him with Obama. There is no question, the hard vote on this budget was a no vote, where legislators would have to balance our budget and keep our state running with the money we have. The easy vote was using hard working Californians as the Legislature’s personal ATM machine, and screwing our state into the ground while making friends with the union tools that hold majority power.
