Under Prop. 14, GOP could be shut out

Proposition 14 would be wrong for California. The majority of California voters are registered Democrats. The possibility of the two top vote getters in a primary election being Democrats is a reality. This would result in a runoff between two Democrats, which would be very unfair to conservative thinkers who would normally vote for a Republican.

I know it is popular for folks to say vote for the person, not the party. However I believe that with the skill of political campaign managers that we really don't know the person. Political hype can fool us. We do know that Republicans are more conservative than Democrats. A Republican is more likely to cut taxes, spend less and reduce the size of government. That is something I can believe in.
