What do the Placer County Democrats Know That we Don't?

Blogs are sometimes a very informative medium.
Recently, we uncovered a blog entry by a young man who wanted to run for Placer Democrat Central Committee. He sounds like he was getting his inspiration from Bob Mulholland when he wrote.
The Irony is that he did not answer the bell to run as the Placer elections website did not show his name on the results.

The answer to the above question is found in the middle of his rant:
We need a voice in Placer County that is willing to stand up to conservative extremist County Supervisors like Kirk Uhler and Bruce Kranz, who see Placer County as the next Los Angeles. We need a person to speak up when Assemblyman Ted Gaines tries to push outgoing Congressman John Doolittle's agenda of corruption and cronyism on us. In short, we need to send the message that this county belongs to all of us, not just special interests and private developers.
1. He must have been asleep when Gaines pulled an exploratory committee against Doolittle.
2. Why is it that only Kranz and Uhler get the label - I thought Weygandt and Holmes are Republicans, too?
3. The Democrats that read this blog must think attacks they agree with are OK and the ones they disagree with are "Smears that everyone are tired of".
4. Some of the Republicans that read this blog may find the above comments from a Democrat activist informative as to how the other side perceives our Supervisors. (As in who gets the label and who does not...)
I would like to thank the Placer Democrat Party for providing a valuable public service - reminding us all of why Uhler and Kranz deserve our support.
Women's right to vote didn't exist until they fought for it. Blacks rights for equality didn't happen until...
I read this a long long time ago, and the guy who wrote it isn't on the ballot. He wrote a really good piece, even if you disagree with some of his positions. I would imagine he included Kranz and Uhler because they endorsed Doolittle and NOT Weygandt and Holmes because they didn't publicly support?
Maybe he decided to join one of the military services. Who knows.
Back in my generation, military service on one's resume was essential to aspire to public office. Nowadays, that step is seen to be for dumba--s...
Maybe the young man is a dumba--
3:8 - thanks for the insight, it confirms what I thought all along.
Lee - you have a great sense of humor...
Rolling out the "Yellow Elephant" argument again, eh? I have seen you allude to it in this and other threads...
Folks - that is the argument that your opinion is not valid unless you served in the military - or you are a hypocrite for supporting the war in Iraq unless you served or your child(red) are there.
That argument is as ridiculous as saying you can't support Gay marriage unless you are in a homosexual relationship. Maybe some of the readers are, who knows...
So, it is time to put on the pink / rainbow and march down Douglas Blvd... when I see the pictures, I will go to the recruiting station.
C'est la vie...
