Bruce McPherson Chosen as Secretary of State

Thank goodness governor Schwarzenegger did the right thing and selected Bruce McPherson, a Republican candidate, to fill the position of Secretary of State that is being vacated by a disgraced Kevin Shelley.

On the ten o'clock news on KTVU, the Democraps in Sacramento even said as much that they would have preferred a Democratic candidate be put in position so that they could regain control of that seat when it is time for elections. How much more blatant could they be in their motives and intentions for the position of Secretary of State?

Regardless, most people agree that McPherson is an agreeable person who is qualified and capable. Also, in an unusual sign of approval, even state senate pro tem Don Perata gave his nod to McPherson's selection.

Given that the Democraps want that seat so badly, I'm glad that their hopes were dashed when Schwarzenegger chose McPherson. He did the right thing that made the most sense: Get somebody in there who will do what's right and do the job well. All I can say to the Democraps is this: You had your chance, but you blew it. Shelley has nobody to blame but himself for his downfall.

Remember my motto from the start of my blog? No? Here it is again as a refresher:

"Trust is earned by many deeds, and lost by only one." - Dr. Sun Yat Sen

In Shelley's case, he didn't lose the trust just once but MANY times! His abuse of his staff, misappropriating federal funds and other shenanigans while in office is inexcusable. And, being that he's a product of the liberal San Francisco Board of Stupidvisors, I am not surprised that he acted in his own self-interest and still didn't even own up to the errors of his ways when he held his resignation press conference.

So, in closing...WAY TO GO GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER!
