The California Republican Party phone bank called me yesterday and asked me to donate $75 to $100 (whatever I was comfortable with) to help the republicans win this November in California.

I asked - Well, what are the republican's plans to help California?

Answer: To register 1.5 million republicans.

Me: Oh, well what are the plans after that, I mean how does that help the state?

Answer: Well... uh.... Well, I am sure you can agree that we share similar values like smaller government...

Me: Well, I agree with that, but I am not sure Sacramento republicans do - I mean, state revenues just went up, but so did the budget to match it, and these bonds to pay it off, well...

Answer: Click...dial tone...

Yep - I asked, I guess, One too many questions for my money.

I guess they thought I was just a lackey and that I would send them money based on our common goals. Once they can tell me what those might be, I'll consider it.

In the meantime, I encourage you to ask questions.
