Oilly Taintz running for CA GOP SOS position, operatives say there’s a chance she could win.

GOP bad dream: Birther on ticket

California Republicans optimistic about their prospects in November could find themselves with a bit of a problem after the votes are counted in Tuesday’s primaries - a statewide ticket with the so-called “Birther Queen” as one of their candidates.

Orly Taitz is an Israeli émigré who has spent the last two years filing lawsuits challenging President Barack Obama’s right to be president on the grounds that he was born in Kenya. In the process, she has earned herself $20,000 in court fines.

Now she’s running for the GOP nomination for secretary of state, and with her establishment-backed primary opponent mounting a less-than-stellar campaign against her, operatives say there’s a chance she could win.

“It’d be a disaster for the Republican party,” says James Lacy, a conservative GOP operative in the state. “ Can you imagine if Meg Whitman and Abel Maldonado—both of whom might have a chance to win in November—had to run with Orly Taitz as secretary of state, who would make her cockamamie issues about Obama’s birth certificate problems at the forefront of her activities?”

:evilgrin:

They can disavow her, make themselves appear more moderate, and appeal the middle that they need to hold onto in order to win.

Remember Katherine Harris or Ken Blackwell?

California Republicans have become very radical and if Taitz did manage to win, it would mean the radicals are calling the shots. Besides that, Whitman can't run as a moderate after the primary where she defined herself as right-wing conservative, a flip-flop would cause her nothing but problems.

I'm pretty sure there's a photo of the Mother Ship beaming her sorry ass down to the planet. A similar ship dumped Ann Coulter off earlier.

Hey Aliens: WE DON'T WANT YOUR DEFECTIVES!

:rofl:

she was born in Moldovia, emigrated to Israel and then to the US. She got her US citizenship by marrying an American.

and a congenital liar with ziPPo cred and even less honor, hailing from one of them there non-American furrign countries places sites locations hOmElaNd. The rEpubliCONs will just be luvin them some lap up of her crap.

She's done a very good job and is quite popular.

Oily Taintz would only guarantee that Bowen wins with a wider margin in CA.

So, with that, go Oily Taintz! :D

I say good luck Oilly! fits in perfect with the republican ticket. ;)
