Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman has opened a campaign office in Santa Ana, at 4th and Broadway. This is such an insult to our Latino residents. Whitman’s campaign chairman is none other than former Governor Pete “Prop. 187” Wilson!
Fortunately our people are not taking this lying down. Protesters are going to be at the Whitman office today at 4pm. They ask that you bring signs.
Whitman is wasting her time and money. “Latino voters, who have helped to propel California’s leftward political swing over recent years, remain reluctant to embrace Republican candidates as the November general election nears, a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll shows,” according to the L.A. Times.

Art,
Do you know if the following current Democratic leaders have come out in opposition to Meg Whitman or whether any of them plan to be at the demonstration, since they “represent” or want to represent the community?
Loretta Sanchez, US Rep;
Jose Solorio, CA Assembly;
Lou Correa State Senate;
SA Mayor Miguel Pulido;
Alfredo Amezcua, SA Mayoral candidate;
Phu Nguyen CA AD 68th candidate
And any others you can name.
thanks,
ForAverageJoe
I believe everyone on that list is supporting Jerry Brown. Mayor Pulido has actually hosted Brown at his home, for strategy sessions. Assemblyman Solorio gave away “Solorio-Brown” t-shirts at the OC Labor Day event. Sanchez spoke at that event, but I cannot recall if she talked about Whitman.
I think Whitman won’t get much support from local Democrats. But I am sure she will be popular with Santa Ana’s Usual Suspects.
Pedroza, you were not born yet when this idiot Brown nailed the first nail into the California’s coffin so you want him to finished it off?
It always amaze me how stupid choices you Mexicans are making.
Look what a disaster your Obama is……..
You never learn!
So you must suffer more until you will learn.
Fiala,
If you don’t like Brown, vote for Dale Ogden, the Libertarian candidate. Just don’t waste your vote on Meg.
Thanks for the advice Pedroza!
I must because I am Libertarian.
But you will get Brown and you will deserve him.
I have a strange feeling that this fart will do something crazy and I think that it will be The Revenge Of Gerry Brown.
I wanna hear about this “first nail in California’s coffin.” Brown and his Dad were the best governors we’ve had (well, besides Earl Warren and Hiram Johnson.) What is this nail, Stanislav?
First nail – Unionization of State workers
Second nail – Stop Freeway construction from which we have not recovered till to day.

Final nail Green bullshit = $9.07 gallon of gas + about 4,000 freeway toll fee.
So back to the future with progressive socialist and get them horses……. Planet of the Apes, Conan and The Lord of the Rings.
I literally laughed out loud when I read your post Vern. The Browns were “the best governors we’ve had?” For a second I thought that I was reading a satirical piece on the Onion. Governor Moonbeam set a record for days absent from the state, was a staunch opponent of Prop 13 and tax reform generally, mismanaged state finances and had NO leadership skills. He still takes his positions based on popular opinion and electability and doesn’t have anything resembling his own belief set. Other than that, he is great.
Earl Warren was good, but consider the time.
It is interesting that the ONLY Los Angeles Station broadcasting the debate, broke to “JEPORDY” right away.
In other words the debate was a sleeper.
Pat Brown paved the way for folks like Michelle Qinn to move here. I laugh at these guys who induldge (READ THE CUNNINGHAM FAMILY) on our states generosity, but complain about it.
LIBERALJOE!
The list of people you give are the biggest whores when it comes to union’s. The very reason why you cannot run a profitable business in this state unless you are a massive company with a massive budget! The one thing that makes me think that Nutmeg may be a threat to the unions is due to their shear hatred for her. When the Union does not like you, its because you don’t like them and that is a very good reason to vote for Ms Meg!
“Pat Brown paved the way for folks like Michelle Qinn to move here. I laugh at these guys who indulge (READ THE CUNNINGHAM FAMILY) on our states generosity, but complain about it.”
MQ says:
NO ONE PAVED MY WAY EXCEPT ME!
State generosity????lol
You mean, socialists in the people’s house!
I love the way left wing liberals like to take other people’s money to give to their favorite pets!
Anyone who INDULGES with others people hard earned dollar is a loser and should not have been given the CHANCE to indulge no matter who they are or where they come from!
And the name is QUINN with a U!
Michelle,
Sorry for y the ommission, I have a REALLY FAT finger!
Clearly, the “California dream” was made possible by people like Pat and Jerry Brown.
It was destroyed by MOVE IN’S like Ronald Reagan.
I don’t like those who take advantage either Michelle, but, I would rather have society represent what you call “socialism” than what we have seen under George Bush, which is “Facism” (Government in cahoots w/ industry).
Seriously, what is it that you want?
I still believe you are a 245 pound white guy from Morrison Park!
“It was destroyed by MOVE IN’S like Ronald Reagan”……. Hmmmm
The 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975) it was Brown who moved in not Reagan!
I came to California in summer 1970 so I had Reagan 5 years as governor. I started HI-FI/TV repair in Pacific Palisade (RZF Company) and expanded to Santa Monica to (Culver Camera and Sound Service Inc.)
I have story to tell you about my customers like Gregory Peck, Rock Hudson, Bobby Vinton, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8xOMg6ca0U
The life was good under Reagan then.
Bobby Vinton (Polish guy Stanislaw too) sang just for me in his garage studio the Blue Velvet like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM5EpwEzWJk&feature=related to test his home studio which I just installed for him.
I was so stupid then 1970, just 1.5 years from the Old Communist Czechoslovakia, unbelievable! As I was working in his garage studio in 1970, I have noticed golden plated records on the walls. I said to myself: “what a moron plating records with the gold”.
As I was working suddenly something in my head click and I realized what a gold record meant. You must understand that my fluent vocabulary then was about 50 words while now it is about 150 words (major difference).
I started getting embarrassed and have realized that I am talking to a star!
The Blue Velvet was hit in 1964 when I was in Czechoslovakian Air force Academy boot camp listening to pirate Radio Luxembourg jammed by the socialists like comrade Vern and Pedroza so we couldn’t hear the western culture.
http://www.offringa.nl/radioluxembourg.htm
The pirate Radio Luxembourg Should severe as an example to the Pirate Orange Juice Radio.
You do not know what you are talking about Ken!!!!
The life was good under Reagan then.
I would take it any time my stupid friend Ken!
Stanley. Thank you for sharing your life story. As somone who came from a communist country you might give us your opinion of the direction being taken by the USA.
In fact Vern should have you appear as a guest on Juice radio to get your perspective of America.
I do not know if you have noticed Larry, but I am always giving you my opinion on the direction being taken by the USA in my comments.
i.e. Lost of unalienable right to own new property in the Orange County free of servitude by the HOA Bolsheviks, Socialists, Liberals and alleged progressive elements.
i.e. Forcing us into public transpiration by increasing price of gas to $9.07 per gallon and toll road fees exceeding $4,000 annually thus depriving us of the unalienable right to freely move.
i.e. Taking us back to the future of the third world.
Funny, above Meg. is painted green and yesterday it was Brown who was painting the California green accept for the dollars.
Fiala,
Reagan voted to raise taxes and he legalized abortion in CA. Most Republicans don’t know that.
Times were different then. We still had a manufacturing sector in CA. Not so much anymore…
Good!
The abortion is private business NOT the government’s.
Increased Taxes?…… Funny, I had a business and one time up to 14 employees and I have not even noticed any pain from the Taxation. It probably was peanuts!
During Reagen era we had first class infrastructure, California was Golden State, Silicon Vally was booming and Beach Boys were surfing……. therefore any increase in taxes were justified!
Pedroza, have you ever heard: “Taxation without representation”?
That is what we have now thanks to the Mexican socialists which are dominating state government, pants down, banded over to unions, with billions in deficit for their pensions.
Gave me a break Pedroza.
Wow! Racism is alive and well in the OC. Art, how can you possibly use phrases like “our people” and “latino voters . . .remain reluctant to embrace Republicans” and claim to be anything but a racist. Last I checked, we were a country of Americans and the goal of the Civil Rights Movement was to create a color blind society without the barriers of prejudice. Continued use of stereotypes and claims of unified “group thinking” do nothing to advance the noble goals of the civil rights movement. Only in politics can crap like this be thrown around and not be thought of as a hate crime. Two of my kids are hispanic and they certainly do not agree with your racist stereotypes.
Pedroza thinks that he is cute by doing his racism, Geoff. What he does not realizes is that he is pissing off Americans who will eventually put Latinos on the reservation someplace in the Arizona including Pedroza.
Fiala,
Unlike you my amigo, I was born here. So no reservation for me, thanks very much. By 2016 the GOP will be dead and Latino voters will decide the fate of this country. Hope you are still around to watch that come to pass…
“I was born here”…….. you are anchored baby.
Yes! The reservation for you carbon, because I am white and you are brown – basta!
We white people have higher value than the brown one!
Fiala,
Silly man, I am whiter than you are!
Are you flip floping again?…….. cabron?
To be white is determined by the IQ!
Whether you are white or not will be determined based on the DNA test and not based on how much time you spent on the beach.
If you do not pass…… it is reservation in Arizona.
Half of the population in this country do not pay taxes… If you are right Mr. Art, the fate of this country will mirror Santa Ana!
Latino’s don’t have a good track record of running a country… Mexico being a very good example of that!
Looks like fifi-bag needs a mexican to hep with his spelling.
I really never understood why it is assumed that Latino voters vote for “their own”. Honestly, I could care less what color you are or what your ethnicity. Bottom line is, the Latino incumbents have been terrible to their own people and the communities they supposedly serve. For some reason, the Latinos in office think they are entitled to their position just because they’re Latino. WRONG! Loretta Sanchez and her scumbag sister can suck it. Jerry Brown is a douche bag. They are lying cheats. They can all go to hell for all I care. Jerry Brown is a complete disaster and has had many opportunities to “change” things in CA. That scumbag has been a CA politician for many years and is one of the reasons CA is a mess. He had his chance. Meg Whitman is not Pete Wilson. You people embarrass me with your ridiculous protesting. You prey on the innocent uneducated people who don’t know any better by telling them that Meg is going deport them and crush their dreams. Shame on you.
And Michelle, while I agree with most of what you’re saying. I would be very careful when you make comments such as “Latino’s don’t have a good track record of running a country… Mexico being a very good example of that!” . Not every Latino is Mexican. Makes you sound ignorant when you say things like that.
Art, you are delusional. THE GOP won’t be dead.
I think this is an exciting year in politics. Out with the old in with the new. There is a revolution going on in both parties. I’m happy for that because I’m sick of Pelosi and John McCain.
P.S. Art, why do you hate yourself and “your people” so much? What have these clown democrats done for your people? Welfare? You want to keep your people poor, uneducated and dependent on the government? That’s what it sounds like to me. These politicians have done nothing to help your people. They just tell lies so they can keep their job. None of them have had jobs outside of politics. They don’t know what it is like to have to earn their money and work hard for it. Latinos are hard-working. Democrats have nothing in common with them. And, so you know, I am a young professional Latina who was born my immigrants and grew up in the poorest city in the U.S. I went to college and then to graduate school. I did that because I worked hard. My life has been the American dream. People can’t expect to come here and be handed their dream on a silver platter. You have to work for that shit.
Art, people like you are toxic to the Latino community.
