No bueno! Santa Ana Councilman David Benavides appears on the home page of the so-called “Hispanic 100,” which is really a front for the Republican Party. Note that GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina also appears on their home page, as does Santa Ana Councilman Carlos Bustamante – the last Republican on the Santa Ana City Council.
Their President is Mario Rodriguez, a GOP consultant who worked in the Bush administration.
Why is Benavides hanging out with these people when he is supposed to be a Democrat?
A few weeks ago Benavides found himself in hot water when he honored Lupe Moreno and a bunch of her fellow Minutemen, after they took over the Santa Ana Independence Day event – during which one of them called Santa Ana residents “wetbacks.” Benavides told me when he appeared on the Orange Juice Blog Radio show that he has no problem working with Moreno. Of course he doesn’t – he appears to be a closeted Republican!

Good for him!
He is smartest Mexican on the council Pedroza, and most likely the next Mayor of Santa Ana in 2012 or sooner.
If David gets the most votes in the November election, which is very possible, would he become the next mayor pro tem?
Art, did you read about the term limits in FTN VLY in the paper, just like I told you, not retroactive. That means who gets elected to Santa Ana’s council in November will sever the first of 3 possible terms.
By then maybe the electorate will learn that term limits is wrong and dump it for the voters choice.
