When I ran against Santa Ana Councilman Carlos Bustamante, in 2008, I did so primarily because the Democrats failed to recruit a challenger against the only Republican on the Santa Ana City Council. I was incredulous when the Liberal OC bloggers (Chris Prevatt and Dan Chmielewski) and the Orange County Employees Association (OCEA) joined forces with Matt Cunningham, of the Republican-promoting Red County blog, as well as GOP consultant Mike Schroeder and various friends of Assemblyman Van Tran to mail out hit pieces against my campaign.
I got over ten thousand votes, but Bustamante won that race.
Well, today I received notice that Bustamante is going to be hosting a fundraiser for Tran, who is running against Lib OC darling Loretta Sanchez. How do you like that? I hope the OCEA and the Liberal OC are happy. I would NEVER support Tran for ANY office, but Bustamante is all in for him.
Here are the event details in case you want to go see this mess for yourself:

Is Bustamonte still the GOP Great Brown Hope aka the Marco Rubio of Orange County?
Well Mr. Pedroza, This just shows you that many Latinos don’t see race,unlike yourself, but see truth and humaness, that we are people, NOT COLOR ! Thank The Lord for good and honest people such as Mr Bustamane.
Martin Luther King would be ashamed of your hypocriticy and fetid lack of WHATEVER. You are the hate monger and the Lord Rebukes you. WE ARE WINNING ! – Vadi
your hypocriticy and fetid lack of WHATEVER
I’m afraid Vadi has NAILED you here bro. Those words will live on.
Vern,
No doubt! I had no idea I was lacking in WHATEVER. Not sure how to even deal with that! 🙂
Well you can sleep at night knowing each of those cats you mentioned are too big of pussys to run for anything.
They just comment like monday morning QB’s!
My girlfriend works at the County of Orange and says Bustamonte makes over $145,000/year plus Full Beni’s! What the heck does this guy do? I think he used to sell Post-It notes before he got the Gov. work. Do the Sup.’s even make that much?
P.S. Thanks Ken for the chuckle. Have not heard anyone call someone a “Pussy” since 7th grade!
Cha Ching,
The dirty truth is that Carlos has always been a government worker. I shudder to think about what sort of pension we will be paying him when he retires…
Yo Art, How about an in-depth Bustamante update. We all remember the water bra dust-up, and the anger when confronted with “alleged” missed child support payments for a child he “allegedly” sired while at Mater Dei (Say it isn’t so! I thought Father Harris was the only sex scandal that happened next to No-hair-a Field. More happens at “the Grotto” than you might imagine! )Can you make a records request to confirm that salary of over $145,000 per year working at the County of Orange? Maybe some of his co-workers can chime in with inside info. If you don’t start looking at this guy now, you will have him running for higher office later. Keep up the good work and writing the interesting articles.

LOL! Bustamante is an empty suit. His own party thinks he is a joke, as do the rest of us…
For those who don’t remember our former Principal, here’s an old video from my days there. You get to see Father Harris at around 3;28 into the vid. I wonder if Gustavo has seen this one.
” More happens at “the Grotto” than you might imagine”
You know what they say at Mater Dei…what happens at the Grotto..stays at the Grotto!
Fr. Harris’ niece is doing 20 hard in Florida for Meth distribution.
Her life fell apart after her uncle was outed for banging her friends. The totally ravaged her. But, they asked for it right Jubal!
