One of the worst RINOs there is. Riordan is a gold-plated idiot, a typical rich dimwit who isn't personally affected by all the enormous damage the radicals do to (most of) society. Maybe that's why people like Riordan have no problem endorsing radicals ... they don't even know what they are.

Bill Simon took a lot of grief, much of it deserved, after his bumbling campaign against Gray Davi$ in 2002. But he sure performed a public service by beating the krapp out of Riordan in the '02 primary. Otherwise, this jerk might have been governor, and the GOP would have been in a state of civil war ... or utter demoralization.

Welcome to New New Mexico.

I hope it's not David Dinkins, the Second, but history is not encouraging. Surprises with cronyism, racism and nepotism are not politically correct.

THIS is SCARY. 31% white -- whites are in a serious minority.

I believe political minorities are leaving gerrymandered districts, and that they're doing so with increasing frequency. Currently, so-called red states are getting a lock on Congress, IMHO.

Villa is a good PR man. He fits in with the Hollywood hype machine. Personally, I don't care who is mayor. L.A. needs and will soon have a great spiritual awakening, and it will not only overwhelm the city, it will overwhelm the state, the country, and the the world.

Isaiah 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

YOu been to L.A. lately? And not the valley or pasadena, I mean down in the pit we call L.A? It is little more then a war zone at night. And a craphole during the day.
Don't know why anyone would want to run this nasty place.

"I will never forget where I came from. And I will always believe in the people of Los Angeles," he said Tuesday night."

The article never told us where he came from, but we were told the ethnic/race percentages.

Considering the recent L.A., Mexico billboard and the majority of Mexicans in L.A. .... well, it's not too difficult to figure this one out.

After Klamath, if I survive, I'll head south.

I'll bite, what's the problem with this? Are whites supposed to be guaranteed a majority status or something? Does too much melanin make you break out or something? What's the deal here?

Wow, a whole 350,000 voters. I dunno what the population of the applicable voting area but that sure does sound like a sad number to me.

According to the 2000 census the city of Los Angeles has a population of 3,694,820 people. If let's say 50% are possible voters that's a voter turn out of 20%.

Man your right that seems like a very small turnout indeed.

There are Latinos in Los Angeles who are US citizens? Gee, I thought that was just a quaint old custom! How 20th century!

Welcome to the future. Expect this to spread across the entire southwest.

You can thank two decades worth of treasnous Amerikan political and business "leaders".
