Orange County Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez - Friend of MeChA.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., said she was never a member but supported the organization
She would never had been elected under the Orange Curtain. Her election with Dornan was littered with fraud.
The Orange Curtain is retreating south my friend. I do pray the good people of OC can turn it around but I'm afraid Mexico has you outnumbered.
Loretta Sanchez is the result of a gerrymandered district drawn up by the Dems in Sacramento with the help of the spineless GOP that wanted safe districts for themselves.
Note the percentages of the vote by OC on these props... among the highest percentages (if not THE highest) voting the "right" way of ANY county in the state.
Unfortunately, Prop 77 failed... so we'll be stuck with Sanchez or someone of her ilk in that district forever.
Exactly. Sadly they haven't nor will they learn their lesson until it's too late. Plan on 2008 being probably a Hillary presidency. How could this nation fall so low?
As for the Inland Empire, its always been something of a dump. In the past, it was white trash and biker gangs, now you have black and brown trash moving out of LA. You have some nice areas, but I would avoid Riverside and San Berdoo like the plague.
Thanks to gerrymandering, Florida's congressional delegation is overwhelmingly Republican. The key is to get higher turnout for state assembly and senate races.
"but I would avoid Riverside and San Berdoo like the plague."
Have you looked at Anaheim/Fullerton lately west of 57? I helped move a friend before leaving the state in 2003 and it was completely Hispanic.
Housing prices are not an indicator of lack of illegals. San Bernardino and Riverside have the highest housing price increases of the area. They are increasing because Hispanics buy in numbers and are willing use those creative loans more often to buy more.
Good luck Cali Republicans.
Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Irvine, etc. are all ritzier than they were in the past. Orange County has priced many people out of the market so they go to the hellholes that are Riverside and San Berdoo, to say nothing of the Antelope Valley.
BTW: Last time I was in Phoenix, I saw plenty of illegal aliens there. They go where the work is I guess.
"Uh, Orange County is one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S. "
Orange County declared bankruptcy in the 1990's.
2. That was after the early 90s economic bust. The county has recovered.
The only people who bash Orange County are those who can't afford to live there, so they move to Riverside, Arizona, or Utah.
You left out Oregon.
Well,
I'm on the coast, and I certainly voted. I should've known I was wasting my time when I saw all the "Kerry Edwards 2004" stickers in the parking lot. Unfortunately, the few Republicans on the coast can only help the many republicans inland IF THEY TOO GET OUT AND VOTE .

1. Overspending by government is nothing new.

Orange County declared bankruptcy in 1994 as a result of bad investments and not as a result of excessive spending.
The point still remains, the OC is a rather affluent place, outside of the areas with large concentrations of rentals.
