"PORcA. There is no substitute."

Apparently, Senor Cruz Bustamante is a member of another spurious organization with a provocative slogan. PORcA is a club that excludes all but the most profligate tax and spenders in the California Democratic Party who are also willing to take a breather from the nation's campaign finance laws.

The acronym, PORcA, in case you are wondering, stands for Obnoxious Politicos Rearranging el Campaign Accounts (PORcA). Remember, in Spanish everything is backwards. Their slogan is: "For the Special Interests Everything, for the Taxpayers Nothing". And Cruz isn't just a member of PORcA, he's their Lieutenant Governor.
He has also proven himself to be one of the most talented in the club at corrupting existing campaign finance laws. Consider what he has achieved with his $2 million dollar contribution from Tribal Indian. Because of the contribution limit imposed on Recall candidates is $21,200, Cruz figured out a way to take that $2 million dollars and deposit it into an old campaign account (not subject to the $21,200 limit) and then break it up into 94 $21,200. individual contributions and deposit the money into his Recall account. See?
This level of political corruption prowess hasn't been demonstrated in this state since former Vice-President Albert Gore accidentally walked away with bags of campaign cash after eating sushi at a Buddhist Temple in Hacienda Heights. But not to worry, Cruz is a friend of the Tribal Indians and they are only demonstrating their genuine love and affection for BustaMEChA.
After all, Cruz used to hang with his the poor Tribal Indians when they were still sleeping in their cars and all the U.S. government allowed them to do was play tedious games of Old-Maid. But look at them now, sitting pretty, feeling all flush and doling out millions dollars to short (intellectually speaking), fat (financially speaking) politicos (figuratively speaking) who promise them nothing in return except gratitude.
But Cruz seems to inspire selfless generosity from all walks of life. Consider the $700,000 "donation" he received from 13,000 of his closest friends who just happen to belong to a union called: "Professional Engineers in California Government". These folks aren't interested in anything from Cruz except maybe his guarded family recipe for homemade chorizo. Cruz couldn't possibly be interested in the fact that his good friends have been actively lobbying for generous pay-raises and are also adamantly opposed to the state shifting engineering work to the private-sector.
No, Cruz is just using the money from his good friends to even the political playing field. As soon as he is elected, he is going to send all of them a nice thank you card and that will be the end of it. And th-th-th that's all f-f-folks!
"PORcA. There is no substitute."
Liberals/Leftists really do know how to do math! But when trying to hold on to power via buying votes, their brains turn to mush to the point of being unable to see the $38 billion dollar deficit as ludicrous.
