Thanks!  I appreciate your support.  This has been a great week for my campaign.  It is great to see Bustamante and his few friends sweating it...</description>

		<description>If Al Franken can win a Senate seat with all his years of comedic comments taken deep out of context, I&#039;d say that&#039;s telling. Voters will vote for the better of two candidates, and can easily tune out the white noise.

Art, you got my vote already. I early voted at Main Place last week!</description>

		<description>F and E Fan,

True.  But I have already stated previously that I did not intend to run for office.  However, when no one credible emerged to take on Bustamante I decided to do it.  The Democrats never did come up with a candidate, so I put my neck in the noose.  I believe very strongly that Bustamante has been bad for the people of Santa Ana.  Let&#039;s see if the voters agree.</description>

		<description>A wise young blogger once shared these two point that I try to keep in mind.
1.  Nothing on the internet is completely anonymous.
2.  The internet never forgets.</description>

		<description>Vern,

Right. Amusement that Busty would consider the quotes used serious statements, whereas SMS considers them &quot;sarcastic&quot;. And I disagree that they&#039;re sarcastic.</description>

		<description>Hey usually-astute anon, I think you are misreading Art&#039;s and Sarah&#039;s tone here.  There is no outrage, shock or complaint of unfairness here.  Just amusement.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And how could a candidate for public office POSSIBLY conceive that what he or she has written/said/advocated for in the past would NOT be an issue? That strikes me as incredibly naive.&lt;/i&gt;

Maybe you should read my last comment again. We knew. We didn&#039;t care. The quotes were taken out of context as we expected them to be. It&#039;s classic Jubal. End of story.

		<description>SMS,

I never said Art was serious 100% of the time. And Art&#039;s quote regarding Democrats cheating on their wives is completely serious, given his opinion of Bill Clinton.

		<description>&#039;&lt;i&gt;Busty is an empty suit. But Art HAD to know some of what he’s written on this blog could be used against him.&lt;/i&gt;&#039;

He did, and frankly, we didn&#039;t see it as an issue. We still don&#039;t. If this is all Busty can do against Art, well, he deserves to lose.

And to answer your question, off the top of my head, the quote about Democrats cheating on their wives was a perfect example of something sarcastic, so no, I don&#039;t think Art is 100% serious all the time. Are you?

Besides, Busty still has the the lingerie dangling from his ear from the water bra comment. As I&#039;m so fond of saying, &#039;Pot, meet kettle!&#039; This election is going to boil down to whether or not people think Santa Ana needs improvement and whether or not they want developers who advocate gentrification to handle those improvements. That&#039;s exactly how we wanted it, and now that&#039;s how it is if this is all they got.

		<description>SMS,

Granted, these quotes are taken out of a larger context, but can you point out a single one where Art was NOT serious about what he said?

I mean, really, would it be legitimate for Busty to claim &quot;I was just joking&quot; or &quot;this is simply a piece of sarcasm, lighten up&quot;?

		<description>OK. I just read the back. Nice cross-section of cherry-picked quotes. Haven&#039;t they ever heard of &#039;sarcasm?&#039; Geez.

And what&#039;s this about &#039;legalizing hard-core drugs?&#039; Define hardcore drug. Marijuana? Puh-leeze.

Flowerszzz -

I was referring to the poll on our right sidebar.
