How frustrating must it be to live in Irvine if you are a hack Republican? Year after year Larry Agran finds a way to punk his GOP adversaries – and it is usually not close.
Now Red Klownty blogger Allan Bartlett is wondering if his red-faced colleagues will win a council seat or two next year, in Irvine. I don’t think so Allan!
Allan waxed poetic in a recent post about some Republican gal named “Megan Barth,” that he thinks can be a good GOP candidate for Irvine Mayor. Who the heck is “Megan Barth?” There is the problem Allan – she is UNKNOWN.
Now Allan is impressed that Ms. Barth spoke at the Corona John and Ken rally. That’s great Allan. I am sure there were what, five Irvine voters there? And didn’t John and Ken say, on air, that the Red Klownty blog is a blog for Republican “kool-aid drinkers?”
Allan goes on to name Irvine Republicans that he thinks can win Council seats in Irvine:
Planning Commissioner David Sparks, former Mayoral candidate John Duong, local activist Lynn Schott, Lincoln Club Member and current Finance Commission Member Jeffrey Lalloway, recent OC McCain coordinator Kevin Muldoon, Community Services Commissioner Eric Johnson.
That looks like a big list of losing candidates! Didn’t Obama win Irvine? What is some McCain dude going to do there but lose? And John Duong? ROFLMAO!!!
C’mon Allan. None of your red-faced pals are going to take out Agran. And the fact that Christina Shea is going to term out means that Agran will find a Democrat to replace her.
I am no fan of Agran – but he knows how to run his city and he has a powerful grip on the local politics in his town. These loser Republicans have no shot to take him out – and everyone except Allan and his fellow Red Klownty bozo bloggers knows it.
Only an amateur would predict an election 17 months out.
Good Morning Don,
Do you know much about Irvine politics or are you just commenting in general?
Thanks for stopping by OJ!
Don,
Don’t be too hard on Allan. He is just trying to raise the spirits of his fellow lame Republicans.
The historical record shows us that the goofy Irvine Republicans can’t beat Agran’s machine. Why would that change 17 months hence?
But Allan can dream of victory in the meantime. It beats having to deal with the reality that his party is dying.
I am a Republican and I am going to run in Santa Ana. Read all the latest updates of my campaign at: http://twitter.com/ElGordoBot
alas, do not write off larry agran as being too powerful. I think the election dynamic is going to be just right for a dark horse candidate to swoop in. My friend who is nameless now (untill next april) is planning on unseating Agran.
*”Desperate Housewives” you say? Megan Barth…
never heard of her…but that goes for Beth Krom
too! Christina Shea is the only candidate in
Irvine and the only viable choice. But she would
never get the money to challenge Campbell for
his seat.
If a nationally unknown community organizer and junior Senator with as much executive experience as my dog can become President of the U.S., I don’t see why someone like Megan Barth couldn’t become mayor of Irvine. She organized the Orange County Tea Party, has been in the business world for many years, and understands politics and the economy better than most pinheads in political office today. I say give her a shot!
Charles,
Really? What has she actually done for the community? Is Kang termed out this time around?
She’s got some huge shoes to fill.
speaking of unknowns, who the heck was good ole Barak a year ago???
I’d much rather see a young up-and-comer take office than the same old retreads that get nothing accomplished (other than getting themselves re-elected!) It’s time for new ideas, new blood and new policies
It’s time for sweeping change across the board, and despite all of the national pre-election rhetoric, I’m sure not seeing “change” other than what is going to be left for our grandchildren
