As much as I want to rip all of these endorsers, some of them are friends of mine and are legitimate conservatives. OC Register reporter Martin Wisckol recently wrote about how the Republicans for a New Majority (RNM) are collecting $25 million in dues annually. They are actively supporting Daucher. I am guessing that many Republican elected officials don’t want to anger the RNM, ergo their support for the RINO Daucher. Conservatives in the OC need to face reality – the RNM now controls the party, for good or for ill. If Daucher is the best they can come up with, that definitely bodes ill for the party.
I also met recently with a prominent Democrat local elected official. He said that Daucher is showing up at all kinds of events, usually sitting next to, or nearby, her Democrat counterparts, Lou Correa and Tom Umberg. Apparently she is also mailing to Democrat households. That seems to indicate that she is already working on her general election strategy.
Daucher’s conservative opponent, Lupe Moreno, will be organizing a precinct walk this Saturday, with details coming soon. Her signs should also be up soon. Moreno continues to be the underdog in the GOP primary for the 34th Senate District, but she has made stopping illegal immigration a key issue in her campaign, and that is the top issue for Republican candidates in the OC. Perhaps the voters will reward her for her tough stance.
This is great news!
Daucher is demonstrating that she is a good candidate with a lot of support.
She has a great conservative cross section of supporters and most of the reputable Republicans in the county.
She even has the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association for crying out loud!
Art should quit his whining and support the good party candidate and the best person for the job.
That person is Lynn Daucher.

Speaking of viruses, has anyone seen what is going on over at Santa Ana city hall?
Victoria Betancourt & Alfonso and Patricia Bustamante got a special deal on an $890,000 beach front condo, a free ride over to Hawaii in developer Michael Harrah’s private lear jet.
The Santa Ana investors, Harrah said, stood to “make hundreds of thousands of dollars” by buying the condos before his Honolulu project was completed and then reselling the units.
“Is that against the law?” asked Harrah.
Guess who appointed Al to the Historic Resources Commission!
None other than Claudia Alvarez.
Stay tuned to this blog for more breaking stories about the rampant corruption here at City Hall.
I’m not suprised to see not too Honerable Carlos Bustamonte on the list..His twin brother is being investigated for a real estate corruption scandal due to his role on a Santa Ana Commission.
Hope they will also look into Bustamante’s other Santa Ana Real Estate Deals. I think he owns some old historic apartments near Bowers Museum. How does a guy working for the county buy apartment buildings and million dollar condos in Hawaii? I don’t get it????? Better yet, ask his Councilman Brother Carlos who also works for the county of Orange. Anyone doing any audits over there? Make sure there’s no $$$ missing. This is not some Pop Warner Football Snack stand cash we are talking about here!!
There are 24 listings for Alfonso over at the OC Assescor office.

A full records search is now underway.
We are also checking Hawaii records as well.
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you very much for helping to bring this to light. It’s caring people like you who are willing to spend thier own time looking at public records who make this Country great! Looks like you may have discovered a mother load of coruption in the Bustamante family. But if city employees are also involved, will the city Atty investigate? The D.A.? Perhaps we will have to wait for the Fed.’s to get involved.
It’s easy to see why Alfonso and his wife sued their French Park neighbors — they were very vested in seeing the One Broadway Plaza project approved.
Do ‘ya think Mike Harrah dangled a “sweet Hawaiian deal” to get them to pimp for him?
What was the final dispostion of that lawsuit?
