Stand up to the OC GOP machine on Monday, July 31
As our readers know, the OC GOP machine pulled a fast one on Monday night at their Central Committee meeting. Lobbyist/consultant Adam Probolsky pulled two San Clemente council members from the list of local non-partisan officer holders seeking the endorsement of the party, even though Probolsky is just an alternate.
Probolsky told Tim Whitacre that he did this because he works for a building association that is upset with the council members, Joe Anderson and Mayor Wayne Eggleston, because they oppose home owners who want to obscure their neighbor’s views by building second and third stories onto their homes. I believe that it is also possible that Probolsky, who worked for the recent OC Sheriff Mike Carona campaign, was also seeking to get revenge against these council members because they supported Carona’s top opponent, Lt. Bill Hunt.
Tim Whitacre wrote that none of the OC GOP Central Committee members from San Clemente voted to pull Anderson and Eggleston. Moreover, the OC GOP ex-oficio who appointed Probolsky, Mark Weyland, did not ask the committee to pull these two councilmembers. Probolsky took that upon himself.
I urge OC GOP Central Committee members and alternates to attend the OC GOP Endorsement Committee meeting next Monday night, July 31, at 5:30 pm, at the party office in Orange, located at 1800 W. Katella Ave, Suite 210. Those pulled off the list must appear at the meeting to argue their case. Here is the information I received from Erik Weigand, the OC GOP Executive Director, earlier today:
We encourage those that were removed off the consent list to attend this meeting to openly discuss your accomplishments and qualifications to the committee. There will be no consideration whatsoever for an absent candidate.
Each candidate is invited to bring any materials necessary to this meeting. If a candidate wishes to email their materials, they may do so and it will be distributed prior to the meeting.
Here are the complete lists of those who were pulled from the endorsement list:
CITY COUNCIL: PULLED REQUEST
Patricia Kelley
Art:
I’ll be arriving in my black helicopter along with a security detail of Men In Black. I hope you and Tim behavve yourselves, otherwise I’ll have them wipe your memories.
THERE IS A CHANGE TO THE MEETING DATE!
It will now be on JULY 31st instead of July 24th. Please make a note of it.
I did request that the Office Manager at GOP Headquarters send out an e-mail blast ASAP with receipt acknowledgement on the e-mails.
THE MEETING DATE IS CHANGED TO JULY 31ST!
Poor Jubal. He’s drank so much kool-aid that he’s drain bamaged!
Art,
From Machiavelli you know that politics are about the power and that everything gos to maintain that power!
Therefore Art, if you want to”Stand up to the OC GOP machine on Monday” you must forget about everything else except [how to increase your personal power]
Everything else including the issue of Adam Probolsky, Joe Anderson, Wayne Eggleston is irrelevant on Monday.
So adjust your strategy accordingly if you want to be in control of GOP MACHINE one day.
Tim,
The meeting has been moved to an undisclosed location where many levers are pulled. Knock once, then twice on the door and saw, “The little car is red”. That will get you in.
Tim,
I meant to type “say” not “saw” oh no the’ve taken control of my mind. Help Art Help Art.
Ever since Scott Baugh became chairman the central committee has become a haven for self dealing. If you are a local candidate looking for a consultant you are giving probolskys name or steve sheldons name. At least Tom Fuentes attemped to run a committee designed to benefit all Republicans and not just the chosen few. Baugh is a crook. Where is Mike Capizzi when you need him!
Ttim:
Rest assured, the Bilderbegers will be informed about your insolence!
Jubal:
That was pretty funny!
Tim
Didn’t Adam pull another name too?
“The Trilateral Commission”
Which is composed of The Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys, the Rothchilds, and Sheriff Corona.
We all hate the Sheriff what with his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face.
Oh, your gonna give me $396,000 of Prop 172 funds, oooooh!
Thomas. I believe you are referring to the secret society within the “Trilateral Commission” known as The Pentavirate. Carona only recently replaced Colonel Sanders.
Amazing how Jubal immediately scoffs at all such. I can only conclude it must be true.

OH?
I must have missed the announcement.
I have been very busy with my Garth Brooks juice diet.
Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee beady eye! And that smug look on his face, Just by the look on his face you could hear him saying, “Oh, you’re gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!”
I sent this into another well known Blog so this is my second entry into the blog world. It is as relevant now and it was on the other blog….

Sorry this is late in the process but…
First point, it is funny to see how comments on this issue (which includes a comment on “Shorecliffs”) turns into an attack on honor, integrity, left and right, liberal and or conservative and blah de blah…
It is a good segway into how Shorecliffs has evloved. It started with a minorty opinion and after 3 years of active lobbying it is now the bare (61%) majority who want view protection. It started with mansionization and it is now view protection and your “ethical” council members plan to enact the first (yes the first) administrative view protection ordinace in CA. And get this, parallel to that process Mayor Eggleston is introducing a change to the city general plan to stop anyone else asking for that same view protection. Sorry but that does not sound very republican now does it.
Tim, since you seem to be a respected member of the OC Blog (this is my first visit) you should take the time and trouble to get your facts right.
Adam Problosky has not been hired by a group of developers. He has been hired by a small group homeowners (I am one of them) to help them with an upcoming ballot to restore their property rights and get some responsible government in San Clemente. Not just on Shorecliffs but many issues. And assuming that you do not do your research many of us who have hired Adam are not effected by the view protection ordinance – we are opposing it because of the way Council Members Anderson, Ritschel and Eggleston have handled themselves these past 2 years. For the record in my attempt to stop you attacking us (the people who hired Adam)on the endorsement issue. His stand on Eggleston and Anderson (and Ritschel if she had decided to run) was of his own conscience and not ours. We do however support it 100% as they need to be served notice that view protection is not a right and never has been and to lack the conviction to put it to the city in a ballot (hence the need for us to do a referendum) and to also have the nerve to try and make sure that the rest of the city cannot even ask for it should cost them their seats.
You do not have time to listen to example after example on their “ethics” but if you had I would be glad to oblige.
Mayor Eggleston is out of control and his ego is negatively affecting this city on more issues than just Shorecliffs. Please feel free to ignore my opinion but at least take the time to solcit an opinion from council members Knoblock and Dahl who “really” are upstanding republicans.
Mr. Devore – please reconsider your endorsement of Lori as she showed a serious lack of back bone at the recent planning commission meeting where she stated that she is for property rights and then voted to continue a process to remove our property rights and all because the view protection group had more speakers in council chambers!!! Our group plan to do all we can to oppose her election as we do not want more of the same from our city council. If you are for property rights then back up your statements with conviction.
Thank you all for your time today. And Semper Fi back at you from a Former Royal Marine…
SORRY BLOGGER ROOKIE I ACCIDENTLY SUBMITTED BEFORE I REGISTERED 🙂
Hi there – this is my second foray into the “Blogging” world. And being lazy I just wanted to cut and paste a response to a previous comment that was made regarding Shorecliffs and the removal of the GOP endorsement for Wayne Eggleston and Joe Anderson. The comments above are as valid now as they were before especially when tonight they plan to vote YES on view protection for 165 willing homes owners and on the same agenda vote to restrict the other 26000 homeowners in San Clemente from asking for the same consideration.
Personally if he (Wayne) wants to do that I am all for it but he should have done it before trying to provide view protection to the Shorecliffs few at the exspense of the tax paying many.
