When it comes to Rosie Avila one hardly knows where to start. But her new campaign website does offer a good look at all her overall nuttiness. The most ironic part of her site is the picture above, where Rosie has surrounded herself with children who appear to be immigrants. But how does Rosie REALLY feel about immigrants? Here is what she states on her website:
We must put the American people’s interests first – open borders are part of the plan for a North American Union that would erase our borders entirely and destroy our sovereignty.
Rosie is running against Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez in the 47th Congressional District. Good luck with that Rosie! It sounds like a “No Se Puede” Special…
Sanchez is not a great Congressional Representative by any stretch. I can’t think of anything she has actually accomplished in Congress, besides getting her sister elected to a district in Whittier. And she still tries to act like a teenager in public. She is utterly lacking in the sort of gravitas we have come to expect from other Democrats in the Legislature, such as Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.
But Loretta won’t have any trouble taking out Rosie, who is following in the tradition of last year’s Mexican hating OC GOP candidate, Tan Nguyen (who ironically appointed Rosie as his alternate on the OC GOP Central Committee – he must be so proud of her!).
Be sure to take a look at Rosie’s endorsements – they are a Who’s Who of Republicans who hate Mexicans, including the Queen of the Mexican Haters, Mimi Walters.
Memo to the OC GOP – you are not going to beat Sanchez as long as you keep running Talibani Mexican haters against her! I do think that in two years Supervisor Janet Nguyen could really give Sanchez a run for the money, especially since Nguyen would not run as a knuckle-dragging Talibani Republican. But most likely termed out Assemblyman Van Tran, who is as much a Mexican hater as his boy Tan, will be the next OC GOP candidate to lose to Sanchez. She may be a bit of a joke, but she sure knows how to take out her GOP opponents.
There are rumblings about amnesty for those already living and working in this country sure, and even though I’m worried about the North American Union too, I have to ask: since when do we have an open border policy? Rosie: no se puede, indeed.

Janet Nguyen for Congress? Would she need a legal defense fund to run for Congress? Art put down the crack pipe. Loretta Sanchez is in tune with her district, works harder and brings back far more money than any of those other cretins in the OC, and wins 60 40 everytime. Your Janyism while well thought out and cogent vis a vis the Trannies is absolutely loony when you discuss Loretta and Janet. There is a huge difference in knocking out dumb dumb Dina and knocking off Loretta. Janet’s ambitious ass would get beat so bad if she tried for the brass ring. Art your DTS status is wearing thin if you still harbor dreams of a GOP controlled Congressional Seat in central OC. Aint happening home slice. Loretta is too smart and too good for the district for it to happen. Not gonna, Not gonna, so put down that crack pipe my friend and go after Van or some other idiot because you all can’t touch Loretta Sanchez.
Heard a story the other day about Rosie that I found shocking. Rosie showed up at the annual retirement dinner for district teachers held several weeks ago. Recognized a retiring teacher that she knew from a previous encounter. During the dinner approached her and told her she was running for Congress and asked her to contribute to her campaign. My friend was shocked and appalled at this distasteful behavior. Rosie appears just as shameful as the rest of the board members.
#2,
Oh I know she works hard, but she could do so much more! If only she would publicly oppose the crap that Pulido and his Clowncil are always up to. Then again even Janet won’t go there.
Good point though about the Reeps getting back a seat. I quit their party for several reasons and I don’t see them improving on immigration or on social issues (ie. dropping their Talibani agenda). However don’t forget that Janet is NOT a crazy on those issues. Let me put this another way – she is no “Screaming” Mimi Walters.
Lastly, I do wish Loretta would take her job more seriously in terms of her public behavior. If she truly wants to be our next Governor she needs to behave more professionally and act the part.
#2,
I forgot to mention that for the first time in my life I will be voting for Loretta this November. So there!
I am stunned she is still using that particular picture. I remember the incident where that picture took place, in 2004 during her re-election campaign. It was at an official school function at Davis Elementary School to honor students who were in a program that was the recipient of a grant. Rosie Avila went over to several children(the ones seen above) and asked if they would like to take a picture with a leader of their schools(her). Of course they said yes and an ally of Rosie’s snapped the picture.
The parents of one child in the picture was not a fan of Avila’s and was pretty ticked off that their child was used to promote her political agenda, especially when it was taken at an oficial school district function. She stopped using it after they spoke out in 2004. Apparently it is back, thinking no one would remember. Well I remember Rosie, and I will be contacting that child’s parents to inform them. They are ardent Sanchez and Obama supporters and will not be happy when they hear the news.
art please, why is it you kiss janets ass so much? i just dont get it. janet isnt a mexican hater? now you think she would be better than sanchez? i agree, she could be doing better but she can never do as bad as janet has. and if i had my choice between a filthy communist and a woman who acts like a teenager in public according to you, i’ll take the teenager.
Art,
“Rosie has surrounded herself with children who appear to be immigrants”?
So, anyone who looks hispanic is automatically an immigrant? Wow.
Jose S.,
You often refer to Janet as a Communist. Are you serious? Do you have back-up for this claim? I know for a fact that she is a Republican – and her father fought against the Commies in the Vietnam War. Her brother by the way is in the U.S. armed forces.
Janet is no Communist. Every time you repeat this lie you serve to undermine whatever point you are trying to make. It simply is not true and repeating this lie puts you in league with the villainous Trannies and Paul Lucas. They are the only ones who have perpetuated such outright mentiras.
As for Janet’s purported anti-Mexican views that too is a myth. She uses the same racist GOP consultant that Mimi Walters uses. He really does appear to be very anti-Mexican but did you look at her campaign materials in February’s election? No mention of any anti-Mexican fervor. I told Janet I would crucify her on this blog if she let her consultant go there again.
The fact is, Supervisor Nguyen has done a GREAT job working with ALL of her constituents. She has made many friends in Santa Ana’s Latino community – and that is a fact.
If you want to persist with these lies at least be a man and back them up Jose. I don’t think you can.
As for Sanchez’ behavior it is just plain embarrassing. She needs to grow up. She is supposed to be a role model. She is an intelligent and educated woman. She is tough and does hold her own in Congress. She just needs to act the part.
As I stated, I am voting for Sanchez in November. But two years from now I would love to be able to vote for Nguyen instead. Now if Nguyen flips out and starts making dumb decisions and acting like Mimi Walters I will have to reassess my support for her. You have my word on that!
Art, I was impressed when learning how much of our Federal Taxes Sanchez is attempting to bring back to her district to do important work such as the water projects that were funded by so called “pork”. California does not get even a fraction of the money we pay in Federal funds back to our communities, at least Sanchez is working hard to do this and help build and invest in our infrastructure.
“the little saigon protesters are the communists!” -art pedroza. you said that art, what proof do you have? everytime you repeat this lie you serve to undermine whatever point your trying to make. you have no more proof that the little saigon protesters are communists any more than i do. i truly believe they are though and i believe so is your precious little janet. after all she has shown up there in support of them so what does that make her art? i’m sure you’ve seen the pic right? you can check it out at our friend the bolsaviks site anytime you like. she is there with the same people you yourself called communists. and the roast pig of course.
jose s. –
Usually your comments are really very much on point, but…
Why must it be that every time we talk about illegal immigration or Communism, someone has to bring up Art’s affiliation with Janet? She won. It’s time to move on.
As far as Supervisor Nguyen being ‘precious,’ well, she doesn’t screw up very often. The only possibly wasteful thing she’s done lately is propose the Bolsa Pedestrian Bridge and Art and I, ‘Jannies’ both, were publicly against it, but at least it has a public purpose. It’s not like she pulled a Gary Miller and earmarked public funds for her own personal gain.
If she messes up, rest assured, we’ll both call her out on it.
SMS
Art, I can’t believe you would vote for Sanchez after your recent posts on this blog–
http://latinopoliticsblog.com/?p=177#more-177
sms, art brought up janet thinking she would be best at giving sanchez a “run for her money” he brought her up not me. once again art is kissing her ass i seriously dont get it. and thinking she would make a good congresswoman?! remember her bigoted letter she sent out? also, remember she said the sheriffs dept was corrupt from the top to the bottom? well she got that right but then quickly apologized when people got pissed off at her true statement so what does she do, she says she’s sorry. does she have any convictions? she has so many people snowed and just the fact that she’s been seen hanging with the communists pretty much says it all. and just because the election is over i’m not supposed to say anything negative about her? good luck.
Jose,
Much better! At least this time you brought up actual issues – but you still had to drag in the commie bit.
As for the letter you noted, it was her consultant’s idea. She has not done anything like that since. And if she does I assure you I will let her have it.
BTW – I do think that there is a lot of corruption in the Sheriff’s Dept. – and I have no doubt it is all over the Dept. But I can understand why Janet had to take back those words. Regardless, Hutchens is going to clean house.
Let me ask you a question. Are you having trouble with Janet because she is Asian? Is this a racial thing? If so – not good. As Latinos we need to get past that B.S.
#13,
I stand corrected. I thought she was drunk but apparently she does not drink – so I am not sure why she acts so crazy when she goes to bars.
Regardless what choice do I have? Rosie is NOT a choice.
Geez, c’mon Art. Do I have to spell it out for ya? Rep. Baca offered the astute observation that she is a whore. Maybe someone should second the motion? If it looks like a rose, and smells like a rose…
#17 –
That’s ‘Representative Whore’ to you. Are you f*&king serious? 😛
Who cares about her personal life? If she’s goofy in public, that’s a problem of course, but what she does behind closed doors is her own damn business.
ALL I for one want in a candidate is integrity, responsibility, and good communication with constituents in their official capacity; the combination of which defines the very essence of an effective leader.
SMS
SMS is absolutely right! Anonymous is living in the wrong century. Fact is that Loretta is entitled to her privacy. Baca is a fool. Anyone who alleges that Loretta sleeps around, doesn’t know her at all. It is sexist, plain and simple, to chatter about and suggest that a female politician must be sleeping around because she is single. And single men, they say, must be gay. Can we please grow up here? Is this a high school locker room or a political community of concerned citizens? I’ve said it before: We’ve heard all the rumors and lies. There is no scandal. Loretta has been with some guy in Washington for a long, long time. Either make a serious comment, or shut up, please! Your comments are borderline libelous. We are lucky to have Loretta as our rep. Check it out. She’s smart and respected in Washington. She does us proud with legislation, leadership, and appropriations for OC.
#19,
The fact is, there are a lot of GOP man-whores in Congress. Remember Newt? Or that crazy Senator with the wide stance?
I don’t condemn Sanchez for sleeping around – I just think she acts like an idiot in public and it is not necessary. She is not a young person anymore. She needs to get with the program.
wow! art….. you have truly shown your true colors. remember how i once said i had a lot of respect for you? well my friend that has just now done gone out the window. # 1, “as for the letter that was her consultants idea she hasnt done anything like that since” so she has other people think for her? she doesnt have a mind of her own? dont you think a supervisor should have a mind of her own? so are you saying that this pig isnt on top of her own biz? the thing is that letter was sent out and it was very bigoted and nothing can change that. whats done is done and the letter speaks for itself. #2, why did the communist janet nguyen have to take back her words that obviously were the truth? has she no backbone and who’s ass was she trying to kiss? and does an ass kisser belong on the board of supes? and for the 64 thousand dollar question am i a asian hater? what an asshole you are for even asking that art. because i live in little saigon and a lot of my neighbors are vietnamese and i not only patronize vietnamese business’s but i have embraced the vietnamese community and am glad they are my brothers and sisters how dare you question me if i’m a racist? what a f-ing moron you must be! you think because i cant stand a communist pig who you have inserted your snout in her rectum i’m a racist? what a dumbass you must be. no offense but for the first time i can see why sean and you have had a falling out. i’ll admit i dont agree with a lot of what sean says but never have i ever thought he was an idiot like i think of you now. go on, play the race card. but the thing is you havent answered myquestion art……why was janet hanging out with the communists and the roasted pig?????????
Jose,
ALL candidates rely on consultants, for the most part. I don’t like a lot of these consultants, and I asked Janet to get rid of hers, but you have to understand that these consultants can cause a lot of damage if you piss them off. They are hooked up and can derail your campaign entirely if they want to. It’s not a pretty picture.
Now this deal with the deputy sheriffs being PO’d because of what Janet said – I personally would have told them to take a hike, and that is why I would NOT make a good elected. Surely you have been around long enough to know how this works? Look at how your boy Solorio just voted to cover up for dirty cops – again – because their unions have paid him thousands of dollars.
I asked you the question about racism because I DON’T KNOW YOU. At least I don’t think I do. It is a fair question. There is a lot of racial tension between Latinos and the Vietnamese. The fact is, Latinos are VERY racist when they want to be and that is a fact. I am glad to hear that you don’t feel that way.
I am just trying to understand your utter hatred for Janet – it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Unless you are hung up on that letter which is your right. I have elected to move on and I have stated MANY times that if I EVER see anything like that coming out of Janet or her campaigns I will be DONE with her. She knows that.
I am not sure why you are dragging Sean into this equation BTW. We still talk. I like Sean – I just don’t like the political calculation he and his boy Tinajero made when they sold out to the Pulido machine in return for commission and board appointments.
And that brings me to your final point. I have NO IDEA what the heck you are talking about with regard to a roasted pig. Sounds tasty if anything. And Janet is harly the only Vietnamese politician who has met with the protesters. They ALL have. That is a tough and crazy constituency. The politicians cannot afford to get them riled up. Luckily many of these nut jobs are older so time will take care of them eventually. The younger Vietnamese appear to not be buying into the craziness.
first off solorio isnt my “boy”, and no, you wouldnt make a good elected official because you have no backbone and yes, ive been around long enough to know how certain things work and thats why we need people who stand up to people regardless of how it might look. regardless if they might lose their jobs. and “latinos are very racist when they want to be”?! wow art, i’m so glad you’re here to shed light on all this i feel so lucky. but i have news for you, racism is an illness that affects all races. ALL RACES ART. not just latinos. and as far as the pic of janet hanging with the communists and the roast pig i’m sure you’ve seen it you just want to block it out of your mind because it shows what she’s all about.you refer to them as a “tough and crazy constituancy” so now you are sounding like the racist art.and you say that they dont want to get them “riled up”? they dont want to rile up people acting like communists? what good are they then?dont you know and understand that by not saying something about the protesters they condone their behavior. and as far as bringing sean into this i said that because i could never understand why the two of you fought so much but like i said, i see now. it’s pretty clear to me you’re an asshole.
by the way art, go to our friend the bolsaviks site, scroll down to where it says “search” type in “roast pig” and there you will see your precious janet hanging with the communists.
jose,
Hey, you’re entitled to your opinion but IMHO you need to take some anger control pills.
I do think it is pretty funny that you think I have no backbone. It is especially funny when an anon commenter states that! Say what you will about me – I always put my neck on the line and I put my name to what I have to say. If that isn’t “backbone” I don’t know what is.
And yes Latinos can be even bigger racists than other folks. My own dad, who was born and raised in Mexico, was a Celtics fan because they had “more white guys.” I’ll take the Lakers, thank you very much.
And I could care less if the crazies in Little Saigon get riled up. But Janet and ALL the other Vietnamese politicians are careful about that. Again, I don’t always see eye to eye with Janet, but that is no reason to hate her. I have a feeling she cannot do anything right in your book.
My own dad, who was born and raised in Mexico, was a Celtics fan because they had “more white guys.”
Arturo –
Your dad may have been a racist but he forgot a few things about the ‘Green Machine.’ First of all, they were one of the first teams to have any African-American players at all. Also, they had the first black head coach in history in K.C. Jones and he won (I believe) three championship rings with that legendary big three in the 80’s.
WAAAAY back when Jones was a player, your precious Lakers were still in Minnesota. But there’s always next year for your boys in yellow! GO CELTS! GO SOX! GO PATS!
Bruins who?! 🙁
Oh, and those of every race are racist. Frankly, I’m openly racist against many white people because they tend to be the worst when it comes to discrimination. In other words, I discriminate against racists!
However, there is a fine line between racism and merely presenting cultural demographics, even if most Asians I know admit to being bad drivers (a Chinese friend of mine calls it ‘DWA – driving while Asian’) and most Italians like myself admit to having a mean streak and a little too much wine with our pasta and meatballs! Sometimes we need to face the cruel truth about our own beliefs in order to improve ourselves.
What’s more important in race relations in today’s world is that those who have been stereotyped not actually further those stereotypes. So many people unfortunately do and as such they add fuel to the fire. 🙁

art,once again you wont answer my question. what was janet doing hanging out with the very people you yourself called the communists? and doesnt that make her a communist too? i personally think you have seen those pics but for some reason you wont admit it. i have to admit they are pretty damning. and what does that say about her and the rest of the vietnamese elected officials who bow down to this type nonsense because they dont want to piss the communists off? and another thing, i dont hate your little communist friend i just dislike her very much. and the reason i’m so pissed off at you is because you assume i’m a racist against asians because i dont like your communist friend. i’m sorry to hear your father was a racist my father was born in mexico too and he wasnt a racist so dont just assume because he was that thats the norm for latinos. now be a good boy and go to our friend the bolsaviks site and type in roast pig.
So Loretta “Sausage” Sanchez made her fight with Congressman Joe Baca public by announcing to the media that Baca called her a WHORE. The average person wouldn’t have known Ms. Sausage’s slutty reputation had she kept her fight between her and Baca. She thought the people would come to her defense and call upon Baca to apologize to her. But guess what? Nobody, not even Fabian Nunez, came to her defense. Why? Well, we know why and so does Joe Baca. The truth hurts.
#28 –
Despite the rhetoric, it’s hard to argue your point; this was a major strategic error on Loretta’s part.
In my humble opinion, I pulled this play off better. 😛
SMS
#28 & 29
Your point would be well taken, if it had any basis in fact, but it does not. Your asumptions are incorrect. Neither Loretta nor her staff went public with the allegation about Baca’s offensive comments. The “Politico” reporter got the story from a source in Sacramento who heard Baca make the comment. The reporter says that Loretta found out about it only when she was asked to comment on the story. Relations between Baca and Loretta were already strained because Loretta raised ethical allegations against Baca’s misuse of caucus funds for his sons political campaigns. When the “whore” story came out, it was the last straw and Loretta withdrew from the caucus with complete dignity. She wasn’t looking for and doesn’t need anyone to defend her reputation. All of the smears about her are false. She does not dignify them with any response. I have never seen anyone present a shred of evidence that Loretta is immoral. Such charges are totally unfounded. She is a hard-working, dedicated and honorable person and congresswoman. Your childish name calling simply shows your lack of taste and maturity. Your false assumptions demonstrate your bias and stupidity. Neither you, nor anyone else, has any evidence of inappropriate behavior by Loretta.
#28 & 29
Moreover, many congressmen and women called on Baca to apologize to Loretta. He publicly denied ever making the statement (being embarrassed to make such a false and offensive remark). If it was a defensible comment, why did Baca run away from it like a scared little child with a guilty conscience??? Get your damn facts straight, people! We’re all tired of the lies and innuendoes about Loretta. Put up or shut up.
As I said earlier, Ms. Sanchez should have kept her fight with Baca between themselves. She called on Fabian Nunez to confirm he heard Baca call her a WHORE. But Nunez refused to get in the middle of her fight. I don’t recall Baca apologizing. I didn’t realize that there are that many lies and innuendos about the Sausage Queen.
I’m voting for Rosie on the basis that she will bring dignity and class to the congressional seat.
ROSIE AVILA FOR CONGRESS 2008.
Dogger –
Thank you for clarifying that, but even still, the fact that I could give ‘ankle biter’ the benefit of the doubt in his assertion just goes to the shadow cast over Loretta’s public persona.
As I said earlier, I’m not concerned about her private life; I’m not even concerned about whether or not she acts ‘goofy’ in public. I am, however, concerned about the way others will see her behavior as it makes the rumors about her that much more believable.
As Art said, she needs to step up her game, especially if she wants to be Governor (I want to be proud to vote for her), but she’s a whole universe better than that narrow-minded Theocrat Rosie Avila in any event.
SMS
Ankle Biter finds it hard to believe that the land could be awash in lies and false rumors! He is apparently, as his name implies, still a child without the historical awareness that comes from education and experience. The prevalence of lies is the condition of mankind, and it is the condition of the foolish mob to accept the lies as true. The truth cannot be measured by the popularity of lies. Fools like Ankel Biter spread the false rumors and SMS says, “There must be some truth behind all those rumors!” The Golden Rule demands that we give each other the benefit of the doubt until we see verifiable evidence of guilt. That’s why one of the core principles of justice is “innocent until proven guilty.” Ankle Biter, on the other hand, is willing to accept the lies of Loretta’s political enemies (is there any doubt that he harbors that bias too?) as evidence of Loretta’s moral faults, yet his reply cannot cite one single concrete fact to support his pathetic name-calling. There is not one shred of evidence that Loretta is morally compromised. Not one. I challenge you to present one witness, one document, one photograph or any other bit of information to prove your claims. You, of course, cannot do so, because she is above reproach. When a woman with an attractive peronality comes along, the mob attempts to drag her into the mud. Women leaders have always faced this problem, from Joan of Arc to Hillary. Loretta conducts herself with appropriate decorum in her public life. She also displays confidence and an exhuberance for life. She has not allowed the weight of her office to crush her spirit. So, who is undignified, SMS–Loretta, or the sexist pigs who spread false rumors and call her names without any basis in fact or evidence?
SMS, you seem like a thoughtful person. So why demean yourself by giving any credence to the ignorant sexist ranting of idiots like Ankel Biter? He publicly humiliates himself by resorting to name-calling because he is too stupid to make a rational argument against Loretta. Leave him in the gutter where he lives and help elevate the conversation to issues of real importance. If you want to see what a smart and strong woman leader looks like in action, tune in to a hearing of the Border, Maritime and Global Terrorism Subcommittee, and watch Chairwoman Loretta Sanchez do her job. She is very impressive.
Dogger –
I didn’t say there must be truth behind the rumors. I said Loretta’s actions sometimes make the rumors easy to believe. That’s all. BIG difference! By facing this truth, she can position herself better for future campaigns; I still wouldn’t worry about this one if I were she though. Rosie is Looney Toons.
SMS
SMS–
Yes, your quite right. I misconstrued your comment, and I apologize. My point remains valid, however: we cannot infer the truth of a rumor from its prevalence, and repeating a lie over and over does not make it true. Personally, I have not seen or read about any conduct on her part which would make the trite charges of immorality more credible. The “stories” about Loretta’s public conduct usually have little factual content and tend to grow over time into tall tales with ruffles and flourishes invented to suit the purpose of the raconteur. That is one of the risks of being a public figure. After 12 years in the public eye, however, Loretta’s critics still have not found anything concrete to indict her for, except her offbeat holiday cards! Even Jesus made it only three years before they trumped up some charges and nailed him to a cross.
It is finished,
dogger
I remember a recent incident at the Truman Dinner. The congresswoman while on stage blurts out to a young man in the audience, “Are you single?” This is not appropriate behavior for a congresswoman. Where is the woman’s dignity?
There’s an old saying, “There are two things you should never see being made, Laws and Sausages.” In her case, unfortunately, we see both.
Wow, that’s a major indictment, Bismarck. Humor at a banquet! How terribly undignified! Bismarck must be the only person in the whole banquet who didn’t get the situational humor. Need to polish up your funny bone, young man. If a congressMAN told an off-color joke, no one would notice or care. So, that’s the case against Loretta. There you have it, everyone: Loretta makes light-hearted jokes at banquets. It is even a clean joke, the assumption being that she, being single, is only interested in dating other single men. The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse…What’s next? She was seen wearing a bathing suit to the beach?
Loretta Sanchez’s sex scandal with Jack Einwechter has all of the elements of a great political sex scandal–a sexy pol with a slutty image, a military officer, a Playboy connection, exotic international trysts, secret lives, Washington intrigue, etc. I guess the media is too distracted by the financial meltdown and a very interesting presidential election to give this the attention it deserves. So, Sanchez will easily win reelection, but at least we have something to look forward to in the 111th Congress a this torrid tale of lust and power unfolds! Can’t wait…
