You see this yet? Did you get this in the mail, if you’re an Anaheim Democrat? (Hat-tip Mark Daniels & Nancy West.)
That reads, “Lorri Galloway, Democrat for Mayor,” just above a disclaimer acknowledging that the ad was paid for by the Lincoln Club of OC.
But I bet most Democrat voters who get this mailer don’t know what the Lincoln Club is, or why they’d be telling Democrats who to pick for Mayor. To begin with, they are a faction of wealthy Orange County Republicans who’ve been around 50 years, purporting to protect “The American Way” whatever that is. Here is their home page.
I hesitate to call them “conservative” or “rightwing” even – they may have been somewhat conservative in the past, but in recent years they have become a part of the KLEPTOCRATIC faction of their Party (possibly under the influence of Curt Pringle.)
Believe it or not, they enthusiastically endorsed the disgraced Harry Sidhu for Mayor – something the OC Republican Party didn’t even do – and now they are endorsing crooked Republican Trevor O’Neil to be Harry’s successor. Mira no mas, from their online voters’ guide:
That’s right – this group that has endorsed and funded Republican Trevor O’Neil to be Mayor of Anaheim wants DEMOCRATS to vote for Lorri Galloway! And why? Duh… Because, just like four years ago, every Democratic vote for Lorri is a vote that’ll help the Republican beat Ashleigh!
We’ve been saying this for years – Lorri is just a spoiler candidate, funded to split the Democrat vote. Several wealthy men told me over the last couple of years that they funded Lorri in 2018 just to help Sidhu beat Ashleigh (which they now regret.) As the OC Register wrote last month, while endorsing Ashleigh:
The third candidate, Lorri Galloway, has raised little money and mainly will divert votes from Aitken.
Even Dan Chmielewski, Lorri’s biggest fan in the blogosphere, seems to have been ordered to shut up about this race, judging by his recent silence. As for Lorri herself, it’s hard to say what really goes on in that deluded mind – maybe she thinks God has appointed her to help ensure four more years of Cabal control because it’s part of his inscrutable plan?
In short, if you’re a Democrat in Anaheim, vote Ashleigh for Mayor. If you are an independent who wants an honest Anaheim government, vote Ashleigh for Mayor. And if you are a Republican who wants an honest Anaheim government (and I know there are a lot of you!) VOTE ASHLEIGH FOR MAYOR.
Vern out.
The Lincoln Club hasn’t been influential in years and years. Just a collection of value-free gas bags.
Same organization that endorsed Harry Sidhu a month before the FBI reveal.
THE LINCOLN CLUB OF ORANGE COUNTY
Fighting to preserve the American way of life since 1962.
Their early Members were all John Birch Society and Impeach Earl Warren…
The Lincoln Club of Orange County, through its members, has helped shape California and national politics for five decades.
The Club’s Founders include many of the most Prominent Businessmen in Orange County history, including Dr. Arnold O. Beckman, founder of Beckman Instruments, Walter Knott, founder of Knott’s Berry Farm, Carl Karcher founder of Carl’s Jr and Si Fluor, founder of Fluor Corporation. President Richard Nixon and John Wayne were once members. To this day, Club membership includes the most public-spirited and prominent business and professional men and women in Orange County.
Throughout its history, the Lincoln Club has stayed true to its founding principles and continues the important work of fighting to protect the American way of life.
I can’t vote for Ashleigh because I refuse to vote for any candidates who take dirty money and endorsements from public safety unions. I can only imagine what she has promised the cop and fire union goons. I can’t vote for Trevor because, well, Trevor. I can’t vote for a mothballed, serial litigator and fraudster like Galloway either. So I guess I leave my choice for Mayor blank? How is it that these are the best options available?
Well, Hector, Dick Lopez actually is a real nice guy with good ideas.

If I were going simply by policy positions I’d be tempted by Dick Lopez — but as things stand it is truly throwing away your vote. It sounds like that’s what you want to do, Hector, so Lopez is a good choice for you — a protest that shows up in the results! Me, I’m sticking with supporting Ashleigh — only partly to spite Grifter Galloway.
I hear your pain, Hector. The only good thing about the “public safety” unions backing Ms. Aitken is that I believe the KleptoBloc® has been broken.
Yeah, I don’t know if she “promised” them something or not; what I was thinking was they want to go with a winner, and they were thinking Trevor doesn’t look like one.
I guess we’ll just see.
I think you’re right. In the past it would have been a no-brainer to go with Pringle’s boy.
