Career politician Tom Daly insulted women voters in the 69th Assembly District today with a sexist oven pad that he mailed in his wife Debbie’s name.
Daly is obviously trying to pander to women voters but what a stupid way to do it. Is he saying that women belong in the kitchen?
A lot of women don’t cook anymore. In my house I am the cook – and I do the grocery shopping too.
The Lincoln Club of Orange County’s State and Federal Political Action Committees have issued a primary election Orange County voter guide, and it is a stunning slap to the Republican Party of Orange County’s slate of candidates in Central Orange County.
Why would the Lincoln Club reject them? Well, for starters, most of them are startlingly anti-Latino. One of them, Robert Hammond, got rejected not once but twice – the Lincoln Club refused to endorse him for both the OC GOP’s 69th Assembly District delegation and the Orange County Board of Education, Area One.

Career politician Tom Daly mailed a ridiculous seven page homage to himself to voters in the 69th Assembly District yesterday. The mailer is a celebration of everything Daly and even goes back to his days in Little League baseball. If you are to believe Daly, the people of Anaheim owe their lives to him!
Will this printed debauchery impress the voters? How many voters will laugh at the expense Daly went to and toss the brochure right into the trash? Continue reading
Special interestes have now poured over $350,000 in Independent Expenditures into the race for the 69th Assembly District, on behalf of O.C. Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly. Click here to see for yourself.
Special interests have also poured over $120,000 in Independent Expencitures into the race on behalf of liberal union hack Julio Perez.
Yet bloggers at the Liberal OC, the Voice of OC and the Orange Juice blog, as well as the OC Political Blog (not to be confused with the blog you’re reading) have humored themselves by attacking the leading Hispanic candidate for the heavily Latino 69th A.D., Michele Martinez, because of a $250 contribution that she received. Amazing. Continue reading
A collection of ultra-liberal Democrats and anti-Latino Republicans is having a field day attacking Santa Ana Council Woman Michele Martinez, the leading Hispanic candidate for the 69th Assembly District, over a puny $250 donation while ignoring the fact that a PAC made up of some of the biggest, greediest corporations in the state has dumped over $78,000 into an Independent Expenditure on behalf of career politician Tom Daly, another Democrat who is facing off against Martinez.
It is simply ridiculous on its face. And it isn’t just the blogs and their commenters – even the Voice of OC, which is supposed to be a reputable news source, has jumped into the fray – attacking Martinez while ignoring the thousands of dollars being poured into the race on behalf of Daly by the likes of AT&T (which recently charged lobbyists $50,000 so they could play golf with the corrupt California Assembly Speaker, John Perez; the California Real Estate PAC; Nestle (which has been accused of using child slave laborers to harvest cocoa beans in Africa); Continue reading
I paid for the Voice of the OCEA!
When the Voice of OC started reporting on Orange County politics we all hoped they were serious about their mission. However they were funded by the Orange County Employees Association, a union, and now it is more obvious than ever that they are less about reporting objectively and more about doing what their union masters bid them to do. Case in point – their latest attack by Voice of OC reporter Adam Elmahrek on Santa Ana Council Member Michele Martinez, the leading Hispanic candidate for the 69th Assembly District. Elmahrek reported that “The Santa Ana City Council is scheduled to vote May 7 on striking down one of the strictest campaign finance laws in Orange County, apparently to help Councilwoman Michele Martinez in her race for the state Assembly.” How is that reporting? The last part of that sentence is clearly his opinion, masquerading as journalism! Continue reading
Santa Ana Council Member Michele Martinez, the leading Hispanic candidate for the 69th Assembly District, is hosting a huge fundraiser this Wednesday night, at Original Mike’s. Here are the details:
One of Santa Ana Council Member Michele Martinez’ supporters caught a Julio Perez supporter tearing down her campaign signs in Santa Ana today. Martinez and Perez are both running for the 69th Assembly District. The Perez supporter did not speak English, but when the Martinez supporter then queried him in Spanish, he ran off, as you can see in the video above.
The Martinez sign was on a private property which means that the Perez supporter was trespassing. He left his fingerprints behind on the sign he had torn down and ripped up. The sign has been turned over to the Santa Ana Police Department. Continue reading

You have to love Gustavo Arellano’s hyperbole. He reported this week that “I about spit out my Maker’s this evening when word came to me that SanTana councilwoman and 69th Assembly District hopeful Michele Martinez appeared on a Vietnamese-language channel here in Little Saigon, getting softball questions tossed at her by none other than former State Assembly member Van Thai Tran. Tran, the man who has long trashed Mexicans and tried to pit Vietnamese and Mexican voters against each other in a strategy only neo-Nazis and the Republican Party could love. Tran, the sworn enemy of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.”
Since when is Gustavo a Sanchez acolyte? She is the biggest phony ever. She was a Republican for most of her life before she switched to the Democratic Party, only after she got blown out in a race for the Anaheim City Council. Sanchez not only switched parties, she also dropped her married name, which at the time was “Brixey,” and rediscovered her Latina surname, “Sanchez.” Continue reading

Santa Ana Firemen’s Benevolent Association Endorses Michele Martinez for State Assembly

A new poll of voters in the 69th Assembly District might be the reason that Orange County Labor and the OC GOP machine are trying to squeeze Republican candidate Jose Moreno out of the 69th A.D. primary.
According to the survey memo, “Democrats Tom Daly and Michele Martinez and Republican Moreno lead the pack. Martinez leads all candidates among Latinos and leads Julio Perez, by 16 points. She also leads all candidates in Santa Ana – home to 60% of likely voters. Martinez is also likely to benefit disproportionately from the fact that Democratic women are among the most undecided subgroups in the district initially. And when voters were read profiles of the three major Democrats and a shorter profile of Republican Moreno, Martinez moved into the lead.” Continue reading
Apparently one of my readers insinuated that liberal Democrat Julio Perez, who is running for the 69th Assembly District (in last place according to a recent poll) is gay.
I tried to find the comment but could not. However it appears to have set off Orange Juice bloggers Greg Diamond and Vern Nelson. Diamond in fact immediately began to threaten me and he said that he would use the courts to force me to give up the IP address of the commenter who apparently insinuated that Perez is gay.
