Anaheim School Trustee James Vanderbilt-Linares: The Bizarro World Loretta Sanchez?

Vanderbilt-Linares: You can TOTALLY see that nopal en la frente...

A friendly source kindly corrected me on my post yesterday on the lack of Latino representation on Anaheim's elected government entities. He pointed out that James Vanderbilt, a trustee on the Anaheim City School District board, is actually half-Latino: his mom is ~~half~~ full wab, and he once ran for school board under his full name, James Vanderbilt-Linares.

That is...until Vanderbilt-Linares decided to drop the Mexi part of his name while running for a spot on the 69th Assembly District Republican Central Committee. Why drop the name, Jaime? Afraid all those GOP Know Nothing would deport your vendido ass?

His convenenciero stylings, of course, reminds county observers of the ultimate bicultural opportunist: the former Loretta Sanchez-Brixey.

Loretta, of course, famously ran for the Anaheim City Council as a Republican under the name Loretta Sanchez-Brixey until realizing Mexis hate Republicans and Mexi women who marry gabachos. Vanderbilt-Linares, to his credits, has remained Republican--bu why did you drop your mami's name, Jaime? Makes no sense whatsoever...but that's local Republicans for ya....

I dont get it either.. Maybe you ought to do a better job at getting Mexicans to the polls or... is it possible to think that maybe more Mexicans are voting republican than you give credt?? That would really eff up your day huh?

I've always maintained that Mexis are natural libertarians, and that the GOP has fucked up their future by playing stupid anti-immigrant games—you can look it up!

Petty libertarians -- as in the 'we don't need no stinkin' badges' , or licenses, or health inspectors (for restaurants) or tax reporting.

But in the larger matter of getting the government to pay for their families, transferring wealth from one group to another, they are all Democrat.

BTW, why do *you* use two names, a la Anglais, rather than including your mother's name? Vendido, or just misogynistic?

gustavoarellano

True libertarians, unlike your National Socialism bullshit.

Dont need to look it up I know you have... I'm just pokin a little fun at your "Mexi's hate Republicans" jab

AND I'm the one who has taken the most crap for marrying a Mexi... Mostly from her familia!

"He pointed out that James Vanderbilt, a trustee on the Anaheim City School District board, is actually half-Latino: his mom is half-wab,"

Klavito's formidable math skilz strike again.

He's a clue, capullo. 1/2*1/2=1/4.

It is always disheartening to read about the racial divide that exists in the world. Why would Mexicans hate Mexican woman who marry white men?
