   Gus,

   Didn't then-Democratic, presidential candidate, John Kerry give a speach @ the Balboa Bay Club, back in '04?

   The BBC has been popular for Democratic events for a few years. Last I checked it was one of the few locales with a union contract.
   And I think Democratic godfather Dick O'Neill was one of it's founders.

   Even more bizarre, Charlie Cook has declared that the 46th Congressional District, long the home of Dana Rohrabacher ( R-Alternate Reality) is no longer a Safe Republican District.

   Didn't the OCWeekly used to report on Rohrabacher? Are you going to replay some of your greatest hits before the election, or are you going to follow the lead of the Register and the LA Times and just give crazy Dana a pass for his behavior because he's a stoner and slacker?

   Yeah, we don't report on Dana anymore--that whole Jeffrey Ray Nielsen series was just a pass.

   Jeffrey Ray Nielsen is old news.

   What have you done for us lately?

   I love your impudence, Bizarro! Betcha when Debbie Cook starts unveiling her anti-Dana mailers, the vast majority of the material will be stuff Moxley unearthed. Just linking to crazy shit Dana says isn't reporting. We stand by our Dana coverage--and where do you get we're not doing anything? Quality takes time...

   Don't be surprised of the OC Republican GOP has every restroom, hallway, conference and guest rooms at the Balboa Bay Club WIRED for information gathering. The OC Republican GOP does not know how to win a fair and legitimate campaign for President or any other elected position. It is all about defaming, slandering and creating chaos in the minds of voters.

   The OC Republican GOP is the leader of destroying the Republican party in the U.S., but they are too cowardly to admit it just yet. Don't think that Obama's fundraiser at the Bay Club is going to be Republican GOP event free.... there must be something in the works as the OC Republican GOP continues to lead a corrupt and self-serving agenda, with hope that voters will join forces with their corruption.

   Pray that Dana R. is removed from office by voters in Orange County.... he is a disgrace to any political cause or party.

    The truth is... the Jeffrey Ray Nielsen child porn arrest and sexual assault of two minor children is NOT old news. There are still many questions that the OC District Attorney Rackauckas and OC Sheriff have never publicly disclosed..... WHY NOT?

    Because the OC Republican GOP is in bed with each and every Judge, attorney and elected official that refuses to act in the interest of the common good and justice. Rackauckas still has not explained publicly why the DA's office dismissed the child porn charges against Jeffrey Ray Nielsen. Is it really because of an expired statutes of limitations? And, if so, who is the incompetent DA employee who allowed the child porn statute of limitation to expire? And, is this incompetent DA employee still employed by the citizen of Orange County, California?

    Gustavo,

    Clearly too many Democrats in the OC have lost touch with reality. This event is not something to celebrate - what it means is the Dems and the Reeps are both corporatist. That is not good news at all.

    However Obama is still a better choice than McCain. No contest!

    Gustavo, I agree Dems have lost touch with reality and continue to do so by going with Obama.
    No Experience, All Talk, No Walk.
    His entire campaign is based on Iraq. Promises a withdrawal and doesn't say how without Iran invading? And now refuses to debate the issues with McCain. But most disturbing is all the shady people Obama associates with. Are we really to beleive that after 20 years of Rev. Wright, he hasn't been influenced by the anti-white, anti-U.S. rhetoric at all?
    At least Oprah had enough common sense to leave the church years ago. That's it, no common sense! and why he is going to the BBC!

    So where do you suggest he hold the fundraiser?
    Let me think. A venue that is middle America, and okay with Democrats.
    Okay, fine. I guess he can always pass the hat open mic night at The Ugly Mug after the poetry readings on Wednesdays.
