Please, not in Orange County either. We don’t want them here, and we’re not nearly as red as we used to be… more of a purpley color these days.

Thanks for the warning Lukas as I live right by the stadium; wonder how they are going to get 100,000 though since the stadium capacity is 70,561.

San Diego has always been a Republican stronghold because-mainly- of the military being based here but East County has now become the home of the ‘religionists’ much like Mesa,AZ is home to the majority of Mormons in AZ.

Would you believe that San Diego County has had the SAME Republican Board of ‘supervisors‘ for the last 13 years?

If I cited the same type of crap that lucas cited then I could “prove” Obama’s connection to ACORN. But you would just say that my sources weren’t valid….

Well gee, why don’t you make up your mind. I was pointing out that there are Diggs on this diary.

And there is a word limit on a Digg precis, so there is pertinent information that may be left out.

The fact that the mother of the founder of Blackwater is independently wealthy and used her own money is really more of a strawman argument.

Yes she has money. Yes she gave it to fund Prop 8. Yes her son established Blackwater and is trying to meddle in CA politics as well. The connection between these facts is actually much closer than any connection you can show between the Obama campaign and ACORN, no matter how you may try to do so.

You comment about the diggs, but don’t say anything about the failure to mention her own personal wealth? Quality reporting going on here folks….

There’s apparently a problem with the Digg here at Oxdown as there are actually six Diggs on this diary.

Diggs just don’t seem to show here.

I guess nobody “diggs” bad reporting. Nice selective research Lucas, way to leave out the facts.
