Republican, Democrat, Independent??? The Partisan Affiliations of Everyone Holding Office In Orange County
Posted by Chris Emami on March 22, 2013
I was working on a database of the part affiliation of all Orange County local elected officials. Finally, I have completed the project with all of the special districts and county seats being added. I also fixed some errors in the previous versions (here, here, and here) and have combined the database into one post.
We have added a button on the menu bar for our readers to always be able to access this database and use it for whatever research/political needs that they may have. Due to the length of th epost you are going to have to click the below link to read the rest of the post.

How Well Did the OC Register’s Endorsements Go?
Posted by Chris Nguyen on November 13, 2012
This year marked the first time that The Orange County Register endorsed candidates for office. While the paper has endorsed for or against ballot measures on a regular basis, this was the paper’s first foray into endorsing City Council candidates.
So here’s who they endorsed, and whether the candidate won or loss (I should note these numbers are subject to change pending further results from the Registrar of Voters, as there are several close races, including, but not limited to, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, Tustin, and Yorba Linda):

The Register went 39-27 in Council races (2-1 in mayoral races if you count those separately from Council races), endorsing the winner 59% of the time.
On ballot measures, here’s what happened with The Register’s endorsements:
| Ballot Measure | OC Register | OC Voters | Statewide Voters |
| Proposition 30 | No | No | Yes |
| Proposition 31 | No | No | No |
| Proposition 32 | Yes | Yes | No |

| Proposition 37 | No | No | No |
| Proposition 38 | No | No | No |
| Proposition 39 | No | Yes | Yes |
| Proposition 40 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Measure M (Coast Community College District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure N (Fountain Valley School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | No | - |
| Measure O (La Habra City School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure P (Ocean View School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | No | - |
| Measure Q (Rancho Santiago Community College District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure S (Tustin Unified School District – Needs 55% to Pass) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure T (Brea) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure U (Brea) | No | No | - |
| Measure V (Costa Mesa) | Yes | No | - |
| Measure W (Fullerton) | Yes | No | - |

| Measure DD (Los Alamitos) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure EE (Newport Beach) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure FF (Orange) | Yes | No | - |
| Measure GG (Santa Ana) | No | Yes | - |
| Measure HH (Tustin) | Yes | Yes | - |
On statewide ballot measures, The Register went 10-1 (91%) with Orange County voters but 7-4 (64%) with California voters.
On local ballot measures, The Register went 7-14 (33%) with the voters.
I’ll still be number crunching over the next days and weeks, but despite what looks like a dismal endorsement record, it appears The Register was actually middle of the pack on their endorsement success rate in Orange County.

Carol Rudat Sends Horrendously Disgusting Email Regarding the Death of Tom Fuentes
Posted by Chris Nguyen on May 24, 2012
Ordinarily, for e-mail statements we receive and reprint, we’d post them under the “Newsletter Reprint” account. However, this statement from Carol Rudat was so horrendously disgusting that it warranted separate commentary here. We received copies of this e-mail from multiple readers who urged us to post this to show the world the kind of person Rudat is. For readers unfamiliar with Rudat, she is the wife of former Orange City Manager Dave Rudat and infamously ran unsuccessfully for Orange City Council in 2006 while living in Newport Beach.
Immediately, I’d like to note that Tom Fuentes served as Vice Chair under Lois Lundberg. Fuentes’s Vice Chair was Jo Ellen Allen and his Executive Director was Kathy Tavoularis. Many other women also served in leadership roles during Fuentes’s Chairmanship, so the assertion that he tried to keep women out of leadership roles is utterly preposterous.
She also includes a rather non sequitur section that is basically a racist justification for a guest worker program.
Romeo, by the way, is her dog. I really think Steve Sheldon and Denis Bilodeau have better things to do with their time and money than to arrange the kidnapping of a chihuahua. I believe this is the likely culprit:
Coyote
I could go on to rebut more, but Rudat’s e-mail is so ridiculous, everything in it should be assumed false, until proven otherwise.
This e-mail is filled with bile, factual errors, and grammatical errors:

Subject: Fwd: Tom Fuentes died, Thank You GOD, one more bad guy gone.The Woman Hater, Tom Fuentes of the OC Republican Party, and whom are current Chairman Scott Baugh could not cow tail too fast enough, has finally died and he is in God’s hands. Thank “God” for Fuentes that he will be forgiven BUT God does not allow one to get away with the evil that a person does while on earth.
To the woman who have dealt with Tom Fuentes back lash, his tear down of women, keeping women off the OC Central Committee leadership positions and EVEN had the Audacity to ask elected women to step down for the MEN’S control, you have now been freed of one of the BAD REPUBLICANS who has been ruining our County, State and Country.
But, there is Scott Baugh who couldn’t bow fast or low enough to Fuentes and Scott is still sitting as Chairman of the OC Central Committee so the work of the honest Republicans, the REAL Republicans who are REAL Americans, is not done.
The NM Leaders need to take hold of Baugh and stop turning their heads, he’s unethical and I am one word away from what he really is besides unethical. Put the picture together as to whom he does business with, shares offices with, and whomever speaks favorably of Scott in the NM then a word of heed is to ‘beware’.
The good leaders of the LC have been bedazzeled by the BAD, even if a Valedictorian does not mean a person has common sense or street smarts to see through those who have been corrupt and mis-leading the association.
I hope no one is going to forward this to Scott Baugh and the Lincoln Club because it will be very disappointing to hear who did and who cannot understand who the good and bad are.
If people in the USA continue to be complacent we are going to lose this country to the following ‘groups’ : Gangs (Mexican especially); Cartels (Mexican Cartels are in 300 Cities throughout the US already) go to CNN in the past week and check out a brief story by Anderson Cooper ad find out how the Cartels are infiltrating and gaining control in the US by controlling the Illegal’s and gaining friendships with the corrupt cops, District Attorneys, et.al.; Russian Mafia (oh yes they are here and are hacking the computers to the banking, and all the other sites like Craigs List etc.; of course the long lived Italian Mafia and don’t forget the Unions who are nothing less than Cartels right under our feet.
The Hispanic Illegal Immigration problem started when the Guest Worker Program (aka The Vassero Program) came to a halt in the 1960′s under President Johnson. Since the Hispanic people no longer to obtain ‘worker permit cards’ they had to sneak over the border. This sneaking, thus being Illegal, has given the Gangs and Mexican Mafia/Cartels control over these people. These people fear the gangs and they know the gangs are holding hands with corrupt cops and other legal officials as this is no different than in Mexico. The result? The Hispanics will not call for help when there are crimes, they will not report known drug trafficking, they will not call to report a child kidnapped (these children are put into trafficking). Thus, the Gangs and Mexican Mafia/Cartels gain more and more control and that means they are gaining control over you too!
Simply placing the Guest Worker Program back into existence will be the first step to take away the Gang, Mafia/Cartel controls within the USA.
Placing the Guest Worker Program into existence should begin to: eliminate the free health care as we will know who these people work for and we can make sure they have health insurance; provide correct wages for these persons so they can live openly in adequate housing and stop the hording of humans in housing as we will be able to know where they live; we can hold the companies and persons who hire these workers responsible and we will not be bearing these costs.
This is real, this is not a joke, and everyone needs to wake up and work together to stop the corruption or lose this Country. If you do not believe me then start doing some research but for GODS SAKE pull your head out of the sand. The Republican Women’s group is already a formation, pull together and start fighting for your Country.
It does not matter if you are Republican or Democrat, the good people need to get together and fight the crime in both parties as they have been infiltrated by corruption. The bad in both parties and in all the Gangs hold hands. They work together and that is how their strength grows. This means the GOOD PEOPLE MUST HOLD HANDS and work together.
I have been threatened to my face by Steve Sheldon on behalf of Denis Bilodeau and the corrupt, to turn my head ‘or else’. His departing statement, “remember, I offered you an olive branch.” That message was a month before these guys hired a Hispanic Gang Member from El Modena (Orange) to climb my back fence and kidnapped Romeo. Since, I have had THREE women deliver the exact same message, one to my face at a park inside Big Canyon. The message, “you’re a marked woman”. The woman in Big Canyon Gated Community stated she was a member of the Newport Beach Republican Women’s group and she claimed to be a resident in Big Canyon on the south side of the main entry in one of the townhomes. The others were over the phone and yes, of course I have names and those names have been forward. Yes, there is a police report filed about Steve Sheldon’s terrorist threat at Irvine Police Department (he’s an attorney and the California Bar Association has done nothing).
During the election Denis Bilodeau passed me on the sidewalk in front of the Senior Center and made this comment to me, “the more you walk the worse it’s going to get.” I laughed then, what a wimp, and I am laughing more now because each day he is getting closer to prison bars as are his corrupt connections. That include’s newspaper reporters who are part of the corruption, remember News of the World in London?
My mother, who was 90 years old at the time, received terrorist calls about Romeo. How would anyone get her unlisted phone number? Well elected officials and those well entrenched in corruption can gain private telephone numbers.
I have not stopped and I am not giving up. Think about your grandchildren, nieces and nephews. If you do not work together and take back this Country and stop the corruption then will we have freedom or will everyone live in fear of the Gangs, Mafias and Cartels (including the Unions who swung the pendulum far from doing what is good for workers).
You all know how to contact me. You can all type and you can all make your comments on all the newspaper and blog sites throughout the US and the world.

His departing statement [was], “remember, I offered you an olive branch.” That message was a month before these guys hired a Hispanic Gang Member from El Modena (Orange) to climb my back fence [
and] [to] kidnapp[ed] Romeo. Since [then], I have had THREE women deliver the exact same message, one to my face at a park inside Big Canyon [What is with her obsession with making grammatically-flawed uses of the phrase "to my face" in this e-mail?]. The message [was], “you’re a marked woman”. The woman in Big Canyon Gated Community stated she was a member of the Newport Beach Republican Women’s [Federated] group[,] and she claimed to be a resident in Big Canyon on the south side of the main entry in one of the townhomes. The others were over the phone[,] and yes, of course[,] I have names[,] and those names have been forward[ed]. Yes, there is a police report filed about Steve Sheldon’s terrorist threat [at] [with the] Irvine Police Department (he’s an attorney[,] [and] [but] the California [State] Bar [Association] has done nothing).During the election[,] Denis Bilodeau passed me on the sidewalk in front of the Senior Center and made this comment to me, “the more you walk[,] the worse it’s going to get.” I laughed then[
,][:] what a wimp, and I am laughing more now because each day[,] he is getting closer to prison bars[,] as are his corrupt connections. That [include's] [includes] newspaper reporters who are part of the corruption[,][:] remember News of the World in London?My mother, who was 90 years old at the time, received terrorist calls about Romeo. How would anyone get her unlisted phone number? Well[,] elected officials and those well[-]entrenched in corruption can gain private telephone numbers [via Google and numerous public records, as the idea of private telephone numbers in this day and age is completely laughable].
I have not stopped[,] and I am not giving up. Think about your grandchildren, nieces[,] and nephews. If you do not work together [
and] [to] take back this Country [and] [to] stop the corruption[,] then will we have freedom[,] or will everyone live in fear of the Gangs, Mafias and Cartels (including the Unions who swung the pendulum far from doing what is good for workers)[.] [?]You all know how to contact me. You can all type[,] and you can all make your comments on all the newspaper and blog sites throughout the US and the world. [Well, here you are on a blog.]
