| We're 
coming up to an election year and these buzzards figure that Democrat Senator 
Barbara Boxer may be on her last legs and is dragging her scraggly carcass across 
the wasteland that this state has become. So, they circle and watch and slobber 
as they wait to taste more decaying Democrat flesh. 
 Unfortunately, these 
buzzards aren't a very bright lot and they don't really know why Schwarzenegger 
won, or if they do, they're ignoring the real reason: he got the white vote.
 
 It appears that these dumb buzzards have been blinded to reality by focusing their 
beady little eyes on their own press releases about Hispanic this and Hispanic 
that and figure they need a Hispanic buzzard to win in the state. Enter stage 
left, while pretending it's stage right, professional Mexican Senora Rosario Marin. 
Senora Marin has apparently also gotten a whiff of this decaying flesh and has 
decided that she is the right ethnicity at the right time for the pandering GOP 
bigs and has thus announced that she wants to be the GOP candidate to take on 
Boxer. Before she can do that, however, Marin has to win the Republican primary 
by defeating former California Secretary of State Bill Jones, former Los Altos 
Hills Mayor Toni Casey, and former Republican state Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, 
who all also want to go a few rounds with Boxer and who haven't gotten the message 
that the GOP bigs want to anoint a Hispanic.
 
 Marin probably figures she'll 
get White House and Bushpublican support because she served for a time in the 
do-nothing-minority-in-the-window job of Treasurer of the U.S. under the present 
Presidente Bush. Great White Father Bush always knows how to put his pet minorities 
in the front window, and what more visible place to put a Hispanic than in a position 
where she signs our moolah. Check some of your folding green stuff, if you still 
have any left after the pro-Third World immigrant, fiscal liberals, including 
Bush (yes, he is), grabbed most of it from you to pay for freebies for illegal 
aliens, and you may see Marin's signature. Are you impressed? No? Well, let me 
lay it out the way the Bushpublicans want you to see it:
 
 Poor little Mexican 
immigrant girl--sort of a brown version of the matchbox girl--who came to the 
U.S. when she was fourteen years old not knowing a word of English. Then, because 
of her hard work, she made good. "Why, boy, that's the 'Merican dream. She 
just pulled herself up by her boot straps. Then, when President Bush needed someone 
for that most critical job of signing our money he realized that Marin was the 
most qualified person in the whole country, by gum, so he convinced her to go 
to Washington." "Ah," ask the cynics, "exactly what qualifications 
are required to put your name on a block of metal used to print money?" "Well," 
answers the choir, "if you're a Bushpublican, the most important qualification 
is apparently that you be a member of a racial/ethnic minority group, and, these 
days, it doesn't hurt to be a Hispanic immigrant." Say, did we mention that 
Presidente Bush's brother JEB, who is the governor of Florida, is married to a 
Mexican woman and has kids who the first President Bush once called "those 
little brown ones over there"?
 
 Marin's web site milks the immigrant 
angle even more as it tries to stretch Arnold Schwarzenegger's halo over Marin 
based on the fact that they're both "immigrants," as though the essence 
of Schwarzenegger is his immigrant status--it isn't. "Golly, Mrs. Cleaver, 
it makes you want to puff up your chest, pledge allegiance to the flag, and sing 
a verse of America the Beautiful, doesn't it?" Well, maybe not. Of course, 
Schwarzenegger did use the Spanish expression "Hasta la vista" in a 
movie, so maybe Marin's campaign can claim that both Marin and Schwarzenegger 
are alike because of that.
 
 Before being put in the front window signing 
our money, Marin also served as the Mayor of illegal alien infested Huntington 
Park, California, a cockroach of a city if ever there were one, and it is this 
Huntington Park connection that may tell more about Marin than any of the sanitized 
flan being churned out by her campaign machine that seems to be pushing Marin 
as a sort of Mexican immigrant combination Ronald Reagan and Horatio Alger in 
drag. Of course, this is just nonsense but the PR types probably figure most so-called 
conservative Republicans are so afraid of being called racists that they'll quickly 
embrace any Hispanic or other minority who sounds conservative, just to show that 
some of their best friends are.... And, then, these so-called conservatives can 
be expected to begin salivating and become eager to vote when certain code phrases 
and words are used. "Free-market economy." (slobber, slobber). "She's 
an immigrant and we're a nation of immigrants." (slobber, slobber) "She 
supports President Bush." (slobber, slobber) "She's a conservative." 
(slobber, slobber).
 
 Of course, given recent election history--in Houston, 
a white Democrat beat a Hispanic Republican in the mayoral race, and in Louisiana, 
a white Democrat beat a Republican non-white in the gubernatorial race--you'd 
think some of the GOP bigs; even though they're a generally dopey and surly lot 
who mostly seem to be behind the times, would catch on to the fact that the days 
when their unspoken strategy of ignoring white voters in favor of non-white voters 
may be over. You can know that you're in the presence of some of these GOP bigs 
when you hear self-important white guys in suits saying things such as "groovy," 
and "hey bro' let's rap."
 
 Anyway, if you're not one of the slobbering 
set, be careful not to confuse Huntington Park--Serf City--with Huntington Beach, 
which is known around the world as Surf City.
 
 The two Huntingtons are 
only 33 miles apart as the '55 Chevy drives, but they're a million miles apart 
in other things. Huntington Park is a high crime, Los Angeles County, Third World 
slum city. Huntington Beach is a low crime, Orange County, First World non-slum 
city. About the only thing the two cities have in common is "Huntington" 
as the first part of their names.
 
 Demographic reports show that Huntington 
Park is about 98% Hispanic and has an average household income of around $ 27,000. 
According to a report in the Orange County Register on Dec. 11, 2003, 56 percent 
of the adult residents of Huntington Park are illegal aliens. Because most of 
the voting age residents of Huntington Park aren't citizens and can't vote, and 
thus have no official voice in how their city is run, Huntington Park is now being 
used as an example to push the stupid notion that non-citizens--including illegal 
aliens--should be allowed to vote.
 
 The sad reality of Huntington Park 
is that just a few years ago it was a nice city and was mostly full of white citizens. 
And, yes, that's exactly what I intended to write. Nice and white do go together 
in cities, and most nice cities are white. Then, most white citizens were run 
out of town by Mexican illegal aliens. Could this be the future of all cities 
in California under a Senator Marin?
 
 The other Huntington--Huntington 
Beach-- by contrast, is only about 15% Hispanic and has an average household income 
of around $ 81,310.
 
 The following from the September 24, 1999 Dallas News 
may help flesh out Huntington Park and Marin for readers:
 "HUNTINGTON 
PARK, Calif.--Rosario Marin is mayor of what she proudly calls 'the most Mexican 
city outside Mexico.'" "[S]he [Ms. Marin] 
took joy in pointing out the unbroken ranks of Spanish-language stores and restaurants. 
Huntington Park, once a white stronghold, is 98 percent Latino. More than eight 
in 10 of its residents are ethnic Mexicans, many of them undocumented immigrants. "'Can 
you believe it?'" said Ms. Marin, 41. She was wheeling along Pacific Boulevard, 
past a long row of bridal shops that cater to Latinas. 'Look at all those bridal 
stores. Look at them!'"
 On her Web site, Marin is now whining about 
"Senora Boxer" (yep, she actually calls Boxer "Senora"), because 
Boxer is trying to reach out to Hispanics. It seems that Senora Marin wants to 
be the authentico Taco Belle in the race and doesn't want Boxer to cut into her 
Hispanic franchise. This attack on Boxer and other things put out by Marin's campaign 
seem to indicate that Marin's overall strategy is to try to get most of the racist 
Hispanic vote while still appealing to Bushpublican, neo-conservative whites. 
Marin's fear, apparently, is that Boxer, as a liberal Democrat, may naturally 
appeal to enough citizen Hispanics and will take many Hispanic votes away from 
Marin. And, don't forget, about the only thing Marin has going for her is that 
she's Hispanic. And, also don't forget that Marin's base is in Huntington Park 
where, remember, 56% of the people of voting age are illegal aliens and can't 
legally vote for her even if they wanted to.
 
 My guess is that the GOP will 
lose ground it recently gained by the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger if Marin 
becomes the Republican candidate to take on Boxer. And, should Marin actually 
win the election against Boxer, the state of California will have taken another 
step toward becoming more like Mexico and less like the United States.
 
 If 
the GOP buzzards hope to make a meal out of Boxer next year, they'd better start 
watching their flanks, and they'd better start making friends with the birds of 
prey who are eyeing them. There's a new Son of 187 petition now being circulated 
that may energize the same raptors who brought down driver's licenses for illegal 
aliens and former Governor Gray Davis. These hunters aren't passive scavengers 
waiting for something to die a natural death. They grab their political meals 
out of the air in full flight (as they did with former Governor Davis). Senora 
Marin and GOP buzzards who support her are as much prey to the talons of these 
winged avengers of America as was Gray Davis.
