You might be familiar with CA-46 from "The OC" and other fictional accounts of Orange County California. While those fictions serve to entertain, they hide a shocking truth about traditionally conservative Orange County. There are LIBERALS there. Lots of them.
One of those Liberals is threatening to tear the delicate dry-clean-only fabric of O.C. society. She is Debbie Cook.
Debbie Cook is the Democratic Candidate for the district. Follow me below the fold for a listing of her radical ideas. These are ideas, according to do-nothing incumbent Dana Rohrabacher that are just too wacky for Orange County. (Hint: Her ideas involve driving less)
Okay. I'm snarking. Debbie Cook is a great choice for Orange County and the little bit of LA County that CA-46 includes.
This is from a mailer Dana Rohrabacher has sent to people in the district.
Debbie Cook:
People need to make a decision to drive less and change their eating habits.
Dana Rohrabacher's response: Debbie Cook holds
extreme liberal positions.
The Congress man says that these ideas are too radical for Orange County.
I'm paraphrasing Congressman Rohrabacher above. The flyer got shredded somehow....
Can you believe it? Drive less? How can a red blooded American ever consider driving less? Next thing you know she'll be suggesting that we save money!
Change our eating habits? My, wife, my doctor, my kids, the CDC, my health insurance company and the cereal box in front of me all say I should change my eating habits, but god damned if a radical liberal tells me to change them, then bring on the diabetes and the heart attacks!
It's beef for breakfast every day now. And not that local grass fed crap. I want fresh Kobe beef flown in from Japan every day!!!!!!
If any of my food comes from fewer than 100 miles away I will pour crude oil on it!
Don't go stuffing your liberal ideas down the throat of the O.C., Mayor Cook. Those liberal ideas might play in hedonistic Huntington Beach, or "Surf City" as you people call it. Any town that would choose a mayor who wants to save gas is obviously not part of the "Pro-America" portion of Orange County.
***
Cook is very strong on energy.
She is a believer in the concept of "peak oil."
Most importantly though, she understands that acting for energy independence now can prevent a future crisis.
Anyway, vote for Cook.
