OC GOP Endorsement Committee Backs Trung Nguyen Over Andrew Do For GG Council
Posted by: Jubal | 08/15/2008 4:21 PM
The OC GOP Endorsement Committee met last night to consider endorsement applications from several local government candidates -- including Janet Nguyen's Chief of Staff Andrew Do and Janet bete noir Trung Nguyen. Both men are running for an open seat on the Garden grove City Council.The Endorsement Committee unanimously endorsed Trung Nguyen, but what's most interesting about their decision is why none of them support Do.
Committee member Kermit Marsh asked the same question of every candidate: how long they have you continuously lived in the jurisdiction in which they are running, and what was the last time you were a member of a another party?
Welcome To Garden Grove!
Andrew's told the committee he hadn't lived in Garden Grove for very long. In fact, he re-registered from Santa Ana to Garden Grove less than a month ago, on July 18, 2008. His wife is still registered in at their home in Santa Ana. Andrew's new voting address is a small two-bedroom house in Garden Grove owned by someone else.
Ironically, in 2006 Janet Nguyen ally (and current member of her county staff) Nick LeCong pulled papers to run for Garden Grove council, but withdrew when word got out he didn't live in Garden Grove.
Andrew's explanation was he had been trying too buy a house in Garden Grove for the last six months, but potential purchases had fallen through. Fine, but even if he'd succeeded in buying a house in Garden Grove six months ago, it's still a little presumptuous to run for city council.
Are You Now, Or Have You Even Been, A Member of the Republican Party?
Regarding Kermit's query as to whether he'd ever been a member of another party, Andrew responded that he'd switched from Republican to Democrat in 1989 because he didn't feel the OC GOP welcomed people "like him." Huh? The OC GOP didn't welcome Vietnamese-Americans? That apparently went over real well with the Endorsement Committee.
Andrew Do told the committee he re-registered as a Republican in December 2005.
As far as I've been able to determine so far, that's not the case. Do re-registered from Republican to Democrat in July of 2002, and then re-joined the Republican party in December of 2005. I have a call into Andrew to see if he can shed light on this.
That didn't help Do's case, but what really made the difference in tipping them unanimously for Trung was his history of volunteering time and effort for the Republican Party. Do's involvement, on the other hand, was limited to helping out Tony Rackauckas's campaign in 2002 and Janet's supervisor campaigns.
The full OC GOP Central Committee will vote on the Endorsement Committee's recommendation this coming Monday night. Obviously, the party endorsement would be a major boost for Trung.
Impact?
Heretofore, Andrew Do had been viewed by observers (including myself) as the front-runner for the open council seat. He's chief-of-staff for Sup. Janet Nguyen, his campaign is being managed by a top-flight consultant who just won two central OC races in the last 18 months, and he'll presumably be able to raise a sufficient warchest.
He also has acquired a reputation at the county for being a highly effective chief-of-staff. The universal consensus in what Hall of Administration is that if it weren't for Andrew Do, the wheels would come off the Janet Express.
Plus, it's highly unlikely Trung will be able to pour the kind of personal money into his GG council race that he did into his supervisor bid, and there's just sort of a used aura about his candidacy.
However, I was not previously aware Do had only just moved into Garden Grove -- and just barely it seems. Since his wife still lives in Santa Ana, one has to wonder how much time he actually spends in the room (or sofa) he's presumably renting in Garden Grove.
Central OC voters are accustomed to carpetbaggers at the legislative level, but as Tom Umberg discovered in 2007, they don't cotton to it at the local government level. Voters like their councilmembers to be from their city -- especially in older, medium-sized cities like Garden Grove. Ask Carol Rudat how moving into Orange just in time to register and run for council worked out.
Trung is already a member of the Garden Grove School District Board of Trustees, and the carpet bagger will likely take a toll on Do at the polls. As to whether it will overcome Do's other advantages -- or negate the vulnerabilities Trung will get hit on -- we'll have to see.


Andrew's DoNE
Andrew's Gone? Back to his wife's Santa Ana home?
Anndrew Do is just an opportunist and a poor one at that. He has done absoilutely nothing for the GOP cause, deciding to jump the Dem ship when he sees no future there. He was a big Bill Clinton supporter back in the days but got nothing out of it.
Few people know Do in Garden Grove, nor does he has any real credentials in this city -- No commitment, activities, or roots whatsoever. His name ID is low and he has a reputation as a whiner and a shrill in the Viet community. The very best he'll do in a very crowded field is coming in at a very distant third after Steve Jones and Trung Nguyen -- both office holder IN Garden Grove. Not close and no cigars.
As for Gilliard and Crew, they'll just take Do's hard earn money and won't show much for it. This city council business is a very different type of race with different dynamics.
Let's see. Trung has a bankruptcy and he photo-shopped himself into a photo with the Governor in his last race, which probably cost him the election. He is also reportedly broke from his last race and his various lawsuits.
Do is a carpetbagger, but he has plenty of money and know-how.
I would say advantage Do.
Please,
Yeah, right. Do will need LOTS of his money because few people know him. The guy never ran for any office and has NO roots in Garden Grove, not even a tenacle other than a room he just rented.
The guy has "know how"? More like don't know how. His name is on the ballot now and he can't go around spewing his filth without consequences. He's fair game. He'd better shape up and behave like an adult or he'll get the same filth thrown right back at him, and there's plenty in Do's background. Can't hide behind Janet Nguyen playing the victim catrd any more.
Do is not only a carpetbagger, but also a blatant opportunist. Check out this guy's voter reg. I would not be surprised if he's going to chant Obama's name if Obama get into the White House. He's done it with Bill Clinton before. Do will come in a distant third if he's lucky.
Is the committee gong to endorse Stve Jones automatically since he is the incumbent? Im asking because he was appointed by twoi democrats Rosen and broadwater. Also what abouhis votes on term limit changes, eminent domain abuse, water rates etc?
Please tell me that we won't have endless lawsuits again if this vote is close with Trung?
Didn't Trung move from Irvine into his mother's GG house just to run for School Board? And didn't Do grow up in GG and go to grade school and high school here? So whose is the carpetbagger now?
Message to the Real and Current Carpetbagger Andrew Do,
Clean your own carpet and worry about your own little campaign. There are numerous candidates in this Garden Grove City Council race and you are a no-namer who needs to get his name ID up with the voters. You need to build your own name instead of trying to tear other people down so that you can step on their shoulders.
You rightly did not get the GOP endorsement because in your heart and mind, you are not a Republican, but a Democrat. Your actions and words tell all of us that.
Remember that if you throw dirt at other people, just look at your own hand and also be prepared to receive the same dirt coming back at you. Stop mimicking from your boss Janet Nguyen with the bad habits of dirty campaigning and start a new page for yourself.
Andrew Do is actually a Democrat but had to re register in order to work at the 5th Floor.
How is Trung Nguyen going to pay for another campaign?
Isn't he still in debt from his campaign for supervisor?
What about his recent bankruptcy?
Doesn't Trung owe a lot of legal fees to Janet Nguyen after suing her all the way up to the supreme court over the course of several months?
When is Trung going to pay up?
I heard the endorsements committee didn't even discuss any of these before taking a vote.
Anon,
Who cares as to how Trung Nguyen takes care of his debt. His "recent" BK 12 years ago? He's a current elected and he's one of the two front runners for the GGCC (Councilman Steve Jones is the second).
Isn't Janet Nguyen, Andrew Do's boss, in the hole for nearly 100K?
Isn't Andrew Do a political fraud who hasn't done anything for the GOP, but was a Dem from 1989 until December 2005?
Ins't Janet Nguyen's mother and family members defendants in over half a dozen lawsuits for financial fraud and refusal to pay debts?
Isn't Andrew Do a one-month resident one Garden Grove who just moves into an empty room?
Isn't Andrew Do a failed lawyer who can't figure what he wants to do and get ahead in the legal field? Wasn't he a criminal public defender, a deputy DA, and then a so-called private attorney? Now, he's a political hack and water carrier for an immature Janet Nguyen? Sounds more like a man going thru mid-life crisis.
When is Andrew Do gonna come clean on all of these issues?
I heard the endorsement committee did not discuss all of the above issues but it has heard enough to give Andrew Do the reject button.
Trung Nguyen hasn't answered a lot of questions and he continues to be lampooned over his photoshop moniker and his Al Gore-like abuse of courts.
It would be embarrassing for the GOP to put their full endorsement behind this guy.
I was pleased Garden Grove School Board Member Trung Nguyen received the recommendation of the early endorsement committee for his hard work and dedication to low taxes and efficient government and his proven record of fiscal responsibility on the GG School Board.
It should be pointed out that unlike the posters on this blog, Trung was nothing but positive about his opponents. Andrew Do and Matt Harper on the other hand each tried to attack Trung Nguyen at points in the meeting. All of the concerns and tough questions of Andrew Do came from the early endorsement committee.
Apparently the board had some real concerns about Andrew Do. When asked by the committee chairman, Westminster City Councilman Kermit Marsh, how long he had lived in the city, it was revealed that Do had moved to Garden Grove only 2 days before the filing deadline for city council. Do's total residency of slightly over a month set off a series of questions from the committee that revealed Do had changed his political party back and forth in his efforts to land jobs.
Committee member and former OC Superior Court candidate Nancy Padberg, took offense to Do referring to himself as a former DA when in fact Do was only a Deputy DA. She also asked if he had ever done any political volunteering for someone he did not eventually receive a job from. Do responded that he had never volunteered for any campaign that he did not receive a job from, he still had not sold his North Tustin/Santa Ana home and that he was only a deputy DA.
Trung Nguyen was supported by all of the GOP early endorsement committee members present, even longtime Janet Nguyen supporter Valerie Dickenson. Andrew Do and Charles Mitchell received no votes in support. The committee pointed out how long Trung has worked for our local candidates, registered voters and led by example as an elected official.
Since 2000, he worked in support of many campaign including McCain 2000, Bill Jones, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michelle Steele, even Janet Nguyen (2004). On former Assemblywoman and current California Senior Services Director Lynn Daucher's campaign, Trung Nguyen worked day and night. He supported Mitt Romney, and is serving as an alternate delegate for Sen. McCain 2008.
He also works daily with and in support of Assemblyman Van Tran (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008) plus worked diligently for registration drives from 1999 until present.
It is because of the efforts of Trung Nguyen, Assemblyman Tran and several other Viet electeds, that the GOP now has such a strong voice in Central Orange County and we can challenge the tax-and-spenders like Sanchez, Solario and Correa.
Early Endorsement Committee members were already convinced by the time Trung Nguyen started talking about how his campaign revolves around cracking down on crime and graffiti, spending city dollars efficiently and never raising taxes.
Has anyone seen the new photo of Trung on stage at Saddleback standing right between McCain and Obama?
I guess Santa Ana resident Andrew Do really wanted this GG city council race endorsement. Kermit Marsh, can we ask him to get a endorsement from Dem's central committee instead......for Santa Ana council seat?
I happened to see Andrew Do this weekend and talked with him about his "carpetbagging status" and who's couch he is sleeping on in Garden Grove. (Yes, I can be a little confrontational.) He calmly explained to me that he had been trying to buy a house in Garden Grove for the last six months because he now has a Business on the edge of GG and - as he did when he worked in the DA office he likes to live close to where he works.. so the story goes that the house he has been trying to buy has fallen out of escrow three times. Why? because the assessed valuation keeps coming in at lower numbers and it falls out of escrow. So he has set up two additional escrows. Obviously you cannot move from Santa Ana yet if you don't have your home in GG.
I had a set of circumstances when I bought my home that turned into a four month escrow so I can understand how this could happen.
He also showed me his cell phone and the number of calls he had placed in response to Matt's call but has been unable to reach Matt (there were several calls where did try to reach Matt) so he could explain this to him.
He told me that he had grown up and lived in Garden Grove and gone to school there for 16 years and now that he owns a business on the border of GG and Stanton; he wants to 'come home' to GG.
He seemed very forthright about this and I had no cause to doubt him. That he re-registered as a Republican in 05, could possibly mean he just got smarter.
Welcome to a newer Republican. This does not detract from anything Trung Nguyen has done in GG or OC.
Let's just hope Trung has learned his photoshop lesson and that doesn't happen again.
Yeah, I have heard all the sad stories about poor Andrew Do ie. sofa in GG room is so uncomfortable, today's lenders are unfair/too strict and the GG home sellers are asking too much for their low valued homes. He also complained his wife being not so gung- ho about moving from Santa Ana..........
Andrew, get a cold drink of water and stop blaming others for your problem! Solution: don't run for the GG city council because no one is forcing you to run despite of all these obstacles!
Andrew "got smarter" because he re registered as republican after being a democrat for 16 years?.........it took him 16 long years?
Andrew wants to come home as a GG council man! Is this how and WHEN one "return to his/her home" when there is a open seat in the council government?
cra republican - I normally don't respond to you and I know I will regret making this exception...however the problem has not been Mr. Do's. It has been the home financing industry that has caused the three escrows to carry on for all these months. Doesn't it count that he lived in GG for 16 years and went to school there? Well, I guess I know YOUR answer for that because you are a Trannie.
Anon at 3:53 p.m.
I put a call in to Andrew's cel phone on Friday, and he called me back that evening. Unfortunately, it was on my cel, which has been on the fritz, and I was in the midst of the phone replacement stuff. In any case, I called Andrew back this afternoon, and left a message for him.
I don't know how many times Andrew called me. My cel only showed the one call. And I'm easily reachable via e-mail.
In any case, thanks for the info.
Well...........was Andrew Do a inexperienced or just turned 18 year old FIRST TIME buyer? I guess not because he already owns his home in Santa Ana.
If he couldn't buy the house he wanted for any reason he should have waited until the next election AFTER at least getting both of his feet wet!
My point is dear annon. why would Do wants to run so badly without meeting or establishing minimal residency requirement? Does Andrew think our voters are REALLY DUMB?
Shame on you Andrew Do! Let me help you to establish your name ID...why don't you run under the new name, how is ZORRO? You will have better chance of winning.
Trung defeat Do by 70 point in latest poll. Poll is accurate - just ask Dina.
CRA Republican:
As a right wing Republican, I agree with you that Andrew Do has switched political parties quite often in the past fifteen years and his political allegiance does raise concerns. However, I am also curious to know if you have seen him showing this trait on issues. I hope you can cite examples of his indecisions. Please include only relevant issues, not personal ones.
Here is the bottom line from what I gather: City of Garden Grove will most likely experience a reduction in revenues from the overall economic downtown in the near future; it cannot afford to bring in candidates who lack the knowledge and experience. The city needs candidates who can make a positive impact and contribute solutions to the future fiscal situation. With that in mind, I have to give much stock to Garden Grove CRA’s endorsement of Andrew Do and Bill Dalton. The Committee must have seen the potential in these individuals who best represent the city’s interests.
As for Andrew Do’s popularity, I asked around and found that he does contribute to his community in a positive way. One of his major contributions is the organizing of the Tet parade held on Bolsa. I understand that there has not been one since he stopped leading it. Whether this sort of volunteerism holds the same value as grass root interaction is debatable, volunteer work is the same altogether. This sort of contribution does not show him to be the selfish type as people claim. From what I have been hearing is that it is this sort of behind the scene interaction with local city officials that actually helps Andrew work better with the incumbent City Council officers; hence strong support from present local officials. Please see www.andrewdo.com.
I do agree with you that Andrew Do may be using his past ties to possibly help his election. However, all past, present, and future governmental candidates have to invest their personal time and resources to show commitment and cash in on their volunteerism to seek support. How is Andrew Do being more of an opportunist than any other candidates? In addition, if a candidate had invested his/her time in the community, would he/she not try to reap the reward through whatever support? If not, this person lacks the initiative to accomplish his/her goal. Would this person have the drive to further the city’s cause? I do not think so. So, everything being the same, Andrew Do is doing what everyone else is doing. Maybe the unsuccessful ones are simply jealous and disparaging his reputation through smear.
Now, let’s get to the crux of your view, if not Andrew Do, whom do you recommend as a viable candidate who can help to lead this city in time of financial downturn?
Billy, where have you been the last 2 dacades? GG chapter cra endoresement was a mere "home made deal" from Janet's own family members and her appointees whom are all members of the GG cra!
Where can you find the positiveness of Andrew Do when his heart is boiling to steal city's official title only to have it to be used in his future references column?
Billy, talk about Do's volunteerism? Andrew Do has never registered one single republican nor has contributed any money to our party!
Do was busy at Tet festivel.. yes, but unfortunately at the food booths! He was making his tummy happy.
"Reaping award"? Who is going to give this famous carpet bagger Andrew Do an award ?.....for leaving the rest of his family in real home in Santa Ana and sneaked into a GG converted garage room sofa?
I'd called code enforcement for that special award he truly deserves!
Sure, Andrew Do can mandate great savings to the city when he replaces all our city office furnitures with used sofa sets picked up from swap meet near his Santa Ana home.
Billy Boy,
Andrew Do is a political opportunist and a fraudster for the following reasons:
1) Do is a Carpet Bagger who just moved in GG two days beofre filing deadline.
2) Do never campaigned for any Republican candidates, other than the ones he landed a job with.
3) Do was a long time Democrat who DID campaigned for the Clintons and decided to switched to the GOP in 2006 because he now believes that he has better oportunities, not that he believes in the GOP and what it stands for.
4) When Do participated in the Tet Parade, the Organizing Committeee ran into a 15 K debt that took several years to pay off. Just ask Janet Nguyen, his boss, who was deliquent with the bills paid to Westmninster.
5) Do has no known or firm political ideals other than to promote himself. It's quite evident based on his lack of involvement or announcement on anything political or Republican.
Do What?:
I thank you for the information. I agree with you on items 1 through 3; items 4 and 5 are disputable. Janet must have given the OK for Andrew to coordinate the Tet Parade. As I understand it, he volunteered his time and this leads to item 5 of self-promotion. He volunteered through the years and never used that as a platform to run for office. Whether he had a chance to secure a nomination then is another discussion in itself. To categorically dismiss his volunteerism is simply emotional and therefore unfair.
I am curious to know if Andrew Do is the first and only Carpet Bagger. From reading other blogs, incumbent officers also relied on the same tactic. Did they receive the same antagonistic treatment as Do? Does not sound like it.
As for campaigning Republican candidates, I don’t know what you call Andrew’s support of Janet? He crossed the political divide and found someone he could share ideological values. Maybe I am unaware of the arrangement between the both of them to comment further but this is what I see.
With everything political out of the picture, mind you that ideology is extremely important, does Andrew Do have the capacity to fulfill this position adequately, and how does he “stack” against others professionally? From reading various sources, Andrew Do’s short coming is his political connection but long on professional background. In this financial downturn where Garden Grove needs every able body in the local government to improve its fiscal standing, will political ideology help the situation on its own. The city needs a professional to address this very problem.
I agree with you that Andrew maybe using this opportunity to further his political career, but really which politician does not. I do not profess to be an expert but the whole point of politics is to align an aspiring politician’s goal with the goal of the district he/she serves and have him/her carry out the political and economic agenda to better the district and in turn reward the person with public praise. I feel that we maybe too ideological and discourage most qualified candidates from serving the community. We need people with ambition, good ideas, and energy to serve us, rather than have idle bodies filling vacancies.
Yes, Andrew may burn us by doing nothing if he wins the position, but remember that his political career may down in flames if he fails to perform what he promises. However, this is not the promotion of Andrew Do. It is more about what Garden Grove can do to improve its current standing. The city has plenty of potential, but the bitter infighting is hurting us. I see the city of Long Beach turning itself around with the waterfront development. I see cities in Los Angeles similar to Garden Grove improving, and they were in worse condition than Garden Grove. I don’t know why Garden Grove cannot do the same.
As for anybody including CRA Republican, please be mindful to laws regarding defamation. As you know that Andrew Do is a lawyer and has his own team of fellow lawyers, I highly recommend anyone not to attack or defame him with false accusations. Don’t think that hiding behind the computer and typing falsehood cannot be caught. Every Internet connect has an unique cyberspace address to a specific home address. You can be traced and tracked down. The fine maybe small but the lawyer fees can set you back, and if you are employed by an entity, you and the entity are both responsible for any possible future lawsuit. I cannot stress enough that this blog is a public forum and can serve as evidence. Please think twice before writing falsehood. Here is the link: http://www.abbottlaw.com/defamation.html.
Billy,
Items Three and Five are facts, not in dispute by the many folks who know this guy, Andrew Do.
Fact is, the Tet Parade went into Red and was delinquent with the debt owed the city.
Fact is also that no-one knows where this guy stand on the issues. He's either all over the map or is a submarine candidate when it comes to issues he espouse. No one seems to know. Do you?Let's be real here, Billy.
Andrew Do may not be the first, or even the last carpet bagger in GG, but he is the most recent and THE most BLATANT. This is not disputable either.
As for your veiled threat about defmation and law suits, pleassseeee tell Andrew Do to either put up with the heat as a public figure and elected offical want-to-be, or get out of the proverbial kitchen. There's plenty of crapola that this guy Andrew Do, his boss, Janet Nguyen, and her so-called advisor, Nick Le Cong, have been spewing falsehoods and lies on the net and over the airwaves.
Remember that with every law suit, there's also a counter suit.
Do What?:
I am not affiliated with Andrew Do; so don't mix me in with him. There are two seats open, what two people do you recommend? In addition, I see that you and the others are so focused on party politics that city matters don't enter the radar screen. What topics should the candidates address to see who have the best grasp of the present condition? Next round of questions should be their solution.
Not once do I hear you and others discuss the heart of the topic, which is ways to improve Garden Grove. Every blog is about personal attacks. How about dissecting a candidate speech or oral presentation and determining the quality of the answer and if they have the ability to carry out their plan? These personal attacks on candidates lead me to question whether you and your organization have a firm grasp of the city’s present situation.
As for the $15K on the Tet parade, is it that much in the grand scheme of things? If the city does not collect from the festival directly, sales taxes from the business generated by the parade should. Garden Grove and Westminster have the largest Viet Namese population outside of Viet Nam, should the cities not show their attribute to get visitors? Try selling that concept to the greater community.
As for threats and lawsuits, I am not the one being attacked and could care less. I am posting it as public information. There is always that fear that someone may be held responsible for their false accusations. I am sure that if Janet and crew stated injurious things, others would already sue them, including you and your crew.
Billy the goat in heat, go ahead tell carpet bagger Andrew Do to use his shining law license to use it to attack our bloggers.....let him!
I would love to shed some light to his dark past to the public once for all!
Billy, you pretend you don't know this Andrew Do guy really well but then you come out with hastily formulated unreliable inside scoop deseperately attempting to defend his weak candidacy in great length......hmmm pretty abnormal for a self pro claiming innocent by- stander and any prudent readers can smell the rotten decaying fish inside the office located in close proximity to the Janet's Fifth Floor.
With your great dismay, we can not support fake republican carpet bagger Andrew Do and you can tell your boss Janet Nguyen that she selected a deeply flawed candidate this time.
Billy, show us some track record of Andrew Do as being a good/valuable republican candidate from his past activities.... this is the only way to have
a valid and constructive discussion for his candidacy.
CRA Republican:
I see that your street talk discussion really fills the air with content. Calling me names now? I think you are a threat to society. I hope your hostile talk does not translate into violence. I am surprise the authority has not identified as a subject. Why the hostility? I hope the candidates you support do not harbor the same emotional instability.
Again, whom do you support for the city council campaign? Just answer that question.
CRA Republican:
All I know I have stated in blogs. You keep talking ill of everyone, so I keep asking for a recommendation for the 3rd or 4th time. That is why I keep asking you for the two candidates to consider. Notice that I have not repeated "his" name in the last blogs.
Again, whom are the two individuals I should research to see if they are worthwhile to vote for? I would appreciate an answer. Please keep your mental and emotional state of mind in check. I would hate to read about you expressing your rage and unhappiness onto others through physcial means.
Billy, a street talk?
Is there a another language spoken at Do's campaign office? There is no hostile talk here but a sincere frustration over your plain fiction-like tale promoting almost non existing conservative values from your candidate.
Again, I do not promote "him". When do you plan to tell me the two candidates you believe in? Just answer that.
Billy...... who do I support for GG city race?
I will support OC GOP endorsed candidate! Guess it right and you might win some prizes!
The more I read your blog, I am more certain you fit the profile of a deranged person who hates others, takes everything personally, and thinks his thoughts are a secret. I can imagine the company you keep.
I don't see any point anybody holding a discussion with you; a discussion is a conversation held by 2 or more persons with rationality and coherence, not some enigma wrapped in riddle held as a secret. This will be my last correspondece to you. Thank you for affirming my first observation of you.
Billy, do not tell me you don't know who has been endorsed by our OC GOP....or you you really don't know because you are a Democrat trying to penetrate and confuse our good republican readers here!
Do you need OC GOP's phone number?
Trung, right? I keep reading his name. Who else? Thanks.
Billy, have a nice weekend and I will buy you lunch when we meet.
Billy,
The issue with Andrew Do is quite simple and straight forward. The guy is an opporpotunist and a political fraudster. Why so, you may ask?
Here it is for all to see:
1) Do Carpet bagged right into GG TWO days before the filing deadline. Although claiming deep roots in GG, Do has not been involved at all with GG community activities. If not a resident, then did he serve on any local boards or commissions? What are his ties to this city? I see none. What is this guy's claim to GG other than attending high school there over a quarter of a century ago? Taking advantage of an opportunity is one thing, but to do it by sleight of hand and claiming something that you are not, just smacks of opportunitism and dishonesty.
2) Do has been, most of his adult life, a Democrat, and as recently as 2006. Sure, people can change party affiliation when they see the light. But judging from Do's past conduct, he's claiming now to be a Republican because it is politically beneficial to him. Why would he do that? Well, here are at least three indicators that point to his political sleight of hand: 1) He's been an active Dem for most of his adult life, but also switched back and forth with his partisan affiliation when doing so suits him; 2) Do never campaigned or helped any GOP candidate other than those who gave him a job; and 3) No one seems to know where he stands or what he has done with the issues that Republicans, or even people in GG care about. Do you know?
This is just the opener. As a candidate for public office, Andrew Do needs to come clean on these issues and many others. This is called the public vetting process.
Do What?:
Thank you for the info and nicely put. Will definitely considers the points.
Dear Billy:
You have found out what I have found out about CRA(Z) Republican. He has no credibility. I repeat, for your information, that he is a long time "Trannie" who is devisive and rude. He posts wild accusations with no facts to back them up. He/she (?) has continued long "conversations" with people just dragging people through the mud and insulting them. He/she lacks the ability to correctly predict the outcome of elections, recounts and polls.
When Trung Nguyen ran for 1st District Supervisor, CRA Republican predicted that he would win by a landslide. I believe he was reporting "polls" that showed Trung way ahead of his competitors. When Trung "won" and the recount was called for; he predicted he would win the recount. When Trung lost the recount; and the lawsuits started going through various courts, he predicted with regularity that Trung would win and we would all be crying in our soup if we supported Janet Nguyen. When Trung lost in the courts we didn't hear a "well I guess I was wrong" from him. Instead he claimed the recount was rigged and the courts were rigged.
When Janet Nguyen ran against Dina Nguyen in the June primary, for months he incorrectly predicted a landslide victory for Dina. He quoted erroneous polls claiming an overwhelming support of Dina. When Janet won 97% of all the precincts, he didn't have much to say. Didn't even congratulate Janet. Just continues to rail on her and anyone associated with her.
So Billy, join the throngs (my "polls" LOL tell me that 97% of the people on this blog consider CRA )Z) republican a crackpot) of people who regularly know not to answer or engage this "CRA Republican" in conversatonal blogging because he/she makes no sense.
Sometimes I count this person as a godsend to the "other side" because he makes his side look so ridiculous with erroneous polls and predictions and insults. He does the Janet Nguyen camp more good than harm in reality.
Anonymous:
I understand that the blog serves as a means to spread the “truth” about any subject matter to the best of someone’s ability, but I see (I will not mention any name in fear of my safety) that this individual attacks everyone, like a rabid you know what. From the start to end, the individual has been belittling everyone. What gets me is why he attacks with such anger and hatred. I really don’t want to be near this individual in any capacity because I feel that he has unresolved personal issues and may project it through violence.
He sounds as if people know him. Do they know if this individual (you know whom I am referring to – I am surprised he does not sign on as “Travis Bickle”) owns weapons of any kind? Or erratic emotional state of mind? They should think twice in his company.
When you use the term “other side”, I hope you mean personally. I hope this person is blogging on his/her own behalf. I don’t see any reason to keep such a person on the payroll or even on a volunteer basis. He is a liability in every sense.
His action poorly represents the Republican values. A “Trannie” or not, having him or his like sets not only the local Garden Grove Republican party back a couple of decades but also the party as a whole as well, especially our proud city.
Anon @1:21 PM,
Janet Nguyen and her people are doing a pretty good job making fools out of themselves. Check in with the staff on the 5th Floor who cares to go anon. They don't need CRA Republican to help out. A buffoon is still a buffoon, even if you put makeup on the buffoon.
Janet Nguyen needs to go to charm and courtesy school because she is neither.
ANON:
ARE YOU SURE ANON IS A.D.? HOW UNPLEASANT IS J.N.?
Billy, why are you speaking with a split tongue?
There are clear/valid reasons why we don't support carpet bagger Andrew Do in this race. Tell Janet to find a better candidate next time.
Anon., do you truly believe I am helping Janet?
Actually I am. I want to see Janet to improvement in her personal character/quality to earn decent respect from her constituents.
Janet has angered and disappointed many citizens with her immaturity and flawed decisions made from her supervisor seat.
Anon., one last thing, you are telling Billy to pay "no attention to cra republican" but it seems you are working in over time to read all of my postings with great effort.
I won't ask you for the real reason but I am just happy that you are one of my many followers in this Red County blog.
Janet not my friend.
Andrew not my friend.
The world against me.
When will the space aliens come to take me home?
I guess I have followers and cra republican wannabes.... soon I will be able to rent my famous handle name.
