A famed actress is facing backlash in San Franciscos Latino community, after she voiced support for a conservative candidate for California governor.
Maria Conchita Alonso starred in a campaign ad for Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County, a Tea Party favorite who is seeking the Republican nomination.
Donnelly has voiced strong views against illegal immigration and was once involved with the Minutemen Project, a group that patrolled the border with Mexico to catch immigrants coming across.
Politicians and big government are killing our prosperity, pushing welfare costs through the roof and driving our schools into the ground, Donnelly said in the ad.

I'm sure she understands how the free market works and won't be upset. Why should her job creator Lose money just to keep her in the production? I'm sure she understands why a private business would be unwilling to risk a boycott or having to lose money just to subsidize her pay. It would be like welfare or something.

(34,648 posts)A grown woman joining the tea party and calling her fellow Humans illegals. And she sees nothing wrong with it. She can go hang out with that beribboned Victoria Jackson lady and get all pumped up on tea and freedom. I'm done paying her any attention forever.

He has big ones and he's very angry.
What a joke.
Shame, shame on you Maria Conchita. Tell them the truth!
