Yet Another - GOPer Fingered for Dirty Trick...
Investigation Into O.C. Letter Focuses on Congressional Candidate
Tan Nguyen, who is running against Loretta Sanchez (Loretta is sooo gonna kick your ass you duuph :rofl:), is questioned about mailer seen as intimidating to Latinos.

A state attorney general's investigation into letters apparently designed to suppress Latino voter turnout in Orange County for the upcoming election is focusing on the campaign of Republican congressional candidate Tan Nguyen, according to people familiar with the inquiry.

Nguyen, who has made halting illegal immigration part of his platform, is running an underdog campaign to unseat Rep. Loretta Sanchez, who represents Santa Ana and is Orange County's only Democratic member of Congress. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-letter19oct19,0,6413307.story?coll=la-story-footer

1. Ironic.
An immigrant or child of same, from a class of immigrants that have faced their own hard times, in the US, with discrimination, gets involved in this.

Slobbering power junkies do the strangest things.

2. That's one screwed up letter
"You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time," the letter, written in Spanish, says.

:wtf:

But hey, that's fine.

Let's let only native Americans vote. I have no problem with that!

enough to study what the truth is and then get off work in time to go vote.

Thanks to all good people who will help them learn the truth.

Let no one who is eligible be refused.

Arriba!
