I was wondering why in the world our blogger Aaron Park would be attacking a good conservative like John Moorlach – and how Park could possibly stomach endorsing the RINO Don Wagner – who is the choice of Curt Pringle and Matt Cunningham.
A friend of Park’s called me last week and told me the sordid tale. Park apparently is mad at Moorlach because Moorlach did not re-appoint a friend of his to a County Commission.
Imagine that. Park’s silly jihad against Moorlach is a petty, selfish one.
Well I don’t care that Park’s buddy did not get an appointment. There are bigger fish to fry. Wagner is propped up by a slew of terrible Special Interests and he will be a reliable vote for Pringle’s ridiculous wasteful spending of taxpayer money.
Pringle is, for example, the high priest of High Speed Rail. It was Pringle that pushed for the horrible waste of money that is the Anaheim ARTIC rail station – a train station no one needed!
Moorlach and Wagner are vying for the 37th State Senate District, which includes part of Anaheim. Of course the powers that be want Wagner to win so he can keep voting for Pringle’s transit schemes.
You can bet that Wagner will support the street car that the Disney Company wants taxpayers to pay for – that will only benefit the Disney Resort.
Two other awful Republicans were elected to the State Senate just last year – Janet Nguyen and Pat Bates. Can we really afford to let Wagner join them?
Park needs to come clean about why he is attacking Moorlach. It is a damn embarrassment. The CRA overwhelmingly endorsed Moorlach and yet there is Park, continuing to attack Moorlach for what amounts to a really stupid reason.
Politics should be about serving the public not about Park’s self-serving friends jostling for power.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! This is SOOOO Much Fun!!!
I have to say, I don’t recall Art’s blog ever being this much fun before.
Just don’t start attacking Naz, A-Ron, or there will be bitter consequences!
I’ll be posting about her new website tonight.
Ouch!
Hi Ben – probably what Moloch is saying right about now! Check back frequently for updates.
Heard that John Moorlach has hired Deborah Pauly. Nothing Don Wagner can do tops that insanity.
Team Moloch is spinning badly
No Aaron I got this intel from a friend of yours and withheld names to keep you out of trouble.
I appreciate that, Art… however, that friend sure in the hell didn’t talk to me! What the hell, its’ politics…
First that’s hearsay, second if he hired Park’s pal these attacks would be over and third we already looked at Wagner’s voting record and it is deplorable.
Art – the soruce for the Deb Pauly “Hire” (she ain’t getting paid) was FIRST HAND at an event. So, Mr. Moloch needs to deal with it or own it. (Like the illegal immigrant tax)
That’s still hearsay. He hasn’t even won yet. Why would he be hiring staff? And why are you introducing more red herrings instead of explaining the vapid it of your attacks?
Deb Pauly was introduced as his Campaign Manager.
There’s these things called campaigns….and you need staff to run them.
And she is very well connected in the community.
She’s a lunatic.
Aaron praised Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez on Facebook today and what she said about Muslims was the same as what Deborah has said.
I am not aaron, and I am not Melissa Melendez. Your comments are entirely irrelevant.
But nice try deflecting. Deb Pauly is a lunatic. Even you were hesitant to admit he hired her up until I clarified it for you. There’s a reason you were hesitant…it’s because she is batshit crazy.
I would say the same thing about Wagner supporter Matt Cunningham.
Since I can’t seem to reply to editor below me – the difference is Moorlach HIRED Pauly. If you fail to see how this is different than I’m afraid there’s no hope for you.
“we already looked at Wagner’s voting record and it is deplorable.”
We can rehash these old debates all you want my friend, but I’ll just direct you to your previous article where you admit that his voting record is perfectly in line with how Republicans vote in the State Legislature. Here’s the comment where you finally admit it:

Every single bill that you claim that Wagner has a “deplorable” vote on, every Republican in the Assembly disagrees with you. You just picked random bills that “sounded” bad to you because you didn’t actually read the issues and understand that you were taking the liberal position. You are falling for the liberal talking points so hard I ought to send you a registration form so you can make it official.
And just so you don’t forget, here are the Republican votes on your “deplorable bills”

Your research is bad, and you should feel bad.
We aren’t going to agree so why don’t you tell me why you’re so enthused by Wagner and why you prefer him over Moorlach.
Because I’m a good Republican, and Wagner represents my interests in a way that I couldn’t be happier with. Have you ever heard him speak? He perfectly explains the Republican positions on things in very eloquent and easy to understand ways – his ability to speak brings strength to the Republicans in the legislature and puts Democrats in their place.
Honest question – have you watched Wagner speak in the Legislature? It’s really impressive and if you want (and if I can find videos) I would love you to see it.
I have but I don’t trust anyone who is associated with Curt Pringle.
That you are making sense like this confuses me, Art.
So can you come to the Naz Namazi fundraiser?
Send me the info and I’ll be happy to post it. Artpedroza@gmail.com.
For his campaign.
Wagner is supported by Pringle and Cunningham and you’re okay with that? All because a friend of yours didn’t get an appointment? Wow.
Learn to read who is writing responses to comments. Aaron isn’t afraid to respond with his own name.
Your deflection game is pathetic. It’s not even subtle.
Still waiting to find out why you’re so taken by Wagner.
Aaron is opposed to anything that resembles conservative. This isn’t news.
And you support using fraud to gain control (and lost despite getting a judge involved). Guess we are even, huh Nikki?
Your previous attacks on Wagner were because he votes too Republican (see: the comments in your piece about Wagner’s legislative record where you admit he is too Republican)
So how in the world can you then describe him as a RINO? Are we living in some bizzaro world where Republicans are RINOS and liberals are Republicans?
I’m genuinely confused, or are you just talking out of our ass again?
No I said he votes stupidly, which he does. If his peers are voting that way then they need to be replaced.
We need legislators who will respect the Constitution, fight to limit government, and oppose taxes and wastes of taxpayer money. Wagner is a total tool for the Special Interests and for Pringle. No thanks!
None of the bills you listed had anything to do with respecting the constitution, fighting to limit government, or opposing taxes and wasting taxpayer money. His votes are incredibly in line with those principles, which is why he is endorsed by the OC Taxpayers and California Taxpayers Associations.
I challenge you to find votes that contradict this…but…your research skills are so pathetic that I venture to say you will just give me more bills that are entirely irrelevant and that every Republican and Conservative supports up and down the state (except for you…of course.)
Is this another one of your brilliant campaign slogans for JM? “Vote for Moorlach! He’ll never vote with the Republican party!”
Again I ask why are you such a rabid supporter of Wagner? Why do you prefer him to Moorlach?
Nice deflection again. I’ll take that as conceding. I’ve explained multiple times why I support Wagner. I’m a good Republican, Wagner is a fantastic Republican – he is a natural fit. His votes in the legislature are exactly what I want to see.
Moorlach is not, I do not like that he has voted to increase his own pension – that very much rubs me the wrong way, especially when he does it while also cutting pensions of others. That’s the height of hypocrisy.
In other words if you are okay with Wagner being a Pringle stooge?
I’ve never seen him makes votes that would appear that he is a Pringle stooge, but I would be open to changing my mind if you could convince me.
What votes has he made that would imply he is a Pringle stooge? Or are you only saying that because Pringle chose to endorse him?
Just look at who is funding his campaign. All Pringle associates. That money comes with a price.
What EXACTLY is that price?
You keep making vague references to Wagner being influenced in the Legislature to vote certain ways, but you make no specifics at all (because you have none)
Wagner has already been in the legislature for 4 years, surely in that time he would have made votes that would indicate he is a Pringle stooge by now, right?
Show me the votes. Otherwise your claims are baseless and a pathetic waste of everyone’s time. Stop being vague, put up or shut up.
We already looked at his votes. You were impressed. I was not. We’re not going to agree on this.
His endorsement of Kring and raising money for Kring was one price Pringle and co have made him pay. It appears he did so willingly. Lucille Kring is a tumor in the crony capitalism cancer culture that has influenced Anaheim for too long.
Clearly John Terry is Wagner campaign staffer. Ask him to deny it.
Art, you should kick Aaron Fat Park off your blog like he was booted from RedCounty over a conflict of interest. At least until this election cycle is over. His posts are misguided and meaningless they offer no real substance and bring the quality of the blog down.
If we’re in the game of changing people’s names why don’t you take a play out of Park’s playbook and call him “Erin Pork”
