Like Gloria Molina?

They love their political thieves, their telenovela wannabes, their part time mayors, their taxpayer financed cars and rims, their midget community profiteers, their dead weight caucuses, their napping congresswomen, and their cerebrally challenged sister acts. And when one of our own does her job and she does it so well, the Latino community turns on her and says, “Who does she think she is…Henry B. Gonzalez?” It says a lot about the Latino community.

I am sure if you engage with her personally you will be quite impressed. There is nothing superficial about her in the least. She doesn’t remind you she’s the Mayor, and she doesn’t hang out at the Playboy mansion and doesn’t spend 140K for Holiday cards. Maybe she has set the standard for public servants too high, that all the other local politicians are content to just mumble negatively about her. Nevertheless, we are lucky to have her, because character counts, especially in these trying economic times.

Those obscene salaries and benefits paid to Los Angeles City Council members and that part-time Mayor that reek of taxpayer abuse would’ve never been passed had Molina been involved in the process.

The complaints from the Latino Apologist, that because Gloria Molina has no college education she is not qualified to hold any higher public offices in Sacramento, or Capitol Hill fully resonates the superficiality that commands opinions in the Latino community. The content of character, which is widely absent in the vast majority of Latino political representation in Sacramento and DC, resonates loud and clear in Gloria Molina’s public service. She is one of the few positive entities working on the behalf of the Latino community.

You're right, until we as a group can channel our majority into a cohesive body with an agenda that values improving our lot as a group, beginning with a decent education, nothing will ever be accomplished. I have lost count of the meetings I've attended that have degenerated into several different factions, all hollering and wanting to be in control. Sadly, nothing was ever done or addressed. Think back to the meeting in "Milagro Beanfield War" and you'll know what I mean. I have to agree with both you and Molina on this.
