Dana Rohrabacher Is Dirty R. SCOTT MOXLEY DECEMBER 19, 2013   LEAVE A COMMENT 9 Share Tweet When Congressman Dana Tyrone Rohrabacher moved into a four-bedroom, four-bathroom, million-dollar Costa Mesa rental home on April Fool's Day 2010, the immaculate, 6,300-square-foot property could have been featured in a glossy real-estate magazine.

When I realized this was a red county turning blue, I was relieved. But apparently...a bunch of people still think 1980s were the best in the West. Mr. Rohrabacher is a road block to 21st century change, and doesn't stand for dissension. He has not said hello to his constituents in awhile.  Dude works for Russia. I realize that's completely in style for people who don't like this country and wa...
