Vince Hernandez Has No Ideas For Manteca

The race is on and already we are getting more than an ear full of what the current city council incumbents will continue to do for our city and that's more of the same.  The only ideas they now have are 'how do we spin this in such a way that we appear different in our ideas?'

I'm not convinced and neither are the citizens of Manteca.  Vince ran a campaign on 'Heal our City'.  He now runs a campaign on 'Keep our Manteca Pride.'  What pride?  Let's see what we can come up with the pride.

Vince Hernandez is proud of:

1.  The highest taxes in the county more than any other city.

2.  Too many empty new office and business and retail spaces and he wants more of them.

3.  Proud that he got an expensive lighted covered port costing hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have went to the city police department for public safety.

4.  Proud of the fact that our city streets are so full of holes, and so is our budget and financial accounts from reckless spending.

5.  Wants to allow the owners of downtown to make the decisions for how to spend out tax dollars on their properties and not the voters such as how Anderson and Behling want to do.

6.  Continues to allow Lathrop to use our city animal shelter when they should build their own.

7.  Has no clue on public safety and how it operates.

8.  Believes that having a surplus of office space and buildings and waiting it out hoping for an economic recovery.  This is actually helping the recovery of the developers that give money into his campaign.

Clearly we have no ideas here.  It's all more of the same and we can't afford to have more of this.  We need new ideas on the board and we need new blood to usher it in.  John Harris and Vince Hernandez no longer are effective in Manteca and should be voted out of office.  Our economy and position is not good and our taxes are too high and money is recklessly being spent with no regard to the citizens.

Mayoral Candidate Ben Cantu Attacks Councilwoman Debby Moorhead

It's no secret!  The political attacks are now a reality in the race for Mayor of Manteca.  Here's the clincher I found out about the Manteca Bulletin having mentioned that Samuel Anderson is the one that takes it to the floor like an ultimate fighter.  But first, here's a little something from Dennis Wyatt in his first sentence of this article: "Get ready for one of the most polite - and possibly closest - races for mayor Manteca has ever seen."

Dennis Wyatt continues to say, "Regardless of how the race is handicapped at this stage, one thing is for sure: This will be a race involving manners and not throat cutting although Anderson has a reputation for being more than strident."  You can read it all right here. 

"Weatherford, Cantu, and Moorhead are all sincere when they say they respect each other. In fact, they are all members of the same service club - the Manteca Noon Kiwanis. They have disagreed in the past without wielding an ax to bury in the other guy’s back. In other words, they are cordial and don’t throw a fit when they don’t get their way nor do they resort to personal attacks."

Is that so, Dennis?  Really?  Are you SURE???

Huh, well...let's see what we have here.  Could it be, oh, yes, yes, that's who he is...Ben Cantu!  What?  A political ad in the Big Bopper Shopper?  Yes, you can view it here.  Better yet, let me show you the ad.

Wow!  This is really amazing!  What was it that Dennis Wyatt said about 'Weatherford, Cantu, and Moorhead'?  Oh, yes...they "respect each other."  And let's not forget they are all members of the Kiwanis.  Oh, and they don't wield an ax in each others back.  Really?  "Nor do they result to personal attacks."

What does this ad say?  Well, it says "Ms. Moorhead" two times in the same paragraph.  She has "fallen in line", and is lacking...in safety, leadership, focus, response, being fiscal and has NO CULTURE.  Could it be he's pissed off about her running for mayor?  Who cares!  Debby is running because it's going to give Willie the advantage of splitting the votes.

So, Dennis Wyatt says that Samuel Anderson needs to tone it down, keep it straight and ethical and "Regardless of how the race is handicapped at this stage, one thing is for sure: This will be a race involving manners and not throat cutting."  Dennis goes on to say, "Cantu has been shaping up as a formidable candidate as he has been running a low-key campaign."  LMAO!!!

"There is one thing that can totally upset the apple cart of anyone’s version of conventional wisdom and that’s Samuel Anderson."  I agree!  Either way, his running in the race to be on the council is a good decision this year.  I think he'll get it.  He has my vote.  

KEEP RUNNING THOSE ADS BEN...AND DEBBY, YOU NEED TO FIGHT BACK...COME ON, SHOW YOUR LOVE, CUT HIS THROAT!

Manteca Bulletin Playing Tricks Again by Favoring Special Candidates

It's no secret that Dennis Wyatt has used the position he holds as Managing Editor of the Manteca Bulletin to push his agenda or more specifically, his favorites for city council.

Every time there is an election the Manteca Bulletin starts granting more coverage to the candidates that are either the incumbents or those belonging to the good'ole boys club, more specifically, Kiwanis.

Dennis Wyatt stated in a June 26 article that he is giving a space to candidates in order to explain their platforms.  We have yet to see Dennis follow through.

Dennis quotes: "That is what is prompting an ongoing series that starts on today’s front page of having candidates discuss specific issues.

The first subject matter was at the suggestion of Manteca mayor candidate Ben Cantu who wanted to share his ideas about what he believes needs to be done downtown.

That led to a decision to invite all candidates to share their thoughts as to what they would try to do - or wouldn’t do - with specific issues if they are elected in November."

So far, he has given Ben Cantu, Willie Weatherford and Debby Moorhead in three consequtive articles a chance to speak about 'downtown'.

Then Dennis says: "So far we’ve made contact with three of the five mayor candidates to listen to their visions and plans for downtown and have messages into the other two. They will not necessarily run altogether or consecutively. The same offer will be extended to council candidates as well."

This has not happened.  In fact, after contacting Samuel Anderson and Richard Behling, they say no contact has been made to them.  Mr. Anderson stated that once he heard about this article, he contacted the MB just to make sure they had his information updated.  However, no contact has been made yet.

This is an outright lie and it appears that Dennis Wyatt hopes this will go away.  I'm going to make sure the truth is going to be put out front because we have not heard from Anderson, Behling or Perry on this topic.  Dennis is playing favorites again and this is a shame.  The citizens of Manteca deserve better and he should not be printing material that is a lie when in fact he did not contact these candidates regarding this topic.

Liberals Up In Arms In Manteca

It's getting cold in this room. I can sense the liberals trying their best to think.

Since being a loyal customer of the MB and now online, I've seen too much liberalism and left-wing moveon dot org template driven hype to cause illness more than the H1N1 virus.

It's time to see some new blood and conservative values being brought on this site because we're all just tired of listening to those with intellectually bankrupt ideas and theories. There needs to be a balance, not a dominance. This is why I started with posting several of the conservative articles written by the likes of Dick Morris, Randy Thomasson and Michelle Maulkin. The good news it out, Conservatives are making a strong comeback and Obama is starting to look like the man-child he is.

It's good to start getting the feedback and comments from those who spew the most and try to use every trick in the book to get their way, especially the race card. When someone uses this card they are afraid. Afraid of themselves being conservative because others around them are afraid of themselves and thus given up. WE call these closet conservatives.

So, up in arms liberals. Conservative blogging is now going into full force in the MB. I'm reading all of it and I'm going to be dedicated to proper responses. The Manteca Response.

Manteca Bulletin Online Version Infested With Left-Wing Liberals

We're seeing more and more Obama trash Moveon.org operatives taking over online news blogs and infiltrating the comments sections to spew their vial and hate biased plague.

We can only hope that some day these people will be closely watched and monitored because even when we have free speech, it really matters if it were true and most importantly intellectually healthy and beneficial to our society as a whole.  It's about time we put an end to those who seem to use race and bigotry as their weapons of choice to silence those who have opened the door by championing all freedoms to everyone.

This country is seeing more change than ever before and the elections in Virginia, (a clear WIN for Conservatives, Governor, Lt. Gov., and Attorney General) New Jersey (another clear WIN for Conservatives) and NO HOMOSEXUAL Marriage in Maine.  NO to Obama and Pelosi and Reid.  No to liberals and no to socialism and homosexuals.  It appears that phony-nomics are soon to be out the door. 

Conservatism is on the rise again and this time I hope we all learned our lesson to never give up and to continue to delete liberalism and socialism and send them to Mesopotamia or the mesosphere. 

It's a shame that NY-23 went to a Democrat, but in a way I'm happy it did.  It's a slap in the faces of ALL Republicans and for the Conservative base to continue to get rid of all those RINO's and liberals we don't want or need in the Republican party.  It goes to show you the spies we have within that are there to use name only to get on the ballot and then switch allegiances.  The NY Republican candidate was clearly unaccepted and the party needs to be hit upside the head in order to get back to business, just like a dog in training.  Newt is old news and so are the other moderates.  We don't need them and it's time to take these next two years to clean house.  Let's get rid of them all.

Merry Christmas To All

Hello to everyone! It's been a while since my last posting and it's been a while since I spoke about the Manteca Bulletin. What's going on?

Well, I sort of took a vacation and got out of Dodge (Manteca). Being single and during this time of year I went overseas for a stint visiting old friends and made a few new ones during the travel.

I also spend time in Texas and New Mexico where I have relatives and I also spend time down south near San Diego, again with family.

I'm back, but this time for a short while, I'm now headed for Lake Tahoe to spend time with some friends at a cabin on the lake, or near the lake. They say we can walk to it across the street, so I guess that means there are no lake front or beach front properties in Lake Tahoe, I don't know. I haven't been there in over 15 years and they say the entire place is very different now. I'll be sure to write about it and take some snaps, too.

The hard part is getting there. I hate the snow when traveling. I'm leaving this afternoon and I should have some clear road ahead of me. Oh, I'm taking the bus, but I'm still frightened somewhat because I've heard of bus accidents during this season. I guess I should stop acting like a baby and take it all in and enjoy the time away.

I have lots to talk about when I return especially about the article Dennis wrote about Proposition 8.

Enough of me, I'm off to Lake Tahoe for the rest of this year. I have my cold weather clothes with me packed and extra change just in case I need to buy some new ones, warm clothed items.

So long Manteca, I won't miss you, but I'll be back after the new year. In the meantime, every one of you have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. God bless you all.

PG&E Donates To Homosexual Activists Against Prop 8 Including Steve DeBrum And Jack Snyder

I'm not going to discuss this one too much because it is obvious that Jack Snyder and Steve DeBrum have hidden their intentions to the voters by filing late to avoid any voters to change their minds on the absentee ballots. This is called a trick and since it's close to Halloween, I find it interesting that the trick is on us and the treat is on them.

Pacific Gas and Electric uses what they call 'shareholder' money in campaigns, but most people who are PG&E customers see it as 'ratepayer' money.

Steve DeBrum lists on his website that he is a member and Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus at St. Anthony's Parish in Manteca. However, the U.S. Bishops Committee on Marriage and Family and the Knights of Columbus are spearheading Proposition 8 in California. Yet, Steve DeBrum continues to accept homosexual activist money from PG&E who is against Proposition 8 and for the defeat of family marriage and has donated $250,000.00 for the defeat of Proposition 8.

These two men who claim to be honorable are actually HORRIBLE!

They need to do the honorable thing and give back the money and repent to Manteca citizens. What a lie and full-out trickery just like a den of thieves. All this to retain their seats on the council.

My vote goes for Samuel Anderson, again. He's the ONLY candidate that openly supports marriage for one man and one woman and Proposition 8. It is amazing how the ministers and preachers of Manteca don't do anything about this. Where are they? If you don't speak out against these two, then all of YOU are hypocrites just like them. I'll be sure to keep an eye out on the clergy in Manteca on this issue. I'll post you my update about the ministers later on.

How I Would Describe An Obama Presidency

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our president.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

The old rancher said, 'When your driving down a country road, and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle''.

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumbass put him up there to begin with'.
