Does Manteca Bulletin Need A Changing Of The Guard?

With the current ousting of Paul Mahony Publisher of the Manteca Bulletin for accusations of improper sexual harassment of female employees, one can only imagine, is this the time to start cleaning house and get rid of the Editor of the Manteca Bulletin at the same time?

I agree, we need some new blood because this newspaper is the mouthpiece of the City Council which makes this newspaper be perceived as non-creditable. Last night on Fox40 News we saw Dennis Wyatt in action placing his hand in front of the camera and did not like the fact that some punk* reporter and his camera man were taping him asking some simple questions.  *I'm not saying the Fox40 reporter is a 'punk', this is only used as a metaphor as to how Dennis Wyatt treated this guy who was only doing his job and doing it very well.

Dennis Wyatt on the other hand has been very elusive and with his current writing of articles, many of them should be opinions and the opinions should be articles.  Sometimes he's 'Left' and sometimes he's 'Right'.  Very confusing and definetely not what you want in an editor that writes most of the paper and takes sides all the time.  He should be totally neutral in each case except for when we need to blast the legislator for stealing our local money.

I think it's time now for the owner of the MB to appoint a new editor and make the paper worth while again and become more conservative, it will earn more dollars than it does now and that's what it's all about.  Isn't it?

Manteca Comment Bloggers Committing Editorial Jihad

It's nothing new.  Too often left-wing liberal bloggers attack conservative authors, commentators and those who write opinions.  We see this in yesterday's opinion letter to the editor from Larry Baca.

What gets me is when these liberal attackers continue to assault conservatives when any type of mistake was made, but they never would ever agree to being wrong about their blatent outright lies that trickle down from the Obama administration right to our backyards. 

How's all this hope and change doing for you now?

I find it ironic how this person writes about someone who is a Lt. Commander in the Navy and has never served himself.  He needs to visit www.jihadwatch.org and seek the truth there about those who want to do nothing but kill us all and destroy our country and infrastucture. 

It's all getting to the point where all this editorial Jihad from these left-wing liberal bloggers is just getting too boring and too much of the same.  No capability whatsoever of coming up with ideas or even praising the very protections those who have served that have given them the ability to write their vomit. 

The Manteca Bulletin is getting to the point where its just so damn boring!

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.

Clouded Journalism Caused By Greedy Activist Beliefs

This weekends article written in the Manteca Bulletin disappointed us all. It was a clear and evident attempt at clouding the information of housing activists attempting to turn Manteca into a Welfare Housing district by imposing low income housing in the middle of larger homes in higher end neighborhoods.

I'm going to break it down.

"It is a sad day when those in the middle class look down on the working class." This one and only line in the article standing alone as a sentence and paragraph was designed to obtain sympathy and blame others. This is a tactic of liberal activists who don't have evidence or support for their unpopular activism. How did the Manteca Bulletin obtain this information to write this line? You just can't say it's just a term and means nothing. How does a person look down on another? Why do they do it? Who are exactly 'those'? They were writing specifically on this topic regarding the City of Manteca. It's a slap in the face to all those who are middle class (majority) and many of them, if not all of them are indeed working class, too. Does it seem that all middle class citizens are retired and have money and don't want anything to do with anyone else?

"And if you really think city councils and such can control the economy and marketplace, next time around you’d better vote only for economists although that won’t do you any good." This is simply rubbish! How on earth does he know this? On top of it, who the hell do you think you are telling someone who and how they should vote for? Are you trying to endorse someone specifically? If so, come out and say it.

"The council under California law had no choice but to approve the Winters Colonial Estates as it met all requirements. They also have an obligation to encourage affordable housing." The last line has a KEY word, 'encourage'. It does not mean it's the law, and we have to. It does not. The Federal and State governments have decided that it's up to the individual city municipalities because there they know best and they can decide on how to spend and obtain tax revenues. Because no true research as been obtained by the Feds and State there are no real citations for it to be a legal mandate except to ENCOURAGE municipalities to try to allow low income housing known as 'Workforce Housing', a concept designed to make Manteca look as if it's on equal ground to Beverley Hills real estate.

"If they’d really like to lose even more value, let’s stop all residential construction and throw the people working on building the homes, supplying the materials, and trucking them all out of jobs as well. That, of course will only create more unemployment and lead to even more mortgage failures and in turn depress housing prices even more." This was a stunning violation of journalistic integrity. How on earth does a person know this? Where did this information come from? We can only contemplate it is completely fabricated because unless the entire country stopped building (which it never will) this can not happen. Again, it's a tactic used by activists trying to skew the facts and label others not willing to support their cause as 'greedy' and 'middle-class' looking down on all others who deserve our money we worked hard for (more taxes) thus taking from the have's and giving to the have nots. If the Manteca Bulletin were to actually listen to the people of this city, we don't want anymore new housing. Just build out what is left on the books with the developers and be done with it. We need to focus on our roads and finances, someone who is an economist and professional in the community.

This is a lesson to learn. Although being able to provide housing to those who have jobs working in various (and specific only sectors) are admirable, it's clearly NOT WANTED in the City of Manteca. Most of Manteca's citizens are against low income welfare housing (workforce housing). It's too much at this time. The housing activists that want to design and build these tiny homes want to make newer homes to those already plastered all over the city which is a testament to everyone that these types of homes outnumber the owners of 'McMansions' being attacked for their very existence. Why do we need more? As evidenced, many of these homes are filled with very low income to NO INCOME residence existing on welfare and many of them are infested with drugs, illegals and blight more than someone's front yard not being mowed at a 'McMansion'.

When journalistic integrity goes out the door to support a low income activist builder and planner and using old history of other cities over 50 years ago and purely distorting the facts and even creating them, we're being conned and induced to arm-twisting tactics of we better support them or else. It's simply a waste of space and in my personal opinion, we're being scammed and bamboozled.

Smaller houses are OK, but not where they should not be and because there are 'restrictions' on them to purchase and who you can sell them to, it also will be in violation of other laws on the books denying a home purchaser and/or investor from taking advantage of these homes. Until this can be corrected and by legislation, the majority rules. And that means NO WELFARE HOUSING (Workforce Housing) in Manteca California.

Manteca Bulletin Knows How to Read Your Mind

We're back to the same old story again, 'History by Dennis'. The great orator of the Manteca Bulletin has posted his opinion in complete disregard for home owners living in larger homes than he and his unfortunates who can't afford them when the city of Manteca voted to have these types of homes in the city to help bring in new and increased tax based revenues.

The title of his article alone says it all, he's telling us subliminally that we are all wrong and need to follow in the steps of the liberal ideological machine, the 'tele-tail-prompter'. What is it telling us all? We're being clouded by our ambition to live comfortably and have money. Oh, my gosh! You mean we can't make money more than we should? Is it unfair? According to the Manteca Bulletin it is. Call the Payroll Czar!

I hate to say this, but I have to say it. Everyone is taking notice of Dennis Wyatt and his articles. Some days he's so far to the left he smells like Obama's ass! The next he's so far to the right, he's made a full circle. You can't please everyone and this is getting noticed by the readers.

The article sounds like a fourth grader getting his butt kicked by a third grader and trying to make up and excuse of the reason why this happened. I'm getting a kick out of all the excuses the Manteca Bulletin is giving for us to have Welfare Housing (Workforce Housing) in our city. It's really become a huge push for them to convince us all and chastise us at the same time.

Let's talk about this paragraph: "It’s amazing but the people doing the most complaining about “depressed housing prices” they contend are hurt even more by the fact there are 300 homes still being built a year in Manteca aren’t even thinking about selling. They don’t like the idea their home is losing value which is money they never had."

First, it's a fact that we have depressed housing prices. Second, as time goes by, we all who have purchased homes purchased for the number one reason all across the country. 99.9% of everyone purchased it as a retirement investment. It's not just a place to live and raise our families, it's a place to live and wait as time goes by so we can sell it and retire some place else. This is how it has been going on for decades Dennis. So yes, we DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF LOSING VALUE ON MONEY WE HAVE TO WAIT TO OBTAIN WHICH IS TIME. The idea is to have it later on and we don't need WELFARE HOUSING to bring the investment down that voters approved of so we can give away our money we don't have now for later to some poor segregated economically disadvantaged worker.

Let's take a look at this next paragraph: "If they’d really like to lose even more value, let’s stop all residential construction and throw the people working on building the homes, supplying the materials, and trucking them all out of jobs as well. That, of course will only create more unemployment and lead to even more mortgage failures and in turn depress housing prices even more."

I really have to say something about this: "σκατά αγελάδας εξακολουθεί να είναι σκατά"

I put it in bold because this is pure bullshit! How does he know if this would cause us to loose value on our homes? Where did he get this information from? What study? I really have no words to say about this because its all made up. This is a complete fabrication and meaningless and shows how un-journalistic and unreliable the Manteca Bulletin has become. This crosses the line of being a State run Pravda being written behind the Iron Curtain. We all know too many politicians use terms such as 'percentage' (over-used) and 'most' and now the Manteca Bulletin is using the same tactics of hyper-bally to get a point across that is pure fiction at best. Journalistic integrity is now gone.

There is a difference between passion about something and actually writing to inform us that our thinking is wrong and we're all greedy and because our future retirements are clouding our minds we need to feel shameful because we're responsible for putting the housing market down the drain further. I don't feel shamefull at all and neither does the many "McMansion" owners across this city.

The fact is, Dennis and Ben Cantu want to bring these houses to the market faster so that the prices remain cheap before our homes start to increase thus bringing these economically disadvantaged segregated workers in the price range before it's too late. That's the reason why and they are afraid to say it. I said it for them.

Workforce Housing is Welfare Housing plain and simple.

Manteca Mayoral Candidate Ben Cantu Believes Citizens Owe Workers Affordable Housing

Ben Cantu submits his opinion on Workforce (WELFARE) Housing and why the citizens of Manteca need to fix this "segregation housing" (A made up term from liberals) because it's our duty to do so.

Below is my response in the Manteca Bulletin regarding his opinion letter.

I agree with 'more_cops', you certainly have a bias against those who worked hard (something you fail to mention) to achieve their dream of owning a "McMansion" and who by the way pay MORE MONEY IN TAXES for and continue to do so.

You represent a 'belief', and in my opinion your belief should remain personal as the same with being either a Christian or Buddhist. Yes, we have many people living in Manteca that are DECIDING to live here and DECIDING to live on a wage they have chosen. It is NOT our (council) responsibility to help them and is unfair for you to use them as your excuse because they chose to do so. You are a retired city worker and you are treating them as the same, government workers where the citizens should support just like our cops. NO WAY! Your thinking on this is the same as Obama-nomics, costly in the long-run and will cheapen the neighborhoods where these "McMansions" sit thus bringing the values of these properties down and it will eventually suffer the city coffers on those tax revenues. The only way for you to have your dream come true to work would be to bull-doze all those homes down you don't like.

Manteca has chosen and VOTED to have "McMansions" in this city to bring about higher revenue in turn for those who have achieved their success to be able to live in peace, live in a nice neighborhood and live without the crime ridden welfare (Workforce) housing sitting right next to them. They want their children to have a good upbringing less tougher than they did when growing up so they can contribute to society when they become adults, not have to live with the low-life's that chose to live that way and bully them on the streets and tag the streets they live on. Quite frankly, Manteca has gone in the right direction because we know we don't want to become a suburb of Stockton.

Manteca already has enough mixing of housing and plenty of houses already. We also do NOT NEED ANYMORE NEW HOUSING in Manteca. Let's finish the building of what was left and leave it there. The new council should focus on business filling in the vacant lots and buildings just sitting all around town.

It's time for a new Mayor of Manteca and I will not be voting for anyone who has a retirement from this city because your thinking is the same and will remain so, bureaucracy. Your plan also has too much tax remedies in it that will continue to force everyone in Manteca to pay for your big WELFARE HOUSING mistake. That leaves only one other left and as I recall, he too is against this and has mentioned it several times in his 2008 election.

You've had 30 years to bitch about this to the city council and how come you haven't? You're on the Kiwanis club and as a president with Willie, how come you don't have coffee with him about this? If you're that passionate about this, how come you didn't quite your job in protest? There is another city council candidate who has a noise problem with his neighbors and the current city council has done absolutely NOTHING about it and there is a document signed by you that proves you did NOT do your due diligence on it and thus gave a legal document to these people who are conducting an illegal business on their residential property costing the city of Manteca tens of thousands of dollars in tax revenues since your signature on that document June 29, 1993 letter from the City of Manteca signed by Ben Cantu based on unverified information from the lawbreaking owner. http://way2noisy.blogspot.com/2009_02...

Manteca has lost so much money on these people because of this mistake and lazy approach to doing the job right. I'm sure this isn't the last oversight.

A Good Example of Workforce Housing In Manteca

Do you want to see how segregation housing (a liberal made up term) looks like? Go here:

http://www.mantecabulletin.com/news/article/8438/

Yes, at it's finest. The quality of citizens it brings about, the ambiance of culture and character of how one lives and brings about equal living including the scum and blithe who can't even get booked into our jails because of 'over-crowding' even if its TWO FELONY WARRANTS. Yes, this is what Dennis is writing about. This is what Ben Cantu wants to bring about, "Workforce Housing", (another made up term from liberals). It means: WELFARE HOUSING.

Yes, it will bring about JOBS alright! More cops as we see and more probation officers hanging around the neighbor'HOOD's. Yep, more illegal guns in the hands of those who can afford to live in those little affordable "ECONOMIC SEGREGATION" houses because they are economically disadvantaged and shame on all of use who have achieved our success and moved forward with technology and education and labored in the 'WORKFORCE' by embracing it, not blaming it and want to keep our neighborhoods and schools safe.

We have Pinkerton, and I wonder if its going the way of Stockton? We don't want another Stockton in Manteca. A Manteca reader mentioned the areas of Stockton that once were high-end and what the council called, "rich-kid neighborhoods" and they mixed the school districts around to bring about those disadvantaged in order to keep low achievement the standard bar to achieve. This isn't the Special Olympics where everyone is a winner! At least the Special Olympics has a goal in mind, DO YOUR VERY BEST! Not Workforce Housing, it tells everyone, "we want you to feel welcome and understand that your lower standards of achievement are embraced in our community and even if you are a felon, we WANT you to be around us."

It's amazing me how liberals steal and cheat from everyone else in order to get their way. They live in this imagined made up world and fiercely fight everyone in order to bring about this change and actually believe they are right and have first-hand knowledge and experience in do so. It's not only a mental disorder, it's a disease and deceit to the people.

Keep Workforce (WELFARE) Housing out of Manteca. We don't need it! It will bring the criminal elements an opportunity to live in our community.

Another Confusing Article From The Manteca Bulletin

I'm reading today's article 'Newsom’s new edict: Illegals get pass on lack of driver’s license' and it's a very good article, strong, vocal and conservative. Just what I like to read. But here's my problem.

Yesterdays article I commented on about housing segregation is totally the opposite of this article. In that article Dennis is a socialist left-wing liberal nut wacko! Now today's article he's a right-wing conservative genius. What the f***?

San Francisco sure has a problem, their supervisors and mayor. You can't even say they are Democrats anymore, even though they belong to that vile disgusting party, but they are totally something else, not human. They are beyond stupid, they are aiding and abedding in breaking State and Federal laws and it just amazes me how the State police or the Federal government Justice Department never come after them and lock them up?

We have too many illegal aliens living in this State and all their offspring are illegal's, too. This entire situation of 'if you're born here you're a citizen' is wrong. It's not being challenged as it should. The U.S. Constitution states that the family must have a head of the household and that person must be a citizen first in good standing. Why? Because babies can't legally make decisions.

California has a problem with protecting homosexuals and giving them a classification as you would a dog not being a human and protecting if not, encouraging illegals to come here and live. We have plenty of people in this country that can and will pick lettuce and fruits and nuts. This entire excuse of not enough people is a crock of bull. It's being run and controlled by a mafia under the disguise of a union that collects big bucks from their 'members' if you want to work. Yes, go ahead. If you're not Mexican, try and apply, you will NEVER get selected.

Gavin Newsom, whose ex-wife while married to him as mayor constantly used her foul mouth at news conferences and since their divorce Gavin Newsom had an affair with his chief of staff's wife and then an 18 year old girlfriend and hooked on drugs and alcohol. Wow! What a mayor and strong candidate for Governor of California.

Dennis sure gave a good article today, but he went 180 degrees opposite from yesterday's article. Read my post previous to this one. I can't figure out why he did not mention segregation in this article as a rebuff of his own words? I don't know.

Manteca Has No 'Economic Segregation' As Hyped By The Manteca Bulletin

I came across Dennis Wyatt's article today in the Bulletin and we're hearing his personal history story again this time as an example that Manteca can be just like those fine folks he grew up with. Yeah, and Oppie and Aunt Bee and Gomer will come visit us every Thanks Giving, too. This Mayberry attitude needs to stop! Mayberry was a made up town and so is this story and 'Workforce Housing'.

Here's the title: "Manteca should end economic segregation by subdivisions"

This sounds very socialistic to me. And, it's actually WELFARE HOUSING not workforce housing. No such thing ever! This is a made-up word and term and it's used to cover what we all know, you want affordable housing for those who can't afford anything larger than a 1000 square feet of home lined up with all those taco, pizza, burger and donuts joints you failed to mention on those same streets where these people would have a job. It's the same as being able to purchase a Ford Pinto or Mercedes Benz and you use the word and term 'segregation' to get your point across?

We're all getting tired of hearing you support Ben Cantu and this welfare housing project because this is a very socialistic endeavor and creating articles that are designed to give a history lesson of your past to inform us because of your upbringing in some town far away, it will do the same in Manteca. Get a life! You're taking advantage of your editorial position to pass this theory and idea on to the citizens of Manteca. We're not fooled. It's WELFARE plain and simple and we can read right through this mask. And, we are not hearing the crowds of wannabe home purchasers trying to get into Manteca complaining about segregation. I have news for you, that word went out in 1964! Again, another socialistic term using segregation.

Socialists have used the words 'community', work (now workforce), 'segregation' and 'responsibility' to get their points across. Having a mixing pot of very low income to high income and don't forget to include what will come with that, drug dealers, gangs and other kinds of people we don't want in this city or in our schools. Mixing does not work well, it never has.

We're a Family City, not a WELFARE (Workforce) CITY. Everyone has to work, so this blasts your 'workforce' word out the door. I'd rather have the educated experienced doers who have achieved to purchase their nice homes and neighborhoods, not the under achievers we will eventually here from you and Ben say, "now we need to HELP them".

Regardless of the waste treatment plant, we're being fed a lot of Bullshit from the Manteca Bulletin on this one and it needs to be flushed down the toilet. I have never seen anyone attend our city council meetings or even send in thousands of petitions to the council regarding their unfair treatment of being economically disadvantaged. This is an Obama tactic of the far left liberals who are not achievers, they lie, cheat and steal as we all know.

Manteca Bulletin Endorsing Jerry Brown

Dennis Wyatt must be on some hippy weed because he decides to write an 'opinion' today (translated: endorsement article) regarding Republicans should vote for Jerry Brown for Governor of California.

I'm not going to regurgitate his words, but there is one paragraph that caught my eye,

It was Brown who –after speaking out stridently against Proposition 13 – did everything in his power to implement it after it passed. He was criticized by his own party for not continuing the fight but Brown noted astutely that “it was the will of the people.”

Now, let's speed forward to Proposition 8, passed by the majority of California's citizens and violently attacked by Jerry Brown as Attorney General (which he should not have been allowed to be on the ballot yet broke the law in doing so thanks to Democrats who look the other way to always get their way including breaking laws).

Jerry Brown did all he could to make sure that Proposition 8 would not get on the ballot. He did everything he could to STOP proponents for traditional marriage to succeed and at all costs including breaking the laws, and he's an Attorney General.

Jerry Brown allowed the California Supreme Court to create law from the bench out of thin air in allowing homosexual marriages and did nothing. When Proposition 8 passed he tried to get it thrown out.

Let me ask you this, Dennis. Where is "it was the will of the people"?

The California Supreme Court again created new law by allowing only partial Prop 8 by allowing the couples who married to still remain married and no invalidate them. Where is Jerry Brown and his 'it was the will of the people'?

Dennis, what makes you think that as a conservative, whether or not I'm a registered Republican or not, that I or anyone else conservative or other would vote for a man who as Attorney General violated and aided in breaking the laws and ignoring the 'will of the people' as Governor? What ever you're smoking Dennis, STOP! It's rotting your brain. Then again, liberals are morally and intellectually bankrupt regardless, you could say it's the same thing just as news media has turned to being a State run business and not true journalism.

Manteca Bulletin Is Nothing But A Liberal Express

Here I am reading today's Manteca Bulletin and all I get is a face full of "gee, I wish I were in the good ole reject 70's of Governor Moonbeam." The only thing really that was great about the 70's was the rock music.

Dennis Wyatt does nothing but spew out liberal vomit of how great Jerry Brown is and how he is the best and quite frankly, better choice to be California's next Governor...again! Will he ever stop? Does he have anything better than regurgitate old news? He's done a similar article just like this before, just turned it around a bit.

He thinks that Gavin Newsom is someone that even has a chance? Give me a break! I think Hannah Montana has a better chance than that homosexual-loving mayor who only gives a hoot about himself and wouldn't even listen to the real problems that are going on in California. All he'll do is appoint homosexuals to made up boards with over-paid salaries and whatever else he can do to populate our State government with all these anti-family bigots. Gavin Newsom is a lost cause. (so is the Manteca Bulletin at this point)

This article wreaks with stink and it's all about liberals and democrats. The people are sick and tired of all of this and when 2010 comes around, I'm believing that we're going to see some changes and I'm still in high-hopes that California will turn around some day and get rid of the illegals and all the high tax and spend liberals to boot. Send all of them back to Mexico or south of the border. At least we can now start to challenge the gun laws in this state. Let's see what we can do.

I would expect something better from the Manteca Bulletin regarding who the next California governor should be, but that's what you get when you have a liberal agenda newspaper pumping out pure propoganda.

Sun Post Gets It Half Right...Sort of

I could not help it when I read the pathetic and I mean P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C endorsement from Carlon Perry and Cecelia Drake. Even though I endorse Debby Moorhead for city council, they have used race and gender as their excuse. Pardon me Carlon and Cecelia, haven't you heard? The City has already hired a gay interior decorator to touch up the city chambers (boys room) and a janitorial company that hires illegals (unknown) to vacuum and dust and remove the garbage. (Tongue and Cheek)

I was utterly shocked to read the review from the Sun Post regarding Debby. I could tell it was completely the TOUCH of Cecelia. If I were Debby I would be pissed because this could have a backlash potential of voter revolt. In fact, it made me want to change my mind about endorsing Debby. However, I'm going to stand on it.

Now, the other candidate. A typical retired city bureaucrat with no executive experience. Granted, Willie has the executive experience but Ben has NONE! I could not see the point of his massive ad in the Sun Post trying to sway last minute voters. In my opinion, it was bad timing and a poor waste of money. Maybe if we put two and two together, they endorsed him because of the money spent on the ad. Who knows, but Carlon has been mentioned as someone who denied spending money on marketing advertising voter guides that are designed to trick voters into a fake and completely MADE UP endorsement. I got three of them myself from him. I also got about 7 of them now from the two city incumbents. This goes to show that the candidates can't get in touch with the citizens except for one, Samuel Anderson.

The Sun Post calls him (Ben) an 'Insider'. Just enough to keep it in THE CLUB. The citizens of Manteca have voiced their concern over the good'ole boys club and the constant voting in of those with 'city' experience. They want someone with their interests and concerns at heart who have gone to them and listened to them, not someone who borders on socialism.

Ben Cantu is the wrong candidate for Manteca. He would only bring more gridlock to the system with his experience. It is not the experience we need on the council. Just because he retired from our city does not mean he is qualified. If over the last 20 years there was something wrong, why didn't he stand up then? He was a part of everything that he attacks. Remember this.

Samuel Anderson is far better a leader and experienced executive we need on the Manteca City Council.

Manteca Bulletin Endorses Current City Council Incumbents, Sort Of

It's not official. But it should be. Dennis Wyatt again writes another influential media hyped opinion letter to his newspaper slamming all of the current candidates running against the council. Specifically towards Samuel Anderson and secondly towards Ben Cantu.

Why? I guess because Samuel's Letter to the Editor had received so much praise and positive feedback that Dennis feels it's time to put him in his place. No other candidate has gone this far. Not even Ben Cantu. However, Ben has been doing some pretty good writing with his letters, he still has not convinced much of the public yet because he does not get out there to campaign. Samuel has been knocking on doors since Spring making it impossible for anyone to catch up.

What Dennis Wyatt does not say is what Samuel Anderson has been saying all along and has experience in this area. Energy, Pensions and Services. It takes energy to run a city and after that comes the salaries and pensions of city workers. Then comes the services to keep the city safe in all facets of need. Strikingly, Dennis tries to compare Manteca with Vallejo by suggesting our current leaders are doing the right thing. Are they?

I beg to differ from their method because they can not be that fiscal enough with what has happened. Yes, economies go up and down all the time during periods, but we are so much invested in new technologies now that we just don't predict the future, we can actually see the future enough ahead of us that when the warning signs are there to stop the spending or else face deficits, then this tells me the current line-up of men are not doing their job. Blanket it all you want with Bass Pro and JC Penny's and Costco, it doesn't make any difference. Taking chances with city funds and methods of payments is not something to be taken lightly and if Dennis Wyatt ran his own personal checking account this way he would probably get several notices from the bank with warnings to stop it or else loose his privilege including being fined.

Anderson has made his stand very clear; don't spend when you can't, don't give loans out to Guido even if it will drag us into a family war and keep the pay-as-you-go budgeting a central tenet of the council leadership. Trying to compare cities with each other out of context is pure madness and stupidity because they can give us insight into the future of what could possibly happen especially since Vallejo is not that far from us in the Bay Area and sits close to home. Anderson wants to make the non-restrictive accounts restrictive so that the State can't steal from it.

Let me make this crystal clear: Dennis Wyatt has not mentioned what Samuel Anderson has been saying all along; the city management and employee morale is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. There are luxury positions within the city that we simply can't afford at this time and they need to be eliminated. Also, Anderson and Cantu agree on making drastic changes to the cities codes in order to improve services and our quality of life. What happened Dennis? You're not listening just like the council is not listening. Last, what about the infamous 'Rainy Day Fund'? It only appears during re-election time when it suits the candidates the most.

Dennis Wyatt mentions "structured deficit". What he means or what he should have said is structural deficit. There is no such thing as a structured deficit. It is out of step with reality. And, how can you say a Future Deficit is not the same as a State or Federal? What? Where are you getting your math from? You did not even explain what a future deficit is. You simply wrote it off.

Manteca has changed its baseline to allow for the tax cuts for Costco and BassPro and others. In doing so, it implies that the decision has already been made. You simply can't just give a tax cut without changing your baseline. It's a bit more complicated than that, Dennis.

Under this baseline we simply increased its future deficit projections. Using this standard makes it tempting by taking it a step further by increasing deficit projections to account for restrictions on other taxes and quite possibly Measure M as an offset. Most budget advisors would say the result would be deficits far bigger than anything contemplated under current law. I agree. The Manteca city baseline may be more realistic politically, but it takes the city a step away from solving its budget problems.

It can get us into an unsustainable budget situation over the long term, if it hasn't already begun which it appears it has happened. "In the short term, we're in a 8 million dollar fiscal hole. So it's really important to hold the line," Anderson said. "The important point is: How much are the policies going to cost? All policies have a cost."

One other major item Dennis Wyatt did not mention is Measure M. Why then do we need it? Why are we the highest taxed city in the county? With all this development and conservative fiscal calculations and great decisions from the current council, past, current and future predictions, why then Measure M? Why did they push it? Why not dissolve it RIGHT NOW? I can continue with all the blunders the current council has made with developers and our city services including the bulbs in downtown Manteca. Roads and alley's that need to be paved and fixed that only come up during election year politics. You want the bombs to stop Dennis? Then stop throwing them yourself, especially on behalf of the current Manteca city council incumbents. Let them fight their own battles.

It appears that all Dennis can do is write about what he feels is best for the city and I'll say it again, why don't you run for city council? Hell, I'll even vote for you as Manteca's first Emperor.

Suggesting that past 'friends of the tax payers' and pandering drove services into the ground are simply half-truths. You seem to forget what current candidates expect is a balance, not bonds and measures to keep us out of trouble all the time. Your bias attempt as posting an opinion yourself is rude and crude as it attacks the candidates when you yourself stated in the beginning of your article, "people lob political bombs left and right as the campaign frenzy picks up." Look who is throwing the bombs, too. It goes to show us all that journalism is non-existent today and so blatantly offensive to the point they just don't care how stupid or crazy their madness is. It's the same as Obama getting a free pass with all the unanswered questions. Dennis Wyatt is giving the current council a free pass, too.

Dennis mentions that there is "only one way" that Manteca can become a Vallejo. Get real! My God, are you that obtuse to think that we can't come up with any other way? There seems to be this new avantgarde mentality that tends to lean only one way by driving their "myopic vision that frames the world with their perceived notions of how things are and not how laws and the concept of financial responsibility require things to operate."

The news from the Manteca City Managers Office confirming yet another budget deficit is sobering, but the news should not be surprising to anyone who has been listening to the Manteca Bulletin's leading economist and the current councils leading PR spokesman, Dennis Wyatt.

The die has been cast for some time. The state's many cookie jars have been raided and are empty; one-time measures and accounting gimmicks have been used; spending on programs and services has been cut repeatedly since 2001; and taxes have been raised.

Why are we again in the same old spot, facing sizeable revenue shortfalls and I'll say it again, Measure M?

The answer is simple. Manteca's policymakers have done nothing to address the structural imbalance between the growth in spending and revenue collections. This is not a cyclical issue. We cannot just grow our way out of this problem when the state's economy finally improves. Nor can we continue to cut spending without serious risk to public safety and the health and welfare of our most vulnerable residents.

Until we make structural changes in our tax system, ongoing deficits should come as no surprise to anyone in Manteca.

N-A-M-B-L-A Goes Ballistic On Frank Aquila

RESPONSE to Letter to the Editor - Manteca Bulletin

What does N-A-M-B-L-A stand for anyways? I know what you're thinking. You say it stands for the perverted efforts of fat old homosexual males who wish to destroy the innocent hearts and minds of young boys by trying to make legal their sexual lusts for the sake of their disgusting behavior, right?

Yes, but I have another name for it, too.

The "Not Another Manteca Bulletin Letter (to the editor) Avantgarde".

It's time to expose those who think they support the homosexuals when they really don't.

How many people do you know actually support homosexuals? Not that many and probably zero. Why? Because they just don't. However, only the media will report about it and let those who say they support perverted fat old homosexual males write about it.

Let's get the facts straight here. This butt head (who I will not mention) who continued to rant and rave about NAMBLA and Frank Aquila just could not get his point across. This is proof he does not accept this lifestyle, he only wants to get his name and picture in the paper because he just can't stand the truth. He'll choose and pick any topic if his name will get some recognition and the Manteca Bulletin was desperate to find someone to counter the letter.

NOTE: This is one of the reasons why I am not saying his name, he's just stupid and I just can't give the time for stupidity.

However, if his butt where in the view of these perverted homosexual fat males it would be a different story. Unless he comes right out and says he has had that ultimate homosexual experience, then I will not mention his name. Come right out and say you had an experience with a young boy and the police will be visiting you soon. What's holding you back?

Hey, I'm not one to stop you or anybody from doing what you want to do in private or in bath houses with same sex partners having sex. Just don't push it on me and the others and pass laws about it. Furthermore, NAMBLA should be considered public enemy number one and put on a terrorist list of those who should be shot-on-site. These perverts are sick! YUCK!

Most conservatives don't really care about what homosexuals do, they just don't want to be told what to do by them or ordered to accept them and their lifestyle. Frank Aquila hit it right on target again. However, NAMBLA is illegal. This is when we need to voice our concerns and get the word out that you will not be accepted, ever! There is a point of ridiculous and outright stupidity and disgusting acts will not be tolerated by anyone.

So, this person who responded to Frank Aquila, you got your five minutes of fame, I hope you feel better now. Did you remember to take your medication? Did you remember to go back to adult school and learn how to read and write? You really don't care about NAMBLA and we all know it. You're just an idiot and it's a shame the Manteca Bulletin had to stoop so low as to choose you.

Oh, and the Manteca Bulletin. Please, stop going gay will you?

Media And Their Endorsements - A Poisonous Cocktail

The elections are getting closer and the papers haven't been giving enough coverage to any of the challengers in most of the local races. Why not? The Stockton Record, The Sun Post, The Manteca Bulletin and some others appear to care about the current incumbents and ignore any challenger. Why is this? It's bias, plain and simple.

I wish to speak about endorsements. Why do we have endorsements? Is it because the press, the politicians and some entrepreneurs have figured out a way to take advantage of the system because they have found out there are plenty of lazy voters out there to scam? Yes!

Now, this is going to sound a bit different, but listen to what I am saying here. Can this be some sort of State Run Media? Hear me out. The media gets into the game by playing the endorsement game to keep their incumbents in and hiding under the First Amendment. The politicians don't say anything because of this, but yet they do control to some extent the media. They wish to stay in power and the newspapers wish to stay in business. Does it matter if the city is doing well or not? No, it does not. In fact, negativity sells just like sex. Good news is easily forgotten.

My question is: What qualifies a newspaper to be an endorser? What qualifications does an owner or editor have to have in order to be qualified to endorse a candidate? Is there any specific qualification or certificate of notoriety that must be obtained before endorsing anyone?

To my knowledge, no there is not!

NOTE: The Manteca Bulletin is the only newspaper that does not endorse candidates and I give them credit for that. They do tend to lean more on the incumbents and not give equal time to any challenger getting their message out there.

The Sun Post however has a staff of owner editor husband and wife Cecelia Drake and Carlon Perry. They tend to take interviews of candidates and then give their endorsements. They do not take the interviews of the current incumbents. They only do the challengers. This leads us to believe that there is media bias. I am convinced that they do this just to get ratings to show their genuine identity so they can have a type of credibility whatever that may be.

I believe there already is a chosen candidate to be endorsed and those are the two current incumbents. Again, what qualifies the newspapers to give endorsements? They are only doing it to keep who they believe would work best for their own personal interest, keeping the paper alive and making money by subscriptions and ad space. What else is there?

In my opinion, as far as Manteca is concerned, Carlon Perry and Cecelia Drake are in no position to endorse any candidate. Why is that? They are not qualified. They do not know the candidates on a personal level long enough to see just who they really are. I have news for you folks, money is what makes the world go around and newspapers rely heavily on revenue to survive. They have a difficult time surviving already. Statistics already show they are loosing ground.

I already have reservations about the Sun Post not having the coverage they say they have. I'll write about this later on.

Manteca, please make up your own mind. Do not let the media and newspapers make up your minds. They are in it for the profits. Voter Guides that sell ad space to candidates are sleazy pimps. They are in it to make money. Read what you receive very carefully in the mail. They are businesses disguised as political voter guides. The newspapers are the same way. They are using their name to get into the game of selling more papers by offering an endorsement of a candidate for whatever office they are seeking. True voter guides follow rules by showing both party candidates and they don't endorse.

Endorsements from a newspaper and voter guides are a scam! They are fraudulent socialized media attempting to use your votes to make money.

Will the Sun Post endorse Carlon Perry for the Irrigation District Board? Let's see what happens.

The First Precinct Polling Calls Are In

After 200 phone calls to random registered voters, one hundred Democrats and one hundred Republicans I have your results on Manteca's city council race.

I purposefully left out all Independents and Others at this time because I wanted to see the party lines of who they would vote for. It did take more calls to obtain the 200 responses required by my polling.

Here are the results in order of First Place and below:

DEMOCRATS >>>

Samuel Anderson: 52 Democrats will vote

Steve DeBrum: 12 Democrats will vote

Ben Cantu: 11 Democrats will vote

Debby Moorhead: 5 Democrats will vote

20 Democrats stated unsure who they will vote for.

REPUBLICANS>>>

Samuel Anderson: 69 Republicans will vote

Steve DeBrum: 13 Republicans will vote

Debby Moorhead: 6 Republicans will vote

Ben Cantu: 2 Republicans will vote

10 Republicans stated unsure who they will vote for.

There you have it! Samuel Anderson is clearly in the lead and due to his daily door to door campaigning. Something the others should be worried about. It is too late now to catch up on this type of campaigning.

Have you noticed that Jack Snyder was not even mentioned? Although, he was spoken about in almost every phone call, but the voters were very hesitant and had decided that his age and time on the board has been served and the city is in need of 'new blood'. I agree.

Debby Moorhead and Ben Cantu, both newcomers have an opportunity here I see. However, Debby is running a poor campaign and relies on others to do her job of campaigning. Speaking to groups and clubs does not work, it does not reach out to the people. Maybe this time it will give her experience to run in the next election.

Ben Cantu is making his rounds and speaking at hometown type events and writing letters to the editor. This is good, but too early is too much. Inexperience shows in his race as well. Both he and Debby do not have signs yet, at least I have not seen them around town at this time.

Samuel Anderson is experienced and is getting well-groomed for the election and the position of city councilman. Not only is he running a campaign on limited funds mostly his own, he is showing how his fiscal responsibility can stretch a dollar to the maximum effect of gaining voters and building relationships at the same time. This is the character the people are screaming about for our council. Apparently the others are not listening. Samuel has and is working the streets.

It's amazing how the Manteca Bulletin and the Sun Post have not run any stories yet about the candidates or their bios. There are eight candidates let alone all the other races that are of concern to our city. However, there is plenty of space in both papers about the two incumbents. I think Carlon Perry is bias and is choosing to stay middle-left of the road instead of center-right where he stated long ago where his paper would be and stay. So far, he does not have my endorsement of being on any district board.

The Manteca Bulletin appears to be bias. They and the Sun Post need to start getting their act together and stop being bias about not writing about the candidates because it is now being obvious they are being ignored entirely. I have been the only one so far and the only one to have made local precinct polling by placing calls. I will continue this in two weeks from now and make more calls and post them to this site. I'm sure things will change by then. Stay tuned.

NOTE: This is not an official polling. It was done privately and independently of any service or news organization with official polling systems in place.

Tax and Spend Liberals Tend to Stick Together

Manteca City Councilman Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder both have campaigned for Manteca's half-cent tax increase to place Manteca as the highest tax paying city in San Joaquin County. Not only did Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder vote for this tax increase, Steve DeBrum was on the committee for the tax increase, something Jerry McNerney is proud of since he voted for three tax increases and bringing back the marriage penalty, death tax and many others.

This is typical of tax and spend liberals and while both Candidates Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder are running at Republicans, they both are not fiscally responsible and do not support the conservative values of cutting taxes and limiting spending. The City of Manteca is currently 8.8 million dollars in debt.

Where we need to be concerned about is how they are going to be endorsed by the various organizations and political parties. The way it works is if you are a paying member of the party, and you are an incumbent, generally you will be endorsed. Honestly, the parties on both sides need to start cleaning house and get rid of those who vote for the members only. They have no clue to any of the others who show true Reagan Conservative values such as Samuel Anderson. He has said, 'no' to the establishment and has gone door-to-door garnering votes from every registered voter in Manteca.

What's troubling is the Manteca Bulletin and Sun Post have yet to write about the candidates with seven weeks left until the election except to take responses from Samuel Anderson and turn it into a letter to the editor including changing around his response in order to make his position look bad among voters. Where are you newspapers? How come you are not writing about the candidates? Is it because you don't have qualified reporters to do it right? I can believe that. Ben Marrone (Sun Post) is in my opinion the only well qualified journalist and man of his word from what I hear. Great job, Ben!

Last night was the South San Joaquin Republicans meeting with Frank Aquila. This man has it right and he's got the right stuff for the county as a whole including what the city of Manteca needs since he resides in Manteca. His organization has stepped up the values of the conservative base as well as set his city on fire for bringing more awareness to its citizens that we (Manteca) are the Family City. A Family City is a city with values, family values that are an American tradition of Christian values including values of several cultures that make up the family across the world. Job well-done, Frank!

Several candidates joined with Frank Aquila themed Dean Andal Night. Dean shined and delivered a short and to-the-point conservative family values to the citizens that showed up in record numbers, again, something that proves Frank must be doing something right. Everyone agreed that Sara Palin has rocked the house and shook up the establishment and it's so good that McCain is able to campaign as a Presidential candidate while his Vice-Presidential candidate is the one fighting Presidential candidate Barack Obama. It's so laughable because it shows how his inexperience glows more than his halo around his head. Joe Biden? Where is he? If anyone finds him, please let me know.

Out of the Manteca City Council candidates only Steve DeBrum and Samuel Anderson showed up. Debby Moorhead had briefly shown up and then left after about two minutes. Again, a poorly run campaign and very dysfunctional at best. As for the others, they were a no-show. I have some sound advice for the rest of you candidates and political bone-heads, Frank Aquila's group is the largest and most organized and most written about and happens to be in your city. You had better get to know him well and spend some time at his events if you ever want to keep your seats because eventually it will catch up to you.

Our city has been hijacked by the current council and paid off by the developers and contractors who work on the projects they vote for. They have increased our taxes and gotten us in debt. It's time for the truth to come out and we need a change. I personally want Samuel Anderson for our Mayor, but I'm willing to get him into the council first and let's make him the Pro-tem. That is Vice-Mayor for those who don't know this. The one with the most votes in the election obtains this position for the next two years.

Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder are both tax and spend liberals who voted for the increase we have in Manteca and are responsible for the debt we are in. Jerry McNerney's record is in line with these two councilman and this is the reason why they have raised a record amount of contributions from developers and contractors to fight off the people trying to get them out of office. I have yet to hear from the others, but again, Samuel Anderson is still going door-to-door with his platform of reform and change for the better.

Manteca Bulletin Endorses Diane Feinstein For Governor

In today's Opinion section of the Manteca Bulletin, Dennis Wyatt - Managing Editor, has endorsed Senator Diane Feinstein for California's next governor.

I'm just a bit confused here because the Manteca Bulletin does not officially endorse any candidate or incumbent. It's clear and obvious how they use (abuse) the Opinion section of the paper to get their left-wing agenda across to the readers. This was not an opinion, it was an endorsement because when you have an editor of the local paper give his personal endorsement of a sitting politician in the Opinion section, it tends to lend some sort of credibility to the nature of the topic (cause).

Click here for the opinion:

Calling it a solid choice for our next Governor without any regards to other possible candidates is a devout ideology of one-way politics reminiscent of past-time Stalin-ism mixed with modern day events. The Manteca Bulletin has now become a modern day vocal point for the current city council and politics as usual by using their paper to endorse others under disguise and influence the population by non-journalistic printing. Where is the reporting? Where is the journalism?

I wrote about Jack Snyder yesterday because the current police chief Dave Bricker who happens to be the director of Jack's campaign has given him the rank of Captain of the Manteca SHARP's. This might seem like a nice item to have written about in the pages, but there is no way in Hell that he can run this unit and be on the council at the same time, especially at the age of 82. Get real. They are so out of touch with reality and the people that they did not think we saw this one coming. If this isn't a stunt for some brownie points with the press and public, then Captain Jack Snyder should retire from his campaign and use his time wisely by being in charge of the Manteca SHARP's.

The recent luncheon of developers and contractors for the Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder re-election campaign tells us of two things. One, it was the pay-off of their votes to keep the developers in power of our city. Second, it has showed that Jack is in with Steve and the rest of the boys and he is weak and needs the help of Steve DeBrum. Why not? They asked him to run again in hopes of Jack winning the election so he can retire a short time after.

Manteca needs change and I believe it will have that change. I'm hoping that both Jack and Steve don't get re-elected, but that might be too much to ask for. I do know that Jack will not be elected because he is just too old and traditional. I speak with many people every day and they all tell me the same thing, Jack is too old and needs to retire from the council. It's time for new blood. That new blood is Samuel Anderson.

Petersen doesn't speak for every Christian

It's been a few days now since the last time I wrote about Brandon Petersen, Manteca Bulletin Sports writer and his flagrant attack on Frank Aquila. I had no intention of continuing this but that smear opinion is still there. What I did notice is Dennis Wyatt has allowed for this incident to continue and go unpunished.

Why would or should we be concerned about any punishment?

Who cares, really? Right? I mean, liberal journalism is all about using whatever you want to say to whom you wish to say it and never worry about the consequences. Do you really want to know what this is about?

The Truth!

You see, whenever right takes on the wrong, those in the wrong do nothing but complain and scream out loud to the tops of their lungs and can't back it up. It's because they know you are right. Isn't it amazing that it is only because we have a first amendment that protects others writing terrible things about you especially name calling (which is school yard immaturity at best) in order to get away with it. They'll even use 'religious terms' to speak their point as if it will give them some credibility.

Brandon claims he's a 'Born-again Christian' and is part of 'the' 'religious community'. I thought we were a family city? How come he mentions a 'religious community'? We do have gangs you know.

You see, as a Christian, you don't have a 'religion'. You have a faith. As a Christian, 'born again', the belief is that you can only enter Heaven through Jesus Christ, the living Son of God. So, you don't believe in any 'religious community' that has others in it that is not of your faith (religion). Hey, I'm not making this up, it is a fact. This is also a fact with others, they believe in their point as well. But, this does not mean we all can't get along. Brandon seems to see the same light as Oprah and so many others that say, "There are many roads one can take that lead to Heaven."

I think I have pointed out some good points here. Enough of religion for now.

My final conclusion is Brandon Petersen and Dennis Wyatt need some healthy attention. They certainly need our prayers. Confused and frustrated as they are and leaning left more and more each day is cause for alarm. Using the daily paper to smear a good man (Frank Aquila) every day is just plain wrong. It does not speak for all of Manteca, only for Brandon and Dennis. What this does show is that Frank was in the right and he hit a jugular vein and the truth hurts. At least those who 'can't handle the truth'. I took that from a line in 'A Few Good Men', Jack Nicholson who played Colonel Jessup, Marine Commander. Just like Jack I never served, but he sure did play a good part. Continuing...

I think we all need to boycott any subscriptions of the Manteca Bulletin and just rely on the Internet. It's free. Name calling in our city and our newspaper is and should not be tolerated and needs to be addressed. We certainly don't need to pay for it. Let's make a dent shall we?
