There a place you can see Mayor Tony but it’s not in a debate, but YouTube from last week where he went to the San Fernando Valley to open a campaign office you can see he has no apologies for ducking debates and ignoring his responsibility of telling voters WHY WE SHOULD RETURN HIM TO OFFICE. He’s just so smug, but there’s a little bit more that you should consider before you simply roll over and accept another term of this mayor’s abuse of office and people, us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b05_bIOMg7w #3 of 3, 6m 19s.
I NOTICED A CURIOUS THING IN TONY'S VIDEO, he bragged about the transit tax passing "in a recession" and noted that it's not supposed to happen. TONY forgot the lies that he and his political friends pushed on the voters for all the measures, as always, hiding the ball, saying whatever needs to be said to get their vote. Then he uses the results to add to what he's achieved. Another sales tax boost, 1/2 %, a regressive one at that, like all sales taxes, impacting disproportionately on those less able to absorb the added financial impact.
His speech style is just too poor and everyone there in this video is on HIS side- he would easily melt in a debate with anyone. It's all due to him lying with every word and thinking about how not to get caught.
IT'S A STUPID CONCLUSION if he’s proud of that outcome, since TONY manipulated people to screw themselves (again) but he thinks it's an achievement or some sort of true public approval- the public never really got any truth given to them by TONY’s side to even be able to properly consider what they were voting for. It’s the lambs being led to slaughter there, and meant more as literally than figuratively when you think about the real-life impact on the lives of people now. THAT result should not be something to be boasting about, TONY. It just shows that TONY is completely self-absorbed with his own career ladder-climbing, and his mind is as far as it can be in considering the impact on the public.
TONY is truly a demon when you see the impact that more taxes have had on the most financially vulnerable, the FIXED income elderly or disabled persons who get no chance for a raise or promotion to compensate for rising taxes and “fees” that the government imposes. The city council is relentlessly following that “revenue generation” instruction from TONY to cover the excesses in city spending that THEY approved and now refuse to accept that as having been caused by them. The really unforgiveable part is that the Council and Mayor did this spending while also ignoring all the warnings given and available months or even years ago.
Well, all that just leaves me very unsure of expecting that "the right thing" is going to be done by even mildly informed people, many of whom will buy into having another disaster of a second term of TONY as Mayor. Too many people rely on television news that is really an “info-tainment” show now, and any resemblance to real news is purely coincidental.
Television won’t give real news to viewers and I believe polls have found that, even with that warning, this is the main source of news for most people. Only very lightweight amounts of serious knowledge are shared about critical issues so no real news is delinered to the public. But you can bet that there will be television news cameras at the polling places on Tuesday, March 3, to cover their “news reporters” saying the predictable things like, “The election is bringing out a very small turnout.” What kind of news is that?
Television news, while always hunting for ways to get you to tune in for ratings, is the poorest of all the sources for anyone to get news on any kind of story. It’s absolutely fine for visual images, like car chases, but television news is mostly for looks, not for substance. Another poor source of real facts and any truth would be to see Tony's campaign mailers and video spots. Chief Bratton, who endorses him, is simply another of Tony's puppets, depending politically on Tony for all that he has.
Vote next Tuesday- and you already know what TONY'S about- pick someone who cares about improvement for the City and the people. You have your choices, and I support Zuma Dogg, who knows the issues and the processes from years of bringing his views to Council, with all the theatrics used to deliver the messages, many of them bearing unwelcome news and opinions to Council and the Mayor. But you have your own choices, make them informed ones, not rubber-stamps for Tony.
