Ramos

In a Press Enterprise story published this past week, opponents trying to unseat San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos lashed out at the two-term incumbent and provoked a response.

Challengers Frank Guzman and Bob Conaway hammered away at Ramos for his handling of corruption investigations and his womanizing within his department.

The newspaper even made reference to local political blogs which assert that Ramos several affairs, most of which are within the office and involve his subordinates. Continue reading →

Well, iePolitics has now heard it from a couple of well-placed sources.  San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos is looking a bit peaked.  It seems he appears to have lost about 20 to 30 pounds.  And remember he is a small man.

So what is it Mikey?  Long nights . . . too much exercise . . . worry . . . guilt . . . waiting for the Feds to come knocking at your door . . . wondering if Jerry will use the steel handcuffs or the fur-lined variety . . . hmm . . . what could it be? . . . inquiring minds want to know.

As Beaufort pointed out below I may have opened the proverbial Pandora’s Box and that was on purpose.  In politics, it seems like the worst of worse are those that claim God is on their side.  And this year, the Conservative Right seems to be invoking God more than normal.

Those who know me well know that I have some pretty strong religious beliefs although I’m not much better than most in practicing them.  I have found it especially tough when I’m going through periods of extreme depression.  But then I’m not running for office or in a leadership position, not that that is an excuse.

iePolitics: Medical Marijuana and the Conservative Republican

It’s not like I hide it.  I am an ultra-conservative fiscal Reagan Republican.  I am also a tree-hugging liberal.  And on social issues, well, I’m all over the place.  I am pro-life, anti-gay marriage, pro-gay union, pro-rehabilitation/anti-lock-em up for non-violent offenders, pro-rehab for drug offenders, pro-Second Amendment, anti-illegal immigration, anti-closed borders, anti-anchor baby, pro-reasonable immigration policy, anti-Patriot Act, anti-anything that erodes Constitutional Rights further . . ..

For some reason, my attitude towards medical marijuana confounds my fellow Republicans.  I absolutely believe medical marijuana should be legal and easily available to anyone with a valid prescription.  I have total contempt for what our San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has done regarding this subject and feel the same way about any other city/county that has used loopholes to ban dispensaries in contempt of the will of the people.
