iePolitics: Election 2010: The Biggest Loser

This could be just as easily be titled, “How to sabotage your political campaign 101.”   The answer is simple:  Hire Chris Jones as your campaign consultant.

Jones lost three very big races where he had high profile candidates with large war chests.  And for good measure, he also lost the campaign for Bertha Bea Cortes with all of his threats against grandmas and Grand Terrace’s decent citizens.

Jones was campaign consultant for Chris Lancaster, Don Kurth and Paul Biane.  All three were “the candidate to beat” and in each case an underdog did just that.

iePolitics: Chris Jones: Second tier campaign consultant with a first tier capacity for sleaze and deceitful campaigning

Chris Jones was an unknown to iePolitics two years ago.  He began sending us press releases for his candidates quite a while back and we printed many of them.   Then we learned the truth about Chris Jones.

Don Kurth

We first discovered what a slime ball Chris Jones really is when he was the consultant for the Don Kurth.  Combined with campaign manager Jessica Austin, the two ran the dirtiest campaign in San Bernardino County.

Jones and Austin hit the blogs using pseudonyms to disparage every opponent with outrageous claims and lies.  No one ever said either was bright because pseudonyms don’t hide IP addresses and we all quickly learned what they were up to.

Jones and Austin represented the dirtiest candidate running for the 63rd Assembly District.  Kurth was the only candidate to have a known cocaine habit, a history of domestic violence, or to have spent time in prison.

However, Kurth was the front runner going into the campaign and raised the most money.  He also sent out the most negative campaign flyers.  With all their subterfuge and fund raising he only garnered a third place showing.

Fred Karger: Californian’s Against Hate

Editor’s Note:  This is a mailing list I ended up on I suspect due to the post I wrote about Chris Lancaster.  For the record, in addition to ET, Al Vogler, and Barb Stanton, Assembly District 59 candidates Chris Lancaster, Ken Hunter and Tim Donnelly all participated in one aspect or another of the very bigoted campaign against Anthony Riley and/or Corey Calaycay.  I’ve got the emails to prove it in case they try to deny it.  Anyway, I really don’t hate Mormons.  I have always had a lot of respect for them.  But I had a huge issue with both Chris Lancaster, who is a Mormon, and Tim Donnelly, who I don’t believe is Mormon, preaching God and then participating in such hateful work.

Statement by Fred Karger, founder of Californians Against Hate, re Guilty Finding by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) Case #08-735

SACRAMENTO, CA – Today the FPPC, in an unprecedented ruling against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, found the Salt Lake City based Church guilty on 13 counts of late campaign reporting.  The Mormon Church was fined $5538 in an agreement worked out ending the 19 month long investigation.  The Church was the primary backer of California’s Proposition 8, which ended gay marriage in California two years ago.   The Mormon Church initially admitted to spending only $2078 to pass Prop 8.  When I filed my sworn complaint on November 13, 2008, they instantly attacked me.

iePolitics: The Race for the 59th Assembly District (Republican)

Posted on by Administrator

This is the other hotly contest Assembly District race and the more controversial of the two.  Its current officeholder is Assemblyman Anthony Adams who was the target of a failed recall effort.  There are six candidates vying for our votes.

This race is also “blessed” with a well financed RINO who, unlike Don Kurth, claims to be a Christian.  And this “Christian” (or Mormon in reality) along with his campaign consultant Chris Jones (sound familiar?), has conducted the most hate-filled, ugly campaign in San Bernardino County.  That candidate is, of course, Chris Lancaster, who has stooped to sending photographers to his opponents’ homes to film their young, underaged relatives, sponsoring an incredibly hateful video, and knowingly sending out lie-filled propaganda intended to induce and inspire bigotry and hatred among voters.  Needless to say, Lancaster is undeserving of your vote.

That leaves five other candidates:  Iver Bye, Ken Hunter, Tim Donnelly, Corey Calaycay and Anthony Riley. Continue reading →

Dear Leader: Dynasty Politics

You’d think we’d have had enough of Dynasty Politics to even entertain the idea of Chris Lancaster, son of former Assemblyman Bill Lancaster, running for a seat in California’s 59th Assembly district, a district that stretches from Apple Valley to Acton and includes Claremont. Really. George W. Bush coming after George H. W. Bush, Kim Jong Il succeeding his father Kim Il Sung, and, closer to home Dennis Mountjoy occupying the latest incarnation of his father Dick’s Assembly seat (the good old 59th) for six years. And let’s not forget Papa Doc and Baby Doc (Jarhead) Duvalier in Haiti a generation ago.

Truly, as Marx said, “History repeats itself; first as tragedy then as farce.”

Best we can tell, Chris Lancaster is an empty suit who followed a bit too closely in his father’s footsteps, raised taxes in Covina shortly afer he was elected to the City Council, and was recalled for it. Now he poses as a tax fighter but he’s contributed to many candidates on what is politely called “the other side”–meaning Democrats in this context, or Big Spenders, take your pick.

Some two decades ago, the California Political Almanac pegged Bill Lancaster, Chris’s father, as the “Johnny Lunchbucket” of legislators…content to punch the clock each morning and go home each night.” So maybe that makes Chris Lancaster Johnny Lunchbucket, Jr. Continue reading →

iePolitics: Conservative Reagan Republican Anthony Riley Upholds Traditional Values

Hesperia, CA – Conservative Republican businessman Anthony Riley re-asserted today his strong support for traditional family values and his unwavering support for heterosexual marriage.

“I voted for Proposition 8 and I firmly believe that the definition of marriage is strictly between a man and a woman,” stated Riley. “Heterosexual marriage is a cherished societal institution.”

“In regard to taxpayer funded abortion, I do not believe that any circumstance warrants the government paying for any abortion,” said Riley.  “As it is, irresponsible people too often use abortion as a form of birth control.” Continue reading →

iePolitics: AD 59 Update: Sacramento Insiders For Chris Lancaster!

In a political climate where candidates for public office stress their independence from established Sacramento political insiders, one candidate has it all backwards.

In an election cycle where wanna-be “public servants” are running as “outsiders” destined to shake up a broken system and reform bureaucracy, Chris Lancaster is highlighting his support from Sacramento politicians.

Odd strategy for victory, sure. But it’s really no wonder why those responsible for overseeing a $20 billion budget deficit are supporting proven tax raiser Chris Lancaster. Continue reading →

I am on a mission!  We have three candidates running for office in San Bernardino County whose campaign consultant is Chris Jones.  They are Don Kurth, Paul Biane, and Chris Lancaster and they have the three dirtiest campaigns in this county.  All three need to be defeated!

Anyone with verifiable information about these three can send it to me at sharon@iepolitics.com or PO Box 2722, Apple Valley, CA 92307.  Also, I can be reached at (760) 954-0280.

iePolitics: Religion and Politics

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.

I heard back from the Anti-Defamation League and they explained what to do.  It will take about 60 seconds of your time and we can get the hate video produced by ET Snell and Barb and promoted by Chris Lancaster and Chris Jones removed for good.  I’m not going to post the info here, so email me at sharon@iepolitics.com and I will tell you what to do.

iePolitics: A Question For Those Of You Who Are Mormon

Over the years I have had a lot of friends who are Mormon and I have found them to rank pretty high on the ethics scale.  Then my brother married a Mormon woman who had to be the one of the worst liars I have ever encountered and my opinion dropped just a bit.

Now we have Chris Lancaster running in the 59th District.  He is running partly on a “family values” ticket and discusses religion openly.  But of all the candidates in the 59th District race he is the most bigoted and sleaziest.  And he has hired the sleaziest of the sleazy as his campaign manager.

Red County: 59th AD Watch: Chris Lancaster a RINO?

Republicans become very uneasy with the deeds and words of certain GOP electeds who fail to live up the basic conservative principles of the party.

The RINO term is widely known as “Republican In Name Only” meaning insufficently conservative or outside of the party mainstream.

One need to look at a candidate running for State Assembly from the 59th Assembly District:  Chris Lancaster. Continue reading →

iePolitics: The More We Learn About Chris Lancaster’s Consultant, The Bigger Slime He Turns Out To Be

We have all enjoyed Chris Jones’, aka Taxfighter, comments on the blog. Chris, of course, is the campaign consultant to 63rd Assembly District candidate Don Kurth, San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Paul Biane, and 59th District Assembly candidate Chris Lancaster.  You see a pattern?  Three sleezy candidates all hire the same sleezy campaign consultant.  But this is hardly Chris Jones’ first foray into dirty politicking.  He has a history . . . a long history.  Here is about a campaign he ran almost 12 years ago.  Fortunately for us, his candidate lost.  Let’s hope his three candidates this year lose as well.

Assembly Candidate’s Negative Mailer Misfires

Politics: Republican John Kellogg loses endorsements by Baugh, Morrissey after he sends flier linking his 68th district opponent to a convicted child molester.
May 30, 1998|PETER M. WARREN, TIMES POLITICAL WRITER

An eleventh-hour negative mailer apparently backfired Friday on John Kellogg, a GOP candidate in the 68th Assembly District race, when two Assembly members withdrew their endorsements of him saying the attack was unfair.

In trying to gain an edge in Tuesday’s primary election, Kellogg mailed fliers to central Orange County homes assailing candidate Ken Maddox for his “ties to a convicted child molester.”

Maddox quickly complained to the county GOP ethics committee, which set a hearing for 3 p.m. today. Continue reading →

Matt Munson: The Question of Endorsements

Endorsements, candidates go for them like a kid at a candy store. Voters look for them as indicators that candidates are for or against policy positions. However when organizations are inconsistent with their mission statements it clouds the meaning of an endorsement in an election.

There are two endorsements I would like to call into question in California’s 2010 elections, endorsement of Mary Bono by the Log Cabin Republicans and the endorsement of Chris Lancaster by the California Republican Assembly. Continue reading →

This was sent to me by one of the candidates.  It makes interesting reading.  I’m also hearing rumors that Anthony Riley, former staffer for San Bernardino County Chairman of the Board and Vice President of the Hesperia School Board, is also contemplating a run.

The surprise decision by Assemblyman Adams not to seek re-election to the 59th Assembly District has set off a scramble for the sprawling Los Angeles and San Bernardino County seat.

The 59th District contains all or parts of the Eastern Los Angeles County communities of. Los Angeles County communities of Claremont, La Verne, Glendora, San Dimas, Sierra Madre, Monrovia, Bradbury, Arcadia and La Crescenta then suddenly goes north through the Angeles Forest and East into San Bernardino to take in the San Bernardino County communities of Apple Valley, Hesperia, Lake Arrowhead, Crestline, San Bernardino, Highland and Mentone. It is a district that makes the case for redistricting reform. Continue reading →
