“A Republican Tries to Break the Union Lock on Los Angeles,” read the headline in Saturday’s edition.
The reference was to Kevin James, who, based on objective qualifications, should finish first or second in tomorrow’s mayoralty primary election.
But he probably won’t.
[img]1574|left|Mr. James||no_popup[/img]Never mind that Mr. James is a congenial, fresh-voiced outsider, a never-before-elected visionary – can a successful 49-year-old entertainment lawyer be classified an upstart? – whose proposed solutions could yet soberly prevent Los Angeles from tumbling into bankruptcy.
The Republican sun, however, is highly unlikely to shine tomorrow for three reasons that have teamed to block Mr. James’s path.
Yet all polling tells us that just as America’s least informed voters returned the Mendacious Mediocrity to the White House last November, Mayor I Love Me, termed out on June 30, is to be succeeded by Mayor I Am for Sale.
Instead of anonymously skulking home, embarrassed that their Union First fiscal policies have brought City Hall to the ledge of bankruptcy, the Three Stooges, Eric (Ain’t My Fault) Garcetti, Wendy (Ain’t My Fault) Greuel and Jan (Ain’t My Fault) Perry, turn arrogance on its head. Like latter-day Charlie McCarthys, they shamelessly execute their most pungent Swish Obama imitations at every public appearance, as in:
“I know we are failing fast, but look at how much good I, alone, have done the past 10 years.”
- The greasy-handed labor union bosses who control compliant City Hall by its throat,
- The three soft-shelled insider stooges who dutifully do the unions’ bidding. They performed like mindless robots at the dozens of candidate forums, and mainly…
- The sycophantic left-wing floozy the Los Angeles Titanic, which despises and demonizes Mr. James because of his conservative policies that threaten their prostituted candidates.
Mr. James’s path to the mayor’s chair is blocked by the three liberal yes people in the race who have loaned themselves out to the city’s labor unions during their decade in office.
Who Created This Mess?
[img]1743|left|Wendy Greuel||no_popup[/img]Quoting Joel Kotkin, the city’s best-known demographer, in the Saturday story referred to above, we were reminded that Los Angeles has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, 10.2 percent, that private-sector wages are stagnant, that business growth is non-existent and perhaps worst of all, among the 51 largest urban areas, Los Angeles suffered the slowest growth between 2000 and 2011.
[img]1741|left|Jan Perry||no_popup[/img]In a moral world, the Titanic would charge the three of them with serial lying.
In a normal world, voters would punish the three liars. But remember we are living with hard-shell Democrats who don’t play by rules.
As a liberal medium, the Titanic lacks the courage to tell the truth and level such a charge against their three favorite cookies.
Two of the Titanic’s most egregious left-wing sycophants, Jimmy Rainey and Maeve Yes, Maeve No Reston, wrote a 21-paragraph story on Friday night’s candidate forum and, by darn, they did not manage to even mention that a supposedly major candidate, Kevin James, even was in town. That is how you influence elections.
[img]1742|left|Eric Garcetti||no_popup[/img]But since half of Los Angeles voters speak sparse English, a quarter can’t read, and the remaining quatrain of Democrat voters don’t exist, Mr. James’s chances, as Jim Healy used to say in the ‘70s and ’80s, are slim and none, and Slim has left town.
If you can imagine a battered woman nominating her husband for Daddy and Spouse of the Year, that is what Los Angeles Democrat voters will be doing tomorrow.
