On Being Disingenuous, a Prevaricator, or a Plain Out Liar

(Beginnig note to Bud Shoemate and Debbi Scacco at the Port of Toledo:

If you did not manage to get all or any of the goings on at the port offices at 10:00 AM on Friday recorded, I did. While the video is very poor, the sound is great. I might consider sharing that tape in the future. Maybe to be shown as entertainment between reels of The Keystone Cops. The regular "cops", the U.S. Attorney for Oregon might see that as a Conspiracy to Entrap and as a Conspircy to deny access to a document you were ordered by the District Attorney to let me Inspect. I'd be very careful which conspiracies I let Ol' Bud get me involved in! That one was so obvious! Remember, Y'all, such a Conspiracy is a Federal Offense.)

.

Council re-election candidate Professor Mark Camara, Phd. made an outright perverication concerning my having said I was beginning to understand how John Smith felt when he was standing before the council the last few sessions.

.

Counciman Camara chastises me for being a candidate for mayor, unlike Mr. Smith, and not knowing the city charter and its restrictions on the city council to seperate out the personnel decisions strictly given by the charter to the city manager and to the city manager only.

.

Councilman Camara knows I know that restriction on council members is in the charter. And he knows what I said about beginning to understand the frustration John Smith was feeling was not about the charter at all. It was simply saying I understand the frustrations of a lot of folks in Toledo with the answer always that the city charter keeps the council out of certain affairs. Of course it does!

.

The good Professor, Councilman Camara, just thinks he can state that I do not know about that restriction and it then it is "truth" and something the voters should consider against me, that because he said it, it becomes a fact in the campaign. He is an outright prevaricator (Is that the same as a liar?). He was an outright prevaricator (or liar), one or the oather, or both, in my humble opinion, in the last campaign against now Mayor Rod Cross, and he is an outright which ever one you choose again now.

I do know the personnel exclusions placed on the council members including the mayor.

.

It is not good form, it is not generally accepted to call someone a liar outright even if it is my honest opinion. But I am making an exception because dealing with Mark Camara

As-Between-Gentlemen

is not possible. He will prevericate, cheat, obsfucate, (And lie.) to get elected even, in my political opinion.

.

The good Professor Camara? This guy has no honor in how he campaigns and makes outright lies up while knowing it, in my personal opinion. There is no excuse for any man with such a high IQ and a Phd. behind his name to behave like this now in two campaigns in a row. It is not just every two years durig camaigns that he does this, he des it all the time. It is dishonorable and a disgrace.

.

What I was saying was that I simply was beginning to understanding the deep frustration Mr. Smith has. And that I was feeling like Mr. Smith and I, and lots of working class stiffs in Toledo might want to consider changing even in a small way the city charter to empower the city council a bit more.

.

The city charter is not the Constitution of the United States of America. It is not an almost perfect document inspired by The Creator.

.

Even the Constitution has a proceedure for change. Like when the 18th Amendment was put in place and later repealed by the 21st Amendment.

.

Folks, this is the same tactic the good councilman, the Professor, used against now Mayor Rod Cross two yesrs ago in the mayoral campaign that pitted them against each other in that contest for mayor.

.

He lied about the then councilman, Rod Cross, and he is making up lies now, in my humble opinion. The difference is, he isn't running for mayor and why he is "running against" me as a surrogate for Monica Lyons, probably without her asking or maybe even realizing at first that it was happening.

.

We need to get this guy off the council instead of thinking of re-electing him. We need to send him back to school. We can do this if we think about how we will vote in the city council race.

.

All four ballots in my house will be cast as Ballot Bullets for Franki Truillo-Dalby. We will only use one of our three votes and vote for Franki to try and insure that this Favorite-Daughter candidate is elected, and at the same time we may be able to minimize Mark Camara's chances for re-election and then the bottle neck or log jam he has become on the city council can be broken.

.

Vote for

Lowell Neal a.k.a. Bob Valdez

for

Mayor of Toledo

.

Vote only for

Franki Trujilli-Dalby

a Favorite Daughter Candidate

for City Council

(Vote a Bullet)

and then we can get the Toledo City Council back to work on issues like

Workforce Housing

and the economic crisis we are in.
