He claims that money to buy a box @raiders came from political campaign contributions 9or maybe the 3R's) Look when pols get big donations those who donate get a big voice on all those gov't $ to be doled out, so as a good lib aren't you at all curious about these connections?<br> The Perata cup?<br> Following the money of this guy is important don't you think?<br><br> And the obama healthcare plan well it's not even his but it doesn't cure what ails healthcare. Just by better simple sanitary conditions/protocols 100,000 lives in US could be saved, open up interstate insurance co's, tort reform, blood clots after surgery kill a preventable 200,000 yr., how come it is impossible to rank medical services and see a "consumer report" of cost and benefit for Dr.'s Hospitals & procedures, this reform cements bad procedures in place. The use of insurance to fund all health care of course raises costs, how come we are so technologically backward in healthcare? this "reform" does nothing to reform the system. Medicare spends 2x in Dallas than Salem Or- because there are more Dr.s & specialists in Dallas not that life expectancy is higher or care is better. Health care demand has no limit especially if the gov't is paying for it. We need to pay for things ourselves like any other service and become better stewards of our bodies, more responsible for our own actions rather than having someone else do that and pay for these treatments - of course there is a roll for insurance- but one should see the costs, be able to shop and pay for maintenance of your own self. that is reform I can believe in.SF2OAKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156813738805135259.post-55027001014942166872009-08-31T09:37:54.000-07:002009-08-31T09:37:54.000-07:00I find it astonishing that Mark Ross had the audac...I find it astonishing that Mark Ross had the audacity to write - supposedly with a straight face - that Don Perata's troubles went away once "Dems took over Dept of Justice". No wonder this country is in such trouble - the unfathomable pile of misinformation & lies spewing from all corners. 1) Perata's investigation was begun under the BUSH Dept of InJustice; 2) Perata's investigation should have come to a halt when the Bush-appointed US attorneys in the SF area said they would not - COULD NOT - prosecute due to lack of evidence; 3) the case was then picked up - by most legal experts account, picked up ILLEGALLY - by the Bush-appointed USAG in Sacramento; 4) Even HE couldn't find enough evidence to take Perata or anyone associated with him into a courtroom. <br><br> Sadly, this is just one of over 17 cases I researched over the past 2 years where Bush-appointed USAGs went after high-profile Democratic electeds and/or contributors where the evidence was staggeringly absent. You wanna peel sour grapes that your comrades lost in November? At least do it with FULL DISCLOSURE. I'm sick to death of partisan pseudo-journalism, and if you're writing a blog that portends to tell the truth about issues, you are pathetically in the category of journalist. Thus the sorry state of our nation. PS - the Obama health care plan doesn't include a panel that votes to put senior citizens to death.

Karl Rove or Tom Delay may have been as ruthless as any leftist but they aren't running in jOakland nor for any CA office- they are 2 sides of the same coin. The reason why I am a registered Republican is not so much that I agree with everything the dysfunctinal national Republican party says but because the local Democrats are socialists and we could really benefit from a 2 party system (and no not the socialists and democrats.) Funny but I think everything Dellums promised has come to pass- one wonders which idiots voted for him and if they see anything wrong with his performance- he was even smart enough to make the voters enlist him. Of course it was all downhill after that.<br><br> I am hoping that the Edgerly case goes to trial just to open up the records at city hall. OAK government says they cannot possibly cut but they have agreed under democrat rule to the golden pensions/benefits which I realize are tied to SF's b/c all pub employee unions are tied in together- well OAK is not SF- we've got so little driving this economy, no panache and no great resources, high crime.<br><br> The platform of a new mayor could just be to give people and businesses a reason to locate here. That would be enough (and that may save our city.)<br><br> Finally mayor fuzzy offers no comic relief - except if you think Where's waldo is funny. he has disppearedSF2OAKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156813738805135259.post-47199175408222578812009-08-26T10:26:59.000-07:002009-08-26T10:26:59.000-07:00I enjoy your score keeping on Mandela Foods vs. 99...I enjoy your score keeping on Mandela Foods vs. 99cent store.thighmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156813738805135259.post-48217441961556555562009-08-26T10:18:58.000-07:002009-08-26T10:18:58.000-07:00i think that tom delay or karl rove were every bit...i think that tom delay or karl rove were every bit as ruthless as any leftist anywhere.thighmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156813738805135259.post-24490287110108816792009-08-26T01:13:21.000-07:002009-08-26T01:13:21.000-07:00I don't think too highly of Don Perata, but di...I don't think too highly of Don Perata, but didn't know the dems were running the local justic department.

Unfortunate, though, that the good stuff is couched in smirking catchphrases, wild exaggeration, and veiled racism.
