Voter Alert! Congressman Schiff to celebrate at Gay Pride parade in West Hollywood

If you like this type of thing, Congressman Adam Schiff will be riding around with West Hollywood City Council Members in the Gay PRIDE parade in West Hollywood this weekend.

I want to make sure that voters and taxpayers in the 28th Congressional District know where their money is going to be spent this weekend.

Sunday, June 10th. -- 11:00 a.m.

My buddy....Mitt Romney?

I came to a sudden realization yesterday that a candidate that I'm not so fond of might turn out to be my best buddy in the whole world.

I've been pretty clear about my lack of enthusiasm for the candidacy of Mitt Romney. I have some severe ideological differences with him, and I'm not so fond of some of his flip-flopping in the past. However, he will be the party standard bearer in the fall election, and if I want Obama out of office, I have no choice but to support Mitt Romney.

Do I think he would be a great President? Well, that is difficult to say.

I am certain he would be better than Obama...and for now, that is all I ask of him.

One thing that has been very impressive about Romney is his fundraising and his organization.

I realize that I might get a "ride-along" with Romney if he spends money in California.

His volunteers might get more voters to the polls. That would help me.

If he starts winning the election early...if he's up by five points in the polls and wins Virginia, Florida and Ohio early, discouraged Democrats in California might not bother to go to the polls. That also helps me.

The old adage "Politics makes for strange bedfellows" is an adaptation of a Shakespearean quote.

And if I end up rooting like crazy for Mitt Romney this fall, the irony will not be lost on me.

Joe Barrett's worst nightmare: Walker, Jennerjahn declare victory

Yep. A bad day for liberals, indeed.

Today is the day! June 5th is finally here!

Polls opened just minutes ago here in California for our Presidential primary, which hasn't been helped by the fact that the primary process now seems like an afterthought, having been settled a while ago.

The general election will pit Mitt Romney, the moderate Mormon from Massachusetts, against Barack Obama, a social agitator from the Democratic Party Machine of Chicago, Illinois.

Thrills galore.

I myself am facing an election today. By midnight tonight I should know my fate. It will either be the start of a long, glorious career in politics, or it might be the end of it.

If I lose, would I throw a Nixon-like tantrum and swear off of politics forever?

Probably not. I've lost two elections already, and it didn't stop me from trying again.

Barack Obama ran for U.S. Congress in 2000. He lost by a 2-1 margin. The voters in his District preferred Democratic Machine politician Bobby Rush. But Obama didn't quit. Instead, he tried for the much more audacious attempt at running for U.S. Senate in 2004. He was going to lose that election until a sexual scandal imploded the campaign of his opponent Jack Ryan, who dropped out of the race late in the game.

You can't win unless you try. And you have to keep trying.

Sometimes, you will get a lucky bounce.

Politics is a cyclical, finicky and tricky business.

Things can change in a heartbeat.

Power can shift suddenly.

Both Lech Walesa and Nelson Mandela spent considerable time inside of jail or prison cells, yet they went on to become the unrivaled and deeply admired leaders of their nations.

Yeah, that is exactly how crazy politics is.

In other news, astrological fans will witness the Transit of Venus this evening as the sun sets.

Do I see this as a sign that an astrological phenomenon happens on my election day?

Am I that "once-in-a-hundred-years" political figure?

I don't know. Maybe.

The voters will let me know tonight.

I don't believe in fate, but I do believe in Providence.

I don't believe that it is an accident that we are all here doing what we do.

In another side note, June 5th also marks the long awaited release of "Smokey and the Bandit" on Blu Ray.

Win or lose, I will be relaxing later tonight with a newly-purchased copy of this film.

But with all these things converging on a single day, I can't help but feel that maybe today will be my day.

I will let you know tomorrow.

I don't think I will even have to stay up that late tonight.

Wishy Washy Losers

Here is a painfully embarrassing video for two candidates in the election tomorrow.

My opponent Jenny Worman (originally from Norway) says she is "pro-choice".

Europeans are just like that.
They don't have a very good moral compass.

She is the only one in the room that is pro-abortion.

The more painful part to watch is this huge squish named Jack Orswell who doesn't want to say whether or not he is a supporter of abortion.

Man, he sucks. He might as well quit the race right now.

Nobody respects a man like that.

I know I don't.

A Government of Looters

One of the reasons that most voters have no faith in their leaders anymore is the lack of moral integrity coming from these people.

We are now governed by looters.

Whether it is Barack Obama handing $500 million to Solyndra, or Robert Rizzo cooking up a fraud scheme in the City of Bell....or maybe even people like Bruce Malkenhorst Sr. (above), who was bilking taxpayers in California to the tune of over $500,000 a year for his pension as former City Manager of Vernon, a city that has about 100 residents. (There is also a photo above of the home of public servant Bruce Malkenhorst Sr.)

Amazingly enough, the incompetent people who are in charge of CALPERS, the state pension system, didn't see anything wrong with this. But hell, they didn't see anything wrong with Robert Rizzo getting paid double what the President of The United States gets paid for managing a tiny city with only 40,000 residents.

I pray that voters will elect me so I can start putting some of these people in jail.

One of my first acts as a Congressman would be to contact the FBI and have them look into the situation in Vernon... which is basically organized crime -- by the government!

Eric Fresch made $1.6 million in 2008 as the City Administrator of Vernon. That's only quadruple what the President makes. Nothing to see here, folks.... move along!

The hysterical lunacy of Betsy Butler

The left always prides it self on being so damned politically correct.

Green. Eco-friendly. Blah blah blah....

Well, Betsy Butler has become "Big Chief Treekiller" because she has been carpet-bombing West Los Angeles with postal mailers while seeking an assembly seat in a new district. The number of trees destroyed by her quest would stun any wild-eyed liberal.

Butler really jumped the shark with her latest mailer.

She's claiming to be the heir to the Cesar Chavez throne...even though there are no farms in her district.

What a lunatic. I actually burst out laughing when I read this one.

According to Betsy, she is practically Che Guevara!

Here is a reality check.

Memo to Betsy...you forgot your beret for this interview.
