Board of Equalization member Betty Yee
|
STATE CONTROLLER//2014 ELECTION | For a few months this summer, Alameda resident Betty Yee’s campaign for state controller was looking good. When State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, another East Bay resident, decided against another round of statewide musical chairs and announced he would not run for controller, it left the Board of Equalization member as a possible frontrunner.
She had piled up nearly $475,000 in campaign contributions, according to campaign finance reports and support was beginning to coalesce among Democrats, at least, here in the Bay Area. However, the road to the controller’s office and whatever the controller actually does, isn’t looking so clear, anymore. (The controller is sometimes referred to as the state’s top bookkeeper.)
Whereas, Lockyer jumped off the statewide merry-go-round, the open seat is being filled by termed out State Assembly Speaker John Perez, who is a political heavyweight in more ways than one. Most observers undoubtedly see Perez as the runaway favorite. He will leave the State Assembly in better shape than when he found it and is only 43-years-old.
According to capitol watcher Scott Lay’s column, The Nooner, another Democratic stalwart could be jumping the line in front of Yee and others. Former State Treasurer and gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides may be staging a comeback after years out of Sacramento and a stint trying to fix Wall Street’s financial shenanigans.
In a race with Perez, in addition to Angelides, it’s hard to fathom Yee’s campaign war chest getting any larger after the soon-to-be former speaker calls in all the chits earned over his years in Sacramento.

I wish the two of you would stop the pettiness and calling each other names. Put some substance into your posts. The topic was supposed to be about Betty Yee.

Our anti-male BBDB continues to express herself in the wee small hours of the morning. This speaks to what she does with her meaningless life.
Little girl, do look in the mirror. It is there that you will see the true representation of what it is to be pathetic. But then again, you union whores don't have to sleep since you continue to rob the public blind.

Anti-union sexist chauvinistic pig troll you are a very pathetic child who has mommy problems. As much as you don't want to believe it I didn't write the male posts. What an insecure loser you are. LMAO I do agree with them though–temper little one.

Well, folks, the BBDB is back, and now she is pretending to be a guy. Talk about pathetic.
Little girl, don't be mad at all men. Don't project, either. You need to take responsibility for who you are. Maybe in the next life you'll come back as a guy, but I seriously doubt it. Not only don't you have any balls at this time, but you clearly won't have them later on. You need to grow up, little girl. Also, try to get out of your parents' basement. Clearly the sun don't shine there.
Please don't use the excuse that you were 'abused by the big, cruel world.' Won't work. You obviously have been writing everything on this feed that can be considered whorible, and we know just what kind of messed up girl you are.
I want to repeat my thanks to the earlier poster:

To the first 1:41 p.m.–he is the anti-union troll that frequents this blog and he doesn't try and convince–only provoke.

Yes, it's true that Betty has whored for the unions. When we have so few choices, I'll take the least horrible [whorrible!].
Now as for language–GET OVER IT!
Don't give a tinker's damn whether you approve or not. 'Whore' and 'tit' have been liberated! There are other contexts besides a female who sells sex and a woman's cleavage. I don't tolerate prudes or those who believe themselves high and mighty.
The fact that the terms have been liberated ought to please an extreme liberal such as yourself. Also, don't offend me or others. Betty needs all the votes she can get. I promise you she doesn't care from whom they come. The name of the game is winning, and that means votes.
I'll let your slap go this time, but watch yourself in the future. You need not antagonize anyone, even if you don't agree with them. Let this be a learning moment for you. Now you understand about the terminology. If you still don't agree, then stay mute. The best answer for both you and Betty.

I know this isn't part of the theme in this thread, but I just read something in today's
New York Times.
From that Fremont legislator
““Being a juror really has nothing to do with being a citizen,” Mr. Wieckowski said—-
The man is such a moron. The wording in his bill, AB 1401 allows a person in this country only 24 hours to serve on a jury. NO matter that such a individual had lived 64 years, 364 days of his 65 years, entirely in the tribal regions of Pakistan.
The Wieckowski make no distinction between someone in the country for 5 or 10 years vs someone her for 5 or 10 weeks.
Time during which one learns about the culture and accepted practices of a nation.
Only knee-jerk followers of pandering legislators would approve of such a broadly worded piece of legislation.
