| No More Berman: Sherman all the Way |
One resident in the Valley shared with me that, and I agree with him, that Berman's arrogant assumption of running as "the incumbent" has turned them off, and rightfully so.
There are no incumbents in the currently redistricted congressional districts. Henry Waxman is an incumbent as he is currently serving in Congress, as is Berman, yet their long-standing tenure has created a machine which is contrary to the best interests of the state and the country.
Indeed, more independent legislators are needed in Congress, and if Brad Sherman is willing to follow the spirit of the rest of the reform-minded Californians who want legislators who will respond to their needs and respect their rights as opposed to voting with their party and their own limited interests, then he deserves to win the seat in the 30th Congressional District.
I mince no words on this matter: I would prefer a tried-and-true conservative, but since Ms. Shelley did not win one of the top-two spots after the June 6 primary, I am willing to settle for the candidate who has more freedom, who is willing to reach out across party lines and honor every voter in his district, regardless of their party affiliation.
Can you name one piece of legislation Sherman introduced to try and stop the crises from happening. He was on the committee that was responsible for overseeing the banks. Berman voted wrong on the bailout, but he at least made an effort to stop the crises from happening and he wasn't even on the committee with oversight responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteI cannot.
DeleteMy biggest interest is to see the Berman-Waxman machine end once and for all.
Berman's loss is Waxman's loss is our gain.
As for reaching across party lines, Sherman did that when he was in a marginal district, but no more. He has the same political consultant as Tom Hayden and has become a political ally of the far left.

DeleteSherman is the "wrong" guy who did the "right" thing.
I am convinced that voters who do not like Sherman will prefer him slightly compared to Berman, and then there is always 2014. . .
Except that this is a safe Democratic seat. If nothing else, Berman is older and won't be around as long. As for the Waxman Berman machine, does it even exist anymore. Sherman and his cronies are supporting candidates all over the place and using their Westside connections to fund left wingers.
