Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Thursday

Mayor Sam Exclusive: Open Feuding in the Jimmy Gomez for Assembly Campaign Team?

 Sources tell Mayor Sam that the Jimmy "PAC Laundryman" Gomez Assembly Campaign, is in disarray with Amy Wakeland (pictured above with "partner" mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti) sending out panic emails that blame Campaign Consultant Mike Shimpock, for the pending election demise of the Riverside carpetbagging, political transplant. 

 While Wakeland pleads for help in saving the Gomez Campaign, Shimpock has incorporated a robo call message from another carpetbagging politic from San Diego State Senator Kevin de Leon, to attack candidate Luis Lopez for running a campaign of smears. One irate recipient of the robo calls went as far to call Senator de Leon's office in Sacramento. 

But as the Gomez Campaign implodes from within, voters from throughtout the 51st AD are taking a stand against a political machine that has not absorbed the political lesson of 1999, where another machine-backed carpetbagger was rebuffed by the voters, just ask Victor Griego.

** The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street (aka LA Obama/Antonio/Angeles Times) was sad to report that Californians are turning their backs on Governor Moonbeam II's Prop 30 that would raise taxes on the more well to do.

** But in a rare moment of journalistic objectivity, The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street rightfully opines that the voters, not Mayor Antonio Villar, should decide whether to change the fundamental functions of the City Attorney's office.

** What is up with a bunch of LA's rich white guys parading down to City Hall to support Mayor Villar's "weenie pension reform proposal?

Lastly, a special message for CD 12 City Councilman Mitch Englander

We want to commend you, along with your fellow councilmembers Bernard Parks, Jan Perry and the "Average Joe" Buscaino, for voting no against Councilman Ed Reyes attempt to place a political litmus test on new business in the City of Los Angeles, by banning Walmart from opening its Chinatown location, we just hope Mitch that whatever pressure is being exerted to change your "No" vote, will come to naught.

We bring you S G & A Mike Shimpock's "Jump the Shark Moment" on behalf of Jimmy " PACman" Gomez

"The Bloggin Committee to BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger) in the 51st Assembly District" approves this "Jump the Shark Moment" by S G & A's Mike Shimpock, on the behalf of Echo Park (really Angelino Heights, if Jimmy reads his GPS properly) via Riverside, California, 51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez. 

BAN the Political Carpetbag(ger), save an exploited Burrocrat!

** Committee Chair notes: We were forward this ....., well, lets just say that S G & A's Mike Shimpock has gone the Happy Days "Fonzi Jump the Shark Route", in his defense of client, 51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez. As is our usual style here at Mayor Sam, we post Shimpock's rant in its entirely (with bloggin commentary in bold). From the Echo Park Patch .BTW Shimpock, going "MEAT" (referring to losing consultant Michael Trujillo) in the comment section, is a waste of your client's "PAC laundry Money".

Don't expect any "prime cuts of campaign truth" regarding the true residency of 51st AD Candidate Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez from his S G & A Campaign Consultant Mike Shimpock.

Using a common dirty campaign tactic of filing a fake complaint with the District Attorney’s office and then claiming an “investigation” in order to smear his opponent, Luis Lopez has sunk to criminal lows. (Did your associate Parke pioneer those campaign tactics?)

Lopez had a listed endorser file a false complaint with the District Attorney’s office regarding Gomez’s residency in order to create confusion and controversy. The complaint challenges Jimmy Gomez’s residency.(Should the D.A. be the final arbitrator of what charges are false, and not a paid political hack?)

This is ironic, since Gomez has lived in the 51st District more than a year longer than Lopez. Lopez moved into the district and registered on the last day legally allowable to make him eligible for office, and has only been registered to vote in Los Angeles since 2008.(Please note that the shark is devouring Shimpock's pathetic false spin after fail jump) 

This is the type of smear I would expect from a Republican. Jimmy Gomez has lived in Los Angeles since 1996, except for brief times spent at Harvard, in Washington D.C. and to care for his dying father. (This is a "repugnant attempt" to use Jimmy's dead dad as a shield to hide the carpetbagging lies)

But what more can you expect from a candidate willing to lie about not only his opponent’s residency but also try to pilfer the endorsement of the Democratic Party? (Or buy the democratic machine endorsement through alleged "PAC laundry money".from nurse's dues)

Lopez recently sent a mailer to district voters asserting he was the “only democrat” in the race. This, too, is false. Jimmy Gomez is the officially endorsed candidate of the Democratic Party. (Correction, the official establishment machine democrat)

Eric Bauman, Chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, said, regarding this mailer:, “the Democratic Party endorses only one candidate in this race, Jimmy Gomez.  Claims of an endorsement by any other candidate are false. The Democratic Party has been fighting this kind of false and deceptive behavior for many years. It misleads voters and is wrong.(Most Democrats are born to mislead and serve the Special Interests like the Carpetbagging Jimmy "PAClaundryman" Gomez)

Luis Lopez will do anything to get elected, even manipulate the law and lie about the Democratic Party. He is unqualified for office, and apparently knows that himself if he feels the need to stoop to this level. (BTW Mike, ask Parke about those 80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES that he credited to the vision of the Jimmy's machine supporter Mayor Antonio Villar).

BTW, what did Jimmy "PAC laundryman" Gomez say again about his residency?

No wonder, Jimmy claims that he is the victim via Eagle Rock Patch's Peter Choi, who noted our coverage of his superb work ........................

Two days later, my little blog was picked up by one of LA’s top political blogs,Mayor Sam’s Sister City. Under the headline “A Call to Investigate the
"Dubious Carpetbagging Ways “of Jimmy "PACman" Gomez"Dubious Carpetbagging Ways “of Jimmy "PACman" Gomez”, they supportedmy efforts to uncover the truth and noted:

..... and will continue to until Election Day.
