HIGHLAND— San Manuel Tribal Member James Ramos appears to be on the defensive these days.
The Board of Supervisors candidate, who has already ducked out on two forums in Lucerne Valley and Yucca Mesa, is now giving Loma Linda the cold shoulder.
After two dismal performances, in candidate forums in Joshua Tree and Highland, Ramos appears to be running away from any events that might contain hard questioning from attendees. Instead Ramos is focusing on so-called pre-planned ”meet and greet” events, containing more friendly audiences.
Ramos’ defiance is a new wrinkle that has frustrated many local business and community leaders.
To further complicate matters, Supervisor Neil Derry, whom Ramos is challenging, is raising serious questions related to Ramos’ claim that he’s a successful small businessman.
In another new development, Ramos, in an interview carried in The Press Enterprise newspaper published October 13th, when confronted, admitted he had permanently closed two of his four businesses, and his remaining two restaurants, located in San Bernardino and Highland, were struggling.
Yet, Ramos insisted he knew how to bring jobs to the county.

An open letter to James Ramos.
My Dear James,
“When I look into your eyes, I see straight through to the back of your head.”
“Anyone who told you to be yourself couldn’t have given you any worse advice.”
“I’m impressed, I’ve never met such a small mind inside such a big head before.”
“You have an inferiority complex and it is fully justified.”
“Are you always this stupid or are you making a special effort today.”
“Don’t let your mind wander, it’s far too small to be let out on its own.”
“I’m glad to see you’re not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance.”
“I don’t think you are a fool, but what’s my opinion compared to that of thousands of others.”
Get over it! Ramos does not need to show up to any of your forum/ambushes. He has the election in the bag.
#1 Anonymous – although mr ramos has chosen the non-transparent way if doing things and refusing to engage with the public, please reserve the inappropriate descriptions. we all have to maintain sone level of civility. i am sure mr ramos has some areas of quality…just not in public leadership or governance. thank you.
Ha ha ha…Red Anon: The voters are finally seeing who Ramos really is: Democrat, Fat Cat, Business Failure, Tax hiker, Jerry Brown Flunkie.
The GOP’s Hansburgerler + DA Mikey Sittin’-in-a-tree KI$$ING…
First comes Love (of money and power), then comes Marriage (to the government corruption needed to gain more money and power)…
Then comes Chief James the Casino Boss and $an Manuel Money man as a candidate in their GOP baby carriage!
@3
…AND FURTHER MORE…
Employer (SBC Voters): “In this job we need someone who can speak in public with responsibility.”
Applicant(James Ramos): “I’m the one you want. On my last job, every time anything went wrong, they said I was responsible.”
@ Forums:
What is the name of the up coming speaker? James Ramos.
You have heard it said before that this speaker needs no introduction. Well, I have heard him and he needs all the introduction he can get.
Anonymous #2:
If James Ramos becomes a County Supervisor, he is going to be expected to show up at a lot of what you refer to as “ambushes.”
What is his strategy going to be to avoid doing so?
Derry hasn’t exactly proven that he is very ethical, it is time to vote someone new in!
Hello:
Comment #8 exhibits the mentality of the demographic group Mike Ramos hoped to influence with the prosecution of Neil Derry.
Other than the Mike Ramos prosecution, what are you referring to when you say that “Derry hasn’t exactly proven that he is very ethical?” Please be specific.
Derry is a great supervisor.James Ramos, not so much. Doesnt pay taxes, isnt very bright, basically pretty stupid….why would vote for this failed businessman again?
#10 – I agree that Derry has done substantially FOR the people here, please refrain from the spirited personal descriptions of Ramos. After all, we are all imperfect. Thank you kindly.
How much money has this moron received from Brad Mitzelfelt???? I would in NO WAY vote for this man! Not in 2012 or EVER!!!
My prediction: There is a PROMISE of a position SOMEHOW in the future if Ramos gets elected. Bradley doesn’t do ANYTHING unless there is a benefit to him and his lame staffers.
