One-term incumbent Neil Derry, left, is facing former San Manuel tribal chairman James Ramos for the 3rd supervisorial district.

San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry won support Tuesday, Oct. 23, from his colleagues to send a mailer to constituents in the days before the Nov. 6 election despite criticism from his opponent who called it political.

“…stated Andre Levesque, Ramos’ campaign spokesman in an email. “It’s wrong. It may pass the legal test, but it certainly doesn’t pass the smell test.”
Wait a minute here…..who doesn’t pass the “smell test”?
Neil Derry is backed 100%, 100%, did I mention 100% by the whole board!
Now Ramos is throwing a tantrum in the back room, sniffling like a baby, while his “spokesman” shoots out a juvenile email, on his behalf, to the press about some “smell test”!!
I bet those mean looking tattooed supporters of Ramos are no longer salivating on the side-lines waiting for the kill, they have dry mouth now, and are disgusted and appalled at Ramos.
ONE THING THEY NEVER COUNTED ON WAS NEIL DERRY’S BRAVERY AND BRAWN IN
CONFRONTING JAMES RAMOS’ LIES HEAD ON!
Neil Derry did not fold his cards and give up…he took off the gloves and went after Ramos BARE KNUCKLES with the TRUTH…and made waves…. EXPOSING James Ramos for the FRAUD and DANGER he is to not just the Third District, but to all of San Bernardino County!
THANK YOU MR. DERRY FOR YOUR HONESTY, YOUR SINCERE DEDICATION TO OUR COMMUNITY, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR BUSINESSES, AND FOR WATCHING OUR BACKS WHEN IT COMES TO UNNECESSARY TAXES AND FEES.
Thank you to the individuals who have been picking up and fixing the NEIL DERRY signs, i.e., on Waterman & 2nd street, and Barton Road- that have been slashed, vandalized, torn and tossed to the ground in obvious rage.
P.S.
WHILE THE DOZENS OF SIGNS AROUND NEIL DERRY’S ARE RESPECTED & UNTOUCHED!
Derry is a great man. A true patriot.
Does James Ramos understand that if he wins, he will have to occasionally speak for himself, instead of using a “spokesman?”
#5
Ramos won’t care, he would have gotten the last laugh just by being elected.
His only words will be “uh, no comment” and what can we do then?
#5….You mean when Ramos wins and yes he will be more than capable of handling the supervisor’s job.
Can someone say 1090?
Anonymous #7:
Can you cite one specific qualification that suggests that James Ramos is “more than capable of handling the supervisor’s job?”
Note: Telling us how Neil Derry a criminal doesn’t count. Neither does the ability to follow the orders of Mike Ramos or Dennis Hansberger.
Also, if James Ramos wins, don’t forget to check back with us a year into his term to see if you still feel that he is “more than capable.”
…”Red”…
Yes, perhaps in the open he will be, after all, his money bought a few Board Members, so they will fill him, put words in his mouth and make him look good- and silly fools can point and say, “SEE, we told you Ramos wasn’t THAT dumb!”
But my fear is what he will be doing after hours with information and winks, and buying, uh, I mean setting up, votes etc., etc.,…this being only the surface of what his handlers, Mafias, and statewide Indian Tribes have in mind once the buffoon is in…he is no Mr. Rogers, no fat purple Barney who “loves everyone”–he knows the stakes for those waiting in the sidelines…and money is no object, THEY HAVE IT, and are spending it like drunken sailors filling our mailboxes with Cinderella lies about Ramos.

If Ramos can pull off a win, you can bet he and his handlers won’t be happy with just the Supervisor position. They will continue to push him up the ladder of corruption and incompetence by throwing his money at those who are stupid enough to help him. Ramos must be stopped now.
Ramos is a democrat and we know how they think. Secondly, he is a tribal thug beholding to the tribe, and not vested in this community beyond the point that they gamble at his casino. Third, he is a virtual unknown regarding any sort of political track record, policy making abilities, etc. All we know is he is Mikey’s pony boy lackey.
How can he even be considered a viable candidate is beyond me.
“How can he even be considered a viable candidate is beyond me.”
How? Well we have CONGRESSMAN JERRY LEWIS to thank for that dangerous and terribly stupid idea!
