Ken Sherman, 40th District california

By: Kender, Filed under: GOP And RINOs , General @ 7:45 pm

The title of this post is specifically to get it shown at the top of searches on Google so that when people search for Ken Sherman they find it and know why I think he shouldn’t be running for the Assembly seat in the 40th District of California which he is seeking.

Ken Sherman is a piano teacher, which while being a noble and decent profession, in no way qualifies him for a political office.

You can see the first post I did on Sherman here. I explain in that post why he shouldn’t even be consider by anyone that considers themselves a conservative, but I want to recap that and tell you why I am posting about this again.

Ken Sherman has posted (and taken down when it was pointed out what he did) anti-semitic videos on his only website, a myspace page. Any candidate for an office higher than Student Council at a high school should have an actual website. I have no idea if Ken is running a campaign on the cheap, he doesn’t know any better or he is simply thinking that only a myspace page is good enough, because Ken won’t return calls.

Ken has also promoted events sponsored by Move On Dot Org, an extremely far left group. The event he promoted on his myspace page was a candle light vigil against the war, which by default means he is against the troops.

Ken’s campaign manager has posted lies about Ken’s opponent, Armineh Chelebian, while at the same time failing to divulge his position in the campaign. While it may not be illegal to post comments without divulging your position in a campaign, it is extremely unethical to do so, especially when you are posting comments in favor of your employer and posting lies about your employers opponent.

Theer has been some speculation amongst some activists here that Ken Sherman is a mole from the Democrat party, and is only running to secure the nomination so he can drop out and leave the seat uncontested for the Democrats. If Ken Sherman does win next Tuesday, and drops out of the race I’d like to see the Attorney General of California open an investigation into Ken’s finances and those close to him. I’d be willing to bet that if he is a mole, he has a handshake deal with the Dems to get paid for securing the seat for them. But that’s just a theory of mine.

I tried several times to speak with Ken, and after reaching him on his cell he said he’d call me later. His steadfast refusal to get together for a one on one so he could present his side of the issues is proof positive to me that he is hoping to ride this out until Tuesday.

So spread the word. Don’t vote for Ken Sherman if you live in the 40th district in California. If you do and by some stretch of the imagination he wins you will be getting what you voted for. An unresponsive person of questionable character.

*DISCLAIMER; These are my thoughts only. I am not connected in any official capacity with any campaign for any office.

    Kender talked with Sherman on the phone, and no, there aren’t any lies here. What’s amazing is - Sherman couldn’t answer any of Kender’s questions - and accused Kender of being “rightwing”. That’s kind of odd from someone calling himself a republican, isn’t it?

    From Kender’s post about the phone conversation with Ken Sherman:

    His campaign manager, Sean Fudge, has posted what I called lies, when Sean said Ken’s opponent, Armineh Chelebian couldn’t even say “illegal immigration” in the same sentence, when he should have been well aware that Armineh has a section in her website explaining where she stands. When asked about it Ken said he has been to some of his opponents speeches, and he has not HEARD her say anything in those speeches about illegal immigration THEREFORE what his campaign manager said about Armineh was NOT a lie at all.

    I still say it was a lie. His campaign manager said the following;

    Ken’s the only person in this whole campaign willing to tackle The subject of Illegal Immigration. The other canadites (sic) can’t even say those two words in the same sentence. We all know most of our budget shortfalls stem from massive unchecked Illegal Immigration and out control Democrat spending.

    He should have known full well from Armineh’s website where she stands on illegal immigration, even if she doesn’t use the exact words “illegal immigration” because she uses the phrase “stand in line” as it relates to immigration. If this isn’t a stance on illegal immigration I don’t know what would be.

    Ken also claimed his website was hacked by people trying to make him look bad. First off, while that is a possibility, the first thing one does when one gets hacked, as soon as they are secure again, is to post something stating that they were hacked. Ken never did. If I were him I would have not only posted about being hacked but I would have posted something official from myspace about having been hacked.

    Speaking of myspace, what kind of campaign can be taken seriously when it has only a myspace website as an online presence?

    Anyway, Ken should have had a more secure website than a free myspace page for his campaign, and blames some nebulous “people trying to make him look bad” as the reason he appeared to be promoting a move on event and had anti-semitic videos on his site. Sure Ken, and those documents in Sandy Bergers socks just fell in there by accident and he didn’t notice them until he got home.

    Riiiighhhht.

    Now back to Ken saying something I wrote made him look like a democrat. It was actually early in the conversation but I wanted to save this bit for last, as it perfectly illustrates my point. I didn’t say he was a democrat, I said he was ACTING like a democrat, and he is, to wit;

    His campaign posted, well, let’s’ call them “misleading statements” about his opponent, just like the democrats do.

    Ken is not taking responsibility for having an unsecured website. That website was allegedly hacked to his detriment. As it is his campaign it is his job to either make certain he has what he needs or to assign that task to someone, so either he failed himself in this area or someone failed him in this area. Either way at the end of the day it is his responsibility to take responsibility for the campaign and what its officers do or don’t do, and he is failing to accept the responsibility for something that he clearly should. Just like a democrat.

    Third, he called me Saturday morning while I was out of town, to say he couldn’t call before that because he was at work, whine about what I had written while calling it lies (which is a lie itself) and try to defend his shoddy campaign and the lies his manager had spouted online. So to add to the lying and refusing to take responsibility for things he should have we’ll add in whining.

    Just like a democrat.

    I don’t even recognize the republican party today–it looks like the democratic party of 30 years ago. But supporting moveon.org? Anti-semitic videos -and then took them down when it was pointed out? He sounds more like Jimmy Carter! C’mon!

    And he has the song “Mrs. Robinson” on there. I wonder what the heck THAT means.
