Tom Hamilton Joins Duane Rasmussen in Slamming Brent Regan

Coeur d’Alene School Board member Tom Hamilton listens to a speech during a school board meeting in Coeur d’Alene on Monday, November 12, 2012. KATHY PLONKA kathypl@spokesman.com

It’s been an interesting week on Facebook with Duane Rasmussen making an almost endless stream of drivel to complain about Lincoln Day and Brent Regan. We’re sure tomorrow will bring more gnashing of teeth and whining from him… but we wonder for what gain? Duane my dude, let it go. If you were as abrasive at Lincoln Day as you are in your posts, then we can fully understand why security took issue with you. Kudos to the many good people that chimed in to set Duane in his place. We can only hope it sinks in.

But we found a little surprise in a thread by Dan Gookin complaining about Lincoln Day as well. (We suggest Dan and Duane get together for a big cryfest!) Tom Hamilton who at one time seemed to be getting more conservative made a serious reveal. This was in context with several bash Brent Regan comments. We’ve known you’re socially liberal Tom (wink, wink), but now you’re joining in this unholy fight against Brent? Tom you big lug, you can do better than being a lukewarm bland moderate.

Brent keep up the great work, we fully support you in what you’re doing!

Alex Barron and ABCISP, Inc. Part 2

After publishing our previous post regarding Alex Barron’s company ABCISP, Inc, a few observations and questions were brought to our attention by dedicated readers.

On Alex’s website AlexBarron.com he claims to have had one of the fastest growing companies in the San Diego area, two years running. This is all fine and dandy, but by what qualifications did he use to make this claim? As best we can tell his company never exceeded 17 employees. With that, if it was a fast growing IT company, that would equate to it being highly sought by larger corporations. Why was Alex not bought out, but instead his company was suspended for not paying taxes?

Furthermore, if Alex’s business was going so well, then why did he have at least 2 lawsuits against it? The first was when Sky Electronics took ABCISP, Inc. to court 6/29/2009 and later won a judgement for $7099. In 2012 a Writ of Execution Returned was returned unsatisfied (meaning the sheriff attempted to collect the debt but failed). It is unclear if he ever paid this debt. https://unicourt.com/case/ca-sd-sky-electronics-inc-vs-abcisp-inc-652988

The second lawsuit was when CDW Corporation took ABCISP, Inc. to court in 2010 and won a judgement for $15,338.12. It is unclear if this debt was paid, or is outstanding. https://unicourt.com/case/ca-sd-cdw-corporation-inc-vs-abcisp-inc-482345

Now we at Chuckleberries understand in the corporate world lawsuits happen. But if ABCISP, Inc. was as profitable as Alex claims, then why was he having financial trouble in 2009-2010? Why can’t you just be honest Alex and tell people you had some business problems, but you got them fixed? And lastly, have you satisfied these debts?

Alex Barron and ABCISP, Inc.

At Chuckleberries Online, we are committed to exposing liberalism in political candidates who bill themselves as conservative. Over the years we’ve exposed flaws in numerous candidates…and to their credit a few have adjusted and become more conservative. As such, none of our posts are meant as an attack or to be mean. Instead we report the facts as best we can, with hopes it informs voters of what they’re getting with each candidate.

With that being said, we have some serious questions for Alexander Barron, and we invite him to comment on this post or email us at chuckleberriesonline@gmail.com. Any explanations he gives, we will gladly post in full, with hopes it clears some of the murkiness.

In October 2001 Alex founded ABCISP, Inc. in the state of California. Within months he already had contracts and was up and running. We commend him for that. However for a guy that claims to be a fiscal conservative, we were alarmed to find much of his work was in the form of DOD contracts, and for state and local governments. Alex preaches he is for smaller government, yet he was always quick to take lucrative contracts from government entities. With that he used a 8(a) disadvantaged business status to insure he had first priority for government contracts. Currently ABCISP is suspended in the state of California by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB). ABCISP, Inc. is not registered in the state of Idaho nor has it ever been. (See document below)

The questions

  1. If Alex is for smaller government, then why was most of his work with the government?
  2. Why was ABCISP, Inc. suspended, will Alex willingly divulge this information? If it was for non payment of taxes, will he have this debt cleared up prior to the primaries?
  3. Has Alex ever used an Idaho address for ABCISP, Inc.?Lastly, it is our hope Alex has a reasonable explanation for each question, and it’ll help him tighten up ship.

As always, Chester, aka Bob

KCRCC Lincoln Day 2020

Yet another Lincoln Day is in the bag folks…and it was packed and a fun time. The Chuckleberries team got to rub elbows with many elected officials and candidates, plus see many old friends. A few of the highlights from our perspective you might not hear elsewhere:

  1. The flash mob was a cute spontaneous addition. Well done to whomever organized it! (Shut your pie-hole Duane, it was fun!)
  2. We never knew Bill Whittle was a gamer, nonetheless he made some interesting points from that perspective.
  3. The VIP section was off the chain…if you didn’t go, next year please do.
  4. The volunteers helping out did an outstanding job.

Take-away from the candidates:

  1. Richard Whitehead- We enjoyed what you said in your campaign speech, but your bald eagle comparison to your last name seemed to fall flat with the crowd. Other than that, you did a great job.
  2. Alex Barron- Both when we spoke with you, and in your speech you didn’t really reveal anything of substance about what you’d bring to the table if elected. You just stick with the typical talking points that any conservative should believe…you gotta do better than that if you wanna get votes. And your dig that you’re the only true conservative in the race….dude that was not only low, but off the charts grade A narcissism. At least you were friendly in person, and yes we did appreciate your humor.
  3. John Grimm- Was disappointed we didn’t get to hear you speak, but we did enjoy visiting with you and your wife.
  4. Bob Norris- We missed chatting with you in person, but you did a good job working the crowd in your campaign speech. Not sure using being from Cali worked being both a strength and a liability worked as intended…but in context it held water and the crowd seem to enjoy.
  5. Marc Eberlein- I’ll admit I was indisposed for part of your speech. But what I heard you did a great job…and it seems you shot from the hip without a prepared speech. Bonus points for that.
  6. Tim Kastning- Enjoyed mingling with you in the crowd and hearing what you stand for. Wish you’d have been able to speak…we can’t wait to hear more from you.
  7. Doug O- I don’t know how we missed talking to you…kept seeing you in passing and saying “howdy”, but little more than that. Was hoping to hear you speak as well, to see how you handled a crowd.

Rumor: Pete Riggs Running for Office

Pete was gonna run for office…but then he got high. He was gonna represent…but then he got high. He wants to be in politics, and we know why…’Cause he got high, because he got high, because he got high. (Apologies to Afroman)

Chester has heard from numerous reliable and a few questionable sources that Pete Riggs, aka Ganja Pete is wanting to run for Senate seat 3. He’ll be joining Alexander “I have nothing to hide” Barron, and ex-county commish Marc Eberlein.

Cathyann Nonini, better known by her street name Karen Manager-Slayer, is assisting him in his run for office. Word is his sister Jennifer Drake will be erecting art throughout CDA with the Communist hammer and sickle in his honor…funded by the citizens of CDA.
