Every City needs someone to provide a little humor, to take on the roll of Court Jester. Here at the OJ Blog we have Anonster to bring a little light hearted nonsense to our daily routine. Unfortunately in Mission Viejo we have the King Clown Dale Tyler who is more the fool than the Jester.
If you remember, Dale was the “Good Government” candidate for Mission Viejo City Council who was caught violating a number of California laws during his election. First, Mr. Tyler failed to get his campaign disclosure statements in on time. After finally turning the disclosure statements in late, Mr. Tyler couldn’t get that pesky paperwork right failing to correctly identify the residency of the donors. Then in a really fun twist, it was discovered that 20 year California resident Tyler had failed to register his cars in California (the law requires that this happen within 20 days which is significantly less than the 20 years taken by Mr. Tyler) and worse, he hadn’t bothered to get a California driver’s license and still held a license from Indiana more than 20 years after moving to California. When caught with his hand in the cookie jar Mr. Tyler finally moved to correct these illegal acts. It was unclear whether Mr. Tyler had been embarrassed to say that he was from California or was simply trying to avoid the higher fees associated with California registration. Needless to say, Mr. Tyler was pounded into oblivion in the ensuing election by a DEMOCRAT in largely Republican Mission Viejo.
Instead of skulking back to the hole in the ground that had birthed him, Mr. Tyler launched his own blog (no need to give a link here, if one of you clicked on it Mr. Tyler’s readership would double). In that blog, Mr. Tyler opposes . . . everything. According to Mr. Tyler, the sole purpose of government is to keep roads well paved. In a sad twist of politics, Mr. Tyler has gained a stranglehold on the local Republican caucus, the Saddleback CRA. Under his “leadership” the Saddleback CRA has systematically rejected any membership that challenges Mr. Tyler’s warped and twisted philosophies. Mr. Tyler also uses his blog to launch silly and factually incorrect attacks on everyone not within his tight circle of mental deficients.
What makes this all so sad is that Mr. Tyler’s role in local politics sickens the ordinary citizen tired of political games who wants to work to rebuild the strength of the Republican Party. The only way that Mr. Tyler and his nearly socially blind group of misfits know how to function is through political gamesmanship and dirty tricks – the very things that are turning ordinary citizens against the poltical system today. Were it not for his stranglehold on local politics, Mr. Tyler would be just another fool ranting in a blog read only by his cousin’s sister. Unfortunately this Fool has figured out a way to keep out the rational minded Republican from participation in South Orange County politics.
That is, indeed, sad, because it’s folks like this “Mr.” Tyler who are going to drive the Republican bus right off the cliff! Probably for the last time. Seems to me that Tyler isn’t interested in governing as much as controlling. People like that, regardless of party, need a spotlight on them at all times.
Isn’t this fellow, like, a big ally of our pal Brother Larry? (conveniently on vacation for a while)
Used to be – I think some of the issues addressed above may have negatively implacted that relationship – but I will let Larry speak for himself.
Thank you Geoff. It’s pretty sad too that Dale is a member (leader) of a local gripe group who describe themselves as the Mission Viejo Watch Dogs. Really? During the peak of Mr. Tyler’s dirty tricks the community seemed to be ready to get more involved and as a result some intelligent, honest individuals have become politically active. So maybe Dale did our city a really big favor. Finally the good people of MV have had enough. I always did hate that term Watch Dogs. After helping 35,000 orphaned animals, mostly dogs find great homes at our no kill shelter, I found that term pretty disgusting. My K9 friends are much more honest and direct.
As an occasional target of Mr. Tyler’s, I can attest to the lies and distortions he uses, with little regard for source or style. I suppose his desperate attempt to hold on to his SRA fiefdom and his illusory watchdog status stems from the fact that this so-called grass roots activist could not even muster enough support from his fellow Mission Viejo residents in the Lance MacLean recall a couple of years back to beat a registered Democrat in a one-on-one match.
What is the matter Geoffy–nothing better to do than “Whip A Dead Horse” ?
You have zero history in Mission Viejo and your lack of in depth knowledge of the real facts is obvious to those who know the real details. Stop crying Geoffy, over the facts that you have been systematically rejected by those in a leadership position.
Wow Duane, thank you for perfect example of the “watch dogs” tactics. The way you try to demean Geoff by referring to him as “Geoffy”. Then the classic insult to the author by denying him his “history in MV”. My favorite is the “real facts” statement that not supported by anything but hot air. I would be interested in the “real details” though. What part of Mr. Willis’s article is not true?
Girl Scout Leader–If you knew ANYTHING about what is going on in Mission Viejo –you would not need to ask !
Get with the program !!
Girl Scout Leader – welcome to the wonderful world of MV politics where neanderthals like “Duane Williams” (I know that this will come as a shock to you, but Duane Williams is not his real name) try to insult and bully folks around. The end game is to disenfranchise all of those with opinions that differ from theirs. One of the ways that they try to shut people up is by saying that they have lived here longer than you, therefore it is physically impossible for you to know as much as they do. Secondly, they cast childish insults about as if opponents will run away from the schoolyard bully. Finally, not being big fans of the truth, they will cast out vague allegations and lies that are usually just short of creating liability for liable (example here is the statement is that I “have been systematically rejected by those in a leadership position.” Since I led the winning Measure D campaign and have never been “rejected” by anyone in a leadership position, it makes it kind of difficult to even respond to the asinine remark.)
Gosh Duane, now you try to bully me? You do realize that you just confirmed my observations don’t you? By the anger in your remarks you do sound more like Francis Holtzman. I know this will shock you….but Girl Scout Leader is not my real name either.
