Radio talk show host, Cam Parry, abandoned any pretense of being an appointed interim commissioner and channeled his inner Billy Mays and PT Barnum at Wednesday’s LOWV governance change forum. [Begins 51:00] Speaking on behalf of the governance ordinance, 6-144, Parry began wearing his sincere face and stumping warmly about democracy and threw in some syrup about how great it was everyone could be there but his hands are visibly shaking and apparently his feet were also pounding under the table because pro charter panelist, John Shank, eventually wearied of it and scolded him. Parry answered questions that were not asked or focused on fragments of questions and statements while ignoring others. One example relates to a charter requirement for 85% of property owners to approve a LID (local improvement district) and Parry seemed to imply 85% voter approval was across the board. Another was when Parry deflected a possible statutory requirement for voter approval when changing the number of commissioners. While I still have my own reservations about the charter, he wound up helping the ARRRG people make a good case for adopting charter measure 6-143.
Meanwhile, CCAP is spending big to promote the ordinance and oppose the home rule charter. OreStar reports indicate $1,989.40 spent opposing the charter and $5,514.10 to support hiring an administrator and converting to a volunteer commission. Some of that appears to have been spent correcting ballot numbers when the group of “businessmen” spent almost $2,000 on signs and banners with the wrong numbers.
I just watched the Blip clip on the right column, and I’ll tell you one thing, John Shank is as disgusted with Parry as the rest of us, did you see his reaction regarding Parry? Remove glasses, rub eyes, put glasses back on and hope to hell Cam Parry was just an illusion. Did you see him? Makes me laugh to see these ass hats are an embarrassment to ANY conservative OR progressive. Makes me like John Shank a lot more. At least there’s a thought process going on.
I think Parry finally admitted he, along with the Sause,SCDC,Knutson Clans hates government too. Why doesn’t Cam just go someplace else and bore THEM with his rubbish? The man talks to hear himself talk, or mutter, what the hell’s he got in his mouth? Did he borrow a mouthpiece from The Godfather? Is that it? He’s trying to be the Don, but all he does is show us his Fredo?
Parry is one sick, pathetic puppy
What’s the old saying, when GOD offered brains, Pary thought GOD said trains and he took one and escaped from California to Barview.
Traveling across three Oregon counties today, seems like all local radio stations within reach, including the Lighthouse religious station, had ads paid for by CCAP. Some favored an administrator, others bad mothed the charter. Most recognized the recent Messerle stated at least $250,000 annual cost for an unneeded administrator. One told the listeners that the charter will cost the citizens a million dollars / year. Isn’t it time that these goofus show us how?
Also, I seldom listen to talk radio. Today I listened to Lars Larson on KPNW (Eugene) – a fellow who is convinced that his poop dont stink. He took on unsuspecting Mayor Tymchuck of Reedsport who is apparently facing a voters revolt. He had the poor bugger crawling away. But, every point that he made reinforced the need for the proposed Herne / Bell charter. I signed the petition. I dont like how the document is written. Two hundred years ago I would not have voted for the US constitution. However, after listening to Larsen, I’m a charter supporter.
Something is wrong with Parry, other than the fact someone needs to slap that shit-eating grin (thanks to my Mama) off his smarmy face. Metaphorically of course. And from which orifice did he pull it will be “labor/cost neutral in two years”? al didn’t even attempt to fly that monkey did he? Really Cam? Show me the facts, show me the materials you worked from Cam.
These very people telling the voters they are going to save them, are the SAME dumb=-ass people who drove this county over the cliff. Let’s not forget how many decades every one associated with SCDC has been labeled as the job makers of Coos County, they are the ONLY job makers that can save them from the poverty we’ve been placed in BY these same people.
The people of Coos County gave them forty damned years to “save” us. Have they? Hell no they haven’t, they need to be run out of town on their own damn rusted rail.
Cam is a disgusting snake-oil salesman….if he were smarter, I would think him a sociopath, but he’s just a garden-variety shuckster. Glad people are recognizing it and calling him on it.
Sociopaths have above average manipulations skills but this does not mean they have higher IQs than the rest of us. Cam is a case in point.

Thanks for the definition…Cam definitely exhibits most, if not all of the traits (not sure if he is promiscuous)…and he is surely dead-on with this one: “Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle – Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.”…seems written just for him!
