Gosh, Manchester and his GOP cronies will think they've died and gone to Heaven if Filner resigns. And Manchester won't even have any of Filner's blood on his hands, Filner's own party will have done him in.
No wonder so many people don't vote.

Turmoil in the city that calls itself "America's Finest", whatever that means. As I think I said when Filner became a candidate for Mayor, the guy is way past his expiration date. He's just making it too easy for Manchester and his cronies to depose him.

The headline in this morning's Manchester fishwrap: "FILNER: I NEED HELP". For what, being a politician? I can understand that. Why anyone, especially a 70-year-old, would WANT to be mayor is beyond me.

It's not like I care who is the mayor of SD, I don't even live in the burg. It's about billionaires trying to run our political life through their media properties, such as the UT, WSJ, and Fox News, plus possibly the LA Times if the Koch boys buy it. And the first and foremost item on their agenda is to make the American people hate their own government. And guess who will step into the vacuum to take control when our government is dismantled?
Frankly, I believe billionaires are anti-democracy, not just here but all over the world.

As I said earlier, I was very happy when Filner left this district to become mayor of San Diego. He is their problem now. My only real dislike there was that he would attempt to change San Diego even more liberal which would influence smaller cities. He thought he would have more power there than his previous congressional seat. The man is a sleaze! I believe I previously, in some other thread, that I had met Filner many many times at a variety of neighborhood meetings. He focused very heavily on minorities during these meetings. It wasn't all politics either. I have been privy to many talks about how he "handled" women, tried to date them and then used his powers to intimidate them from going to the authorities. He held on conference where he did not deny the charges, the realizing he was in hotter water, held another conference stating he did nothing sexual and that he was only guilty of being intimidating in the office. Well, it all started years ago long before he was mayor. Yes he was intimidating in the office, just like in the other parties/meetings, so that he could silence them from charging him with sexual crimes. If he doesn't resign, I hope that the full truth comes out and buries his career! I guess his fiance believes him, then she deserves him! He has a lot of high level supporters who want his butt for what he is bringing upon the democrat party. He won't find many allies is anything he wants to get done from here on out. He likely won't get re-elected either. He best resign, let that cat stay in the bag and move on making his future quests supporters question the cat and not know the truth.

This thread could be renamed Filner vs The People
I haven't followed this much until today but it has been common knowledge Filner is/was a low-life, scum-bag for decades. But who cares, he's a democrat and that is all that matters to get the D vote.
I did get a kick listening to the old prune Donna Frye blast him today. I could not help but wonder if it were jealousy since she never got hit on. Sorry that has bad.
SD is now leaderless and Busby along with Bob should be deported.

"The people" are the ones who voted in Filner. It was Manchester, with his propaganda rag the UT, who were gunning for him. Fortunately for Doug, it appears Filner has self-destructed, and champagne corks will be flying in gated McMansions all over the county when he resigns. Maybe the Dems will think twice about running some geezer for mayor next time. Old folks should graciously make way for younger candidates. Are you listening, Feinstein? Of course she isn't..

Howdy all, I am back! jd, you must be sobbing for the debacle that is Filner! Turk, can Francie Busby ever make a decision? I am wondering why Donna Frye is trying to rid City Hall of that ugly creature, Bob Filner! Could it be damage control?

Yes, I was enjoying flaky geezer Bob sticking his finger in the eye of the SD GOP Establishment, but if you read back, I was unhappy that Filner was the Dem candidate to begin with. Proper behavior in the workplace has changed considerably in the last 40 years, but apparently Bob didn't get the memo. Busby never impressed me, but I respect Donna Frye more now. I don't think it was easy for her to do what she did.

jd, Filner has been doing this kind of workplace harassment for YEARS! Ms Saldana gave the dems a head's-up 2 years ago regarding Filner, why didn't Donna F. listen? Gee the central committee split 24/24, so I guess the dems are going to support Filner sort of, maybe! And the city of SD, well expect tax increases in order to pay for the lawsuits! Just who is it who is "warring" against women?!?! Well done dems!!!!

Can't disagree with you one bit on this, Lou. Dems are making themselves look pretty bad, just to save Filner's egotistical perv ass. Glad I'm not a Dem, both parties are run by idiots.

Frankly, if I was a Democrat, I wouldn't even CARE if Filner was guilty or innocent, he would have to walk the plank for the sake of the party. As it is, I can only laugh at what spineless liberals (thanks, CB) the Democrats are. Throw Filner under the bus, losers!

Officially charged with sexually harrassment! And now a second woman has come forward with her story. Believe me, there are a LOT more if only they too would come forward.
