The Mayor and the Mouth
Sep 21st, 2007 by Mark
Mike Aguirre, the wannabe Sultan of San Diego is at again. This time Mike Aguirre is worried about our water supply. Huh? Yea, I agree. Why is the City Attorney worried about the water supply? Here is a hint: he’s a showboat and looking to get elected to higher office.
San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and City Attorney Michael Aguirre renewed recent calls for voluntary water conservation Friday in the face of reduced supply and historically low rainfall.
But in dueling news conferences separated by half an hour, Sanders said it was premature to declare an emergency to make conservation mandatory as Aguirre suggested.
Hey Mikey, how about worrying about your job — the one you have — instead of the one you don’t have. You are not a city councilman, so stop trying to do their job.
The two news conferences continued an escalating war of words over water issues between Sanders and Aguirre. Aguirre began making public comments about water policy in recent weeks after a legal decision last month that could limit the city’s access to water out of the Sacramento Delta.
However watching the Mayor get it stuck to him is fun. Just wish Mikey would do his job, and it has nothing to do with the water supply.
The Mayor’s Race
Jerry Sanders and his Pro-Homosexual agenda are set to face Businessman Steve Francis. Sanders made it official he is running for Mayor. Too bad he sucks at the job.
There is little question Mayor Jerry Sanders’ tearful turnaround in support of gay marriage Wednesday leaves him more vulnerable to conservative businessman Steve Francis in the June 3 election.
But even in this age of 24-hour analysis, it could take weeks to sort out how Sanders’ decision to abandon a campaign position he staked out in 2005 will affect his 2008 prospects with independents and moderates.
He lied to get elected. He then allowed the city to become a litigation target, and how he wants to get more time in the saddle. Hmm, I say: no thanks Jerry.
En route to the event, Sanders’ strategist Tom Shepard said the campaign received less than a dozen cancellations for the fundraiser in light of the mayor’s decision to sign a City Council resolution to submit a legal brief in support of gay marriages to the state Supreme Court.
Earlier, Sanders had said he would veto the resolution, but at an emotional news conference he said his decision to support it was based partly on his oldest daughter’s sexual orientation.
I wonder who got to him? Could it be a nice fat donation from the pro-Homo crowd? You have to wonder what this guy was thinking. It seems obvious to me that Sanders was preparing to do this all along. His support of anti-family actions has been center-stage for the last 2 years. I have to assume that the time on the job has made him show his liberal stripes, that or he was indoctrinated.
All of this on top of the fact that he allowed violent protestors to destroy the dedication of the Pete Wilson monument and then turn around and kept protestors who he did not side with away from radical anti-American gatherings, the next week. Sick.
