Response to post #28: U-T and their sycophants at VOSD spew a continuous barrage of deranged rants against Aguirre, and it’s time to expose the corruption of the judge and city councilmen running against him who perpetuate the pension bankruptcy and are establishment puppets.— March 31, 2008 11:28 a.m.

Response to post #26: That means the U-T can continue to get away with death and destruction in San Diego. You could at least have weekly editorials to get out the vote and save San Diego, along with "Ballot Recommendations" to elect Francis, re-elect Aguirre, and encourage Shames to take consumer support to a higher level against the corrupt anti-consumer forces you keep exposing. If The Reader can’t help your readers make the right things happen, then we are screwed for sure.— March 31, 2008 2:11 a.m.
Does Your Broker Claim the Real Estate Devastation Is Almost Over? Statistics Say It May Be Half Over
Response to post #8: Woulda, coulda, shouda seems to be an epitaph for 21st century America and the human race. You're right about Gore and Kerry, but their lose and ours proves that the democratic party is totally dysfunctional and can't even save itself or American Democracy. The fact is that Gore and Kerry both should have won overwhelmingly but the DNC is it's own worst enemy. My representative Susan Davis, our California senators, Clinton, Obama et al. are useless along with the rest of congress, they keep proving that democrats can't lead while republicans keep proving they can get away with anything they want with or without a majority in congress.— March 31, 2008 1:43 a.m.

Response to post #24: Without any "formal combination" San Diego is screwed. It's the same as what is going on nationally with the democrats doing their worst to enable the republicans to win again.— March 30, 2008 11:27 a.m.

Response to post #5: Hell, the fact is that we can't depend on either party because congress and the supreme court are totally dysfunctional in dealing with Bush. If George Washington had known that American Democracy would fail as badly as it has today he would have accepted the crown they wanted to give him in the first place. But with our luck today and the six degrees of separation theory we might have ended up with GWB anyway as the American equivalent of the idiot Prince Charles.— March 30, 2008 11:18 a.m.

Response to post #21: Don, the fact is that Shames, Aguirre, Frye, Francis and The Reader must combine your resources during this election to overthrow San Diego power brokers (defined by you and Goldsborough) or the powers that be shall continue stronger than ever before until they destroy "America's Finest City" with their sabotage.— March 30, 2008 4:25 a.m.

Response to "This is going to be a real estate crash of monumental proportions": At this point let's hope that's all there is, now we have to worry about Treasury's printing machines that are generating the inflation you have been warning about. The consequences of our deranged greed economy shall most certainly result in a whole new way of life in America.— March 30, 2008 3:48 a.m.

Since the latest presidential election campaigns make it appear that American Democracy has devolved back to an state of aristocratic rule as the middle class disintegrates to a state of poverty much like in ancient Greece in the sixth century before Solon and Cleisthenes successfully championed new concepts of rule of law and democracy because the poorer Athenian classes were suffering from similar problems with spiraling debt, one wonders how close we are to social chaos? Maybe we should consider the “New Jersey Solution” and give more thought to laying off judges and puppeticians who do more harm than good in San Diego, which when one reads the Auto Allowances “Watchdog report” in the U-T this morning, means most San Diego puppeticians would be out of a job. Where is an American Pericles when we need one the most?— March 29, 2008 1:23 p.m.

Response to post #16: Re "The so-called liberals on the court are as guilty as the bought-and-paid-for conservative ideologues." That's exactly the same problem we have been talking about with the legislative branches of federal, state and local governments, the republicans are corrupt and the democrats are braindead. What we have proven is that judges from San Diego to Washington are corrupt beyond redemption. Lawyers are selling out Democracy to Totalitarian interests everywhere. But the saddest part locally is that as long as our so called "consumer advocate" refuses to work openly with Aguirre to restore honor and integrity to San Diego government, we are totally screwed. We need for Shames to go after corrupt lawyers because the Rule of Law no longer exists in San Diego, as you keep documenting that San Diego courts are among the most corrupt in America.— March 29, 2008 11:30 a.m.

Response to post #14: If you are correct Don, then Shames must do better by providing public support for Aguirre who along with Frye and Francis need a solidarity movement in these times when even corrupt judges are trying to overthrow Aguirre to maintain the Davies’ totalitarian state in the current election. Relative to the San Diego courts, one of the finest people I have ever had the privilege to know and be a neighbor of for decades was a most highly respected San Diego judge. He was my role model for honor and integrity and told us in no uncertain terms that he was totally ashamed of far too many lawyers in San Diego. So when former Supreme Court Justice O’Connor exposed our judiciary for overthrowing the Rule of Law throughout America for money and politics I was not surprised at all. The tragedy is that our last line of defense is our institutionally corrupted system of justice that is now destroying the heart and soul of American Democracy. That’s why I am so angry with Shames when he took $5 million from the citizens of San Diego out of a $40 million water and sewer judgment that should have been $120, allowing the undercharged forces of corruption to keep the $80 million they stole from San Diegans at residential ratepayers expense.— March 29, 2008 2:26 a.m.
