Obama will eventually have to tax middle class
Response to post #10: Interesting how the Bush and Sanders administrations are spending as much money as they can as fast as they can today to enrich and empower the Republican Party aristocracy at the expense of the wealth of America, leaving no money for all other Americans who are now devolving back into peasant class just like the old days before democracy. Even more interesting is the fact that this year the majority of San Diegans and 46% of American voters still voted Republican regardless of the consequences that they are destroying American Democracy and the American Way of Life, accelerating the decline and fall events that we read about daily. It's as if republicans no longer bother to read and think because the education system they have politicized has failed to teach them that successful democracy requires independent reading and thinking. The GOP has truly become the religion from Hell.— November 29, 2008 2:49 a.m.
Obama will eventually have to tax middle class
Don, the #1 fact is that everything you have documented that is wrong in America and San Diego today is due to Republican Party domination for far too many years. And the worst consequence is that American education is a total failure, as certified by the facts that 46% voted for McCain-Palin while San Diegans re-elected Sanders and elected Goldsmith in spite of the facts that you and most other journalists have been continuously reporting the decline and fall consequences of Republican Party political polarization that has produced income inequality destroying of the American way of life for at least three decades. Indeed, “we have to start getting serious about education.”— November 28, 2008 2:57 a.m.
U-T Managers Get No News on Sale of Paper, Other Than Something They All Knew
erickskl -- the saddest thing by far is the destruction the U-T has done to San Diego through their corrupt puppet-mayors and puppet-judges that they still have power over today because of their latest winning "Ballot Recommendations" for the two most corrupt politicians in America, Sanders and former judge Goldsmith. So the worst-case scenario that is occurring today is that public health and safety in San Diego are in the disaster mode with out of control cutbacks as a direct consequence of the U-T Establishment’s corrupt puppeticians. "glad that they seem to be going out of business" is an understatement, they are making San Diego into a third world city-state from hell that is worse than New Orleans today.— November 17, 2008 11:45 a.m.
U-T Managers Get No News on Sale of Paper, Other Than Something They All Knew
San Diego’s political Powers That Be have given a whole new meaning to "positive cash flow" due to the three forces that threaten the San Diego economy the most in the 21st century: 1. al Qaeda 2. San Diego Republican Party 3. Union-Tribune Editorial Board— November 16, 2008 3:21 a.m.
Qualcomm, One of County's Major Employers, Stops Hiring After Orders Plunge
It is incredibly sad that one of the greatest corporations in the world is cutting back solely due to the fact the Republican Party has totally failed to protect American Democracy and American Capitalism for eight straight years. The root cause is that the leaders of the Republican Party are responsible for all the worst problems in America that we are overwhelmed with today. And it is not surprising that this problem also exists in San Diego after sixteen straight years of failed leadership by three consecutive republican mayors who have bankrupt San Diego.— November 14, 2008 2:01 p.m.
City Pension Fund Is Only 58 Percent Funded, Council Will Learn Tomorrow. Will It and Mayor Listen?
Johnny Vegas, Richard Rider, historymatters et al. the paramount fact is that we’ve got political and economic problems in San Diego and America that you folks and Don keep documenting, and the root cause is that both the republican and democratic parties have failed to protect American Democracy and American families as their highest priority. I grew up as an “I Like Ike” republican, served in the USAF under Ike, and have hated nazis and communists all my life. But something went terribly wrong with the GOP when Nixon got elected President, which has now gotten totally out of control under “W” and his attacks against the U.S. Constitution, our civil rights and our economy. The facts are that we have political judges who overthrow the Rule of Law as a way of life, and we have far too many politicians like Sanders, Cunningham and “W” along with corrupting GOP special interest groups like the Neocons, U-T Editorial Board, Lincoln Club and Wolverine Network that are actually destroying public safety and the American Way of Life with attacks against taxpayers and families in San Diego and throughout America. Our only hope now appears to be for Obama to be our Great Black & White Hope and save us from the republican party that ironically I have now grown to hate because the GOP has become the party of hate under Nixon and “W”. One other root cause that must not be overlooked though is the failure of American education system due to political interference. Most obvious examples of this failure are “W” and the GOP that have been now undermining American Democracy that requires an education system that works. Most ironically, Ike warned us about this failure mode in his 1961 Farewell Address, but even the GOP marginalized Ike’s grave warning. And a most hellacious consequence is that we have universities such as Berkeley and Harvard that graduate people who have failed to protect and preserve American Democracy. Indeed, history matters, but far too many have failed to learn from the learn from history and have thus failed America.— November 12, 2008 4:46 a.m.

Some U-T Employees See Signs That Sale May Be Imminent. Warning: There Have Been Such Signs Before
I sure hope the era of hate journalism ends soon, and that a San Diego billionaire buys the U-T to maintain community spirit and to restore Democracy and the Rule of Law in San Diego. We need a community newspaper for many reasons as noted on your blogs Don, but the most important is that the Powers That Be have destroyed far too many lives, property and middle class wealth with their hellaciously corrupt politicians and courts.— November 4, 2008 11:29 a.m.
John Kaheny defends rising pensions in San Diego
Response to #22: OK, no one is perfect, but if you had to deal with a corrupt judicial system like Mike does having one of the most corrupt judges in San Diego like Goldsmith shoved in your face, plus a NOGAS electorate, we might all get a little more than irked once in a while.— October 31, 2008 12:04 p.m.
John Kaheny defends rising pensions in San Diego
Response to #19: Our worst failure is allowing a corrupt judiciary to destroy our education system by overthrowing the Rule of Law with criminally arrogant impunity and the result is a NOGAS electorate that allowed a firestorm celebrity like Sanders to be re-elected BuffoonMayor even after the excessive firestorm deaths and destruction he caused because his total failures in leadership.— October 31, 2008 11:14 a.m.
