Big people talk about issues; small people talk about people
There are too many elected Democrats that subscribe to the leadership technique known as, "go along to get along." Only problem is, these same leaders have gotten stunningly little by going along.— July 13, 2013 7:27 p.m.
Big people talk about issues; small people talk about people
Problem with Filner is that he gives a lie to the third way Democratic Party mode that's been so popular since Bill Clinton. Filner is actually interested in serving the City of San Diego and he fights to do it. I can't stand the Tea Party and their hangers on, but they are aggressive about whatever awful things they want. I'd kill to see the Dems get so energetic about financial reform or health care. And Occupy doesn't count since they stayed so far above the fray they died from from lack of care and feeding (coordinated law enforcement efforts against the groups that hadn't broken any laws didn't help). I'm reminded of what Abraham Lincoln once said about General Grant, "I can't spare this man, he fights." San Diego has precious few leaders that actually fight for something worthwhile.— July 13, 2013 11:36 a.m.
