Democratic Party demands Filner resign
San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 7/25/2013 | Michael Smolens

Support for San Diego Mayor Bob Filner continued to crumble Thursday as the county Democratic Party demanded he resign amid growing accusations that he sexually harassed women.

The party central committee’s call for him to step down comes just one week after the same panel deadlocked on whether to call for his resignation, in part, because at that point the allegations had come from anonymous women.

Since then seven women have forward to publicly accuse the Democratic mayor of sexual harassment.

I agree. I hope he fights to keep his job so San Diegans and all of America can see what you get when you elect a perverted democRAT.

I don’t get it, he’s a Dimacrat; laws and rules don’t apply to them, just like free speech doesn’t apply to us.

That’s gotta be a first. Usually, they circle the wagons.

They've already been there. The same body voted last week and voted not to ask him to resign. They only did so now because he's become the Anthony Weiner of the West Coast.

What do the dummycrats mean when they say he should resign as Mayor...

They are saying he is overqualified for mayor, and should instead be a senator, president even.

Filner spent 20 years in congress representing his perverted constituency. The libs so loved this second-generation commie trash that they happily elected him as the first democRAT mayor San Diego has seen in 20 years. Now they have buyer’s remorse as he has proven to be every bit the womanizing creep as his perverted hero, Bill Clinton.

SCREW THE HARASSMENT, HE BELONGS IN PRISON FOR BRIBARY FOR ACCEPTING $100,000 AND GIVING SUNRISE WHAT THEY WANTED.

GIVING IT BACK AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT JUST PROVES THE CASE!

filthner should scorch the earth on his way out. If he goes down, San Diego should fall with him.

I don’t get it either . The Dems must know there is something worse lurking . They don’t care about forced kisses or pinches on the fanny . I would bet it has nothing to do with sex . Why would they care ? They never have before unless it was a republican .

Filner’s first 7-months as mayor have been a complete disaster. Throughout this entire affair I have consistently said that I hope he fights to keep his job as mayor. He is the epitome of a perverted liberal and should stay in office to remind San Diegans of the filth they get when they choose to elect a liberal.

I think the only reason he won is that De Mayo is queer as a $3 bill.

That is true. Not many conservatives could bring themselves to vote for a pillow biting pervert.
