There is a close election coming up to replace Filner. A RAT supported by all the unions and GOP Faulkner..a good guy. At stake is the future of San Diego. Whether or not the RATS take over completely and give the Unions everything they want. Maybe this will help Faulkner..since he is clean and most of the money went to RATS. Why they wanted the police chief fired must be related to drugs and immigration. He is a straight shooter and they want a crook.
A good guy? He may be slightly better than his union-owned opponent, but he is far from good.
So I went to Faulconers website. Not one word about his party affiliation, despite nearly $1 million in donations from mostly Republican individuals and (non)-affiliated committees. Not a peep about positions on social issues, despite his campaigns assertion Faulconer is pro-choice, supports the Dream Act, supports Californias gun control laws, which are the most liberal in the country, etc.

Faulconer campaign spokesperson Tony Manolatos even challenged Spin to prove that his boss was a social, as well as acknowledged fiscal, conservative, a word you wont likely hear Faul coner utter often while on this hyper-compacted campaign trail.
Manolatos rattled off Faulconers stewardship of Mission Bay while a councilmember, his pro-choice and -LGBT stances and his commitment to gun control as evidence of a social liberal in the making.
