But theres a republican war on women? >> it is preposterous. the thing is, democrats, and a lot of women in the democratic party are hypocrites. when you point it out, theres a definition of hypocrite. theres also his spokesperson, sorry, chief of staff, quoted on another network the other day, saying the mayor is surround bied sophisticated advisers. if youre a democrat, thats all that matters. if you have a progressive vision, pro-choice, doesnt matter how you conduct yourself in public office...

Injured has a right to file a claim or level allegations, and that triggers a legal process which also presents due process rights for the accused. i believe in the legal process, and i know that at the end of the day if the mayor has done what he is accused of doing, that process will result in the correct remedy. until then, ive got to step up and make sure that the business of the city of san diego moves forward. >> miss burdick, i appreciate your point about due process and absolutely agree ...
