Who for Mayor?

Yup, I'm still so very not impressed with any of the candidates. I did get a message from Tony Strickland (propane and propane assecories) urging me NOT to vote for Hertzberg since he's just a "partisan Democrat pandering to get Republican votes". Thanks for the update Tony. Hertzberg has been stricken from the list. Who does that leave? Ah yes, Villaraigosa. No way, no how am I ever voting for a man who once was (and is?) a member of the racist organization MECHA. He wants illegal immigrants to have more rights than honest citizens. Villaraigosa is a socialist at heart who wants to solve problems through government mandates. His own constituents are trying to recall him as their councilman since he reneged on a promise, a promise that got him elected in the first place. The promise? He said he wouldn't run for mayor, but would complete all four years of his councilman duties. If the man cannot keep a promise over which he has complete control to accomplish; a promise that simply requires character to fulfill (i.e. he's a man of his word), then why should we trust him to keep any of the promises he's spouting now as a mayoral candidate? If he can't handle the most basic and ethical promise of keeping his word to his constituents, then I don't trust him to keep any other promise that may be more difficult to accomplish. The "V" in Villaraigosa stands for vile.
