According to a Gallup tracking poll, Mitt Romney failed to get a boost from last week’s Republican National Convention. An analysis said: “Romney is the third candidate and the first Republican since 1964 to not receive a convention bounce in the Gallup Poll, putting him in the company of George McGovern and John Kerry.” (See the Gallup numbers.) Will President Obama do better in the wake of his Charlotte acceptance speech? If so, how much?
Poll: If Obama Gets a Convention Bounce, What Will Percentage Be?
Mitt Romney’s standing in polls didn’t rise after the GOP met in Tampa; same fate for president?

My daughter made one for me on her laptop... now I see why!
Lucky me though, it was one-of-a-kind!

Poor Tom still unhappy when pet owners DO pick up after their pets?? Yes, Tom, kids do play on their…Read More parents lawns. And on all their neighbors lawn. And in the streets. And on their cars. And demand their neighbors pay for parks programs so the kids parents don't have to. It must be that "we all live in the same community" thing and have to get along thing, eh? Yes, you are as "wierd" (sic) as you guessed. BTW, nice bragging about threatening to make someone eat dog crap from your yard.

My faith has been restored. Looking outside my kitchen window this a.m. I saw a man walking his dog…Read More with a bucket and pick-up grabber. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was cleaning up all of the dog feces along the estuary on Seacoast. I will keep my eyes out for him again so that I can go out and personally thank him for his great volunteer work. What a great IB resident!!

You could call Pacifica Companies...Maybe Alison Rolfson? You could call your local City Council…Read More Representative or go to the Council Meeting early on Wednesday evening and fill out a speakers card and post the same question to the City Council. Share with us what you find out! (If Anything?) Tell them you don't care for the way they pick City Attorneys, City Managers or replacement Council Members in closed session while you're at it.

Looks great!!! I'll be there tomorrow morning for breakfast to let you know!

This is a delaying tactic. They are going to try to appease enough of the groups to break up the…Read More coalition. The IBCC has given away millions to some of the richest men in San Diego County. Why are the people forced to take a hair cut on the budget crisis. Let the city employees who stood by and did nothing while getting raises as IB was looted.
Sincerely,

Thank you for posting this. Great job to all who were involved with the Alternative Solution to IB…Read More Sports Park Privatization Planning Committee.
While the above referenced "delaying tactic" is likely true, it will be up to the community's grassroots activism to force the council to a public decision on the issue.
Their "delaying tactic" comes with a price in 2014 - when two council seats and the mayors seat is up for grabs.
Who's interested?

Mayor Janney seems anguished at finding a process he can still control ? Probably so he can finish…Read More the deal and deliver the goods; per the previous DONE DEAL. He acts like; No matter what process they do, the only decision will be YMCA.
16:08 Janney: "We can appoint our plants on the committee?"
Gary Brown: "Oh Yea!"
"OH YEA!"

If the YMCA took over ownership of Municipal Property and then went Bankrupt....would tax-payer assets be sold off to the highest bidder via Bankruptcy Proceedings? Maybe the YMCA is going to pass the properties through to another entity that will buy them out when they file for planned future bankruptcy? Hey ...If the YMCA is running the Municipal Pools in Chula Vista and National City now...maybe they'd like to build a pool for Imperial Beach with their own money; since all the Imperial Beach RDA money went for "OTHER PROJECTS"?
Is this a classic struggle over who controls the children in the community?

I have been here in IB for ten years and maybe shopped at moldies/Wallys a dozen times 9 of those…Read More were for wine.
The first experience at walley was a sale on bad meat for a BBQ and yogurt that was expired the second time was canned goods that were on sale and I was charged full price the third time was a watermelon well at least the mellon was good ;-/ we need a Whole foods or Trader Joes in IB

Is there any update? I see the flyers as I go around town and I worry about her.

Have you checked Chula Vista AC on Beyer? They pick up dogs in IB that are loose.
Agenta Nines June 13, 2013 at 10:10 pm
i seen a dog that looked like her in a yard on the corner of elder and 3rd. small house. It might be…Read More their dog. but it is worth driving by
How about a larger issue. Are recessions inevitable with Capitalism, is this healthy, or can we do better.
thought so..nic e to have it confirmed.. doug
Our goal should be to live justly and to promote societal justice. My goal is not to elect a preacher-in-chief but a commander-in-chief

Would the above comment be an example of the selflessly disciplined, journalistic neutrality to which you referred earlier?
4:36 pm on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 @Alex....................we know no matter what is said you'll be pulling the lever for Obama............... **************************************** True....the Republicans certainly didn't give me an option. We need a 3rd party in this country desparately. But it would do great damage to the right wing extremists...they would lose all semblance of respectability as the level headed moderates abandon them in droves.
And it is ok to be gay. Do you have any rational argument against being gay - and please - religious dogma is not rational argument.
this is, as i uderstand it, an OPINION thread..and i have opinions that i would not necessarily air in NEWS stories..are you saying that the rest of you can write YOUR opinions, but i'm not entitled? doesn't work that way.. doug
Your creator said in Psalm53................"The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Being I take it you are in that category. Then outside of the moral law I can tell you nothing as you don't want anything that pertains to religion.
ashamed of what they say.
8:41 pm on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 Non-religious extremists make sure homosexuality is taught in public schools. ***************************** Really? What is it, like Homosexuality 101....I never found that course in any school I ever went to, how about you....tell me where they are teaching that course or did you just dream that.
8:03 pm on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 @Alex.............Sorry I don't agree with that........they love the homosexual but hate the act..................just a say'in 88888888888888888888888888 How much emotional damage does that position do to a 13 or 14 year old trying to come to term with his orientation. See Michael...there is certain element of thickheadedness about some religions way of going about their holy then thou ways.
But if his suggestion is, that in an opinion column, one is absolved from responsibility to the truth, then he's lost me. No, more than that, he's simply wrong. Most newsmen, I strongly suspect, tacitly operate with what is known in philosophical circles as the Fact/Value distinction as a given--an unquestioned premise. That's unfortunate (and probably accounts for a great deal of contemporary journalism's odd priorities, misplaced emphases and outright falsehoods). At any rate, in philosophical terms, the Fact/Value distinction--i.e., facts are true, "values" subjective--enjoyed a relatively brief life span. Born during the 18th century, it is already dead.
What is their holy then thou ways?
