Tea Party In San Francisco California? Are freaking kidding me?
LOL, good point, if there is a Libtopia that's the place. They probably stripped funding from the fire department to put up a sculpture or some other dumb ass ****.
... i do understand that we should focus on issues and not personalities but I have to ask what possesses a person to post a thread making this kind of statement.
TEA PARTY to blame for a San Fransisco policy that prevented responders?
give me a break.
This thread just goes to prove that the far left is either:
1) incapable of utilizing common sense
or
2) desperately trying to distance themselves from the irresponsible spending that has brought them to this point

"This just strikes me as not just a problem with funding, but a problem with the culture of what's going on in our city, that no one would take the time and help this drowning man," KGO quoted resident Adam Gillitt as saying.
Pretty much sums it up. San Fransisco has largely become void of that element of morality which differentiates humans from beasts.

It is such a great city. Just one big dam shame liberal freaks got control.
When I am standing on one of the gun turrets from the Civil War era Fort Point staring out at the Blue Pacific underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and close my eyes, the ocean breezes and wonderful sea smells blank out what a liberal cess pool the city has turned into politically. Just for a few minutes then I open my eyes and its back.
"Infinite" is not a word you expect to find in a report on municipal spending. It's more of a science fiction–type term — [i]Tremble, Earthling, before the infinite might of Galaxor! But there it was, in a recent report on San Francisco's finances: Spending on the city's employee retirement system in the past decade had grown at an "infinite" rate.
Naturally, that's an exaggeration. If you do the math, the city's retirement costs for employees in the past 10 years actually grew only 66,733 percent.
.... they are spending more on pensions than the fire department.
Quote:
This year, the city is contributing $324 million from the general fund to its pension plan — more than it spends on the Recreation and Parks Department ($127 million) or the fire department ($289 million).
Breaking News California is dead broke. The libs spent like pill poppin' housewives, to well past the breaking point, and there is no more monies for funding.
But it beats me why no little rubber raft boat with a out board couldn't get there on a trailer if need be, and get the guy out of the soup. But then that would have been against the guys wishes evidently. I can't think of a harder way to do yourself in. Wading into water to drown yourself has to be very hard. Social workers don't fix that sort of thing and the Phyc Hospitals have all but been disbanded.
Perhaps if liberals didn't over spend..... but then they will never stop. Maybe that guy had been taxed right out of his house and job.
Or perhaps due to corporate greed supported by conservatives he had LOST his job (think outsourcing) and was homeless and despondent and felt he had no choice but to do himself in.
