Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar became the second North County mayor to announce an election challenge to San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts.There's still a scenario where she remains mayor: she comes in third in the June primary behind Abed and Roberts or whomever the Democrats put up to replace Roberts, then files for re-election as mayor. But she's probably got the party establishment behind her, or she wouldn't make this move.
Gaspar, the chief financial officer of a physical therapy firm that she runs with her husband, is the second candidate — after Escondido Mayor Sam Abed — to come forward to challenge the freshman supervisor.

That is hilarious-
ReplyDeleteGaspar claims she knows how important funding roads is.
Encinitas is $46 million behind in road repairs. in 2011 Gaspar voted to bury the Nichols road report from the public because she believes in secrecy. Residents had to sue Gaspar and the council to learn the truth.
She bows out at every turn whenever she can wiggle out of participating in a vote. A pleasant face with zero substance, exactly what we need as Supervisor!
ReplyDeleteI take Roberts over Gaspar even if he was currently serving a jail term. She's just that worthless...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Even when he is porking his chauffeur!
DeleteIs that like Gaspar porking her boss?
DeleteShe's got a ring.
DeleteGot the ring after porking her boss. Such a classy technique.
DeleteCFO? Haha!!!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I've learned from watching her on Council and as Mayor is that she knows very little about politics. She let's everyone else talk first, then jumps in and polly parrots what the others have already said, only in a slightly GASpar version.
ReplyDeleteThey will eat her alive at the county. But, I hear she can wrestle anyone with one arm tied behind her back, and score higher on an SAT test. Wow...how juvenile. Must be her sugar daddy defending her.
By the way, sugar daddy, we don't want you on council or as mayor.
CFO my backend is right. What a joke!
"Wow...how juvenile" That was exactly my sentiment when I read your post and some of the others here. We can always count on an erudite discussion.
Delete3:13 Sounds like you need to get laid.
Delete4:12 PM
DeleteHey an old favorite. It doesn't make any sense but you sound witty. At least back in the 70's. I hope you didn't hurt your brain coming up with that one.
I think it's great. She gets off our City Council and can mess with the unicorporated folks. She will probably also bring money our way, as she lives here. It's a win-win. Since Dave Roberts has not stepped up to the plate to defend the allegations, in any meaningful way, it starting to seem as if he won't run again. Even Slater-Price won't endorse him, and he was her heir apparent. Politics, oh politics, how quickly you can change. All is not lost here. In fact I see it as a gain for our City. Of course that means 4 people are going to have to step up to the plate. Who shall we call upon that will run?
ReplyDeleteGaspar may as well run for president. Incompetence is apparently an asset in politics anymore.
ReplyDeleteHer hair is too good to run for president.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's plastered with hair gel.
ReplyDeleteShe has won convincingly in the two elections she has run. Don't underestimate her chances to win, even if the stage is a little bigger.
ReplyDeleteGlossly mailers and the generic promises - works on the 30% that vote. With that, you could elect a mannequin (which is her qualification).
DeleteRoberts is running. He's even more a media whore than Barbie, trust me, but he has a brain..
Deletehttp://daverobertsforsupervisor.com/temp.html
She still has won twice with convincing victories, no matter the method or the electorate's approach to cast its votes.
ReplyDeleteGaspar will be a rubber stamp for every union and idiotic county staff proposal to increase salaries and benefits. It's politicos like her that are making me leave California and Encinitas. No backbone, no will for confrontation regarding the outrageous salaries and pensions that are breaking the back of the greatest state in this USof A.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for her to campaign as wonder woman in the slums of Escondido and Vista....
She can see Chula Vista from her backyard!
DeleteSo let's see if I understand this......"we" can't stand Gaspar as "our" mayor because she's nothing more than an unqualified, glorified, incompetent [fill in the blank].......but "we" are really, really super incensed that she is actually thinking of leaving Encinitas to run for higher office because she's nothing more than an unqualified, glorified, incompetent [fill in the blank].....
ReplyDeleteOh, and as long as you have a glossy mailer, you'll win the election (the Calvin & Hobbes approach).....
So.....who's stepping up? I'll contribute towards a glossy mailer......

She will do damage wherever she goes, which is why folks don't want her here or there. Is that so hard to understand?
DeleteShe thinks mighty highly of herself. Her mommy, sugar daddy, and whatever other numb nut has told her she has what it takes to be a politician.
DeleteThey are only seeing what they want to see and apparently the "Queen" needs supporters because of her incompetence.
Let her go to the county and find out how the real world works. She will come across some really nasty people. But, she's tough (so mommy says).
NO, as supervisor. She is an idiot.
What is so ironic is that the people in Encinitas have been requesting council to get our roads fixed for years. The process is not one of their top priorities. Now, the crown princess says she wants to be a supervisor and one of her main goals is to get the roads fixed. What a joke.
DeleteWho would buy your crap GASpar? You have done nothing to help with our roads. Now, all of a sudden if elected to the B of S you will wave your magic wand?
Not fun being a mayor for 9 months before you made your decision for higher ground, was it? All you wanted was the title "the FIRST elected mayor". You have shown that you care only for yourself.
It will be most interesting to see how really tough you are.
Sculpin- You have hit the nail on the head. First, most on this blog say they don't want Gaspar on the Council. Now we have a chance to say good-bye to her, and now people are complaining? Go figure. Adding to that, I'll be not one of the so called progressives on this blog, or anywhere else in the City will step up and run either. So, we will probably have Lerch back, Kranz staying, and perhaps even Shaffer staying as well. There is a person I can think of who might step up, and could win, but this blog has trashed this person so much I won't mention any name. And, not it is not Jerome.
ReplyDeleteoh please 11:04- as you lack either the courage or conviction to mention a name are you alluding to Teresa Barth? The Stack and Pack queen of North County? The secrecy princesses who hides behind closed meetings? The reckless free spending Barth who overpaid for Pacific View- and who left the door open that her developer friends can build stack and pack housing at pacific view after 10 years?
DeleteThere is a reason Ms. Barth left politics, she had no chance of winning. That is the the thing about records- be them Jerome Stocks or Teresa Barth- they are what they are, and they can't be undone.
Heck- apparently even professionally wiped servers can be recovered!
I know what you're saying, she probably would do less harm as a Supe, but I really would like to not go that way. Like Jerome, I'd like her to not be on council or the Board of Supes.
DeleteBelieve me, the wheels are already in motion and feelers are going out to find folks to run. I've already heard rumblings, but I'm not telling. And let's leave Sheila, Dr. Laurie, Lynn etc etc. out of it, I don't think they're running...
-MGJ
11:04 here-Nope not Teresa.
ReplyDeleteSounds like we have a trump-like prognosticator in our midst. I have the solution, but I am not going to tell anyone about it. Oh, what a tease from our very own bottom feeder. Somehow he has not been been missed a bit. Thanks for the break while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteIf the princess can be encouraged to leave us, we are better off without her. That the county repugnicans would buy into this says much to their desperation for finding a viable candidate. I hope Dave stays and kicks them back to where they belong if such a location even exists.
Sam Abed was one of those protesters who chose to block the poor central american refugee moms and kids being bussed in from Texas all the while claiming they had a choice whether to come here or not. Stay and endanger the lives of your kids or try to make a new life here. The lack of compassion exhibited by the protesters in Escondido was disgraceful and as unamerican as anything I could imagine. When I saw them flying the american flag and engaging in unamerican behavior toward the most helpless moms and young kids, it shamed the very flag they claimed to be representing.
How many illegals have you taken into your home??

DeleteIllegal Immigration = Illegal Immigration
DeleteForced immigration is the tool of the enemies of the USA to eradicate American History and Culture. The racist hate group LA RAZA (The race) has as its stated goal using forced immigration to invade and destory the Western USA. They are on their way to winning.
Forced Immgiration to eradicate the USA culture and history is followed by Forced Integration. The enemies of the USA within and outside the borders use Forced Integration to eradicate and forever change USA Culture and history. Natural integration is each person living where they choose. Forced integration is a few powerful people forcing others to live as they decide, not as the individual. The forced cultural cahnge upon communities becomes the new culture- rendering the former culture obsolete.
Supporters of forced immigration and enemies of American history and culture hope to scare and bully those speaking up for the rule of law to be applied equally to all.
News reports shows that Illegal Immigrants are raping, murdering and violenty abusing legal citizens on a weekly basis.
fiscsal reporting shows Illegal Immigrants have stolen taxpayer resources for free food, housing, healthcare and education while legal american citizens no longer receive the services they pay for.
The enemies of america would prefer legal citizens not know the truth, or discuss the facts. Seeking the rule of law applied equally to all the enemies label these citizens as lacking compassion.
History shows American taxpayers pay hundreds of millions each year to improve the lives of non-american citizens around the globae. No other country, no other people, no other taxpayers give more to solve poverty and improve the lives of non-citizens then the American Taxpayer.
Enemies of the american citizen do not want the rule of law applied equally to all, they want the rule of law applied based on skin color. Legal immigration means rules apply to all- the paperwork is filed, visa's are given, and all are welcome. Forced immigration means enemies of america aid in forcing illegal immigration on the USA to end the country's history and culture.
If diversity is what the government truly wants- why is it there are no forced plans to diversify Logan Barrio, or no forced plans to diversify Watts?
These same people have ISIS in mind as their next opportunity target.

DeleteI think we're watching a wee bit too much Fox News.
Replace immigrants with communists and hey presto: xenophobic right-wing paranoia from 1955.
DeleteJews: 1920.
Irish: 1850.
Someone should create an automated online rant gen bot to save future generations of wing nuts some time. Just plug in the scapegoat group du jour, and press the shiny button.
If she wins, I say good riddance. Maybe she can hire $tock$ and Muir as her ASSistants.
ReplyDeleteDriving Ms. Daisy....
Delete9:07 AM has some valid points. The Mexican border need to be controlled, as illegal immigration has never been an asset in economically troubled times. Drugs flow freely across the border, creating an epidemic with methamphetamine and heroin. Cartel gang members freely infiltrate and start the turf wars in American cities. Meanwhile, the rich pursue their corporate resource grabs in the Mideast, professing that it is a war on terrorism. American foreign policy has helped create this ISIS monster and now it rages out of control. America is having a crisis of leadership and it appears only to be getting worse.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is Rome all over again. Or the 4th Reich.
Delete9:07- Then the enemies of Murca are the corporate masters that pay off congress to not enforce immigration laws for their own benefit. This problem can be mostly fixed by arresting employers of illegals. Other than that you are a very paranoid nativist freak. American culture has evolved into nothing but greed,envy, and consumerism.
ReplyDelete10:28 AM Do you go in drag as the Statue of Liberty? Sounds like you are firmly entrenched in the culture you describe.
DeleteWho or what is Murca?
Delete10:28 AM And you are an ignorant, self-assuming myopic jerk.
ReplyDeleteJane, you ignorant slut.
ReplyDeleteCompliments SNL.
