Aguirre Leaves Memorial Day Event at 7 Minutes

Here are photos of Mike Aguirre leaving the Mt. Soledad Memorial Day service. An observer said it was approximately seven minutes from the start during a prayer, with Mike literally walking the long way around to the unseen back of the cross and down the opposite side of the crowd. He met a man there and gave him a lawn sign, then drove off with a bunch of 4x8s and smaller in a pickup truck. When the truck is backing up, you can see the crowd still seated at the memorial service (click the photos for a larger version). Did he think it was more important to campaign than to honor our dead in this pious ceremony?

I never pictured Aguirre as one who would drive an old Chevy pickup truck...BMW 5-series? Yes. Mercedes Benz? Absolutely. Lexus? Probably. Beat up truck? Nope. I'm guessing this is a work truck of some sorts which someone would need if they were campaigning & putting up yard signs when they're supposed to be celebrating the life and remembering the sacrifice of those who died in battle.
Aguirre used to drive a Porsche; where is it now? Is he trying to fool the voters into thinking he is a plain wrapper kinda guy who hasn't much money? Assistant City Attorney Mc Grath says Aguirre doesn't even own a car. In his last campaign, he spent untolled hours driving around in a little Toyota-type truck with his famous BIG signs and it looks like he is at it again. Everyone should warn their friends to vote for Scott Peters while they have a chance.
So JJ doesn't like Aguirre because he's trying to fool "voters into thinking he is a plain wrapper kinda guy who hasn't much money?"
And the answer is to vote for Scott Peters?
Are you referring to the same hypocritical, phony environmentalist, largest residential water-user in the city, ridiculously rich-through-marriage, illegal pension supporting, 24% pay raise for incompetent city council supporting, union ass-kissing, "if he's so smart why is he at the center of every illegal-unethical-stupid action in the city of San Diego over the last 8 years," loathed by his city council constituents Scott Peters? That guy?
Oh yeah, Scott's a man of the people. Provided you have a $1 million+ DROP pension in your future.
