Tim "The Liar" Leavitt doesn't seem to understand the Constitution either.

.
In the wake of City Councilor Jeannie Harris' high speed come-apart and the inaction of the testicular fortitude in handling the situation, matching that of his lack of testicular fortitude in handling the toll issue, our local daily swindle sheet tells us that the Council is now going to "discuss revamping guidelines about content and decorum in the way citizens address elected officials."

The stupidity in such a moronic plan is obvious. The troubling elements of this response from "The Lair" are at least these:

1. The problem at the meeting wasn't the public addressing elected officials. The problem, of course, was the elected official (In this case, Princess Jeannie) was addressing the public.

2. That the council and particularly it's mayor wants to shut up the opposition to their horrific plan is obvious. Leavitt, who's lies about opposing tolls, both detailed in this blog and well known by all political followers, wants everyone to stop talking about his campaign lies. He wants top stop hearing about it. He wants to stop being reminded about it. He wants it to go away.

3. The First Amendment can be an annoyance to those in power... particularly when, like Leavitt, they're lying scum that make me ashamed of the Taliban city council of Vancouver.

Part of the problem is this nonsense concerning "City Policy." City policy, of course, justifies absolutely nothing.

To the Germans during World War 2, everything they did was "legal" in the sense that their laws covered pretty much everything from slaughtering Jews to confiscating property to forced sterilization.

What's being "clarified" is a policy, a one-sided policy, of stifling opposition and dissent to the council's agenda.

What's being clarified here is a one-sided policy that particularly overlooks the fact that the issue of the horrific, nonsensical, unwanted and unneeded bridge replacement CONTINUES to be "city business" and, as a result, the scum claiming, as Leavitt claims,

"....that the council has already voted on a locally preferred alternative on the Columbia River Crossing that includes light rail in 2008, and that tolling is a State Legislature issue.

“When folks come in and testify on things that aren’t within our realm or control, I’ll be more verbal in my questioning of, ‘What do you want the city council to do about this matter?” Leavitt said. “We’ll still allow people their three minutes.”

The huge, gaping hole in that "reasoning" is that the city continues to be members of the C-Trans council. So, these issues, such as the lack of Leavitt's testicles when it comes to holding an advisory vote on this steaming crap pile, IS "city business."

So, the only "clarification" these clowns want is yet ANOTHER "regulation" or "policy" that will shut up the massive opposition to their efforts to screw us.

We had reason enough to be ashamed of the slimeball who is mayor of Vancouver, even before this nonsense happened. Now, he just plain makes me sick.

As for "decorum," the more you continue to ignore us, the less "decourus" the people are going to be. The French Revolution comes to mind. After you people educate yourselves on the Constitution, read about that and its causes.

Clearly, like Jeannie Harris admitted yesterday, he doesn't understand that the Constitution isn't a series of suggestions.

And, on a more personal note to The Liar, this issue is NEVER going away. And as long as you get up and roll over at C-Trans while you screw the people of Southwest Washington, we not only have the right, but the duty to tell you what a sniveling, lying little coward you are.

The Liar, wild about loot rail, ought to check out Sound Transit.

From the Washington Policy Blog:

Sound Transit officials missed their ridership target by almost 1000 percent!

During this one year anniversary of light rail, Sound Transit officials keep bragging about how they have carried six million riders since it opened. That is about 16,000 trips per day.

In 1996, Sound Transit officials promised voters the line would be complete by 2006 and carry about 107,000 trips per day. That means Sound Transit should be celebrating its four year anniversary, carrying over 100 million trips by today.

Sound Transit officials missed their ridership target by almost 1000 percent!

Like the massive waste of money The Liar had advocated for all along while lying during his campaign, BILLIONS of dollars have been and will be wasted for loot rail by Sound Transit.

The Liar, who has been and will continue to hose us all along, should get a clue and see what's happened in real life.

.

What do Jon "My wife's a physician" Russell and Tim "The Liar" Leavitt have in common?

.
They both want the bridge, neither care about tolls, and they want light rail.

The Liar made his position clear: No bridge tolls.

Except, of course, unless the bridge has to have tolls... then they're OK, because, as The Liar tells us, he's "not an obstructionist."

Of course, anyone paying attention knows that the bridge will not be built WITHOUT tolls... so what that means is that Leavitt wants the bridge, which won't be built without loot rail... and as a result, in reality, he wants tolls, since there ain't gonna be a bridge without them.

That brings us to Jon Russell, who has been known to pander on occasion.

Russell told the Columbian editorial board that he wants the bridge... but that he doesn't want tolls, either.

Were have we heard that before?

And, of course, Russell is not above pandering to the editorial board. After all, they support the massive waste of billions of dollars as much as he does; they don't care that the unnecessary replacement of the bridge will blow a $100,000,000 per year hole in our local economy by vacuuming out moneys that would otherwise be spent here; and they supported the massive tax increase of the Port Levy that Russell was paid thousands of dollars to try and ram down our throats.

Given his lies to date, there is no doubt he would say or do anything to abandon the voters of Washougal. But keeping this little secret under the table?

Well, that's why *I'M* here... isn't it?

So, 18th District there you have it. Jon Russell doesn't give a damn if you have to pay $1300 per year in addition to the horrific taxes you already pay just to go to work.

Remember that when you're filling out your ballot, won't you? I know *I* will.

Every day, the real Tim "The Liar" Leavitt comes out.

.
During our most recent election, I tried to tell the conservatives that Leavitt was hosing them.

I tried to tell them how much they were being manipulated and conned by this casket salesman who's campaign was being run by the most rabid of democrats and bridge/toll supporters in the area today...

...and they would not listen.

Well, we can add "anti-free speech" to the list of our esteemed mayor's many dishonest traits.

Lew Waters over at Clark County Conservative has the play-by-play.
.

The State of Oregon to Steve "Owned by Barnett" Stuart: "Drop Dead."

.
The idiocy of even asking if Oregon would cut the commuters a break on the bridge tolls was just that. Embarrassingly idiotic... almost the product of a delusional drug-like state.

Steve "Cold, Hard Cash" Stuart is a frightened man. He's terrified that someone will actually man up and take him on. So far, no one has the guts, which is quite amazing: Anyone running against Stuart could splatter him like a bug on the windshield of a car crossing that moronic, unneeded and unwanted waste of billions known as the I-5 Bridge/loot rail project.

If ANYONE ran against this clown, he could not survive his own demise, brought about by the hatred the people of this county have for the monstrosity he shills so much to build... all the while knowing HE won't have to pay for it.

Here was my take at the time:

4. The state of Oregon will NEVER cut the people of this region a break on taxes. Whether they should or not is besides the point. The point is that YOU and that moron Leavitt are largely responsible for popping the people who live here with an additional $1300 per year tax for the rest of our lives for a bridge that YOU won't have to pay for.

Even the local paper, which has lied and exaggerated for years over this issue, has noted the embarrassment of Stuart's nonsensical attempt to get a little political cover for selling us out.

That Oregon rejected Stuart's dismal effort relieves him of precisely zero responsibility for his efforts to screw the people of Clark County.

Over the first ten years of tolling, Stuart and the slime he's riding with will charge each commuter $13,000.

Each.

And there is no political cover for that.
.

The man with the political deathwish: Steve "Cold, hard cash, Mr. Barnett" Stuart and his moronic bridge.

.
Steve, look. The people of Clark County aren't nearly as stupid as you seem to think.

This isn't 2005 when you were able to get away with riding a wave of David Barnett's last minute laundered cash into a commissioner's seat.

So, here's your sign:

1. We do NOT need, want, can afford or remotely desire a replacement bridge with your idiotic loot rail.

2. It is not government's job to pay off your union buddies by wasting billions of OUR dollars to give THEM work. Government's function is to govern, not to pay off unions the way David Barnett paid off you.

3. When you said: "I can only support a toll if it is low enough for Clark County working families to afford and creates a benefit that's worth it," you lied. Like that clown Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, there is NO toll level you won't support, because, after all, the unions own you almost as much as Barnett.

So do us a favor and stop wasting our time. It doesn't matter how high the toll is, you would find some excuse to support that monstrosity.

4. The state of Oregon will NEVER cut the people of this region a break on taxes. Whether they should or not is besides the point. The point is that YOU and that moron Leavitt are largely responsible for popping the people who live here with an additional $1300 per year tax for the rest of our lives for a bridge that YOU won't have to pay for.

It is NOT important to "replace the existing bridge." It doesn't matter how many times you repeat that lie, it is not true. That you keep saying it doesn't make it true, since a completed bridge will do absolutely NOTHING to address congestion OR freight mobility.

You know that, of course, but how can you pay off your union buddies unless this steaming pile of crap is built?

I repeat: providing employment for the unions jerking your chains is not the job of government. I don't CARE about the "16,000" jobs that will put us into debt indefinitely. "Jobs" are NOT an argument for ANY of this... particularly since you lack the balls to ASK US FIRST.

To get that pig pile built and pay off your union lackey supporters, you are doing everything you can to sell out the 65,000 commuters perfectly happy with the paid for bridge we have now.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
.

Memo to Tim "The Liar" Leavitt: It was the bridge tolls, stupid.

.
As any follower of my blog knows, I dispise Tim "The Liar" Leavitt. Leavitt and his democrat brain trust, including Steve "Cash only, Mr. Barnett" Stuart, Dena Horton (Clark County democrat chair) Betty Sue Morris and other democrat luminaries who ran Leavitt's campaign found the issue that allowed Leavitt to scam an entire election.

And what was that one issue, the clincher... the lie that got Leavitt elected?

That he was opposed to tolls on the new bridge/loot rail scam he and his buddies are ramming down this community's throat.

That it IS a lie was made clear.... repeatedly... by The Liar's inability to oppose a tolled bridge because he lacked the testicles to oppose such a project, being that he's not an obstructionist and all.

As I indicated all along, that position was a lie, a crock, a manipulative scam to get the more politically ignorant to support him and oppose Royce Pollard.

I was never thrilled by Pollard but I make no bones about the fact that I supported his re-election.

Why?

Because unlike Leavitt, like him or hate him, Pollard at least told the truth.

Every fricking article mentioning The Liar during the campaign noted that Leavitt "opposed tolls," obstructionism notwithstanding.

The toll issue and the toll issue alone is what got this Obama-endorsing liar elected.

Well, guess what?

Leavitt NOW has claimed that the toll issue was a minor part of his campaign and had little or nothing to do with his election!

EEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!! Wrong answer!

You lived by the toll issue you lying little putz. Now, get ready to politically die from it.

The people are not going to allow you to engage in revisionist history.

When it suited your lying ass, you were all about this. As I repeatedly pointed out, there was NO WAY this bridge could get built WITHOUT tolls, your insanely moronic efforts to charge EVERYONE higher property taxes to pay for YOUR scam aside.

So now, to quote one of your hero's closest buds, the chickens are coming home to roost. And no amount of bluster or denial from you will change it... and their are many around like me who won't let you or the people forget it.
.

Congrats to the local paper for reporting what I blogged about several days ago.

.
In yet another typically gagging, cloying puff piece on the unneeded, unwanted and unnecessary multi-billion dollar waste known the I-5 Bridge replacement, the local rag finally gets it. As I blogged back in December, the cabal deciding what bridge/loot rail combination they plan on ramming down our collective throats agreed to a 6 lane bridge weeks ago (Not including loot rail lanes). Congrats to our local stain on our community for finally figuring it out.

So, when Tim "The Liar" Leavitt babbles that such an arrangement "...wouldn’t be acceptable to our community,” he's failing to acknowledge that there is NO bridge of ANY size that would be "acceptable to our community," and he KNOWS that.

But no matter what ultimately comes our of this steaming pile, ol' Tim will be on board. Because, as well know, the little slime ball "isn't an obstructionist."

Our local excuse for a paper continues to use lies such as this:

The request comes amid fraying support for the project.

In June and July of 2008, the 12-lane “locally preferred alternative” received the
conditional support of city councils, transit agencies and metropolitan planning organizations on both sides of the river.

Support began to wane last year.

The main problem with the lie about "fraying support" is that this community NEVER supported replacing the bridge or bringing loot rail here under ANY circumstances, least of all with $1300 per year (to begin with) tolls.

Now, The Liar KNOWS that this thing can't be built WITHOUT tolls, but that didn't stop him from REPEATEDLY lying that the mayor of Vancouver could STOP tolls, while telling us all along that even WITH tolls, HE would SUPPORT the new bridge.

And if this bridge comes out with the already-agreed-to 6 lane design, he'll agree to that as well, BECAUSE HE CAN'T STOP IT.

NO bridge design here EVER had more than 6 through lanes. To that end, a 6 lane bridge was going to be the outcome REGARDLESS; a colassal, multi-billion dollar pile of money dumped down a toilet; blowing a $100,000,000 per year hole in our local economy, cheerled by hypocrites who wouldn't ever have to pay the tolls... unlike those of us in the commuting public.

As for Steve "Unmarked Bills, Mr. Barnett" Stuart, here's a clue.

We want this shut down NOW. And we do not WANT a "re-start." WE WANT A THIRD AND FOURTH BRIDGE, WITH NO FRICKING LOOT RAIL.

You've already blown $100,000,000 tax payer dollars, thanks to Tweedle Dumb (Craig Pridemore) and Tweedle Dumber (Deb Wallace) and we have absolutely nothing to show for it... money that SHOULD have been spent on locating and designing a 3rd and 4th bridge that would both relieve pressure on the I-5 Bridge AND reduce congestion WHILE increasing freight mobility, something that a new bridge in the same place would absolutely NOT do.

Get used to dealing with your massive wastes of our money, Mr. Stuart... and start polishing your resume'.

Between the bridge and getting paid to be Barnett's butt boy, this November?

You are going DOWN.
.

So, it's been about a year. Had Obama remorse, yet?

.
I'm reminded yet again that the GOP lemmings who coallessed around Tim "The Liar" Leavitt were supporting a huge Obama cheerleader.

You know.... this guy?



Well, the two certainly have one thing in common: neither were ready to lead.
.

The local paper STILL doesn't get it. There is NO consensus on the multi-billion dollar waste of money, except in their delusional minds.

.
For whatever the reason, our local rag has been fixated on loot rail for long over a decade.

There has been no lie they wouldn't tell, no exaggeration they wouldn't use, no attack they wouldn't make, all to the point of the absurd idea that we, The People should waste billions of dollars on THE most expensive loot rail system in the history of this, or, I'm sure, any other planet.

The thread that binds it all together is this: our absurd stain on the "science" of journalism will not have to pay for it. So, what they advocate is that WE pay for it; that we willingly blow a $100,000,000 hole, each year into perpetuity, into our local economy so they can install an outmoded, obsolete, non-transferable system with ridership subsidized to an unbelievable level as part of their agenda.... costs be damned.

And because of that kind of perspective, they print utter garbage like this:

Tenuous consensus builds for new I-5 crossing

So, essentially,a few guys got together over massive amounts of alcohol and worked double over time to sell out SW Washington for their agenda.

And who were the four guys?

We could almost call 3 of them the "usual suspects."

Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, who's bogus position that he's "against tolls" was leveled when he finally fessed up and told the world that when tolls are inevitable, he won't stand in the way because principle means nothing to a lair and, well, he's not an "obstructionist;" Steve " Barnett had me at the number '$100,000'" Stuart, who stupidly is committing political suicide by demanding that we shoot ourselves in the foot economically by forcing us to divert $100,000,000 or more every year forever to build a replacement bridge that we do not need to bring in loot rail that we do not want; Sam "Sure I'm a liar" Adams, who felt no compunction in assassinating another man's character by denying his sexual activities with a kid.... and a fourth guy I've never heard of.

They decided to send a letter. And the only thing they agreed on is that they disagree.

They disagree with the plan.

As I pointed out, at some point, 3 of these people, the three I mentioned by name, will let others in on their next deal, the already agreed on "3 lanes each way with one lane each way for loot rail" system.

That's what we have to look forward to, because these people KNOW that this steaming pile would lose in an up or down vote and all of them want this thing built badly... tolls or no.... even Tim "The Liar" Leavitt.

Sigh.

So much for "will of the people."
.

Bridgers/Looters: here's our future on tolls. Increases every year.

.
As we all know, most of the Downtown Mafia is foaming at the mouth to waste $4 Billion or more to build a bridge with loot rail that the people of this area neither need.... or want.

We all also know that the scum pushing this bridge and loot rail do so knowing that THEY won't have to pay for it: we will.

So, here's a glimpse into our future... a future of ever-increasing tolls... and tolls where the money won't even be used to pay for the bridge.

What's that, you say? Why, that's not possible!

Really? Someone ought to tell that moron of a state treasurer, dutifully endorsed by the embarrassment of a paper in the last election (They only endorsed democrats in open seats, you see... hard left rags are like that.) because this is his plan: he thinks it would be just swell to jack up the tolls on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge... and do that to pay for OTHER transportation projects!

Yup, that's right. Former State Representative Jim McIntyre (Communist-Seattle) a rabid income tax proponent during the nightmare of his tenure in the House and completely unqualified, save for his party affiliation, to be elected to state treasurer, wants to nail the folks who use the Tacoma Narrows Bridge with ANOTHER in the series of MANY increases in the tolls they pay.

Which is, of course, PRECISELY what lowlifes like Steve "Cold Hard Cash" Stuart and Tim "The Liar" Leavitt want as well.

Here's the dish:

State Treasurer Suggests Higher Narrows Bridge Tolls — Just After Standing Pat Was Recommended

• By Ed Friedrich
• Posted December 26, 2009 at 7:38 p.m.

OLYMPIA —

The state needs bigger toll increases on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge if it wants to get the best bond rates for the new Highway 520 floating bridge and other megaprojects, according to state Treasurer Jim McIntire.

The bridge’s citizens advisory committee recently recommended to the state Transportation Commission that the electronic toll be kept at $2.75 and the manual rate raised from $4 to $5, beginning July 1. That would leave $4.7 million in reserves at the end of the fiscal year, or about a 9.3 percent more than expenses.

McIntire followed the recommendation with new principles his office is developing for toll projects.

“The Treasurer’s Office said if you take what we’re suggesting for 520 but looked at the Tacoma Narrows bridge instead, then our rates would be raised from $4 to $5 (for manual) and ETC (electronic) from $2.75 to $3.75,” said Alan Weaver, the citizens group chairman.

Weaver called it an “11th-hour” development because the citizens committee had already held three public meetings and made its recommendation to the Transportation Commission before hearing from McIntire. Dan O’Neal, a transportation commissioner from Belfair who sits with the citizens group, had warned them that the Treasurer’s Office was looking at a 10 percent requirement, however. That knowledge helped spur the committee to recommend the toll increase. Without one, there would still be $2.3 million in reserves, but it would only be 4.8 percent more than bridge costs.

State law doesn’t stipulate how much must be kept in reserve, only that it be “sufficient” to pay the bond debt and to operate and maintain the bridge. McIntire said the citizens group and Transportation Commission have struggled with what “sufficient” means, and his office was offering its interpretation.

The treasurer says when investors consider buying bonds for future toll projects, the first thing they’ll ask is how the Tacoma Narrows bridge was handled.

“If we can demonstrate that we understand “sufficient” coverage means having some coverage ratio greater than 1 — which wasn’t what we were seeing with the proposal coming from the citizens group — that helps us as we try to go to the bond market,” McIntire said.

Toll-project bonds around the country typically require 75 percent to 100 percent of annual costs be kept in reserve. Those are revenue bonds, however, and backed solely by tolls. The Tacoma Narrows bridge bonds are guaranteed by tolls, gas taxes and the state’s credit.

“So it’s not risky. There’s no reason to have a big reserve account,” said bridge watchdog Randy Boss.

“Sufficient,” Boss said, is “not more than, not less than, just enough to be able to cover costs.” Anything more would just be taking extra dollars out of the community.

“If they think they’re going to increase the rate of reserves on the Tacoma Narrows bridge over and above what the law requires, they’re inviting a lawsuit,” Boss said.

Several Transportation Commission members also believe that the citizens group’s recommendation is unfair, that the gap is too wide between the $2.75 for electronic tolls and the $5 for manual.

The commission must decide in January whether to accept or change the citizens committee’s recommendation. If it changes it, the citizens group can hold another public hearing, though it’s not required. Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, says he’s pushing for public meetings to explain the Treasury Office’s new guidelines.

This is the kind of thing the despicable scum behind this massive, multi-billion dollar scam of replacing a perfectly serviceable bridge so they can ram loot rail down our throats without asking us... while forcing us to pay for it... do NOT want you to know.

The trouble is that the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, while only being in operation a short time, has already undergone several toll increases in violation of the promises made to commuters stuck with getting hammered by fees that, you guessed it, none of the rabid bridge proponents will have to pay.

The New Tacoma Narrows Bridge span opened up in 2007, Since then the toll has gone up from $1.75 for electronic payment and $3.00 for cash/credit card to the current $2.75 and $4.00 tolls... only to be jacked up even higher if that communist treasurer gets his way... to $3.75 and $5.00.

Imagine. These poor people were lied to in order to get this bridge built... just like we're being lied to. Also, imagine that their future is precisely the same as ours.

Because it is.

I'm posting this because there's damned little chance our local waste of wood pulp ever would. After all, if they were telling the truth and giving us all the information, they'd be coming out completely opposed to it like most everyone with common sense.
.

So, if the Bridger/Looters get their way, what's the impact of sucking $100,000,000 per year out of the local economy?

.
That's one of the more interesting questions of the second biggest issue confronting us today, locally... what happens to business here in Clark County if those who demand this massive waste actually make it happen?

The commissioners who recently screwed us here in Clark County, by jacking up our taxes, mid-recession and mid 13% unemployment rate; have yet to weigh in on what happens when $100,000,000 a year vaporizes. Steve "Cash Only" Stuart has yet to address this massive, giant sucking sound that he and the downtown mafia thinks so highly of; secret meetings with Sam "Draft it if it's under 18" Adams and Tim "The Liar" Leavitt notwithstanding.

So... $100,000,000 or so a year, most of it in Clark County, disappears. One wonders. Does any of the $100,00,000 plus already wasted for studies with pre-ordained outcomes by Rep. Deb "No amount of your money I won't spend" Wallace, congressional wannabe, address any of that?

Are those so eager to pay off the unions that will get all the cheese for building this monstrosity unaware of the unending economic agony the tolls will cause? Have they given it any thought? What are the impacts on the 65,000 commuters?

Or is it that they're so in the pocket of the special interests that they just don't care?

How many jobs will the loss of this money cost us?

How many items typically bought with $100,000,000 in formally disposable income here locally will now sit and gather dust on local shelves? How deep and wide will all of the massive negative impacts be?

And out of all of those so eager to get this thing built, how many of them will feel ANY of these massive impacts?

None.

I would include our despicable rag of a paper, but they'll be out of business by the time this steaming pile is built.

What are the impacts? Do any of these great strategists give a damn... or are they only concerned about providing union jobs? How many services provided by the now non-existent revenue be cut or eliminated... because of the black hole of the bridge/loot rail?

I wanna know. Odd, isn't it, that none of the talking heads telling us all how great this crock of horse puckey is never seem to talk about that.

Don't they think it's about time?
.

Secret meetings... Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, Steve "Cash up front" Stuart, Sam "If you're under 18, you can have an" Adams... on the toll bridge

.

Look, I get that Tim "The Liar" Leavitt scammed everyone into actually believing that he opposes tolls (which he did doesn't) and that Steve "I was bought for 100G" Stuart is terrified that I'm gonna hammer him like a nail based on both his corruption (He's entirely owned by Barnett and the Cowlitz Mafia) and the fact that he's responsible for ramming a $1300 a year toll down the throats of 65,000 commuters who are going to vote his ass out... but recent secret meetings with Sam "I didn't have sex with that teenager" Adams? So you can the peoplem of Clark County out?

Clearly, transparency isn't only an issue with the empty suited liar running this country. The three have met and decided that THEIR plan is to reduce the bridge to 8 lanes with 2 of those lanes dedicated to loot rail.

Man... won't that be a HUGE improvement?
.

Steve, Steve, Steve, STEVE.

Do yourself a favor. Announce you won't be running for re-election now. Free up the seat for folks that won't be quite so eager to screw us.

That way you can spare yourself the horrific embarrassment of getting clobbered at the polls as your legacy of corruption and ignoring the people of this county who neither need or want a new bridge or loot rail send you that message the hard way... and end your political career the way it should have and would have been done back in 05 if Barnett hadn't laundered $100,000 through your favorite leftist front group, Progressive Majority.
.

Another example of where Tim "The Liar" Leavitt is like his hero, BHo.

.
For all the morons in our local GOP who worked for or supported The Liar's election effort... perhaps they didn't know that he was an early endorser and supporter of the worst President since Jimmy Carter, a mantle he is striving mightily to change to "The Worst President EVAH!" (Copyright 2009) or is it that they just didn't care?

Ahhhhh, no matter. In another in the series of the "Similarities between The Liar and the Empty Suit, I bring your attention to yet another fine article detailing where, like our own Tim "The Liar" Leavitt, that empty suited, Anti-American racist bigot lies through his teeth on almost any occasion concerning any policy.

His most recent fantasy babble being no exception.

MICHAEL GOODWIN: Obama's Whoppers

By Michael Goodwin

- FOXNews.com

The president's still whining about the problems he inherited when he took office and he's still blaming Republicans. And the American people are tuning him out at a stunning pace.

The other day, I wrote that President Obama has "run out of both charm and ideas." I was too kind.

To judge from the string of whoppers in his dreary jobs speech yesterday, he's also run out of facts. And he's still whining about the problems he inherited and blaming Republicans.

He might as well be barking at the moon. That's sort of what he is doing, because the American people are tuning him out at a stunning pace.

The latest Gallup Poll gives him a record low 47 percent approval. Only 26 percent in another poll say he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Naturally, his press secretary attacks the pollsters, likening them to children with crayons.

And Obama plunges on with his blame-game act. It's tired, unpresidential and ineffective, all the more so because he's banking on a bill of goods to prop himself up.

The most egregious example came when Obama said yesterday the $700 billion bank-bailout fund, or TARP, was "launched hastily under the last administration" and was "flawed."

Here are the facts. George Bush was in the White House, but Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. Obama himself, as a senator, voted for the bailout in October 2008.

No one claims the bill was perfect, but there is no record --zero -- of Obama trying to fix it. Remember, it was John McCain who rushed back to Washington after the first version failed and tried to get involved to reshape it.

McCain flubbed the effort, but Obama made none. He only reluctantly joined a White House conference with McCain and Bush on the bailout after urging Congress "to step up to the plate and get this done."

He went on the Senate floor and said there wasn't time to fiddle with the bill before leaving the details to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said at the time, "No one knows what to do."

Fortunately, there were people who knew what to do. Timothy Geithner, then chairman of the New York Federal Reserve and now Obama's treasury secretary, was deeply involved with Bush's treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, in shaping the legislation that helped to avert a financial crash.

That 2008 vote released half the TARP money, with a second vote coming in January 2009, a week before Obama was inaugurated. He wanted the second installment of $350 billion, and most Democrats, along with a handful of Republicans, voted to give it to him.

The record is clear: The $700 billion bailout was crafted on a bipartisan basis, with Obama's support and encouragement, and he has controlled most of the money. For him to now claim otherwise is disgraceful.

There is much more here, which is truly unfortunate.

It's unfortunate because this country SHOULD have, as its president (Like Vancouver SHOULD have as its mayor), a man (or woman) of honor and integrity; a man whose words do not requiring parsing; a man who's words are already fact checked before he utters them.

Instead, we have Obama. And here locally, we have Tim "The Liar" Leavitt... two cancers on our society cut from the same cloth. And neither are any of those things.

And we will suffer for it.

When this kitten heard The Liar won the mayor's election, here's his reaction:

.

.

So, do you Vancouver GOP'ers get it, yet? Leavitt IS a liar.

.
I have placed post after post on this blog pointing out where Tim "The Liar" Leavitt is doing his best to live up to the sobriquet I applied to him.

I pointed out that the ONLY reason this clown hitched his wagon to the toll issue was because he needed something.... ANYTHING... to separate himself from Pollard, since they were, essentially, attached at the hip.

To The Lair's credit, and that of his entirely democrat campaign staff which included Steve "I can be bought" Stuart, he pulled it off. His web of lies and deceit counted on the fact that the right wing in Vancouver is essentially made up of delusional types who see things the way they want them... and not the way they are.

As I have stated throughout the entirety of that scumbag's campaign: Tim "The Liar" Leavitt WAS ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF TOLLS, just like the fact that he was ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF THIS BRIDGE AND ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF LOOT RAIL.

Now.... tell me how that's different from Pollard?

I cannot even begin to fathom how so many on the right were taken in by this leftist scum bag. *I* tried to tell you. *I* tried to tell EVERYONE... but you people refused to listen.

And yet, as I read the comments on the article in question, it becomes clear that even though you idiots were taken in by this casket salesman, you STILL support him!

Clearly, the one thing politicians can count on is the stupidity of the voter.

Just ask that empty-suited, Anti-American racist bigot in the White House.

People, you got hosed. The problem is that YOUR stupidity is going to cost us all.
.

The delusion of Tim "The Liar" Leavitt continues: exempt locals from paying for the bridge.

.
Every time this liar opens his mouth, it reinforces what a colossal mistake the people of Vancouver made in choosing him.

"Stupidity" doesn't begin to cover it. With a campaign built on a lie (That Leavitt opposes tolls) he now segues into sheer idiocy as he positions himself to avoid confronting the 65,000 people in Clark County that HIS efforts, along with those of fellow traveler Steve "Cold Hard Cash" Stuart (Who helped run Leavitt's campaign and who also has been a rabid bridge/loot rail supporter, even though he's screwing 65,000 people in this county with his tolls) will cause to pay $1300 per year to BEGIN with in extra tolls in addition to the Oregon income tax they ALREADY have to pay.

Apparently, this idiot didn't get the memo: YOU HAVE NO SAY. The City of Vancouver HAS NO SAY. This, in fact, is as moronic as that asinine, last minute idiocy of jacking up everyone's property taxes over a three county area to pay for this monstrosity.

The now-confirmed ignorance of the local GOP, who carried this guy's water like Gunga Din, EVEN THOUGH DEMOCRATS UP TO THE CLARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT CHAIR RAN HIS CAMPAIGN, just serves to reinforce my decision to leave their ranks long ago.

Leavitt's sad lack of testicular fortitude, wherein he' lacks the guts to oppose this thing WHEN tolls are REQUIRED and WHEN WE ALL HAVE TO PAY THEM (except, of course, for this massive waste of money's biggest cheerleaders... who, oddly, won't be commuting to Portland and PAYING the toll every day) refuses to oppose this unbelievably criminal waste of money under any circumstances.

This blithering idiot doesn't get it. He doesn't understand that first, HE HAS NO SAY, and the ONLY issue is this: does he SUPPORT this criminal waste of money? OR does he have the balls to oppose it?

He doesn't understand that THERE IS NO MONEY AT THE FED TO PAY FOR THIS. He doesn't understand that WE DON'T WANT THIS GARBAGE HEAP. THAT BUILDING THIS CRAP PILE WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DECREASE CONGESTION OR INCREASE FREIGHT MOBILITY, AND THAT THE ENTIRE REASON FOR THE STEAMING PILE IS TO GET LOOT RAIL INTO CLARK COUNTY.

Good God. How the people of Vancouver generally and the right wing particularly could support such a moron is simply beyond my comprehension.

Even the idiots that supported this lying scumbag who now know they were hosed STILL support him... just like he was counting on. Why SHOULD he tell the truth, when he knows the group of cretins supporting him will continue to do so, even AFTER they figure out what a lying little worm he is.

Next, this scumbag will be demanding a set of teleprompters, just like his hero Obama. Won't THAT waste of money look good?
.

So, Washougal... how does it feel to be tools for Russell?

.
As I pointed out here, Jon Russell is using his position illegally, or at least unethically, as a prop to run for Congress.

For those wondering what I'm talking about, take a look at this garbage, but have a bucket near by. You're gonna need it.

Baird challenger flaunts record on tax cuts

Washougal Councilor Jon Russell led effort to reduce 1010 levy

Jon Russell, Washoual city councilor

Washougal City Councilman Jon Russell says his successful push for a 1 percent reduction in the city’s property tax levy, approved by the council this week, shows he has the mettle to tackle the yawning federal budget deficit.

That deficit hit a record $1.4 trillion in the budget year that ended Sept. 30. It’s now equal to 9.9 percent of gross domestic product — more than triple the 2008 level and the highest level since the end of World War II.

Russell, who owns a community clinic, is running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Brian Baird. He successfully lobbied fellow council members to cut the levy by $40,000 when the council met in a special session Monday to set its 2010 levy.

He says he wanted to give Washougal taxpayers a break because they face state-mandated improvements in the city’s water and sewer systems that will force a 14 percent rate hike.

"We are looking at: Do we do a double-digit increase all at once, or is there a way to offset that increase in the budget?" he said.

Russell said he didn’t have to do much arm-twisting. "The majority (of the council) were already thinking about what can we do to help ease the burden on the taxpayer."

Just as important as the modest tax cut is the message the tax cut sends to taxpayers, he said.

More:

Well, I agree with him about one thing: this IS "about the message it sends."

But in this case,the message it's sending is that he's a slimy scumbag that shouldn't be voted in as a dog catcher.

Just because slimeball Tim "The Liar" Leavitt scammed the more ignorant Republicans into supporting his low life leftist ass, that doesn't mean that everyone is asleep at the switch.

THIS scumbag RAN (No matter how badly) the campaign to ram THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN OUR LOCAL HISTORY DOWN OUR THROATS.

And oddly enough, this article... and no other article he's ever done, seems to mention that. One has to wonder...

.... "Why?"

And now, people of Washougal, if you didn't already know it, you know it now: This clown just sees you as a notch on his gunbelt as he stupidly climbs on your bodies to a Congressional run.

Good luck with that.

The Political Lie and how to curtail them.

.
The political question is when is a lie a lie?

Those having read my modest effort here already know I have little patience for that sort of thing. Unfortunately, here in Washington State, political lies are perfectly legal.

That's why we receive so many of them.

Lies at the national level are well known.... well known, yet we continue to tolerate them.

Is it any wonder that the so-called "birther" movement exists? How can they believe their government?

Here locally, the more ignorant GOP'ers banded together to elect a lying scumbag as mayor of Vancouver... a lying jerk (Tim "The Liar" Leavitt) who manipulated people into actually believing he opposes tolls... which, of course, he does not do... not unlike the scumbag mayor of Portland who lied over and over again about having sex with a teenager. He lied, and attacked his accusers when he KNEW they were telling the truth.

And he still remains mayor of the zoo known as Portland.

And when that awful truth about the tolls becomes known, what happens then?

Absolutely nothing.

And because nothing will happen, what kind of message does that send to current and future politicos?

Why NOT lie? It doesn't cost me anything, and hell, if I lie well enough, I just might get elected!

So...when do we believe? When are we supposed to believe the words spewing from the mouths of the vipers that lead us in government?

We've spent billions and billions on an increasingly more apparent scam known as "global warming," in everything from getting rid of freon (R-12) (that requirement alone enriched corporations like GE to the tune of tens of billions as people swapped their refrigerators, cooling systems and air conditioners in everything from houses to cars) to nonsensical measures here locally such as requiring certain utilities to produce percentages of power only from so-called "green sources."

Does that mean that I believe no steps should be, or should have been taken to reduce pollution? Of course not.

But we as a nation are poised on a precipice to act in the best interests of the liars and swindlers who control the White House and almost every level of government down to cemetery districts.

My question: Where's the outrage?

We have been abused in every imaginable way... tens of billions of dollars added to the costs of almost everything... cars, power, housing, an almost unimaginable list including crap like forcing even bakeries that make our bread to filter and recycle their air... so we no longer smell the wonderful smells of bread baking as we drive by those companies... because that smell was "pollution."

Where's the anger?

Our government, who must have had people within who knew the truth of it as far back as Eisenhower, people that remained silent... lied to us. Over and over and over again, while they forced us to pay and pay and pay.

And it seems like few of us give a damn.

Well, I have a plan to help end this abuse of the taxpayer, of the people.

It's a simple plan, really. And it goes like this:

If, as a part of your campaign, or as a part of your job while in office, you lie to us... then you lose your job and you can be held personally, financially and criminally liable for your lies.

There is no "first, second or third" offense. If you lie ONCE, you're gone. And you lose your cloak of immunity.

Imagine, how much cleaner campaigns would be.

Imagine how much smaller our debt would be if, for example, the empty suited moron running the country had been held instantly accountable for lying about how high unemployment would rise when the porkulus scam was implemented. Do you think for one second the lying scum running this country would have come out and claimed that passage of this scam would result in an 8% unemployment ceiling if they knew they would be held accountable for their claims?

How do we do it? Well, I'm working on that. We could force each elected official to sign an undated resignation as part of their oath of office.

Who would apply the standard? I haven't figured it out, yet. But this is a discussion that we must have or else we will continue to be buried in lies and debt and erosion of our rights... and the blood of our men and women as a result of the clueless idiot running the show.

But this bizarre idea promulgated by leftist whack jobs that we do have recourse at the ballot box, as if that plan would undo the damage the corrupt liars are doing to us every day, is simply not enough. We must put our leaders on notice. And we must do it now.
.

Comparisons between Tim "The Liar" Leavitt and Barack "The Empty Suit" Obama. Could a teleprompter be next?

.
The first one is obvious. They agree on everything, which is why the The Liar was an early endorser of The Empty Suit. I'm sure the fringe-right whack jobs with their situational ethics who signed on to a campaign run by local democrats (including the county democrat chair) are thrilled!

And how well THAT vision has worked! What a spectacular failure The Empty Suit has been, out-Cartering even the most hopeless moron to ever sit in the White House!

The second one is equally obvious. Both The Liar and The Empty Suit are consummate liars.

The list of Obama's outright lies dwarfs even his massive and false exaggerations.

With The Liar, the moment he started lying about his support of tolling the bridges (and he does support tolling BOTH of the bridges) as a way to replace (no matter how unnecessarily) the I-5 Bridge so he and his fellow henchmen can bring loot rail into the first few feet of Vancouver; he totally became Obama's shadow.

And his last second, late surprise package of trying to force everyone alive in a 3 county area to pay for a bridge and light rail we don't need by raising ALL of our property taxes.... why, that was the master stroke! It's the same thing as the moron in the White House scamming us all in health care!

The only thing missing from the package, besides a Klingon princess wife, is a teleprompter or two.

But The Liar couldn't be THAT stupid, could he? I mean, then I'd change his dwarfish little name to TelePrompter Timmy... and wouldn't THAT be rich?
