Strike RINO Marco off the list.
The GOP has many problems these days, and not the least of which are the high profile sell outs who view principle as a speed bump on the way to power. They see out-democrating the democrats as their path to power. Well, how'd that work for RINO Rob?
The RINO's like Marc Rubio are only concerned about their abortive efforts to get power. This crap of giving illegal aliens amnesty and dumping another 20 to 30 million people on us (The illegals here AND their families) isn't about what's best for the county; it's not about what's best for the GOP; it's what's about best for Marco Rubio.
This entire concept of rewarding those who break our laws while doing nothing for those who follow those laws is disgusting. And I will never vote for anyone who approves this for anything.
Expect Herrera to go along with this program.

Memo to the State GOP and the Roanoke Conference: out democrating the democrats is never going to work.
As someone who worked as the Executive Director for the State GOP, I've seen the view from many sides.
We are, essentially, a two-party system. One party typically represents the left (Democrats) and one, generally, the right (Republican)
The GOP lost in the last election. The democrats were hammered in 94 and 96, although they still kept the Governor's Mansion with Yassir Arafat, (I mean, Mike Lowry) and the GOP took control, by larger margins, in both the House and the Senate here in Washington State.
The question is this: what major changes did the democrats make in their philosophy as a result of their political massacre?
Did they look around and conclude that they, somehow, had to become much more conservative?
Did they abandon their principles of huge government, abortion up until 10 seconds before birth, massive increases in taxation and spending, union hackery and an education system that is an abysmal failure?
Of course not.
So why is it that the geniuses running the GOP (particularly the Bellevue Mafia) believe that suddenly, magically, the way to defeat the democrats is to become the democrats?
RINO Rob McKenna tried that: what did it get him?
A bunch of leftists are lying their collective asses off and announcing they opposed McKenna for his opposition to the obviously unconstitutional mandates of Obama care.
There's a better then even chance those slimeballs had never voted GOP.... and never would.
Because the other state wide candidates who got clobbered didn't do a thing concerning Obama care, one (Dunn) even underwent an election year pandering epiphany: he came out in support of gay marriage. (Finkbeiner already had)
And what did that get them?
Those with their own agendas advocate that the GOP should simply abandon principle. We should either out-democrat the democrats, or become democrat-lite, as if people will vote for the fake democrats when the real thing is available.
We should turn a blind eye to illegal aliens. We should just love the idea of gay marriage. We should completely support legalizing all drugs. We should work harder to get the endorsements of democrat front groups like the Sierra Club.
In short, WE MUST LURCH HARD LEFT!!!! AND DO IT NOW!!!!
Hardly.
McKenna and the rest lost because they had no clue. They lacked technical and strategic expertise, their pandering to the left lost them their base, and now they're wandering around in a fog, without one wit of introspection.
We should no more become democrats than they became Republicans in 94 and 96.
THEY never abandoned their principles (such as they are) and look at them now.
For whatever the reason, we're overlooking the obvious in favor of the politically expedient.
It's far simpler to simply change positions, no matter how moronic such a change is to abandon principle than it is to do what has to be done:
Fix our campaigning.
Starting with the State GOP:
There's likely more.... much more that needs to be done. These ideas are just a start of the discussion. But it's a discussion... and an implementation... that should take place long before the GOP abandon the principles we know so well and hold so dear; taking the now thoroughly discredited McKenna approach to politics will avail us absolutely nothing.
The politics of expediency is why, in part, we are 16 trillion in debt. Why our economy is in a generational shambles. Why the GOP are so cowardly.
The question isn't philosophy. The question is competence.
If the GOP ever becomes competent in the nuts and bolts of elections... and they STILL lose?
Then, perhaps, it's time to re-evaluate. But until then... the infrastructure needs to be fixed. Because merely slapping a different coat of paint on a rotten structure isn't going to win the GOP any elections, either.

Fix our campaigning.
Starting with the State GOP:
1. Fund and hire a full time minority outreach shop.This isn't all that hard. And if it's started now, it can impact in '14.
We have to admit that the white majority will soon become the white numerical minority. This is obvious. Yet, what does the GOP do to court the minority vote?
Nothing.
If the GOP is going to convince the minorities, even those with a natural affinities such as the hispanic voter. And given the large numbers of illegals voting in this state, at least some full time effort should be, for example, aimed in that direction.
2. Identify candidates around the state for grooming as a wide bench.
It's unfortunate that we could only put forward a weak candidate like RINO Rob. How he ever won, given his utterly abysmal campaign this time around, is the political mystery of the decade.
For the mainstreamers, unfortunately, there wasn't anyone else. And how'd that work out for us?
We need to be looking at evaluating candidates at the city council/School board level. The GOP needs to provide guidance to help them grow in a real world political environment so we don't find ourselves filing candidates as nothing more than road bumps.
3. Understand and use social media/internet research.
Come on, guys. I shouldn't even have to talk about this.
The GOP should be building a live, on line database of every democrat screw up so it's right there. This would be an invaluable tool for legislative and statewide races. Traffic could be driven there with every announcement.... every press release. The technology is there: all it takes is the money and the bodies to make it happen.
Every democrat candidate should undergo a deep background investigation. If you know your enemy, then you'll know his/her weaknesses.
Every district's tendencies should be identified and all messages tailored to impact.
This isn't brain surgery.
There's likely more.... much more that needs to be done. These ideas are just a start of the discussion. But it's a discussion... and an implementation... that should take place long before the GOP abandon the principles we know so well and hold so dear; taking the now thoroughly discredited McKenna approach to politics will avail us absolutely nothing.

The Oregonian Lie Factory: Rip-off Agenda 2013.
Clearly, the clowns who wrote this tripe either don't know, or don't care, that the ENTIRE basis for this project is precisely what Clark County Commissioner David Madore said it was: a scam to get light rail into Clark County, period.
These scum need to realize: Except for tyhe slime in the downtown mafia, the PEOPLE of Clark County simply don't give a rat's ass WHAT they think, PARTICULARLY when what they "think" (using the term loosely) is based on lies, exaggerations, self-delusion and utter false-hood.
What matter is that their own state's supreme court told us the undeniable truth that these scum attempt to deny:
So, here's a clue:
What we do here; who we elect here.... what THEY do here... is no one in Oregon's business.
We don't want your scam. We don't need your scam. And the childish bullshit of an editorial shows that same kind of blind faith and allegience to government that got us into this position in the first place.
Commissioner Madore is to be congratulated for the stances he takes: they reflect the views of the majority who elected him, and that is all that matters.... unlike this steaming pile of crap from the lazy O... who, as most fringe left nutters, believe their judgment superior to the majority of US, who have to PAY for this sewage... and who show the arrogance of the downtown mafia in spades.
"Slow the" non-existent "momentum of the CRC?"
Madore ought to blow so many fricking holes in this crap that it won't hold any air.
He ran on a platform of destroying this idiocy, and unlike SOME scum (Tim "The Liar" Leave-it comes to mind) he is doing precisely and exactly what he promised to do.
That pro-CRC scum like this rag don't like it means that he's on target. And whoever wrote this tripe for this newspaper is so full of it, it's coming out their ears.
The entire project is a lie; a crime against the people of this county. And if that despicable rag of used toilet paper doesn't like it, that's just too damned bad...
In short, if we want the Oregonian's advice, or anyone else's advice on how we are going to live over here, we'll ask for it.
Mean while, F@#k off.

What matter is that their own state's supreme court told us the undeniable truth that these scum attempt to deny:
The answer, according to the court: The massive Interstate 5 bridge and freeway project is a “political necessity” to persuade Clark County residents to accept something they previously didn’t want—a MAX light-rail line from Portland to Vancouver. (To read the Feb. 16, 2012 Oregon Supreme Court decision regarding the Columbia River Crossing Project, click here (PDF, 18 pages))Once this truth is established.... everything else... including this pap from this horrific rasg of a newspaper.... falls apart.

Hearing from several sources: Steve Stuart is gone. Now what?
I've been hearing it from a variety of sources for the past few weeks:
expect the announcement any minute; Steve Stuart is either going to take
the number one or two position in the Department of Ecology.
Back during the recount, Steve Stuart (Who was a member of the Canvassing Board) told me that he'd been appointed to Inslee's "transition team."
I immediately told him that he was obviously under consideration for an appointment.
He denied it, and said he wasn't going anywhere. But that made no sense for a variety of reasons.
It was inevitable. It's likely that any Republican who makes it to the general election either this year (as a result of Stuart's impending departure, a caretaker will be chosen... has to be a democrat, but we all know the only democrat who'd be in the top three would be a CRC/downtown mafia lackey who wouldn't survive the next general election) or next year as Stuart is up would win. Stuart knows that, because anyone who runs opposed to the crap pile known as the CRC will pound him.
Further, he's looking at a minimum of being on the wrong end of every vote... just like he made Mielke the wrong end of every vote. he can stand in the back and throw grenades for a couple of years.... and then what?
Democrats can't win in Congress here: even against a complete idiot like Herrera, this is GOP country. So.... were would a Steve Stuart go? What would he do?
Whatever that is, he can't use Clark County as his launching pad. His dogged and tin-eared insistence on supporting the massive rip off means he's done around here locally and likely couldn't get elected dog catcher.
That likely means at this point that Paul Harris will be the next elected county commissioner. There really isn't anyone who can beat him in the commissioner's race: He only needs to survive to the general and he will win county wide much like Mielke if he's militantly opposed to the CRC scam... just like Mielke.
So, with a likely commissioner Harris, what's that mean for replacements?
Who will get the appointment?
Well, it can't be a Paulbot. They'd get crushed in the general by Probst, who, if he wants to run would be a little more difficult to defeat... although anyone running against Probst who opposed the CRC scam would likely beat him to a pulp.
The problem is that I expect a Paulbot WILL get the appointment, because the Paulbots stupidly believe the people, who have opposed them at every turn, somehow magically support them now.
They don't.
Maybe Julie Olson. But not likely.
It's interesting. Hopefully the commissioners will make a pragmatic and not an emotional, partisan view. Time will tell.

John "Pit Yorkie" Laird jumps butt first into the moron zone.
The Pit Yorkie is the local mental equivalent of a Nazi.
Seriously.
His nazi-like tendency to belittle the people, to think we're stupid, to believe 100% in government infallibility, his dogged insistence on ignoring the facts, his blood oath to ramming the CRC down our throats.... all of those are reminiscent of the mindset of an SS officer fresh out of Bad Tolz.
Everyone who opposes Laird and the rest of the downtown mafia's view is not only wrong, they're stupid dullards without any position worthy of consideration. His situational ethics are legendary. His failure to even acknowledge the facts that destroy his moronic, harmful positions... all of these things show this carbuncle on our community up for what he really is?
Take today's idiotic spew:
The answer to the first part of the question is "no."
This lying scumbag knows damned well that the only "solution" even looked at was the one we have now. No other solution was looked at... or even glanced at.
Laird, the epitome of scum, knew that when he keyed this garbage.
So... no.
Second, everyone walking upright is smarter than Laird is, but in this instance, you can be sure that his blind belief in that garbage... as if those who rejected, without even looking at any other of the many much more efficient and cheaper solutions are somehow smarter then WE are.
When, as the Oregon Supreme Court noted and this despicable rag continually ignores, the fact of the matter is that the solution we have now IS THE ONLY SOLUTION EVER CONSIDERED, then the relative intelligence of those raping us is really irrelevant.
Again, the answer is "no."
Why did you and the rest of these scum start lying 5 years ago? Why did you start attacking us? Why did you and Brancaccio at first act like there WAS no opposition? And then why did you belittle us when that opposition became overwhelming?
And most importantly....
Why are you and the rest of the downtown mafia deny us a vote?
See, Laird.... you make it far too easy.
You knew the answers before you asked the questions. Slime that you are, you didn't care.
Then this garbage:
Number of words. Number of syllables in a word. For example, None of Laird's columns can have more than 10 words in them. Any more than that is completely unnecessary and may damage the community he, unfortunately lives in.
And the case, not even being close to "closed" is this:
First of all, the laws Steward and the Yorkie are blabbing about DON'T WORK EITHER.
Thousands more people are killed in cars every year than by guns.
Second, going back to Laird's own words: pandering to the fringe-left, pro-government morons like Laird doesn't solve the problem, either.
It's not just that Laird is a liar.... it's also that he does it so badly.... and it's so easy to blow holes through his positions.
But then, it is of most fringe-leftists. Isn't it?
Seriously.
His nazi-like tendency to belittle the people, to think we're stupid, to believe 100% in government infallibility, his dogged insistence on ignoring the facts, his blood oath to ramming the CRC down our throats.... all of those are reminiscent of the mindset of an SS officer fresh out of Bad Tolz.

His failure to even acknowledge the facts that destroy his moronic, harmful positions... all of these things show this carbuncle on our community up for what he really is?
Take today's idiotic spew:
Homework required — Before you present your amazing magic solution about a new bridge or light rail, do the rest of us a favor and ask yourself four questions:
(1) Was my amazing magic solution studied extensively five years ago by people who are much smarter than I am?This moronic squit has two separate issues:
The answer to the first part of the question is "no."
This lying scumbag knows damned well that the only "solution" even looked at was the one we have now. No other solution was looked at... or even glanced at.
Laird, the epitome of scum, knew that when he keyed this garbage.
So... no.
Second, everyone walking upright is smarter than Laird is, but in this instance, you can be sure that his blind belief in that garbage... as if those who rejected, without even looking at any other of the many much more efficient and cheaper solutions are somehow smarter then WE are.
When, as the Oregon Supreme Court noted and this despicable rag continually ignores, the fact of the matter is that the solution we have now IS THE ONLY SOLUTION EVER CONSIDERED, then the relative intelligence of those raping us is really irrelevant.
(2) After a thorough vetting, did these experts rule out my amazing magic solution?No other "solution" was even looked at. The only "thorough vetting" that exists is in the vacuous space under Laird's chrome dome.
Again, the answer is "no."
(3) Was their solution endorsed by popularly elected officials on both sides of the Columbia River?Some. Some are no longer in, and have been thrown out of office as a result. Since that was the scam from the beginning, only the scumbag that is Laird refuses to acknowledge it, of course they went along.
(4) Why didn't I pay attention and get involved five years ago?I DID pay attention and I DID get involved 5 years ago... but since the CRC had a POLICY of ignoring us, why would you even bother to ask?
Why did you and the rest of these scum start lying 5 years ago? Why did you start attacking us? Why did you and Brancaccio at first act like there WAS no opposition? And then why did you belittle us when that opposition became overwhelming?
And most importantly....
Why are you and the rest of the downtown mafia deny us a vote?
See, Laird.... you make it far too easy.
You knew the answers before you asked the questions. Slime that you are, you didn't care.
Then this garbage:
From Jesse's cold, dead fingers — "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart recently examined the controversial gun-control issue and presented a video clip of Jesse Ventura snarling, "Do we go to the Ford Motor Co. and tell them to stop making these automobiles because people get drunk and kill people in cars?"Then let's start enacting limits on the press.
Backed into a corner, the timid Stewart had no choice but to agree with the former pro wrestler. "No," Stewart confessed. "But we do enact stricter blood alcohol limits, raise the drinking age, ramp up enforcement and penalties, charge bartenders who serve drunks, and launch huge public awareness campaigns to stigmatize the dangerous behavior, and we do all these things because it might just help bring drunken driving rates down — I don't know — by two-thirds in a few decades (supportive chart posted on the TV screen next to Stewart)." Case closed.
Number of words. Number of syllables in a word. For example, None of Laird's columns can have more than 10 words in them. Any more than that is completely unnecessary and may damage the community he, unfortunately lives in.
And the case, not even being close to "closed" is this:
