Nice catch by Niki Sullivan over at the TVW blog during testimony on SB 6035, which would reform the retrospective ratings plan system (the infamous “retro” money that BIAW uses as a slush fund to launch endless and usually untruthful attacks against Democrats.)
Rick D. (Didn’t catch his last name): “The Retro program is desperate for serious reform… this program is completely lacking in rigorous … accounting.” He said he participated in the BIAW Retro pool for some time. He would receive refunds, but never knew why or what it was based on. When he found out the BIAW was using some of the refund money to buy political ads, he protested. He says he was kicked out of the program for questioning it.
But it sounds like a couple of senators weren’t buying it so much:
Sen. Karen Keiser asked Rick if he ever received any safety information from his retro program. Yes, he said. He attended training that was “invaluable.”
Sen. Janea Holmquist said she was having a “hard time believing” that Rick didn’t know where the money was spent. She asked if he was on the board of the program. He said yes, for one meeting.
“I just want to highlight that this is a voluntary program,” Holmquist said. You belong to the Retro pool voluntarily and give them your money voluntarily.
Unless, of course, you say something the BIAW doesn’t like, then they kick you out.
It would be a shame if BIAW had to actually go out and solicit donations to fund its vicious campaigns. It’s pretty clear a lot of their own members don’t even like what they do.
Today Sullivan rounds up the proposed legislation here. Requiring an actuarial review and requiring refunds to members, less administrative costs, sounds pretty reasonable. But wait!
That’s the basic framework. But there’s more: During the 2008 campaign, the state Democratic party raised concerns about the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW, the largest retro program) using some of its retro refund for political activity — something that is not illegal. In the public hearing yesterday, some who testified in opposition to the bill said they thought it was an attempt to curb political speech. Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, a sponsor, said the bill has nothing to do with that.
To back the train up to the starting point: most regular citizens would be beyond surprised to know that BIAW funds its political activities from rebates in a worker’s compensation fund. It’s downright sleazy and outrageous, and there’s no logical reason to allow the practice to continue, despite the whimpering from BIAW and others.
It’s a freaking insurance program administered by the state, for crying out loud, and protestations about free speech are more than a little ridiculous in that context. The state is under no obligation to enable BIAW or any other group to divert insurance funds towards politics.
Sure, BIAW will cry like stuck pigs about “retribution,” but who cares? Side with the little people for once, Democrats! All those small contractors deserve to get their money back, especially with the economy in the toilet, not pay for a bunch of horseshit right-wing television ads.
It will be interesting to hear how the wingnuts will defend the political use of these insurance funds for kooky right wing causes, given their Sophist defense of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation’s (funded by anti-union Wal-Mart and other prominent right wing kooks)cheesy attempts to deny the Teacher’s Union the use of their funds for political purposes.
Sounds almost like a union. Kinda like how to be a democrat you have to be in lockstep. How many democrats, including the ones that profess their faith in God also believe in killing unborn children.
Yup. Sounds like a union. I would even say it sounds like the los angeles teachers union.
#2 — Like that wasn’t predictable. How are insurance premiums for injured workers the same as union dues?
Also, the teacher’s unions ask their membership individually whether they may use a portion of their dues for political purposes. If the answer is ‘no’, then they are not (for that individual).
The Evergreen Freedom Foundation wants to make it a law that the union has to ask the membership individually each and every paycheck.
Everyone is tired of these wingnuts and their dishonest hidden agenda to squash the workingman.
Marvin asked:
Nancy Pelosi got an earful.
Now back to Jon,
Wait a minute… we heard that’s who the Democratic support. Evil Republicans only support the rich. Wait a minute… the Democratic are rich… Jon, didn’t you get the memo?
I’ll wait for the proof as Merry Fitzmas still rings in my ears…
Many wingnuts like being labeled as wingnuts because it’s the only time in their brutally ignorant lives that they have been compared to a potentially useful object.
This is especially true of the One Who Waxes the Pud.

#6 — Your type only quotes the law when it suits your hidden, nefarious, kooky agenda.
If not, then you think that the law is wrong — and you don’t need to obey.
You will obey. You will obey the Law of the Obamaites!!
#9 — “…help the poor chilluns.”
Well, Hab’ Moicy, Br’er Rabbit!

Thanks leadless@11. Proves you are Mr 24×7.
Regarding quoting the law… if you are paying attention both your buds HAs clueless idiot and Dr NotRight unsuccessfully tried to tell the HA world US spending bills don’t come from the House of Representatives.
The BIAW is using insurance funds for injured workers to promote wingnut policies that will hurt workers.
That is immoral.
# 12 — What are you talking about, Willis?
Say, aren’t these wingers the same folks who shriek about being forced to belong to unions* that spend a tiny fraction of their dues money on political advertising to accomplish things like, um, higher wages, better health benefits, and safer working conditions?
* Except no one is required to belong to a union.
A union can’t kick out a member for saying anything against the union. As a matter of fact, most elections for union officers can get pretty spirited.
Likewise, if you are a stockholder and you don’t like how your company is spending money in political lobbying and donations, you can at least exercise a vote in the annual election of directors. Sure, it’s highly unlikely your vote will have much impact considering that pension and investment funds hold most of the shares, but at least you have a theoretical opportunity to persuade others that the company shouldn’t be using your money in that fashion.
So, the workers are the ones who pay the industrial insurance premiums through their paycheck deductions. It is for their care that the premiums are supposed to be spent. At what point do the workers get to vote on how the money is spent, and to prevent it from being spent on political campaigns which are contrary to their interests? In the BIAW case, they have no opportunity at all to do so.
Browsing the internet, I occasionally read articles about how to succeed at work, or keep your job in these tough times, or similar subjects. These articles are full of tips about building relationships, making yourself more valuable to the organization, letting the boss know what you contribute to the company, common e-mail and telephone mistakes, etc. It all adds up to an extensive how-to manual about “how to work” approaching the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica. You get the impression that you have to spend every moment of your working life strategizing and playing office survival games, or you’re toast! This seems like an awful lot of effort and trouble for a lousy $30,000 or $40,000 a year. Hell, I make more than that by sitting on my fat rabbit ass in front of a computer doing nothing. The big boys who make the rules (and most of the money your hard work produces) don’t have to go through all this shit. They do whatever they want! So why should you do it? If you don’t work, you can tear up the encyclopedia, quit worrying, and put out of your mind how many things you screwed up today! I don’t do any of this stuff. That’s because I don’t work. And I get nifty tax breaks for not working! Wages are so heavily taxed you’d think a job is a light rail tunnel. Therefore, who wants wages? I earn no wages. Therefore, I pay no payroll taxes! Doing nothing is more rewarding than working, so I don’t work! Nobody should work. The tax code punishes people for working, and rewards lazy bums like me, so everyone should live like me!
Yup, AmeriKKKa is a nation of cowards, at least that is what the man that pardoned marc rich says.
“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race.”
The unresolved race issues are old people. When they die off the problem goes away.

re 18: What does the man who pardoned Oliver North (the prist and nun murderer) have to say, Marvin?
Funny how the Dems nominated a black man for President. And even funnier (to the wingnut mindset) that the African-American Democrat WON.
Funny as in the joke is on the wingnuts.
Strange how the liberal media doesn’t feel it’s important to show the country the reception obama is getting when he travels all across the nation to speak.
Lovely pics of the protesters.
I didn’t think you would address a race issue headless.
Your racist beliefs are well known.
Oops, this sockpuppet has been outed. Better change your name again.
The Rick D of this article cannot possibly be the little Ricky Dumbass of HA.org and (un)SP comment threads.
The Rick D. in the article is sane.
The joke is on the country.
I hope you appreciate the democrats putting your grandchildren into debt before they are even born.
Strange how the right wing media is so violent:

Is there ONE Republican and his district that will refuse stimulus funds on PRINCIPLE?
Nope. This right wing party talk of “principles” is just hot air.

The people approve of this new leadership. They rejected “more of the same” back on Nov 4.
Unlike some fools who wanted just what got us into the current troubles.
RR @ 7: I tried playing the game too, and then I realized that it’s not WHAT you know, as much as WHO you know. If you’ve got the contacts, you get ahead, as long as you don’t screw up TOO much.
If you don’t have the right contacts,then you are resigned to working for those that do. They figure they can ALWAYS hire someone to do the – you know- actual work. But guys who can play golf with other executives need to be paid the huge bucks to ensure that they actually come to work occassionally!!!!
Oh and the Iraq war didn’t do that?
At least this money is being spent here and not in a sinkhole of fraud and blood in the Middle East.
And as I showed in 26, Republicans can’t scramble fast enough to put their mitts on it.
Nice indeed. Reminds me of the sore losers who booed when McCain congratulated Obama on his crushing victory over “more of the same”.
Sore losers?
What were democrats like you for the 8 years of bush?
Remember all those bushitler signs.
By the way, a crushing victory would be more like what reagan did to the democrats. Did you know he won EVERY state except one. Talk about crushing.
Marvin, your side was crushed. Take my word for it.
Why shouldn’t the people paying taxes, which obama has shown excludes democrats, why shouldn’t they get something for that which they have to pay off.
It sounds “fair” to me.
Are you against being fair?
@18 Can’t stand people speaking honestly about this country’s warts, eh Marvie? Are you one of those cowards who won’t face the truth about what some Americans were (and maybe some still are)? http://www.historicaldocuments.....chings.jpg
@19 Oh yeah, that too, yes … let’s not forget that Saint Ronnie and his loyal asskisser, Colonel Ollie, armed, financed, and sponsored the El Salvador death squads who murdered American nuns.
Fair is that the Party of NO means what they say.
But that’s can never come from the party that championed the policies that got us where we are.
I hope this lesson isn’t lost on people when they go to the polls on Nov 2010.
@20 What isn’t funny is how many wingnuts post comments on the internet wishing for assassination. I frequently see comments like that on AOL.
Justifiably angry over the theft of the election in Florida in 2000 (Gore won the popular vote) and Ohio in 2004 (fraud was rampant).
Thankfully it all came around last November. Hopefully it will stay that way for a long time to come.
@21 Isn’t it great that we live in a free country where you can protest against Democrats without being arrested, beaten, or having your car vandalized! Don’t try protesting against Republicans, though — they’re fucking nazis.

Your word and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks.
52% – 45% isn’t crushing.
Bush1 had a 53% – 45% advantage over dukakis. That’s a more crushing victory than obamas.
Reagan had a 58% – 40% over mondale. That is crushing.
Please keep things in perspective. Obama couldn’t do what bush 1 did.
@24 A Republican complaining about deficits is like Ted Bundy complaining about women disappearing in his neighborhood.
And Obama won Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida.
We’ll take it, thanks.

Besides, your excuse about the “popular vote” is bullshit. You, and your fellow democrats were angry because you lost.
18 “The unresolved race issues are old people.”
You know, Marv, that’s what I thought, particularly watching my own children maturing with an apparent total unawareness of the vestigal seeds of prejudice that most of us boomers had sown into the furrows of our psyches by our parents. I was certainly further encouraged by the very eloquent manner in which McCain spoke of how far we’ve come in his concession speech. Then again, it’s hard not to remember McCain admonishing his own supporters for their ignorance and bigotry, not to mention Palin’s shameless wallowing in it.
Then came that delightful incident at the basketball game in Redmond last week. I don’t know for sure, but I’ll betcha the idiot parent who charged out onto the court and slugged one of the Garfield players was on the sunny side of 40. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.
@28 In any business or profession, the rainmakers get the big bucks, and the rest of the employees get the work.
The frenzy and vitriol with which our two leading right-wing apologists have jumped into this thread would seem to indicate that bringing up the subject really hit a nerve.
As to the right excoriating unions for campaigning for candidates and measures that benefit their members but not finding any problem with what the BIAW has done…not particularly surprising. Almost every facet of conservative ideology involves some sort of double standard.
@32 The problem with these cockroaches is they don’t know when they’ve been stomped.
17 I’ve seen some of the same thing, and I don’t get it either. How many thousand words does it take to tell someone to swallow?
@40 “52% – 45% isn’t crushing.”
It is when you figure the GOP started with a 4-million-vote advantage from voting machine fraud. You know you’ve been crushed when the public is so mad at you even your black boxes can’t save you. On top of that, you ran a war hero against a black Harvard lawyer. Under the circumstances, this result was a pounding.

Nope. We’re angry because Bush, Rove and Company stole the elections.
Some of us, (yes including me) sucked it up and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. We gave him more rope after 9/11 and then he hung the country with it in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, the secret torture prisons and the ugly 2004 campaign.
Now we’re living with the catastrophic fallout of his mis-governance and neglect.

@59 Yawn. I won’t bother posting links to all the news stories I’ve seen about voters complaining about touch screen machines that changed their Kerry votes to Bush votes. (Funny how it never works the other way.) These stories are well known and don’t require reiteration to liars who won’t listen to the truth anyway. But if you really want to know, read what Greg Palast writes about it. He documents everything.
For example, Palast documented the GOP’s disgusting racist campaign against African-American military voters:
“The Republican National Committee has a special offer for African-American soldiers: Go to Baghdad, lose your vote.
“A confidential campaign directed by GOP party chiefs in October 2004 sought to challenge the ballots of tens of thousands of voters in the last presidential election, virtually all of them cast by residents of Black-majority precincts.
“Files from the secret vote-blocking campaign were obtained by BBC Television Newsnight, London. They were attached to emails accidentally sent by Republican operatives to a non-party website.
“One group of voters wrongly identified by the Republicans as registering to vote from false addresses: servicemen and women sent overseas.
“Here’s how the scheme worked: The RNC mailed these voters letters in envelopes marked, ‘Do not forward’, to be returned to the sender. These letters were mailed to servicemen and women, some stationed overseas, to their US home addresses. The letters then returned to the Bush-Cheney campaign as ‘undeliverable.’ The lists of soldiers of ‘undeliverable’ letters were transmitted from state headquarters … to the RNC in Washington. The party could then challenge the voters’ registration and thereby prevent their absentee ballots being counted.
“One target list was comprised exclusively of voters registered at the Jacksonville, Florida, Naval Air Station. … [See this scrub sheet at http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.g.....038;size=o ] …
“The BBC obtained several dozen confidential emails sent by the Republican’s national Research Director and Deputy Communications chief, Tim Griffin to GOP Florida campaign chairman Brett Doster and other party leaders. Attached were spreadsheets marked, ‘Caging.xls.’ Each of these contained several hundred to a few thousand voters and their addresses. A check of the demographics of the addresses on the ‘caging lists,’ as the GOP leaders called them indicated that most were in African-American majority zip codes.
“Ion Sanco, the non-partisan elections supervisor of Leon County (Tallahassee) when shown the lists by this reporter said: ‘The only thing I can think of – African American voters listed like this – these might be individuals that will be challenged if they attempted to vote on Election Day.’ …
“The Republican National Committee in Washington refused our several requests to respond to the BBC discovery. … The party has refused to say why it would mark soldiers as having ‘bad addresses’ subject to challenge when they had been assigned abroad. … Setting up such a challenge list would be a crime under federal law. … While the party insisted the lists were not created for the purpose to challenge Black voters, the GOP ultimately offered no other explanation for the mailings. …
“Soldiers sending in their ballot from abroad would not know their vote was lost because of a challenge.”
Quoted under Fair Use; for complete article and/or copyright info see http://tinyurl.com/jv9nf
Roger Rabbit Commentary: You see, pudnutz? You’re a fucking traitor to your own race for defending slimeballs like Griffin. He belongs in a federal prison, because denying someone the right to vote because of their race is a federal felony! And to do it to soldiers deployed to combat zones … well, that’s beyond the pale, and no self-respecting military veteran would put up with it.
The Sierra Club has to have a firewall between regular dues/spending and political activities and the BIAW gets to use L&I refunds to fund political activities. Nice!!!
If SB 6035 fails lets kick Keiser out of the Democratic Party.
Frank Blethen’s contribution to the state’s budget crisis is to ask for tax breaks. Newspapers are already exempt from sales tax, but never mind that; Frank wants the whole hog:
“OLYMPIA — … Seattle Times publisher Frank Blethen and Scott Campbell, publisher of The Columbian in Vancouver, say they need help during tumultuous times in the industry.
“Under the proposed measure, the business and occupation tax on newspapers would be cut … through 2015.
“Rowland Thompson, executive director for Allied Daily Newspapers of Washington, said newspapers are asking for the same tax rate that the aerospace and timber industries currently have.
“He noted the decline in the number of statehouse reporters over the past few years. ‘That’s something we’re desperately trying to stem the tide of, to keep those newsrooms vibrant and alive,’ he said. …
“The [bill] … would cost the state $2.1 million through 2011. Through 2015, … it would cost … $8.1 million.”
(Quoted from Seattle Times under fair use.)

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Yeah, no doubt Frank would love to pay the same taxes that Boeing and Weyerhauser pay!! Unfortunately for him, he can’t tell the Legislature “do things my way or I’ll pull 60,000 jobs out of your state” like they can.
Where do I apply for my tax break? Oops, I’m an elderly rabbit living in a public park on a fixed income, not a $4 million Lake Washington waterfront estate, so I don’t get one.
My property tax went up $36 a month this year. I had to cancel my newspaper subscription to pay it.
oh fuck you , jewish tools, everything said by republicans are always lies , right? thats why you have the circus in illinois now, if burris were white, he ‘d be out. but we treat blacks like the special education kids at school, we dont expect them to be smart enough to take any personal responsibility, and the jews love the idiots because they can manipulate them.

I know this has been pointed out to you many times already…
The liberal rag, New York Times, did a count of the votes and agreed that there were more votes for bush.
Contrary to what many partisans of former Vice President Al Gore have charged, the United States Supreme Court did not award an election to Mr. Bush that otherwise would have been won by Mr. Gore.
Now MoveOn.
Exactly. Otherwise obama would have lost.
If not for palin, chances are obama would have crushed mccain.

Easy..State Employees are forced to pay part of their salaries to the Union in the form of dues. Nothing voluntary. The argument could be made that PUBLIC MONEY (State Employee Salaries including Union Dues) is being re-directed to the Union which uses these dues for POLITICAL PURPOSES.
Hardly a stretch….but you will deny it.

“although the vast majority of the money has gone to Democrats.”
@2: It takes an idiot like Stamm to say this:
How many republicans who supported Abramoff (all of them) helped pay for forced abortions in the NMI?
Those are the hypocrites – not the people who thing that abortion is bad (and we should limit it by supporting contraception), but that it is the choice of the mother (not the state-enforced and mandated decision that will lead to illegal and deadly coat hanger abortions). Of course the same people that want to limit contraception (more government control) are the ones who are against abortions – and abstinance has been proven to be ineffective (ask Sarah Palin’s unwed teenage daughter).
@82 A new friend? You can do better than that. Hmm, maybe you just want him for a pet. If that’s the case, my bad, Puddy.
@86: cynical idiot – where was YOUR outrage when Bush put us into Iraq for no reason?
Obama is simply keeping his word – he has said from the beginning that Afghanistan is the bigger threat and that Iraq was a distraction.
Why are you such an idiot? Can’t you read? Are you so busy trying to criticize Obama that you don’t even know his stands on the issues?
You are an embarassment to even the ignorant trolls!

it fucking yentels cracke me up that u yentels love unwed black mothers , give them welfare and food stamps, give condoms to 6th graders, teach sex to middle school, yet have to bring up sarah palins unwed daughter. did u see the movie the stand? you fucking tools
Fool @ 86
If you had been listening to what Obama said on the stump instead of what’s filtered through right wing hate radio, you would have heard that Obama supports shoring up Afghanistan against a resurgent Taliban while drawing down Iraq responsibly.
The current schedule for the bulk of combat forces to be withdrawn from Iraq is 16 months. Petraeus and Odierno prefer 23 months but Obama so far isn’t buying it.
did u see the pope dope slap the jewish tool nancy pelosi today?
Idiot stump@95: Why do you call me the village idiot, when I’ve been calling you HAs clueless idiot for over a year? Since no one has said anything otherwise and you love the HA village, you are the HA village idiot. Keep projecting fool. You can’t run away from what you are – a fooltard, HAs clueless village idiot.
You should be proud the other HA lefties recognize you for what you are… clueless… a fool… a moron… and an idiot. Be proud man. Tell you children who you are on HA. Tell that SEIU wife you are the HA idiot.
As Puddy stated before if Gore contested all 67 counties he probably wins. He said the same thing. Instead as NYT said, he screwed the pooch.
But you are still the HA clueless village idiot.
92 – CNR – nice observation about manoflunacy but I think he spits out his meds. They don’t taste like tic tacs to him.
As for manofidiocy’s new friend, our resident village idiot, there’s no substance in the known universe that can constructively animate a right wing propaganda-driven zombie/ghoul.
did u see the post where i explained the shift key to you
press shiftKEY LIKE THIS cool

HA clueless village idiot@93:
I guess Puddy being the first to spot you as half moron and half fool hit a nerve. Well pedophile I guess life sucks…
Yesiree I expect Pavlov’s dog to post his sex offenders site now.
It’s too bad rerun, HAs clueless village idiot can’t think of anything original.
look smart not stoopid

Dr NotRight, so manoftruth is now my new buddy?
You’ve been reaching all day..
Starting with the post the House doesn’t generate US spending bills (can you say TARP1 foolishness) and now you post #92.
Today you drank Steve’s Stupid Solution. If you were as bad in the office as you were on this blog, I really hope you have medical malpractice insurance. You were in bad form today.
Steve, you are back in the closet getting some of your stupid solution?
I thought you sold it all to Ekim, curried goat abuser/lover.
Griffey back in Seattle.
Um, if monoftrash drank Steve’s Stupid Solution it just might do him a world of good.
He’s not some alter-ego, sockpuppet thing your up to these days, is he, Puddy?
@109 I like that.
So is Roger Maris the single season homerun king again? Where’s Ford Frick and his asterisk when we need him?
Steve@110, are you stupid like HAs clueless village idiot?
@112 The stupid one around these parts goes by the name of Manoftruth. He even makes Marvin and Cynical look smart. That takes some doing.
u see whats happening now on the mexican border with drug cartels? and its coming to us, because jews want open borders so that can water down the white christian male. so for their selfish purposes they are taking down a nation.
by the way, fuck u eric holder for calling us cowards
the “manofbullshit” and the pudddybitch.
a match made in hell…just where lying losers like them end up.
re 85: Read my pussy lips, Cynical: The union membership has a CHOICE as to whether a portion of their dues goes to political purposes.
The top-down Pigs at the BIAW just swipe the insurance premiums and spend them on right wing claptrap TV ads that are against the workers own interests.
How can you be so obtuse.
How do you know when a BIAW rep. is lying?
What? Dense as spent uranium Rujax! came in?
Came in his pants again with that #116 comment
@118: Because leadless douchy says so?
Manoftruth: Please keep down the race hatred. Yes there are Democratics who are showing their American hatred. It’s better to show us who votes how than spelling out their heritage.
Let bentoversmellinghisfarts and leadless douchy apply the race hatred 24×7.
The village idiot broadcast a request. Who am I to balk?
http://www.republicanoffenders.com/
It’s his party and he can’t cry but for stupid joy.
The rest of us unfortunately have to pick up the pieces.
puddy, its not race hatred. all i’m doing is pointing out the same thing nyt editorial writer richard rosenthal points out when he says “the white christian power structure”. i’m just pointing out the jewish power structure. so tell me, why can rosenthal say it but i cant?
HAs clueless village idiot@122,
Psychological issues? Why are you writing to yourself fool?

This is the third order in a row you’ve successfully carried out. Makes you a liar again.
HAs clueless village idiot

Then manoftruth use that as part of your argument. Now I understand what you are writing about.

Obama’s popularity continues to plunge…free-fall. From today’s Rasmussen:
Thursday, February 19, 2009
It was as high as +33. Obama has frittered away plenty of political capital. People are starting to mutter:
O==One
B==Bad
A==Ass
M==Move
A==America
Boy, the Illinois Democrats are really showing us CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN, aren’t they?
Folks will start to connect the dots. Where there is smoke, there is OBAMA!
Liars, Tax Cheats & PORK Peddlers==Democrats
The local chapters of the BIAW use the refunds as ammunition to get members to re-up on their membership dues. A member general or sub contractor will not get their refund check until it pays the current year’s dues. Those dues are $450.00 a year here in Kitsap. When I was still contracting, they’d call to inform me that they had a check waiting to be sent, as soon as they received their membership dues. I passed.
I wonder what happens to that spurned money? Does it go back to the state fund, or into the BIAW’s bank account?
by the way, speaking of racism. i never watch the view, but my wife does, i try not to even listen. i couldnt catcth the whole thing, but it was something to do with maybe lebron james and racism. i’m so fucking sick of the fulltime topic in this country is racism. go the fuck away
Hey Jonny boy…
Where is your pithy response to your accusations in http://horsesass.org/?p=12757 ?
LMAO!!! The HA’s village idiot’s feelings got hurt.. Awwwwwwww…
See my thumb and forefinger..
I’m playing the world’s tiniest violin for HA’s resident moron.

What is the lying I don’t take orders from Puddy Pavlov’s dog babbling about @132?
Maybe leadless douchy and his 27 sock puppets can assist.
I like my ASS. It helps me deliver the goods. I know why you laugh yours off. No goods to deliver. IQ = penis length = 0.
133 – So moronic.. So irrelevant…
So penis obsessed. Now he’s bragging about his ass.
The fool should show it to Limbaugh. The fat man could use a break from the side-effects of Viagra.
Perfect. Big Pants’ ultimate tool..
Sad.
And bush kept his word and put troops in iraq.
But like the left-wingnuts were saying for the last 6 years of the bush presidency…
Iraq didn’t attack us. The people attacked us were from pakistan.
Did afghanistan attack us? Weren’t the alleged perpetrators of 9/11 from pakistan?
Change?
Nope, the same strategy of attacking countries that didn’t attack us.
Why won’t liberals support liberal radio.
But it does explain why lefties hate the free market, without government involvement liberal ideas are unable to attract sponsors.
Oooooh wow such a “powerful” cumback@133.
Powerfully moronic…
Everyone knew this was coming…
During the bush administration dissent was considered patriotic. Now with a democrat in office the left can’t stand stand to hear about the failings of their savior.
An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.
Capt. Steve McCool of the Oklahoma City Police Department is seen in this NewsOK.com video frame grab. McCool says an officer who wrongly pulled a man over last week and confiscated an anti-Barack Obama sign from his vehicle misinterpreted the sign as threatening.
The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read “Abort Obama, not the unborn.”
Yup, an obama supporter taking signs of dissent. Typical.
At least this proud democrat, instead of the “hide the truth” left wingnuts on this site, knows some truth.
Like the obama supporter said, abortion means to kill.
Marvin, I have the same link in another thread.
Yep
The BIAW is spending someone else’s insurance premium on kooky wingnut TV ads.???!!!
Disgraceful!!
Stamn should be the poster fool for a return to the back alley.
Ignorant moron.
Last time I looked OK was as red as all get out.
Here’s a little google for the resident fools:
Results 1 – 10 of about 117,000 for “kill obama”. (0.21 seconds)
Dissent?
Yes, according to the chimp you fools voted for twice.
Those who harbor the terrorists (the Taliban in this case) are just as culpable.
But the situation over there seems completely over the heads of fools and it wouldn’t do any good for anyone to set fools straight on it.
Yes Marvin, you’re one of those fools.
So let’s think about this for a minute.
A cop, belonging to a government union, that ylb believes is republican, decided to use his government backed power to take a patriotic* sign from someone that he agrees with.
No wonder Puddy points out how you earned the name clueless.
*like the left has been saying for the last 8 years, dissent is patriotic.
@138 “During the bush administration dissent was considered patriotic”
Laughable.
Yet it is obama, and not voters that voted for the chimp that is sending young men to a war in a sovereign country.
Priceless. Unless it’s your son/daughter that obama is sending to war.
With obama as president, are the children of lefties now signing up for service? Or are they still letting the poor disadvantaged youth of america sacrifice their lives for the benefit of liberals/democrats?
So that means obama is going to invade pakistan next? After all, the terrorists that allegedly brought down the towers were from pakistan.
Something maybe a left wingnut can answer. The left insisted that bush and his war was causing more terrorists. When those on the left watched the beheadings on youtube at the hands of islamic terrorists, did that cause them to join the military and fight what they considered wrong.
Left wingnuts hate when you quote others on the left. As evidenced by your reaction to the comments of bush hating bill maher.
Did you hear about the pope and nancy pelosi. He said it was her duty to protect the unborn.
How do you feel about abortion?
How does your God feel about abortion?
Again, no use arguing the complexities of the situation in Afghanistan to a fool.
Hint: After involvement dating back to Ronnie Raygun giving weapons to the Mujahideen fighters, Afghanistan should not have been left to backslide into the twelfth century.
Yep, things like Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, torture prisons, and white phosphorous bombs tend to do that.
Anyone with a brain can see the cop acted on his own initiative not at the direction of any politicial party or union.
The Secret Service just did its job protecting the President.
But you don’t have much of brain so this doesn’t mean much to you.
You either missed the point due to reading comprehension problems or intentionally avoided it.
If the actions of bush increased the number of terrorists, why didn’t images of the world trade centers falling and beheading cause liberals to stand up and enlist in the military.
You really want to ask this question.
Some liberals did. A certain nfl football player named Pat Tillman who was broadminded and free-thinking enough to read Noam Chomsky and realized right off the bat that the Iraq invasion was at best ill-advised and at worst illegal. He enlisted, saw action and was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan for his trouble.
By why would anyone enlist, liberal or conservative? The armed forces were well staffed and equipped to do the job. And just like the 1992 WTC bomber was caught and put in jail without many shots being fired, what was the big deal about catching bin Laden and al-Zawahiri and company and bringing them to justice?
What indeed? Except maybe as Pat Tillman saw an agenda of war making and war profiteering for its own sake.
Marvin Stamn trying to talk some sense into HAs clueless idiot:
Marvin give it up… HAs clueless village idiot and reason are polar opposites.
Right wing shitheads of course live for those horseshit right wing television ads.
For the right wing, you could broadcast those 24/7, 365 days per year and they’d be happier than pigs in a wallow.
Not a bad idea for a cable or satellite tv channel- wall to wall right wing horseshit tv ads. You could make a butt-load of money off the ignorance of right wing fools.
Anyone with a brain of course would avoid paying for such crap and laugh at it.
