Makes me wanna move to Alaska

by Goldy — Friday, 10/1/10, 8:13 am

You know, I do my best to make things interesting, but compared to, say, Delaware, California and New York, our Republicans are just so fucking boring. I mean, most of them suck, they really do, but they do so in such a totally unentertaining fashion.

    Odds are that Dave Reichert would like to ‘take you out’, Goldy.

    Careful what you say, Goldy.

    I know what you mean. I grew up in Illinois and my brother still lives back there. I call him all the time and he gets to rant about their crazy (now impeached former) gov Blago…and I get to tell him about what? Gary Locke? Gregoire? You may disagree on some specific law/policy issue with them, but BY GOD they are boring but competent technocrats compared to the insane folks in other states. Dude, if you’re an Illinois gov in my lifetime you have a 3 in 4 chance of ending up in prison. The last one was a Republican (Ryan), the next one will likely be a Dem (hopefully Blago). I give Illinois credit for spiting their corruption evenly between the Democrats and Republicans. Of the 6 governors jailed or in serious trouble legally, 3 were Republicans and 3 were Democrats.

    How many Washington state governors end up in prison?

    Come on, we have a Lt. Governor who makes his living singing anti-drug songs to elementary school kids. Which is better then when I first met him (his first year in the Legislature) when he was a clerk in a mini-mart. Dig deeper folks, we have some true goof balls out there. I have more that I will post as we go forward. No, wait one more; Brian Derdowski – total nut job.

    It is simply because WA is not one of the twenty states that controls the US Senate. We are suffering from the tyranny of the minority obstructing all legislation because it can. Then, along with Fox donating another million dollars to the Chamber of Commerce, the GOP runs the most nutball conservatives they can find to make sure that those twenty states are obedient slaves to the moneyed interests. And they are.

    “[O]ur Republicans are just so fucking boring. I mean, most of them suck, they really do, but they do so in such a totally unentertaining fashion.”

    This is precisely why the Clown Brigade exists. The same stupidity seems reasonable by comparison if the mouth isn’t foaming when it speaks.

    ‘Makes me wanna to move to Alaska.’

    Please do! I’d be glad to help you pack, and even rent you a U-Haul, while ridding WA. of your ignorant mouth diarrhea for good. Of course, libtarded tender-handed men like Goldy don’t do well in States like Alaska. He may even have to get a job! (gasp!!) LOL.

    ok goldy, i’m gonna can my usual contempt for you and come clean and see if you’re honest enough to agree. republican politicians do SUCK. not that their stupid, corrupt , or liars. but horrible politicians. and the reason is, anyone with any political sense knoiws that if you run as a republican the msm will clean your clock even if you misspell the word potato. and if you were caught with 90k in your freezer as a republican, it would be on every station every day, nonstop, ad nauseum, etc etc. if you’re politically sharp, you’ll run as a dem, if you long for the 50’s, you’ll try the gop, and show your political naivete.

    @4: We have actually have a few characters in Washingtons state:

    Try checking out Dixy Lee Ray sometime – she was a faux democrat who was loved by republicans. She was anything but boring (crazy, maybe)

    Then there is Dan Evans – a republican who was actually respected by democrats (but not by radical republicans).

    And of course there was Mike Lowry – he was certainly not boring…

    We have had our share of crazy here too…

    Ever wonder where the republicans and the tea party are getting their money:

    Health insurance companies, after funding tens of millions of dollars in attack ads aimed to kill health reform, are now funding Republican candidates promising to repeal or water-down the bill. A report today notes that insurance companies have massively shifted their campaign giving to Republicans, and that health professionals have “quietly become the biggest supporters of the nascent Tea Party Caucus” with donations of “more than $2.7 million to Tea Party Caucus members.” Additionally, a report today by the Center for Public Integrity republished by National Journal reveals that veteran Republican lobbyist Scott Reed has stepped up to create a $25 million dollar front group to run ads against Democrats, and that it will be funded partially by insurance companies:

    Meanwhile, lobbyist Reed’s fledgling Commission on Hope, Growth and Opportunity, a 501 (c) (4) raised over half its $25 million goal to run ads in 20 House districts and a few Senate contests, Reed says. Where’s the dough coming from? “The big three stepping into the batter’s box are the financial services industry, the energy industry, and the health insurance industry,” Reed said.

    Yup – corporate america is trying to buy the election and prop up the idea-less republicans and tea party fools.

    How does it feel to be taken advantage of, tea party idiots?

    Thinkprogress has another nice piece and a great video on republicans answering questions from the media on HOW they would balance the budget.

    Not a single republican can actually find a single specific cut they would make.

    What a bunch of lying losers.

    All hat, no cattle.

    Big talking republicans are corporate shills and lying about the deficit.
