Dear Chairman Vance,
I cannot tell you how sorry I am to see you step down as chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, as you and I have worked so well together over recent years, apparently pursuing the same goal (you know… electing Democrats.) But the end of your political career is an opportunity for a new chapter in mine, and so I am pleased to officially put my name in for consideration as the new state GOP chair.
A Democratic partisan like me leading the state Republicans? Why the sudden change of heart?
Well, I can’t say that my recent snubbing by the Seattle City Council hasn’t impacted my decision to switch sides, but mostly it’s because I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of tilting at windmills, and I can’t think of anything more quixotic than seeking to turn around the state GOP’s fortunes after your disastrous leadership. Besides, I could use the money.
While a stridently liberal and foul-mouthed, Democratic blogger like me may not seem like the obvious choice to lead the state GOP to victory, I believe that I would bring to the chairmanship a unique and valuable strategic prospective sorely missing from the lobbyists-in-training and anti-scientific knuckle-draggers who have come to dominate the party’s leadership. For example, I doubt any other candidate is willing to tell the central committee the blunt truth… that state Republicans simply cannot win on the issues… that party leaders are too far out of touch with reality, let alone the mainstream of public opinion, to ever have hopes of gaining a majority.
What would Chairman Goldstein do to change this? Well, I suppose state Republicans could just start listening to voters, but hah… we both know that’s not going to happen. So I suggest that if the GOP wants to avoid achieving permanent minority status, the next chairman is going to have to start playing dirty.
No, stop laughing. I know you think you’ve been playing dirty all along. But I’m talking real dirty. Rolling in the muck, swallowing it, shitting it out, and eating your own excrement dirty. You know… Karl Rove dirty.
The King County GOP’s last-minute voter registration challenge was a good start and all, but the new state chair has to start thinking bigger and, well… dirtier. And if you ask the righties in my comment threads, they’ll tell you there’s nobody more qualified for that job than me.
So here are a few of the proposals and policy initiatives I intend to implement to promote the GOP’s proud agenda, should I be elected the new chairman of the Washington State Republican Party:
Katherine Harris for Secretary of State.
I mean, really… what’s the use of electing a Republican Secretary of State if when it comes to administering close elections, he’s just going to follow the law for chrisakes? Us Republicans need an SOS who understands that party loyalty always comes before petty, bureaucratic dictates like, say, the RCW, the state Constitution, or “personal ethics.” If we’d had a party stalwart like Katherine Harris in charge instead of that pussy Sam Reed, Dino Rossi would be governor today. Hell, with Harris as SOS, Will Baker would likely be State Auditor!
Purge the rolls.
And I don’t just mean the voter registration rolls. I mean every roll that produces any sort of official ID: driver’s licensing, library cards, Costco memberships… you name it. Combine that with a provision that requires photo ID to register to vote, and voila… we’ll have finally cleaned the voter rolls of all those pesky voters.
Institute a Poll Tax.
Man, those Democrats sure do love raising taxes, don’t they? Just dedicate a Poll Tax towards some knee-jerk, liberal, pork barrel, waste-of-money like education or health care for sick children, and those dumb schmucks Frank Chopp and Lisa Brown will do our dirty work for us. The Dems disenfranchising their own voters? It’s like taking candy from a baby… only sweeter.
Lynchings.
Anne Coulter’s got it right. Nothing like hanging a few aging hippies from the Fremont bridge to keep all those uppity liberals in their place.
As you can see, what I lack in party loyalty, conservative ideology, and qualifications, I more than make up for in sheer ruthlessness. I look forward to being invited to participate in a vigorous debate with my fellow candidates, and the opportunity to give the Washington state GOP the kind of leadership it deserves.
Sincerely,
David Goldstein

OH WOW, here’s KLAKE playing diarea mouth again, dude, move to the east coast, it’s a lonely world for narrow minded dipshits like you over here in the Northwest. Don’ t you want friends?
Goldy,
You candidacy makes me sorry I haven’t a vote in the election.
You da man.
ROGER RABBIT DECLARES CANDIDACY FOR GOP PARTY CHAIR
Dear Mr. Vance:
I’m a MUCH better candidate than the foul-mouthed blogger, David Goldstein, who is in favor of dirty politics and LYNCHINGS for chrissakes. Furthermore, I have a winning formula for GOP candidates:
1) Stop dissing on the poor and support more food stamps and day care;
2) Stop trying to cut tax and start investing money in our state’s educational system, social services, and transportation infrastructure;
3) Support real election reform that encourages people to vote and stops throwing up roadblocks to voting;
4) Support the labor movement, because they’ll give you lots of campaign cash and zillions of volunteers at crunch time; and
5) Support gay rights, an end to discrimination of all kinds, and separation of church and state because IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
See, Chris? If you guys start thinking like Democrats, acting like Democrats, and elect a Democrat to run your party — you might win!
Sincerely,
Roger Rabbit
Your Next Chair
ROGER RABBIT POLL
The next Washington State GOP Chair should be:
[ ] 1. David Goldstein
[ ] 2. Roger Rabbit
[ ] 3. Hillary Clinton
[ ] 4. A Republican
Note: There is only ONE right answer!
The correct answer to the poll s (2), Roger Rabbit!
YAY! GO ROGER!!! :D :D :D
Roger Rabbit has posted 80.0% of the comments in this thread. If you don’t like it — fuck you! Or, better yet, go fuck Ann Coulter. (Boy, talk about a bitch who needs to get laid in the worst way … )
4.
Unfortunately RR, the correct answer is 4.
5.
So, do you think Bill Maher just performs fellatio on “her”?
6
“Unfortunately RR, the correct answer is 4.”
Sez you. … Oh, ok, go with (4) and keep losing.
7
I doubt it, but I suspect Bill O’Reilly sucks her dildo.
her, his, her, his? what’s the diff? Ann Coulter is an “it.”
I think REI cards should be acceptable ID for voting.
Goldy, don’t do it! You’ll be sorry! You don’t want to end up like Vance. They’re keeping this hushed up, but he’ll be having transplant surgery next week.
The poor guy needs a new butt because we kicked his old butt all over the state.
Goldy,
That was good for a laugh.
And if you ask the righties in my comment threads,
The fact is every time WA gets a new GOP Chair, we think things couldn’t get any worse. But if we install you, you would put an end to that track record. So, thanks for looking out for us, Goldy!
OK Goldy, you are officially funny. My wife has tears in her eyes from laughing. As for me, I need another beer, the Seahawks won, and we are still a Blue state. Things can’t get any better.
You candidacy makes me sorry I haven’t a vote in the election.
You da man.

Voter Advocate oh I mean Dean Logan how will you get the voters to stuff the ballot box for Goldy? You know man they are program to work with one mind set. I forgot to ask when is the FED’s showing up to prove you are right and I’m wrong Dean? Dean did you forget you vote mre than once at the last election. By the way will the military ballots get out on time for their ballots return on time? You know it is cheaper to give a bottle of wine to those friends of yours in the gutter to vote than the Troops over seas. Dean = Voter Advocate you spent some quality time in Chicago and learn how to throw a real election.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Jan. 14 – Pakistan’s government on Saturday condemned a deadly American airstrike on a village in the northwestern tribal region, and a senior Pakistani security official said he was confident that Ayman al-Zawahiri, the No. 2 leader of Al Qaeda and the target of the strike, had not been in the village when it was hit.
Goldy you will have to support your troops now and not those folks in the paragraph above. Roger Rabbit will the Seattle socialist be in the streetd tomorrow supporting the folks in Pakistan?
Klake —
Wait a minute, man, Roger Rabbit is supposed to actually be Dean Logan.
Klake –

No he past the title on to your old friend Voter advocate. Besides he does a better job at presenting Dean Logan opinion.

Does this mean I’m not Dean Logan anymore?
Klake “PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Jan. 14” “Local officials in the Bajaur district, where the airstrike happened, said 18 civilians had been killed in the attack, including six children.” “Thousands of tribesmen, led by a local parliamentarian, protested the killings on Saturday, chanting anti-American and anti-government slogans in the town of Khaar, the central administrative center of Bajaur.”
Winning hearts and minds, Klake, winning hearts and minds. Democracy is on the march!

You got it Roger, Dean Logan does a better job at fooling the public and his alias is Voter Advocate. You have a broader knowledge about many subjects than Dean does. His area of expertise in very limited to counting votes and taking hits from Ron Sims. Sorry Rabbit.
Winning hearts and minds, Klake, winning hearts and minds. Democracy is on the march!
Comment by Donnageddon— 1/14/06 @ 10:21 pm
Dannageddon you got the right idea, but sometimes the best-laid plans fail due to things beyond one’s control. War is Hell, but the smart Pacific would never step out of the shadow of a Warrior. Without that Warrior, the Pacific would not survive in this dangerous world. Pacific please hold my sword while I put on my armor to defend your life and bring Pease to this world. You abandon the Warrior and he will find another person to defend and leave your own delusions.

Winning hearts and minds.. hum. Is that what you donks were trying to do during the Alioto debate. No no we were listening to swimming old farts whine, thats it. Hehehehe

Bullshit, RR is Dean Logan — I knew him before the surgery.

“sometimes the best-laid plans fail due to things beyond one’s control.”
What plans? Who needs plans? This administration shoots from the hip. If they blow up kids, so what, they were brown skinned anyway.
Goldy wont run for the donk chair since he cant cry and blubber well enough. It easy, just let the tears flow and the lip quiver and say “let every donk vote count”. Then proceed with stealing an election with the help of your cronies at KCRE.
Actually RUFUS, it is the GOP that gives lessons in crying and blubbering. Everytime one of them is caught with their pants down around their ankles and their hands in the money jar, they start publically blubbering and crying.
What a bunch of pathetic little criminal crybabies.
And Klake, don’t worry, the drugs will wear off at some point. Then you just need to learn to face reality without “Pacific” or the “warrior”.
RUFUS, nothing the Democrats said or did in the puppet theater that was the (SC) Alioto hearings would have made a damn bit of difference. We simply do not have an institutional noise machine that the Repubs built up 25 years ago. As long as the major news networks continue to simply repeat Republican National Committee talking points http://mediamatters.org/items/200601130003 picked up via right leaning bloggers, AM talk right Radio, and Fox news, we do not stand much of a chance. Your people have demonstrated a remarkable ability to frame the message.
Having said that, there is one catch: Reality bites. Upon taking office GW’s cronies started instituting a series of policies to systematically loot the Federal Government of funds while ignoring the responsibilities of his office. Given that President George Bush and his entire administration do not have a clue how to govern effectively, they have been relying on dumb luck and the ability of career government officials to essentially carry their asses the last 5 years.
A triple whammy hit in late 2005, Katrina, the war in Iraq still going strong 2 1/2 years after the mission was accomplished, and the criminal indictment and guilty pleas of top Republican officials. The puppet theater is getting stale. The American people may feel that 9/11 is just a summer rerun. They are starting to demand a new fall show.
George still has many assets available to prop him up, so sweeping reform in the Congress may not occur in the election of ’06. But my Republican brothers like Glover Norquist may yet regret asinine statements like “fixing” the Democratic Party.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....13_pf.html
Why make everyone read the whole story? Here’s Norquist:
“‘Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans,’ he told Richard Leiby of The Post. ‘Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant. But when they’ve been “fixed,” then they are happy and sedate. They are contented and cheerful.'”
I know a bunny who ain’t “fixed,” ain’t never gonna be “fixed,” and is gonna fix lying, thieving, murdering Republicans.
Great idea, Goldy! Once you arrive at this position of little-understood but significant power, it should be a snap to waltz into some position like CEO of a major insurance company. Then, that company will lay a couple of million on you to run for governor! Feel the power of the dark side!
Goldy, that’s really funny. It more than redeems your whining about not getting to first base with the Seattle City Council. You’ve got a real knack for Jonathan Swift-style modest proposals.

You had the MSM and 60 minutes since the 60’s. You guys just got caught with your pants down too many time with out right lies like memo gate and newsweek. The days of the left wing MSM setting the agenda and distorting the truth are over. There is more truth in the media now than there ever has been since the advent of TV. Nuff said.

The reason the news networks are saying that Bush has the legal authority to set wire taps is because it is true. If they were to question it then they would immediately be put on the defensive. A lot of the news networks are biased but not dumb. They are not going to put themselves in a situation that will make them look foolish.
“The reason the news networks are saying that Bush has the legal authority to set wire taps is because it is true.”
In the first place, dummy, the MSM are NOT saying Bush has this authority; and in the second place, dummy, it’s up to the courts not the media to say whether he does. God you are dumb! I’ve met rocks with more smarts than you.
You dumb ass bunny- Here is the story:
The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and the CBS Evening News reported without challenge President Bush’s January 11 assertion that he acted legally in authorizing a National Security Agency (NSA) program that, according to The New York Times, involved the electronic surveillance of persons within the United States without obtaining warrants pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). In contrast, other outlets that reported Bush’s remarks, including The New York Times and USA Today, noted that the NSA program’s legality has not been established, citing two reports — one by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the other by a former general counsel to the CIA — that questioned Bush’s legal defense of the wiretapping.
The media questions the legality of matters all the time.. especially if you are not a democrat. Shut up you dumb bunyy.
Uh Rufus,
Can you read this subversive document and tell me where rights are granted to the head of state to set wiretaps without a warrant:
Ammendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
News networks rely on the Federal government for their licenses, as well as access to official Washington. They are, more than any other form of media insitutionally inclined to be deferential to State power.
38
So you are saying it is unreasonable to listen in on phone calls to terrorist nations mentioning bombs going off? If that is unreasonable what would your definition of reasonable be?
Rufus,
No, I am not saying any such thing, and if you want the truth, I resent that you are implying that.
I am saying that when you listen to people in the United States, you FOLLOW THE LAW AND GET A WARRANT!
The FISA allows you to listen first, and ask later. FISA courts have NEVER refused a warrant to law enforcement. It isn’t a 50-50 deal like a coin toss. It isn’t even 70-30 or 80-20. It’s a sure thing. This is a system that was set up to maximize law enforcement’s effectiveness while following the law.
This very minimal oversight just seemed to be too much for this White House to deal with. I find that very telling.
(I also find it telling that Rufus narrowed in on the ambiguous “unreasonable search and seizure” and steered clear of the more concrete “no warrants shall issue” part. Fox News is banned up here in Canada. Can someone tell me if that’s on the official talking points list this week?
Then jsa your are saying that echelon run by the NSA is illegal? If you are consistant then the aswer is yes… right? Can you tell me jsa how long echelon has been existence? I can narrow it down for you buddy if you like, just let me know.
Can any of you donks tell me how long Echelon has been in existence? Maybe that is not the question I should be asking. Do any of you donks know of Echelon? Can anyone tell me when it started?
New Zogby Poll Shows Majority of Americans Support Impeaching Bush for Wiretapping
By a margin of 52% to 43%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he wiretapped American citizens without a judge’s approval, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
The poll was conducted by Zogby International, the highly-regarded non-partisan polling company. The poll interviewed 1,216 U.S. adults from January 9-12.
The poll found that 52% agreed with the statement:
“If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment.”
43% disagreed, and 6% said they didn’t know or declined to answer. The poll has a +/- 2.9% margin of error.
AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition
Yeah they have a lot of credibility.
Doofus@45 Keep whistlin’ past that graveyard.
Looks like no one want to respond to my questions on 43. Typical of liberals, full of shit like always.
RUFUS who GAF about your ‘political control’ programs? The NeoNuts have been trying to sabatoge democracy for years now. Hopefully you and your GOPP ilk’s days are numbered. Be careful, word has it that RR has developed a new potient that allows his offspring to grow at a tremendous rate and to an incredible size. Watch your back. A big bunny might just bite you on your dilapidated ass
Keep telling yourself that cougar. The leftiest lies haven’t worked on getting Bush out of office. You and the rest of the donks will have their heads in the sand come 2006 just like in 2004. Hopefully we can hand your heads to you in 2006 like we did in 1994.
DOOFUS @ 49
Keep hoping for the best DOOFUS, just like the election contest and I-912. We can’t wait to see your sorry ass fried again!
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again. The only time I do love ‘Re-runs’
45.
Yes, they do have a lot of credibility.
I’m glad we agree on something.
43.
Dear Prince of the Straw Man,
You keep attempting to move from the legality of electronic survelliance of U. S. citizens to focus on the capability of the NSA to do so.
We all know, or should know, that the intelligence agencies can spy on us. The concern is when and under who’s oversight it is done.
I just want to know which of the two Hillary Clinton’s will be running? The Conservative or the Original?
43
Echelon is not the issue. Bush’s warrantless domestic spying does not fall under Echelon.
56
Do tell Wabbit, WTF does it fall under idiot. FISA? When a donks say something is not the issue rest assured it is the issue.
48
Please shut up about that. Nobody is supposed to know about the 225-lb. baby rabbit!
Who said we were domestically spying you fucking dumb bunny. Fuck what planet do you live on.

When Clinton was president this was a concern because he was corupt. Why are you concerned now?

Hey yeah, those blowjobs were a lot more of a threat to my liberties than some dumb fuck allowing all my phone conversations to be recorded.
You dumbass.

Oh right, those secret session with Monica were a lot more of a threat to my liberties than frat-boy drunk Shrub’s letting all my phone conversations be taped.
On Mars.
LMAO, leave it to Uncle Rufus to bring this whole story line back on Clinton. What a stock answer from our TrollBates…..
I just wanted to say thank you for the laughter and tears I am experiencing after reading your blog.
We have plenty to cry about here in the heartland in Kentucky with Governor Ernie Fletcher once again aligning himself with big business in trying to make KY. a right to work state and also trying to put prevailing wage out to pasture. I am new to the blogisphere, do you know of any body here with a site as informative as yours?
Hey yeah, those blowjobs were a lot more of a threat to my liberties than some dumb fuck allowing all my phone conversations to be recorded.
You dumbass.
Dont try to change the subject by talking about Clinton’s legacy. I am talking about Clinton spying on political enemies domestically. I could care less about Bush spying on terrorists.
RUFUS, get a life! You seem like a little old man that is afraid to leave his bedroom. How is your tinfoil hat holding up? Still wearing it when you take a shower (bi weekly)?
Please. Even liberal Wasington State isn’t THAT desperate. God help you; joking aside. Hardy-har-har, as the poster child for unemploymnet and gov’t cheese recipients ROGER Rodent loves so much. Go to work-Rodent depends on you.
