Comments are back on
Comments are back on. We've been using MT-Blacklist for several months and it's done reasonably well. Last night we had an unprecedented and overwhelming flood of comment spam that brought the server to its knees. The only solution seemed to be to completely disable comments for a while. I hope I won't have to do that again.

1. What is comment spam?
2. Wow...Reading through previous comments, I'm struck with how awesomely correct republicans are and how misreably deficient democrats are. Really sad that all democrats are so weak (evidently they steal, cheat, and lie) while republicans are above all wrongdoing and are victims of evil democrats.
Except in Texas, I guess, where I see the Republican does all the bad stuff that the democrats are accused of here (lying, stealing, cheating).
Weird, eh?

Don't forget whine...
5. Nikita, I saw that item last night on LGF. Cheating is ingrained in the gotterdammercrats that Kos blatantly encourages his readers to cheat to pump up the vote for Daily Kos. And then they wonder why the rest of us are so suspicious of their recount motives.
6. speaking of democrat cheating,I just heard for the first time yesterday on Republican Radio that a republican observer caught at least two instances of ballot counters trying to change a Dino vote into a Gregoire vote. All this within just a few hours!! Apparently this happened a couple weeks back. Why hasn't this been broadcast widely??? Where is the media???? And are these cheaters STILL on the payroll down at the ever-more-suspicious King County elections office???
7. Michele,
I heard that too. Who are they gonna call? Ghost busters? Have you ever met a democrat with any integrity?
We were going to buy property over on Hood canal. If cg manipulates and thieves this election, we are heading to Idaho. The dems can steal the elections and the state, but they won't have access to our cash, if we can help it.
8. If every one of the citizens that voted for Rossi (1,372,484) spent just $100 of their Christmas dollars somewhere OUTSIDE the formerly great state of Washington, we could deny the party in power about $9,600,000 in sales tax (average sales tax of 7% just to the state and not including local taxes). It's time to talk and WALK with our wallets.
9. Cheryl - What a great idea! Perhaps we should wait to buy ANY Christmas gifts until GOV. Rossi is once again certified. What is that December 23rd - when the recount is done? Just think of the bargains anyway. If the election is stolen, I think we can figure out additional painful boycotts. I'm starting right now by not buying ANYTHING in King County - after all Snohomish and Pierce are ever so close!
10. Cheryl might live in Clark County or Spokane County....with Oregon & Idaho right across the lines....King County isn't the only county in this state believe it or not!
11. NOPE! Cheryl lives in unincorporated South King County. It's a mere 3 hours down to Portland, a bit over 4 hours up to Vancouver and the entire world is at my (and YOUR) fingertips here on the computer.
I've written to every Democrat in our legislature about this amoral debacle the dems are putting us through. So far the only responses I've gotten are smarmy, smug and arrogant. Walking away with my discretionary dollars is how I choose to remind this corrupt democrat controlled government that they get their paychecks from MY tax dallars, that they work for me and I am withdrawing my support.
12. Cheryl, you say "I've written to every Democrat in our legislature about this amoral debacle the dems are putting us through."
Amoral debacle?
It's the law. As Michael Medved consistently reminds us, following the law is mandatory for our system of government to work.
The laws are in need of change....perhaps your means will do that...but calling people who follow the law putting us through an "amoral debacle" will not help moving things forward.
Hard to imagine you'd agree that following laws that benefit you somehow would be "amoral" even if others feel that way.
13. Watching cg use an outdated old law that was written prior to the technological advances currently in place, so that her count can be determined by pre-historic means, in the hope that possibly - a backwards count can be to her advantage - I think that is safe to call "amoral".
14. Something most certainly can be both legal AND amoral - abortion immediately comes to mind, as does the death penalty. (See? One for each side of the political spectrum!)
Recounting the vote sure is absolutely legal, but repeatedly recounting it and suing to change the rules, not because of fraud or other election irregularity, but because you don't like the outcome is morally bankrupt.
15. There's an AP report on the KING 5 website with Sam Reed quoted as saying that in most cases the counties simply recount the ballots -- "However, in our rules we point out that the canvassing boards have the prerogative to take up and re-examine any problem ballots that have come to their attention...and we are giving them the word that the Washington state Supreme Court will take up the Democrats' case on Thursday. But at this point, we are not authorizing them to go back and start all over again."
What's going on here? Anything beyond determining the voter's intent?
16. Cheryl.....right on with your remarks...
I've already stated somewhere that I will never consider CG my governor...and if she does manage to steal the election, I just consider myself a person without a country, or state....I do not matter at all, either do most of the people in Washington, just the sacred few King Co residents who apparently hold all the purse strings...
Being from Eastern Washington, I feel we are doubly disenfranchised....no money for anything to help our bottom line here..no stadiums, no ferry systems, we can't even get an arterial built from North to South in a timely fashion...
Two Washingtons are emerging....the rich King Co and the rest of us...
What is so ironic about this CG stuff is she was supposed to be this honest person being the Attorney General and all.....yet, how can she look anyone straight in the face and say she is the winner, when she knows all the shenanigans going on...
Sad....
