2. Hey Mark- Want to know why the Republican majority tanked this time around? Take a look in the mirror. Lousy bum PCO posers like you. Thanks a lot for f*cking up our party. Get out.

3. Mark Griswold has this interesting site about Doug Parris, complete with all sorts of interesting links to public records and what-not:

http://www.whoisdougparris.com/

Griswold seems to be obsessed with the fact that Parris is behind by about $41,000 in his property tax payments -- which he also brings up in his questions to Parris on the videotape (where Griswold is also posing as a 43rd LD PCO, in spite of his recent move to Redmond).

However, Griswold's website (see Part II -- Citizen Parris) also indicates that Parris' four pieces of real property (three in King, one in Snohomish) have total assessed values for 2006 of something like $1,193,100. Given that 2006 values were computed on 2003 and 2004 sales, Parris' real estate holdings are probably worth $1.6 to $1.8 million in today's market.

Griswold criticizes Parris for his personal financial problems, alleging that this will somehow make Parris unable to raise money for the King County Republican Party if he is elected.

If personal financial stability is a criteria for selecting King County GOP leadership, what about incumbent Chair Michael E. Young's personal financial situation? Does Young own any real property? Voter registration records show that he lives in a rented apartment -- and has been in King County since at least September 1988. King County real estate records do not show him ever buying, selling or mortgaging real property, as far as I can tell.

I certainly cannot condone Parris failing to pay his real estate taxes. Certainly the interest (12% per annum) and penalty (extra charges, in addition to interest) probably cost more than taking out a mortgage to cover the taxes would have been. But Parris does seem to have accomplished more in his life -- at least financially -- than Young has done.

4. Michael Young is incredibly incompetent in managing the financial affairs of the King County GOP. There was an expose on Horse's Ass back on September 18, 2006, where Young had been as much as 61 days late in filing the monthly C4 reports with the Public Disclosure Commission in the earlier part of the year.

http://www.horsesass.org/?p=2006

Young had also made some really stupid errors on the C4 reports before the primary, which resulted in the PDC reports showing a negative cash balance (i.e. overdraft) of some -$24,218, when in fact the King County GOP bank account (fortunately) showed a positive balance.

Now, I have looked at the PDC reports for myself, and have discovered additioned reporting improprieties by Young. Young failed to timely report tens of thousands (maybe close to $100,000 -- I will figure this out later) in bank deposits and contributions to the PDC.

State law requires that a C3 report be completed for each bank deposit, listing the name, address and amount of each contributor making up the bank deposit. This C3 report needs to be filed by the 10th of the next month for deposits made up until June 30, and by the following Monday for deposits made from July 1 to election day.

One of these C3 reports was filed 267 days late! The King County GOP received a $5,100.00 contribution from Thomas Bernard on January 3, 2006 and deposited it on that same day. The C3 report should have been filed with the monthly C4 report on February 10, 2006, but instead was filed 267 days late on November 5, 2006.

There are a lot of egregious violations of PDC laws and rules by Michael Young. This could cost the party thousands of dollars in fines -- just like happened to the state Democrats in previous election cycles.

Michael Young needs to go. Hopefully, there are other candidates for this position besides Doug Parris.

5. Wow Richard! Aren't you smart! You found out I've moved to the Eastside (something I've never denied and I'm already registered to vote in that precinct. I even voted for you (had to hold my nose on that one and now regret it). And yes, there is someone else in my precinct. That doesn't preclude me from attending meetings in other LDs.

And thanks for letting me know that I created WhoIsDougParris.com! I had been wondering who created it. It's could to finally find out it was me. Not sure when I had the time to create it though, what with being busy doing ACTUAL CAMPAIGNING FOR OUR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES!

And also in response to posting #3 I didn't realize that being a successful futures trader was less of an accomplishment than being a slum lord. Good to know the ranking of those two jobs.

What else can I point out? The fact that you don't even seem to know enough about KCGOP politics to know that Doug isn't running against Michael. He's running for second vice-chair, which had been held by John Wootress. No worries there though, as you can tell from the video, he doesn't realize that's the position he's running for either. He seems to think he's running against Lori Sotelo.

Oh, and nice post about the horsesass.org posting. It's nice to know that you get information about the KCGOP from the liberal democrat bloggers. Actually that's not correct, is it? You give false information to the liberal democrat bloggers then have them post it then pretend you got that information from a different source. You're worse than a New York Times reporter! No surprise though. After all, out of all of us you're the REAL RINO, aren't you? You ran against Norm Maleng under the Democrat ticket in 1998. Whoops! Looks like I can pull PDC reports as well. Damn, hate when that happens.

As for you, ERNurse, what an elequent posting. You're obviously not too bright when you toss around the f word. You're just a like a liberal democrat blogger. And as for you thinking that I'm the reason we lost so many races this year well, how much volunteering did you do? How much money did you give to our Republican candidates? Maybe you did some and I'd commend you on that but I'll bet you $10,000 (to quote Doug) that I did more work for our candidates this year than you did. I mean, I sure didn't see you at any phonebanks or kickoffs. (I do approve of you favorite movie and music though, so maybe there is still some hope for you.)
But seriously, I'll give some thought to leaving "your" Republican party, the day after Ruth Gibbs gets elected KCGOP chairwoman... Now excuse me while I go off and laugh uncontrollably at that thought because, as I always say, "Good luck with that! Everybody's gotta have a dream."

And now... bring it on Reagan Wing Nutbars! (Seriously, it keeps me sharp. But now I'd like to hear from the other three horsemen of the apocolypse: Doug, Brian and Phil. Please guys? It's always so fun to read what you have to say about me. It's really quite an honor that I'm able to draw so much ire from you folks. :-).

6. Gee Mark -- if the Young-Sotelo administration manages to get re-elected, maybe they can appoint you to be Treasurer of the King County GOP, to replace George Tamman. That would be like going from the frying pan into the fire.

You did such a WONDERFUL job as Treasurer (and Campaign Manager) for Nancy Potts, who managed to win nearly 1/3 of the vote running against Ross Hunter in the 48th LD. By far, a record-breaking (lowest) percentage ever obtained by a Republican candidate in the 48th LD.

Your PDC filing compliance as Treasurer of the Potts campaign is absolutely (not) wonderful. The law requires filing reports 21 days and 7 days before each of the primary and general elections (reporting activity 28 days and 8 days, respectively, before each election).

You did manage to file the 21 day pre-primary report for the Potts campaign. That report was due on August 29, 2006, and you filed it two days late on August 31, 2006. Better late than never -- and two days is usually excusable by the PDC. At least you got it filed.

But then you took a nice long vacation from your duties as the Potts Treasurer. No PDC reports have been filed since August 31, 2006. You didn't file the 7-day pre-primary due on September 12, 2006. You didn't file the 21-day pre-general due on October 17, 2006. You didn't file the 7-day pre-general due on October 31, 2006.

So if the Young-Sotelo administration gets re-elected, they should definitely appoint you to be Treasurer of the King County GOP. I am sure you will do as good of a job in this new position as you did in the Nancy Potts campaign.

7. Why doesn't Pope run for king county Chair? HA! He's run for everything else. Maybe he can bring his money managing experience from a campaign listed by the PDC as -$3800 in the hole or he could teach us how to win elections.

The only thing more funny than Chairman Pope is Doug Parris in any position of leadership, with his inspired background in tax evasion.

You nutwingers think you are such big thinkers. What do you do for the party? It takes more than big thoughts to make things happen. You lecture and preach from the comfort of your backside, while others are doing the work you are so quick to criticize. Give us a break.

Posted by: Doug Parris on November 25, 2006 12:20 AM

9. I am a republican volunteer who spent my spare time knocking on doors and making telephone calls for republican candidates in the election. I also stuffed envelopes and made signs. Where were you? Telling everyone how messed up they were. I asked the campaigns I worked with about you.

I also read sound politics every day and see postings by you. Lots of opinions, no action. Are you too good to get your fingernails dirty like the rest of us volunteers who want to make a difference for republicans? People like you just like hear yourselves talk. Blah, blah, blah. Give us a break.

Posted by: AliciaCR on November 25, 2006 11:46 AM

10. Alicia CR,
1. I repeat, who are you? You can claim anything you want when it cannot be verified. You cannot demand, simultaneously, to be judged by actions when you hide behind an anonymity that renders your claims unbelievable. I could post under a phony name, too, and say I doorbelled 200 houses a day four days a week for ten years.
2. What candidates did you work for and what, specifically, did they say about me? It is not surprising that you want to quote "unnamed sources."
3. Do you consider phone or doorbell canvassing and sign construction morally superior to publishing, public speaking, literature and speech writing and strategic planning? Are the people that do that sort of thing the bourgoisie? Are you the oppressed proletariat?
4. Did the candidates you claim to have worked for spend their time tacking signs together? If so, did they win?

Posted by: Doug Parris on November 26, 2006 03:21 AM

11. Doug Parris,

But you didn't knock on doors or telephone or anything constructive, did you?

Publishing, Public Speaking, Strategic Planning-so, that's what YOU call it.

Keep posting, you make my point for me.

Alicia

12. I resent Doug Parris wrapping himself in the Reagan mantle. I've heard Doug speak and am quite sure he wants some kind of litmus test of conservatives and Republicans. Kind of like wanting to know the exact number of angels that can fit on a pin's head.

Posted by: Johnh425 on November 27, 2006 01:31 PM

13. "AliciaCR" (phony name) at 11: Your claim is that all I do is "talk." (That is to say, communicate with words. Obviously, you include writing in that charge.) Your idea is that if I contact, say, 6000 people with a detailed, written message, it is not as good as you handing out, say, 100 flyers with a considerably truncated message on a campaign flyer at someone's front door (assuming, of course, that you've done any of that, which, since you are afraid to identify yourself, is doubtful). Upon what basis do you conclude that? How is your impact greater than mine? Is this information from focus groups? Do give us the links. Are you claiming to have spent more time on politics than me or worked harder? Care to put your money where your mouth is? What about your signs? I write an article of between 500 and 2000 words that goes in-depth on issues and it gets read by thousands of people and you put up a few (perhaps dozen) that only say (legibly from the passing cars) two words: the candidate's name.
But wait! I thought words were just talk. I thought just communicating in words was the "blah-blah-blah" that accomplishes nothing. When you doorbelled did you just "talk" to the people or did you actually DO something? Did you mow their lawn? Did you offer to wash their dishes? Did you only hand out some flyer with "blah-blah-blah" on it? How about your phoning? Did you just talk or did you actually DO something? HMMM?
How about your candidates? Were their campaigns just filled with "blah-blah-blah" or did they actually go out and, say, incarcerate illegal aliens or obstruct abortion mills or break down the doors on meth labs? HMMMM?

14. The only litmus tests in this county have been Michael Young's appointments. Young's clear preference is for Pro-abortion, Gay Rights lefties:
Ann Adams
Valerie Huntsberry
Fawn Spady
Mark Griswold
Lori Sotelo
Terry Thomas
and the same holds true for his choice of County Council Candidates. Dunn over Hammond, Von Reichbauer over Fortunato, and Marxist Gossett over Thomas

15. Well folks, I've returned from Chicago (where it was 60 degrees!) and am ready to join in the fray once again.

Richard, I really wouldn't talk. Period. Seriously, you should just have your mouth surgically sealed. It would probably do wonders in cutting down on the number of citations you receive from the KCBA. It might even help your chances in getting elected, "Mr. 9 times" (sound of Jeffery Jones in Ferris Bueller's Day off echoes in background).

Doug,
I don't even know where to begin. You're such a hypocritical, self-righteous, lying, tax-cheat. Nothing you said above is true. Really, did you break down any Meth Labs? I'm pretty sure you didn't. In fact, you probably ingest the stuff and that's why you're so incoherent yourself. Seriously, name me one, just ONE, elected official in King County that you don't consider a RINO (and PCOs don't count as elected officials for this exercise). (Sound of Jeopardy Theme plays in background).

And to anyone reading this post, my response to allegations that I am not a 43rd district PCO. Absolutely correct! I was elected in September but transefered my voter registration to the 45th in October. I will not be voting on December 2nd nor did I ever plan to. My attendance at last weeks meeting was strickly for my own amusement. My apologies for my misstatement on the tape.

Posted by: FullContactPolitics on November 28, 2006 02:03 PM

16. Oh, and I almost forgot, Richard, again, don't talk about things you don't know anything about (which is probably the fast majority of things). The reason I didn't file any PDC reports for the Nancy Potts campaign after June is because there was no reason too. The Potts campaign closed down operations due to personal issues. We made a last minute decision to keep her name on the ballot. (This would also explain the reason she only received a 1/3 of the vote. Not too shabby considering there was no campaign. You campaigned your but off and only got 10% more. So again, just stop talking. Or don't. But realize that every time you open your pie-hole you show how stupid you are.

17. Candidate Questions
Seattle PI: Should Washington recognize gay marriage and/or same-sex civil unions?

FullContactPolitics (Mark Griswold): "Gay marriage should be legal. How two people of the same gender getting married threatens "tradition" marriage is beyond me. If anything, the bounds of legal matrimony should strengthen society. This is not to say that churches should be forced now to marry same-sex couples. That would be as big a violation of the separation of church and state as the current arguments I hear against gay marriage. Civil unions create a "separate but equal" status, which has proven not to work and therefore are not adequate enough to address the issue."

Posted by: Doug Parris on November 29, 2006 11:12 AM

18. Doug, thanks for bringing up something I said in 2004. As you know, my views on that matter have changed slightly. While I still support civil unions I do not, now, support gay marriage. And civil unions, to me, are nothing more than a legal contract between two people. One point does still stand. I still don't understand how two guys getting hitched threatens the matrimonial union of a man and a woman. I'm secure enough in my sexuality and love of the opposite sex not to be threatened by that. Are you? Perhaps you should remove the log from your own eye before you point out the speck in your neighbors. Just a little advice from a buddy of mine named J.C.

Fiscal conservative, are we? A "right" is not an "opportunity" it is something protected or produced by government.

Posted by: Doug Parris on November 29, 2006 11:46 AM

21. Doug, I'm glad to see you have so much spare time on your hands that you can go back into blog archives from two years ago. Maybe you should consider getting a second job so you can pay off some of those back taxes.
As far as me being pro-abortion. Andy is a good friend of mine. When the above post was posted though I had just met him and he probably mistook something I said. I was not then, nor am I now, pro-abortion, pro-choice or any other synonym you want to toss around, unless of course your definition of pro-abortion means that I don't openly advocate blowing up abortion clinics or decapitating women who are currently making that choice. But while we're on the subject, Doug, I should point out that God is actually pro-choice. He gives us the choice to worship Him or not. He gives those women the choice to kill their unborn fetus or not. That final decision is between them and God. But just so there is no confusion about what I'm saying, I'm not advocating abortion rights. I'm just saying there's a better way of addressing this problem. We need to change the hearts and minds of these people. Not hold them accountable at the point of a pitch fork. That's what they did in the middle ages and I don't think anyone is advocating a return to the middle ages (except for maybe you).
And I certainly don't advocate an abortion-rights litmus test for our Republican candidates. Remember what Reagan said (I know you don't pay attention to a lot of it, you just enjoy throwing his name around like it's the butt of some party joke). "If I agree with you 80% and disagree with you 20% then I'm 80% your friend, not 20% your enemy." And who knows, Doug? Maybe one day you and I could be 80% friends instead of 20% enemies.

22. My last comment was "held" by the "blog owner."
I wonder why?

Posted by: Doug Parris on November 29, 2006 12:08 PM

23. Yes Doug, everyone should have the right to affordable healthcare. But did I say who should be paying for it? I support health savings accounts for all (paid for by the individual) and tax credits for those who are unable to afford the minimum cost of said HSAs. It behooves society if every citizen has a minimum level of healthcare. When there are people getting sick then that can spread and make more people sick. Just like the black-plague. But then I forgot. You'd love for us to go back to the middle ages.

Anything else you want to point out that makes me not a "Real Republican?" I'll help you out.

I think I made some statement about advocating for transportation improvements "no matter what the cost". Again, did I say who should pay for it? No. I think government should give contracts to companies that then build the roads and have to recoop the costs however they see fit. That's how they build the freeway systems in Florida and a lot of other states. What we're doing now sure as hell isn't working. Then again, I guess you'd only be happy if we went back to horse and wagon. Middle ages, after all.

The more you talk the stupider you make yourself look. Just like Phil Spackman, Brian Thomas and Richard Pope (aka, the 4 horsemen of the apacolypse).

Posted by: FullContactPolitics on November 29, 2006 12:18 PM

25. Griswold, in 15, above, claimed "Nothing you said above is true." But one of the things i said was that Griswold, himself, was appointed by Michael Young because he was a "pro-abortion, Gay Rights leftie" and I can prove that beyond reasonable doubt. Mark now claims he was not Pro-abortion, and that "any impression that he was" was created by everyone who interviewed him on the subject, including the major newspapers. Well, Mark, you are not the point. The point is that these poor "misguided" people who SUPPORT abortion somehow stumbled into the impression that you did, too, and published it about you (glowingly). That point is that it was in the wake of that "confusion" that MICHAEL YOUNG appointed you to his administration along with others that "actually" believed the same things you only "aparently" believed (according to everyone who interviewed you at the time).
This documentation has not taken me a long time to do, at all. I have a lot more. We have been aware from the very beginning that there was a campaign by Michael Young and Lori Sotelo to turn the Republican Party in King County into a mirror image of the Democrat Party. SO WE DOCUMENTED IT. We have a wealth of material (not enough time to publish before Saturday) proving the point.
You made the claim, in post 15, about me that "Nothing you said above is true." That, itself, is a demonstrable lie. This is over and above your vulgar viciousness. You're right. I have much better things to do with my time, but when someone is slandering me, as you are doing, as is your stock-in-trade, it is hard not to respond. Particularly when I have proof.

Posted by: Doug Parris on November 29, 2006 12:35 PM

27. Yes Doug, you do look stupid (except when you're wearing that sharp turtleneck, then you just sound stupid). Why? Because you don't understand something called sarcasm. But I don't fault you. I fault the public school system. They obvisouly didn't teach you the nuances of sarcasm back in 8th grade.
As far as you proving "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Michael appointed me chair, well, I can do that too. The earth is flat. The whole world is controlled by Masons and Illumanti. Rons Sims is an alien. Lori Sotelo eats babies for breakfast. I said it therefore it's true because I said so.
As for slander, I don't need to do that because you do a pretty good job of slandering yourself. So go ahead and sue me for slander, Doug. You'll also have to sue the King County Tax Assessor for maliciously accusing you of not paying your taxes.
See you Saturday : )
