Huckabee available to mentor Obama?
http://thevaluesvoter.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F3D4C1BC1D8B0D91!652.entry I sort of heard through the grapevine that Barack Obama might be in the market for a new spiritual mentor. Maybe Obama would benefit a lot from giving Governor and former Pastor Mike Huckabee a call. Mike doesn't have a church anymore, since he left the ministry long ago to become a state Governor for 10 1/2 years. But he's still very spiritual. And Barack might really benefit from a chat with him. On the one hand... More at... [read more]

Big Money, Big Al, Global Warming!
The Western Climate Initiative Fraud! Have you ever heard of the Western Climate Initiative? It's called the WWI and consists of a number of government officials from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, California, British Columbia and Manitoba. They are meeting to destroy jobs, wipe out the economy of the west, put an end to inexpensive power generation and all in the name of Carbon Sequestering! Their first big meeting will be held in Salt Lake City on 5/21.... [read more]

Today's SCOTUS Voter Fraud ruling is a victory for common sense, and a slap in Obama's face
I blogged about this this morning, but the real scope of the ruling is just now being fleshed out, and a few things have occurred to me. First of all, as I said earlier, this is a complete victory for common sense.  It just makes simple sense that if voting is the precious right and responsibility we think it is, it should be protected and cherished, and one facet of that is to ensure that only those eligible are allowed...

Local Newspapers in the TANK?
Seattle Times Circulation took a major profit dive as its Sunday money maker continued to lose readership. The Times' weekday circulation grew only 1,141 -- 0.5 percent -- to 220,863. Average circulation for the combined PI/Times Sunday paper, however, nose dived some 14,403 -- 3.4 percent -- to 409,231; all of this in the face of the influx of population in the King and Snohomish County Areas. Today's circulation report is the first since the publishers of the PI and... [read more]

Help Washington State Vets
Support Veterans Benefits Enhancements, but don't fund by shortcutting other Veterans Yesterday, the US Senate passed S. 1315, Veterans Benefits Enhancement Act of 2007. The American Legion is very supportive of each of these provisions; however, The American Legion is adamantly opposed to how Congress plans to pay for these enhanced benefits under the current PAYGO rules - by repealing Hartness v. Nicholson. In Hartness v. Nicholson, a veteran appealed a May 5, 2004, decision of the Board of... [read more]

A preview of the WA state GOP convention?
The Nevada State GOP this weekend held its nominating convetion for president. The state leadership expected the convention delegates to rubber stamp the pre-chosen slate of delegates for the national convention. By a vote of over 700-400 the delegates said heck no! The state leadership seeing that they were not going to be able to ram through their pre chosen McCain delegates then chose to screw over all the delegates by calling for recess denying the delegates a chance to...

Snohomish County Political News!
You think you are suffering in King County? You should have our arrogant young monster as County Executive: Aaron Reardon! Boss Reardon, Snohomish County's own copy of Boss Sims, has gone over the line and abandoned his phony image as the personification of a typical 'Henry Jackson moderate Democrat' in order to embrace his own 'cult of personality'. Word has it that Boss Reardon has been in a very testy mood lately after he received word that Congressman Rick Larsen... [read more]

Democrats Obama Dilemma
Before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright brouhaha, Barack Obama was not a black man. He was the new JFK. Unlike Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, he transcended race. He won an upset victory in mostly white Iowa. His mother was white but his father was born and raised in Kenya. Yet because he was not the product of over 200 years of African-American slavery, those who could trace their ancestry to the plantation did not embrace him. Then came the exposé... [read more]

HOT (Hampering Our Travel) Lane Prediction
As the WA DOT prepares to open the new HOT lanes on SR167 between Renton & Auburn, I am not convinced that this project will do anything significant to improve traffic flow. Further, I believe that those who now use the HOV lane will see both their commute times and frustration levels rise. Besides the Politically Correct and currently Politically Expedient views of tolling, there are technical & traffic flow issues that will cause this follied adventure much grief. Consider...

Pennsylvania Road Kill? Which one leaves embittered?
This from TownHall.com's Suzanne Fields: Hillary Clinton has been left for dead by most of the pundits, many of whom more or less openly yearn for consummation of their passionate love affair with Barack Obama. These pundits look to each other for constant reassurance. They didn't get it Tuesday night in Pennsylvania. Hillary may indeed be doomed, but her question, asked even before her remarkable Pennsylvania victory, haunts Democrats from coast to coast: "Why can't he close the deal?... [read more]

Ron Ewart (NARLO) to Ruth Gibbs
Among the myriad falsehoods, fabrications and distortions spread by Ruth Gibbs in her 9,607 word attack on me (Doug Parris) and 25-40% of the active members of the Republican Party for supporting Ron Paul, she attacked one of the most articulate defenders of freedom and our Constitution in Washington State. I am not exaggerating when I say that the future success of the Republican Party in Washington State depends on our ability to assimilate the small government conservatives that... [read more]

The Mainstream Media creates a lot of problems for itself. Just look at the media fawning we've seen for Senator Obama over the past six months or so. There's not a single rational person who doesn't see the obvious bias and agenda driven reporting for Obama that goes far beyond any pretense of journalism. Now we expect this kind of thing from activist bloggers like those at HorsesAss who shill for Darcy Burner. There's no pretense of objectivity, and such... [read more]

Question for Democrats: Why have superdelegates?
Here is a question to all the Democrat voters out there: Why have Superdelegates? It appears to me that the entire Primary process is riding on these superdelegate votes seeing as neither Sen. Obama or Sen. Clinton looks to be able to secure the nomination with just the remaining Primary contests. Sure Sen. Obama is in the lead, but I am sure that Sen. Clinton is still working behind the scenes to ensure the Florida and Michigan Delgates are seated... [read more]

Assisting others to die
This November the voters of the great state of Washington will vote on whether the government will lift its restriction on assisting others to kill themselves. Initiative 1000 is titled "Death with Dignity", its opponents have opposed such language instead opting for 'physician assisted suicide'. I see two important aspects of this intiative. 1. Will it pass? This is where the semantics of the title will be much more important than it really should be. In general people are for... [read more]

Atty. Gen. Rob McKenna Likes Playing Doctor
Attorney General Rob McKenna isn't a physician. When it comes to medicine, he is no more qualified than any other layman.

Libertarian Party of WA Convention 4/19/08
Yesterday, I attended the LP WA convention at Titlow Lodge in Tacoma. There were about 40 attendees, and five presidential candidates. The event was covered by Tacoma public access TV.

The business meeting was pretty uncontroversial, with the convention delegating candidate vetting and National Convention delegate selection to the Executive Committee. The LPWA gets 33 delegates to the national convention, and many signed up to go to Denver at the end of May. We... [read more]

Hillary's Real Strategy
Ariana Huffington frets over Hillary's tactics after allowing someone to post off-the-cuff remarks made by Barack Obama.

Socialized Medicine? Americans are not that dumb.
A new Rasmussen Poll shows why Democrats are making a gross miscalculation on bringing socialized medicine to Presidential Politics.

One of the most ugly features is how the politicians switch facts around to protect their argument.  They determine a conclusion that fits their needs, and then find the facts that support their conclusion, almost an intellectual reverse engineering. It's not all that hard, we teach it in every school that has a debate team.  You are assigned a topic, and have to develop an... [read more]
