A candidate for state office in the great state of Washington appears headed for defeat even before the first absentee ballots are mailed in. (This is my first post on FreeRepublic, by the way, so bear with me if I make a few errors.)
David Blomstrom is a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction who issued a press release calling for the "legal or quasi-legal" execution of President George W. Bush. It was discussed in this thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1168765/posts
Apparently, his actions were legal, as his sites are still online. But the website may outlive Blomstrom. Check his campaign website, at http://www.edrevolt.org/:
"EMERGENCY: My name won't appear on the ballot unless I raise $1,017 for my filing fee and deliver it to Olympia by July 30! Please give me an opportunity to inject some fire into an otherwise hopeless campaign by making a contribution and urging your friends to chip in. See my Support page for more details."
Can you believe that? This nutjob lives in liberal Seattle, and he can't even find any support there! If he hasn't raised $1,000 by now, he certainly isn't going to do it in the next three days.
How hard can it be to raise a lousy $1,000? If you could find just 100 liberals who cared enough to donate $10 each, you'd have it made. There's just one problem: LIBERALS DON'T CARE.
The significance of this extends far beyond this particular candidate. No matter how twisted his ideas, no matter how disgusting his lack of patriotism, you have to admit this guy has guts. He has also obviously put a lot of work into his cause. Check out all his websites. You could spend days reading his material! This man could be a serious threat if his fellow liberals supported him.
But they don't. In fact, liberals are ignoring him, preferring to throw millions of dollars at corrupt candidates who offer nothing but rhetoric. I read somewhere on one of his sites that Blomstrom was banned from Democratic Underground!
I saw a post promoting Blomstrom on Democratic Underground's Washington State forum at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=184 but it has been removed. They're eating their own!
Therefore, I nominate David Blomstrom as the Ralph Nader of Washington State. He won't divert any votes, because his name won't even be on the ballot, but he can be likened to the proverbial canary in a coal mine. Blomstrom's courage (or recklessness) stands in stark contrast to liberal voters who prefer gazillionaires like John Kerry to grassroots activists.
I also think we should thank Democratic Underground for censoring David Blomstrom. If we say PLEASE, we could probably get Democratic Underground to endorse George W. Bush.
Oops, I forgot - most ilberals aren't going to vote anyway so why bother? :)
He was a returning troll and was banned by Jim.
That is something I hadn't thought of so I'll just siddown and shaddup now.
Anchors Aweigh, Chief.
**Was it? Sure he got banned, but was it because he really was a troll or because a bunch of "busy bodies" (as justshutupandtakeit called them) hit abuse enough times the mods got tired of it and got rid of him**
Just for the record, I have never used the abuse tag... I deal with them with posts, or I just go away
as I just posted, I have never hit the abuse button...
(tell you the truth.. I never noticed it hehehehe:)
**Nobody effs with the moms!!!**
one of my favorite movie lines from Mommie Dearest..
DONT F**K WITH ME FELLAS

Had to come back over here, I was on the convention live thread and couldn't stand it.
Guy posts an interesting article and gets a buncha crap from busybodies about it.
Perhaps you missed the repeated requests by Jim Rob (the owner of this site) and the Moderators to adhere to the posting guidelines.
Way too many duplicates and vanities. Please read - again. (Welcome Newbies)
It is a good thread with lots of helpful hints and some good links.
For some insight into Jim's opinion about what should and shouldn't be posted, click on this link: Help & Guidelines, including posting rules
Jack Savage either didn't read the guidelines or he chose to ignore them. The "busybodies" were right this time.
I see no guidelines that he ignored unless it is the one prohibiting one from using different names.
