If this stuffed-shirt elitist from Seattle thinks that Eastern Washington (or Eastern Oregon) are going to secceed with the leftists, then he's been smokin' too much weed.

And he can count out all that beer as a national product. Can't make beer without hops and grain from E. WA. Same with apples, cherries, plums, etc. And maybe he should buy a few candles because E. WA won't be sending any electricity from those hydro dams either.

So good luck, Cascadia (and take the Willamette Valley with you, okay?)

Oh and to the people of Washington, Before discussing who's side god is on you should check the Volcano in your back yard. It appears to be percolating lately :)

Actually, we have a lot of volcanoes in our back yard. You just think that we have only one because it's the only one that has blown up recently... :-)

The "most educated" city in the country managed to chase Boeing out of town and has some of the highest unemployment in the country.

This is just more over inflated ego driven crap from Seattle. Tell me, would you put your glorious congressman in charge and normalize relations with North Korea?

If three hurricanes in a row slamming into Florida right before the 2004 election isn't a clear sign from the Almighty that he wasn't pleased with how things went in that state in 2000, I don't know what is.

Ummm... how is this brainy-lefty sure that God isn't trying to get the Florida Supreme Court's attention?

"Listen up! No more funny stuff!"

Entertaining words - I say take Oregon with you - and it would be interesting to know the exact number of states that would "leave" under a Hillary presidency - :)

This is conjecture and one can go all over with this type of thinking:

If you look at the political map - most of the border states of America go for Socialists Democrats - they gather and spread, much as an invading virus -

With the border states under seizure - (controlling shipping and a whole lot more) - they can then advance into areas(any)that make their march go faster(into strategic locations, etc.) - and on and on and on -

Ah, the fun of what might have been - or - what could be -

I believe this is correct but the wrong conclusion has been drawn by the stupid left. Almost every hurricane that strikes the US hits the coast between Texas and Virginia. EVERY one of those states voted for Bush in 2000 but Florida just barely got it right. I think the Lord is telling them to do better this time!!

Oh, the humanity!

Put Jay Inslee in charge? (1st District of Washington.)

Perish the thought.

I think Hawaii would secede before Washington. However, as to a new name, I think "The Fun Republic of Chuckles" would work well.

And if Washingtonians are so intelligent, why did it take them two decades to solve the Green River killings?

You forgot to add, "and then let the SOB live."

And it's worse than that. The guy that took two decades to solve the Green River killings is the Republican nominee to the House to replace Jennifer Dunn in the 8th district.

This is indeed a liberal hell-hole, but you have to remember that we are talking about Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett, and NOT the rest of the state.

My POV on this comes from the Good Book itself:

"...so that you may be sons of your Father which is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust." Matthew 5:45.

Some days he just sends more rain than others. :)

Can somebody explain to me why the big cities (esp. coastal) attract so many fruits and nuts? Do they go there just so they can sin in anonymity?

No problem: use hops from Germany and Britain, and get the grain from New Zealand. We're covered.

Last couple of polls I've seen show Kerry up by 2 - 5 %m here in WA. Given that Seattle metro area is so heavily Kerry that must mean that almost every other voter in the state is for Bush.

These numbers must be scaring the heck out of the Dems.

The foaming at the mouth lefties I work with have been nearly silent since the Republican Convention. Not a word about CBS/Rather, not a word about Allawi (sp).

One of 'em did ask yesterday what I thought about nethercutt/murray, I said I thought it would be close but given that murray is sucha weak senator, that Nethercutt could do it.

Anyone seen any numbers for Gregoire/Rossi?

"President Bush can't stop us from seceding."

Wonder what makes this bozo think he'd try?

I don't think Washington state should go just Seattle. I f they don't go voluntarily we can throw them out. Also Portland and San Francisco could be the linchpins of the new country up and down the coast.
