Logan said he restricted access to protect voters' privacy and avoid distracting workers.
Ha! Voter Privacy! What do you call taking a marker and writing on someone elses ballot? I call it Fraud! You, Mr.Logan, call it the "Democratic Process".
Outrage is secondary to political power to them IMO. I doubt they have the foresight (or even care) to envision the statewide political damage they'll bring upon themselves if they push forward. The Rats are only going to be able to hedge their bets on King County for so long. If they pull this recount crap it'll blow up on them next time around somehow. They may win King Co. time and again but that will serve to isolate them. Let the bastards keep it up. I doubt they'll learn anything
LOL, I forgot about that.
even my local Spokane media are all aghast that a Republican is the winner...they can't even say he won...all they are saying is that its still a toss up and its Gregoire this and Gregoire that....I am not exaggerating....
the Rats will try to pull this off...
I wonder if after they selectively count Kink county, and they pull ahead, is it up to the Republicans then to foot the cost of a full recount?
I am so furious about this.....I probably won't sleep tonite....
Of course they will and yes they want the GOP to pay for a recount. Sorry if I sound too optimistic :-) The media continues to marginalize itself and is very transparent as Gregoire's mouthpiece. Damn skippy there's work to be done but there will be some good to come of this either way. On a side note, I live in Pierce and was stunned to see that Rossi carried Pierce Co. btw: Happy Thanksgiving!
How many of the 80% (really?) that voted for Jim McDermott heard his pledge of allegiance in congress? How many know about the Dem ties to teachers unions (find a D rep that wasn't a member)? How many WA voters know how out of touch Murry is with world events?
The person that put my feet on the ground was my Dad. Years ago I came home from (public) school ranting and raving about the US. My Dad said "Do you realize how lucky you are to be born in America?" He then sat me down and calculated the chances of me being here, WA. State USA, instead of somewhere in South Africa or a third world country. My chances were very slim. Why here, why now, what do I have, what can I have. I realized that I am very lucky. America is the best country in the world.
It is a time to be thankful, even if things don't go your way (pretty hard times here), and I am.
Here is my favorite quote: "A stupid man cannot learn, an ignorant man has not had the opportunity to learn, but a foolish man is able to learn, has the opportunity, and does not do it." --Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
That is their plan.
they've controlled the governorship for 25 yrs and this year , they control both houses, or are very near to it...
they will not lose at all because people just don't care at all, even the ones who voted for Rossi....
if the MSM is calling it a tie, then its a tie, and no matter how many recounts, its never going to be clearly Rossi's even with the recount of the recount of Kink county....
their cheating has never cost them a thing..
now....if the Republicans can force the issue at every point, then and only then will the farce be revealed...
I am hoping the Pubs don't pull up anchor and shrug their shoulders and say "oh well"....
yes.
They will loose and ARE loosing control of WA state. Their governorship for 25 years, the liberal MSM and political corruption has become nationally known. Its not like it was. People are waking up to the lies. With every politically correct law, pandering Representative and anti-American amendment they seal their fate. McDermott, Murry and the professional protesters are doing the work for the Conservatives. When the Dems say "We need additional sources of revenue." the voters know they are talking about higher taxes. Terrorists cells plotting and planing attacks from Seattle does not go unnoticed. Businesses leaving because of mismanagement of the state budget hits hard and can't be blamed on Bush. If the political structure in WA had not changed Rossi would not be the Governor.
Gregoire, like most liberals, has underestimated the intelligence of the general public. Even if they cheat they still loose and will continue to loose until there is reform in the Democrat party.
The Blue areas are becoming "high density" because of the presence of collages and liberal media outlets. Progressive, liberal, Democrat, whatever you want to call them, they had their chance and blew it.
I'm just glad Jim McDermott is still around. He is one crazy Dem. With Dems like him the Conservatives will just keep growing.
