I understand your frustration my friend. I'm a conservative West Texan that lives in Minnesota. Keep fighting and do all the little things that help. Talk to your neighbors, get things organized and keep doing what it takes. You have so many Kalifornia infiltrators up there that the fight has to be taken to King County. I realize the frustration. I went from West Texas to Baton Rouge Louisiana. In the 6 years I was there I helped change things. We elected the first Republican Governor since reconstruction (Mike Foster). I worked with Republican committees that could meet in a phone booth, but we got it done. I came to Minnesota and I worked for Norm Coleman, he's not the most conservative man I've ever known but he is a Republican. I talked and worked, just like I did in West Texas, and southern Louisiana and I searched out good Republicans and I got Norm Coleman and Tim Palenty (Gov) elected, because I talked my politics with pride and logic. You do the same.

I live in a small suburb of St. Paul MN, and I plan to run for the city council. We have way too many conservatives in this little town to let the socialists take over. The school board is half and half we get a school tax referendum every other year. The City Council can stop that but they are either too scared (an affliction that only seems to effect Republicans) or too liberal. I plan to take the high road of conservative politics and stop this theft of our property taxes.

Get pissed and run for something. County Clerk would be a start!

You've got that right. The King County GOP has a long range plan that was started in 2002 to fix the elections. They know the difficulty in the battle and they almost won it in 2004 (with Dino Rossi). This year the focus is on ousting our corrupt county executive and his crony elections officer. To be honest, I don't think we will win it this year (even though David Irons is an awesome candidate). But the momentum is growing and it is likely that we will have a ballot measure next year to elect the county elections officer (a measure proposed by David Irons). If the King County GOP keeps its act together, we may see a drastic shift in Washington politics and elections in 10 years.

But it bears repeating, the people in Washington are slightly left leaning. I doubt the GOP will be able to change that for a long time, if ever. That doesn't mean that we need the far left as representation. This is why the elections in 2004 were so close for Christine Gregoire. Even the moderate left knew that she was a fruitcake (her main accomplishments in life have been wasting millions of Washington dollars and taxing everything under the sun). If the elections departments can be fixed, the 2004 election of radical leftists may not occur again and that would be a huge gain for conservatives in Washington.
