Yep. This is the guy I'm voting for, too. He's the only conservative, period.
ohpleaseohpleaseohplease! He's got my vote.
I know Jeff Kropf. He's a good guy. Sorry he gave such a lame reason for supporting Saxon.
Atkinson is my choice. I've already given some $ to the campaign, and I have offered to volunteer my time to help.
Oregon NEEDS a sane governor. I'm so sick of sleepy Ted.
And Kropf is pretty conservative. Hopefully Lars talks him out of it. Saxton is a RINO and so is Mannix. Im telling you if Atkinson isnt are candiate I wont vote. I stopped by one of Atkinsons headquarters (Tualatin area) and they had the nicest people running it, picked up some window stickers. Im really excited for this campaign hopefully come May 13th hes are guy.
I recall when Dan Quayle was crapped on by a fellow senator (name does not deserve the bandwidth) in a veep debate - this is eerily similar.
Agree, I like him because he isnt a career politician and I actually can believe what he says hes gonna do, that he will do it. Well Saxton I trust as much as Teddy, and Mannix comes across as nothing but a sore loser.
20 years of Liberal policies in this state has killed us. We need Atkinson, a guy who will reform PERS, someone against Illegal Immigration, someone who wont raise are taxes. The sad thing is hes are only hope and their is 3 republicans running...
Can you imagine Oregon with an honest governor, who doesn't hide behind his desk? I love this state, but I HATE the (il)liberal politicians and the damned RINOs.
Only guy I see who can be that.
OR Governor's race *ping*
I thought Mannix was the front-runner, as he only barely lost to Kulongoski in '02. I never heard claims that Mannix was a RINO until this thread, he was formerly a DINO who was too Conservative for the 'Rats.
Any Republican beats any Democrat. I'm sure beyond any doubt that there are few exceptions to that. Throwing in the towel just because the GOP candidate is imperfect is not a valid plan. No Democrat conducts himself that way. Let's not be quitters--there's a war on--we need all the votes we can get. Respectfully, Malcolm.
Democrat Ted Kulongoski has made a mess of Oregon's economy, and he's a knee-jerk liberal. At a funeral for an Oregonian solder killed in Iraq, he took the microphone and used the tragedy to make a political statement against the war. This was a shock to the parents and the boy's friends who felt it belittled his sacrifice for his country.
Saxton is a RINO, he was a Democrat 2 years before he ran for governor in 02. Mannix wont win, the guy has lost 3 state races he comes across as a sore loser. Are only hope is Atkinson, other then that we have no hope. I can finally say with Atkinson, Im voting for the candiate. Not against the other person.
Well if they think Mannix is conservative they havent seen Atkinson. Atkinson from day one says hes against Illegals, well Mannix says he is... his campaign manager says other wise.
Of course he is, him and his kind have been doing this to the state for 20+ years. Hopefully the state wakes up.
That's where I live, and I'm going to volunteer everything I can to get him elected.
Mannix is pro-life, but he's very anti-gun.
His Dad, Perry, runs and owns the local Christian radio stationand was the head of the GOP when he was forced out by the "mainstream" pubbies.
Jason is good people...
Ed
Sleepy Ted is a POS. That's Piece Of Sh*t.
He found the gumption to inject his insulting, patronizing liberal BS into a patriot's funeral, but was nowhere to be found while the bill that would've enacted REAL punishment for sexual predators in Oregon languished and died.
He's a COWARD, a HYPOCRITE, and a FOOL.
Ted, you suck.
