Trying to survive lib la la land...supposedly I took this year off from “politics”...how are you?
Doing good. Hopefully next week I’ll get the protease inhibitor GMO drug that has a 98% cure rate for what ails me. We’ve been waiting for it to clear all the FDA hurdles for 2 years now. 6 months ago they thought the UW Med. Center would have it in stock when I go back to see them next week. We’re all hoping the sequester didn’t throw a wrench into this also.
Politics seems to take a lot of my free time. Last year we helped elect a Republican to the State House of Representatives Position 2 from my district for the first time since 1932. I was the Chairman of the 35th Leg District Republican committee, (Thurston, Mason & Kitsap Counties), and am again this year. Besides re-electing our guy, we have a new candidate for the other house seat that is a veteran from Afghanistan and oozes charisma and as smart as they come we have very high hopes for next year. He filed last July so he has a full year+ to campaign and build coalitions.
In Kitsap this last election, I used GOP Data Center and ID all 125 nonpartisan races. The R’s had 35 candidates file to the Dems 29 and 24 listed as Independents but when you looked closer at the voting households of the I’s, they all had at least 1 declared Republican living at the address.
Come election night only 2 known Dems won and the rest went to the R’s and R leaning independents. We had a bruising state senate race in the 26th, Pierce and Kitsap Counties, and Jan Angel the R won. This race drew national attention, especially from a California billionaire who dumped 3 million into her opponent’s coffers. Each candidate raised over 1.5 million each My board in Kitsap raised and gave Jan over $36,000.00! The legal limit.
The billionaire even spent 250K funding a group of chumps that dressed up in their opponents tee-shirts and hats and went doorbelling after 8:30 PM to all the Republicans in the district that did not vote in 2012 trying to argue with them telling lies about Jan and trying to suppress the R base vote. I hope the PDC or legislature fixes that aspect of dirty politics.
There’s a change in the wind brewing up here and the R’s are poised to take over the House next election, 7 seats are needed and we now have a 1 vote majority in the senate. Can you imagine? It feels damn good to win one after such a long drought. We do have the stupidest governor in America, but we’ll box his ass in next year and replace this worthless SOB in 2016!
Hope all is well with you and the hubby! Keep in touch, please.
