OREGON PING!
If you aren't on this ping list and are interested
in articles about Oregon, please FReepmail me.
Perspective is good though... Even in this BLUE bastion of hippie, dope smoking libs, Chris Dudley, a former basketball star with NO former political experience, garnered 49% of the vote. The minor party candidates screwed us too. Constitution party got 20,000 and the Libertarian got 17,000...
BUT the GREAT news is, we PICKED-UP 6 house seats to tie the Rep. count at 30-30!!!! AND we PICKED-UP 2 Senate seats. Now 16 (D) - 14 (R)
With Kissknober back in office GRIDLOCK is GREAT!!!!!
I have to say though, I feel like Dennis Miller who said on O'Reilly tonight (since he is from CA)... "I feel like the kid at Christmas who got the crappy beige sweated with the white dickie, while all my friends got a new GI Joe".
Liberalism truly is a disease!!!
No Republican will ever win on the Left Coast again - unless the unions decide the Democrats mess things up bad enough to put a Republican in to keep the seat warm for the new Democratic replacement.
Like Seattle, Portland will make sure that enough votes are manufactured in a close election to deliver it to the fascist left.
This will be fun to watch. The Oregon House is split 50/50.
And the Oregon Senate is split 50/50.
Kitz will get nothing done at all.
I don’t even think he will be able to raise taxes. LOL!

Oregon has been a dead growth state for a long time. The only reason it doesn’t stand out more as a bad example of how to run a state is because so many others have the same problems.
It sucks watching the middle of the country grow from my perch, knowing they have it figured out.
Oregon has been thoroughly californicated.
I was born here and years ago Oregon was known to be “different” well, it’s succumbed and is now just an extension of northern california.
Sad but true.
Gag me with a brick of C-4. This state is SO SCREWED. We should all just leave and let the bastards suck each other dry instead us, the ones who actualy CREATE WEALTH. I have had enough. STUPID MORONIC LIBERALS, they don’t deserve to live in America.
/rant.
Wait not done yet. I HATE LIBERALS. Ok now I am done. For now.
the PERS bomb should go off in about 1-2 years, not to mention the death of businesses.....and Kitz will be in charge...I can’t stand looking at him....how come Oregon doesn’t have a Constitution that says no one can serve more than 2 terms.....EVER....?
And what with that 100% mail-in ballot, I’m sure the Rats have plenty of opportunity to “fix” any ballots that might have gotten, uh, “damaged” in the mail...
Funny how every single down-to-the-wire race has magically gone to the Dem. Those last minutes votes always end up in the D column, for some odd reason. Hmm.
I saw this coming, they just had to find out how many votes are required.
