I forgot to add that President Obama and VP Biden will be in Philadelphia today campaigning…reports of it being broadcast are great … so left coast be aware …the Band Roots will entertain…love them …FYI!!!The president spoke to more than 17,000 voters last week in Madison, Wis., where many more thousands watched on screens in an overflow area.
Weekend buzz … and rants include “the Media” screaming to all that will listen that it’s a tidal wave coming but if you are listening to the way the poll questions are configured and or how the hosts or commentators talk you start to get the sense that people have not been getting all the information so that they can make an intelligent decision when it is time to vote or maybe the question is skewed. Some days i want to wipe my nose with the stuff i hear from Political Pundits yet because i am not an insider some of it has to have some foundation and that is troubling. We are in the final weeks leading to the midterm elections and some interesting stories are coming out of the woodwork regarding a few candidates clearly on the extreme right and while it seems we cannot boot them out for their extreme ideology it is important to expose them on as many levels as possible: The fact that Meg Whitman or any other candidate would employ an undocumented worker while talking the political hard line against immigration is practicing hypocrisy at its worst…to be honest the whole wh**e comment does not bother me because Brown did not say it and why it was said proves Whitman is in fact buying votes and or endorsements which she is against right… sigh. The story about the guy who used to play Nazi dress up on weekends who is now running for a Public Service job is so outrageous as well the story about Governor Christie trying to dump the Hudson Tunnel Project which did not get enough airplay and it epitomizes why its likely we are not improving …how many other Republican officials have or are trying to lay people off or dumping projects and if so what do we assume their intent is and should they be responsible for paying back the money they took from the stimulus fund —that is a Hell yes! To continue …After the latest comments from Senator DeMint i wonder what his constituents are saying and what seems even clearer for me is DeMint definitely is telling Americans to do as we (Republican Tea Party) say not as we do and that truly is un-American. I am still trying to get over how DeMint was able to implement Universal Health Care but managed to give the rest of us the proverbial finger. I know that even though the people in Massachusetts hated the process, hated who was implementing HCR, some even protested what they call the sausage making yet while Congress was putting HCR together Massachusetts voted for a tea party guy into Congress complaining about HCR, but when you asked them 80% stated they wouldn’t give up the Universal Health Care that DeMint and others implemented but I guess they did not want the rest of us to have it. I believe the current dissent in the country is not just class warfare, race, religion so on and so forth it is because this Congress did not take a hard left and while that might be what we all want it is not what the office of President is all about. Unfortunately, Republicans refuse to let President Obama govern, refuse to be apart of the solution and well here we are – I blame the Republican Tea Party
I admit it …I feel tense when I listen to the opinion news but because I am listening closely they do fail to convince me that Congress will have a new look after Nov.2nd but if the scream of a tidal wave helps people do their civic duty -Vote for DEMS; then by all means scare us but with folks like ab stoddard all you get is democratic gloom and doom and that is tiring. I have faith that people will come to their senses even those in “the Media” because though they seem to exclude themselves from the inevitable …they too are apart of the voting consortium and should be concerned that crazy people actually have a chance to represent Americans. In the end do we blame “the Media” for what happens in November or the obvious side of the issues they seem to take because money does talk and what with major corporations owning all the cable and main stream stations can we expect them to tell the truth …food for thought eh? the comment below is from our President while at the Chicago rally.
“Sometimes I feel as if we had such a high on election night, and then there was the inauguration and Bono was singing and Beyonce,” Obama said at a fundraiser in Chicago last week. “That was the start, not the finish, of the journey. And it made each of you a shareholder in the mission of rebuilding our country and reclaiming our future.” -President barack obama -source: charles babington -AP
Saturday …For sure the 206 will be raining, cloudy with frequent bouts of wind… sigh it’s all good this weather could be worse right. The News Tribune reports heavier-than-normal traffic is expected for a holiday weekend at the U.S. -Canada border crossings because Monday is Columbus Day in the United States and Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
My rant today is about the extreme and somewhat silly behavior of the Republican Tea Party. If you are watching the news it is hard to look away from the ugly behavior but now they are becoming downright desperate and oh boy does Meg Whitman symbolize that on so many levels. The rumors that she has been buying votes seems to have become a reality …first of all it was an aid to not the next Gov Jerry Brown and while Whitman has been unleashing the conversation with out the full context or the entire conversation i would like Jeanne and Whitman to know that given the facts behind the comment i agree with the aid. It proves that you madam are definitely buying votes. The comment was bad for anyone to make but all we heard is what it meant on the surface and a lot of people in “the Media” came out saying oh no he did not say that on all sides of the aisle the facts remained undercover and by late last night most of us heard how and why the aid would say such a thing. My take is those quiet meetings, backroom deals if you will and include, if the talk is real – a sum of 45million dollars. It does prove once and for all that Meg Whitman indeed is engaging in desperate moves to get ahead of the competition by buying votes from at least the Police in California but then someone from the Police must have gotten greedy and called Brown’s camp … and i paraphrase -were giving Meg our endorsement unless you deal with our union pensions. bad behavior gone ugly
Last … some days you just have to share right maybe ask did that strike you as weird too but then i have this need to respond because the comment seemed extreme, the writer seemingly gothic and then again it could be all about sarcasm with a little bit or splash of threatening behavior at the same time. I have a choice of taking what the writer says seriously or decide that what the writer is sharing is that right of center love or rhetoric that so many of the Republican Tea Party members seem to engage in and spew at any given moment …always lurking under the surface. Well, i decided to share it with everyone, heck this blog is on the interwebs right …Anyway, the article Tattoo is getting some attention, actually the article from Speaker Pelosi received quite a few comments, most were nice and because we do have 1st Amendment rights folks use it and i choose to share it. The article is about the need for the Democratic Party to help support our candidates attack their opponents because clearly the Republican Tea Party has big maybe foreign Corporations funding their party not to mention the rhetoric is ugly at best, it is also filled with mis-information or their truths and should be challenged now more than ever. I have absolutely no problem with someone who wants to use their 1st Amendment rights, share their view or ideology but let’s keep it nice, play fair and don’t throw jabs that seem like threats eh? And btw stay away from my lady parts…. so …below is a comment in response to the article Tattoo
thank you for the comment from
… jonolan
Yes, Americans and American industry has arrayed themselves against the Leftist filth who want to destroy America.
Be thankful that, so far, it’s being handled through elections. Keep to your treasonous ways and we’ll have neither reason or desire to refrain from exterminating your ilk unto the last misborn crotch-dropping of unknown paternity.
For myself, I hope you continue; I look forward to the purge.

Today definitely, feels like winter but the 206 should warm up a little by the end of the day. Though reports are that it is 37 across the water here in Seattle and the weather folks say Washington State might see some significant snow this year it is has just started to sunshine once again in the 206. Don’t get me wrong this is nothing compared to what is going on in parts of Phoenix, AZ and hoping everyone is holding on tight, moving to higher ground and or evacuating as soon as possible do not try to wait it out be safe. In other News today, President Obama will be holding a Community College Summit. The big news online is about solar panels, wind and clean energy. I just heard that the White House will be placing solar panels on the roof and they will be in full effect by next spring can we all just say its about time Mr. President. Though the White House did announce they would be getting solar panels the Obama admin has not taken any bids and no companies have been picked as of yet. I wondered when the Obama admin and family would read my tweet and blogs stressing the need and questioning when they will in fact put up solar panels up… heehee.
In the days ahead people will be getting their ballots in the mail and there may be some early voting opportunities. I cannot stress how important it is to read your voter pamphlets it is just as important to get your voted counted ..So Vote early for DEMS on Nov. 2nd
i saw a great quote …
Change will not come if we wait for
some other person or some other time.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
We are the change that we seek.
barack obama, 2/2008

President Obama will be holding meetings with the economic recovery board today.
I would like to encourage all those people who have not Registered to Vote to do so before the end of the day because 10-4-10 is the last for anyone living in Washington State. The need to get out the vote in big numbers on Nov.2nd is not just because tea party members are ahead in quite a few races but we are also competing with Corporate $$ and the decision made by The Supreme Court; specifically Justice Roberts has made it possible for interest groups or Corporations are out spending our Party 7 to 1… incredible and offensive.
This is a pivotal moment, the midterm elections are usually important on the local level but what happens in this years mid-term elections will affect all of our futures in the Democratic Party. We need to get what I call true democrats on the floor of Congress if we are going to achieve that change 53% voted for in 2008. It is my hope that people who are on the fence or those who are frustrated with the Republican Tea Party become educated with what the Democratic party offers and what The Republican Tea Party is doing to us not for us. If you listen to the media rhetoric the message that democrats have to offer gets lost with conservative talking points and poll numbers that clearly are subject to a plus/minus. I watched a political program this weekend and the host stated he had Republicans last week so they would now have the other side’s view, which was fine until he brought on a completely new panel of conservatives to rehash last week and to bash what his democratic guests had to say. The program controlled every aspect of a true political program; where both sides are able to ask questions show their depth of knowledge and allow the other, side to rebut… of course the host did not want that happening right? Anyway, these shows are all too frequent for me and should give anyone pause. It should confirm the idea that most of these candidates on the right cannot perform if or when challenged by a democrat and they play it safe by refusing to talk because as we all know you could be caught saying, doing and acting out in ways that might ruin your campaign. I would say all you have to do is ask Meg Whitman and Christine O’Donnell, obviously two women who need to just step down and out of running for office because they are not qualified for public office of any kind. The near collapse of our economy and the effect it has had on all Americans should be considered non-partisan issues and worked on as Americans yet the Republican Tea Party chooses to offer no cooperation while using Americans as pawns to get just enough done in Congress to make their constituents happy. If you are concerned about the lack of work being done by the Republican Tea Party or the fact that they have made the choice to block, stall, and Voted No to everything that would have improved the state of our economy. If you voted to bring Americans into the 21st Century but Republicans are against issues like: a woman’s right to choose, 18 years old and definitely our future leader, eligible for military service, believes in better education, better health care for all Americans, wants better policies regarding human rights, believes in equal rights for women and minorities, and making a solid effort to change the way the last administration ruled then make sure you and your family get their ballots in the mail or caravan to the voting booths early.
Please help Rock the Vote by going on-line to register to vote and find out what issues you will be voting on in your specific area that will affect you and your family.
