Hope you voted, tune in for results Bookmark and Share

Anyone else glad to take a break from political ads for a while?

I voted this morning at a most crowded polling place. Good sign. But I found the ballot pretty full, especially for those of us who don't walk daily on that road to city charter amendments, local courts,etc., so hats off if you voted.

New thing: Join Dennis and me and the whole KING 5 team not just on KING and KONG TV tonight, but on KING5.com for our first election webcast. See you tonight.

Too bad no one reads this blog.ARE YOU AN INFORMED VOTER?
DO YOU KNOW…

How many convicted felons George W. Bush has appointed to office?
How many international treaties the Bush administration has broken?
How many environmentally vital, life protecting regulations have been eliminated by George Bush and that he is considered the worst environmental president in history?
How many members of the Bush administration have been employed by companies who are making a fortune because of the Iraq invasion?
What PNAC is and which of its members are in charge of the foreign policy of your country?
That Dick Cheney used Iraqi oil maps to plan his energy policy during secret meetings in 4/01?
How many people have been detained in the US without being charged with any crime and without access to legal assistance?
How many lawsuits Dick Cheney has been involved in during the past 3 years?
How many investigations for serious felonies the White House is involved in?
That huge funds and resources for the war on terror were diverted to the invasion of Iraq?
That, despite the growing deficit, the failed war in Iraq will cost taxpayers 100s of $billions of more?
That George Bush has isolated the US from the global community?
How many people in this county are unemployed who were working prior to the Bush presidency?
That the Medicare bill was passed through Congress by a person who quit after the bill passed to work for a company that will make money representing the pharmaceutical industry?
That the new Medicare bill does not permit price negotiation for prescription drugs?
How the Bush tax cuts have resulted in increased local taxes and reduced public services like education, fire departments, parks, police, healthcare, highway development, and other needed services?
That for 12 weeks George Bush totally ignored the potential criminal exposure of a CIA operative by someone in the White House? This is a potential felony that endangered many CIA agents’ lives.
That the US Constitution is being systematically replaced by the Bible as the guiding document to determine legislation in this country?
That at least FOUR Supreme Court Justices will be appointed by the next sitting President?
That George Bush has failed at virtually every level of leadership from the moment he assumed office?
Voting without understanding the issues is like jumping out of an airplane without reading the instructions on your parachute.

The ground is approaching fast, start reading……!

An informed American is a responsible American. Be a patriot. Be a responsible American. Become informed BEFORE you cast your vote.

A MISCAST VOTE MAY MEAN THE END OF DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW IT

Darin,
You are obviously one of those eeexxxtreme left wingers that thinks he could find the most perfect candidate (as long as he's a democrat) and make the whole world a better place. MAN!!! You are one scary idiot and probably the most dangerous voter in the state. I'l bet you can't reply (honestly with educated information)to half of your accusations. Go Republicans!!!

Dale said:

Jean,
Sorry you have to put up with idiots like Darin.

Jean,
Thanks for your input...I'm really pleased as well to see an end to the political mud-slinging (although I suspect it's gonna hurt your marketing dept to see that income stream end so abruptly). And as for the ranters above, as much as I might agree, this isn't the appropriate forum.
But I'll only suggest that if your station is serious about trying to webcast the results (a noble quest), KING-TV really ought to make sure that the web capacity is there to deliver it. Enough said about that.
I truly didn't find the ballot all that full, though, and I'm somewhat surprised that you did. This is Seattle after all, and we're all about the process (to the detriment of the result, sad to say). Still and all, better a full ballot than a one-party, single view situation. I've been there, and I like this better.

The Democrats will be thinking about 2008. They have two years to prove they are really different than the GOP. We can USE that! As soon as they get into office in January, flood their offices with demands for full investigations into the lies that led to Iraq. Tell them that their name on the door is written with erasable marker.

Darin said:

I might borrow from AA (Alcoholics Anonymous or Air America? Does it matter today?), voters declared that they were sick and tired of being sick and tired.

We're sick and tired of this administration treating us as if we're as dumb as O'Reilly thinks or Hannity is.

We're sick and tired of Donald Rumsfeld throwing good lives on top of the 2800 hundred he already threw away.

We're sick and tired of a Vice President who shoots friends first and blames others second.

We're sick and tired of insulting Medals of Freedom, that only demean the word "Freedom."

We're sick and tired of those who question the President's wrong-headed decisions being degraded as traitors.

We're sick and tired of White House spokesmen spinning dead American soldiers lives as just "numbers" or deadly war as only a "nanosecond."

We're sick and tired of over 600,000 dead Iraqis being waved off as if they there weren't once living, breathing humans inside each of those deaths.

We're sick and tired of oversight committees that doen't oversee.

We're sick and tired of Big Oil, Big Pharm and Big Credit Card writing the legislation that benefits only them and the legislators who they will end up hiring.

We're sick and tired of CIA agents being outed.

We're sick and tired of the very veterans the Republicans use to hide behind having their benefits cut.

We're sick and tired of bankrupting our children's futures to pad the bank accounts of the people who need the padding the least.

We're sick and tired of catch phrases being employed in place of real action.

The list goes on embarrassingly long, but basically, America told George Bush and his cronies that we are sick and tired of being played for suckers.

Well the Demos have control so it is Put up or Shut up time! I hope they dont take down the country in the process.

Eastern WA Vet said:

Okay Darin,
Why do you want to see our country fail so badly??? You talk like a frickin' communist pig.
I don't normally call people names in here, pal, but you are a non-patriotic jerk. Obviously you hate America. I love it and I support it. If you hate us that badly, get your sorry ass out of here. Go live in Iraq. Be a human shield. Not one patriotic American would miss the likes of you. You do not deserve to live in my country.

The great thing about America is that everyone deserves their own opinions. I have a few questions for you.

What, exactly, would YOU do about Iraq?

What would YOU do as President for ALL the people of this country?

What would YOU do about stopping the mass migration of hispanics and others that are crossing our borders ileagally? Would you leave the border wide open for some freak to carry a nuke in a handbag into one of our cities?

Do YOU want America to win this war?

Do YOU believe that your American brothers and sisters in uniform have gone over to Iraq and needlessly slaughtered 600 thousand civilians? (If you belive that, you're a bigger fricking idiot than you appear to be)

Would YOU please go crawl back under your little left wing website and shut-up?

Now, go ahead and answer these questions and show what you are really made of. I don't think you are much of an American.

Darin said:

What would I do about Iraq?
I WOULDN'T BE THERE, IDIOT. That's the whole point. Lies brought us to where we are today. You say everyone can have their opinion, in the next breath tell me to shut up.
That sound like communist pinko crap to me.
soooooo. stfu.

We're sick and tired of those who question the President's wrong-headed decisions being degraded as traitors.
Now, go back to licking der fuhrer's boots.

Eastern WA Vet said:

Thanks for the generic left wing answer to only one question. You guys blah blah blah a lot. I didn't think you could answer them. What exactly were the lies you guys keep blasting about. Not one of you has taken the time to say "Thank God there were no WMD's in Iraq" All you can do is point fingers and scream about the same old thing.

The reason I told you to shut-up is so that you can listen to all of these enemy chanting "Death To America", "Kill All Amaericans". But you will never hear that because you are too busy screaming. Thank God you are not my President.

Eastern WA Vet said:

Hey John,

Aren't you glad Darin isn't one of those elected officials? He's sick and tired. Would probably never show up for work.

Darin said:

How those boot's coming along?

Darin said:

Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment? * 314253 responses

Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
87%

No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."
4.4%

No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.
7.3%

I don't know.
1.8%
This is a live vote happening right now.

rodzilla said:

C'mon folks...that really wasn't Jean's question, was it? Isn't there a better forum for these kinds of comments?

Eastern WA Vet said:

Oohhhh Darin...

Still waiting foe you to quit flapping your jaw and answer my questions. Last chance to show you really have an agenda.......

Eastern WA Vet said:

Still waiting FOR...

Oops - typo

ISRAEL LOBBY SAYS PENTAGON ‘INFILTRATED’
Aleading voice of the pro-Israel lobby is pushing for an old-style “witchhunt”—under the guise of “homeland security”—to identify (and expel) individuals in the U.S. government and our military who are suspected of being hostile to Israel.

Category: ISRAELI SPYING


Attention Israel. Kindly build your own Pentagon in Israel. You can have all the "hostile to Israel" witch hunts you want there.
But this is still the United States, and we need military leaders (as well as political ones) who place America's interests first, second, and third, and in whom hostility to ANY foreign power engaging in spying and false flag operations against the United States is a desired trait.


"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.

WE THE PEOPLE need to start lobbying the new Representatives right now to elect John Conyers as Speaker of the House, because erst assured, the Israeli spies at AIPAC are already doing their best to shove Pelosi, who has promised NOT to impeach the liar in chief, down our throats.

If anyone has a list of the new congress with contact info, please forward. I need to put together an activist page. - M. R.

I am concered about my ballot being counted in King county . With the problems in 2004 with disputed ballots and now in 2006 with the blue bags sitting on the shelf why should I vote if I am not sure my vote will be counted. I don't care if the election is over and winners selected I still want my vote and all others counted.
Thank you Gerald

Eastern WA Vet said:

Well....
Looks to me like Darin has no answers, so I WIN!!! Typical, radical leftwing loudmouth. This is how they operate folks. They do a lot of screaming and crying about a lot of crap, but don't want to do anything the proper way to move forward. They think that impeaching the President of the United States of America would be in the best interest of the country. They are the ones who are selling out our borders, selling out our freedom and selling out our security in our on lands. We will see how far this goes.

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS AMERICA. HOME OF THE BRAVE AND LAND OF THE FREE!!!!!

P.S. - It's too bad that KING5 won't just open a blog on these issues. Maybe then they could get real answers to their questions without the radicals spinning their subjects around so much.
