I don't know anything about the state of politics in your particular state but it is sounding a lot like if you can't beat em join em.

He seems to be loaded with money and untouchable, you appear to be getting your Republican version of Massachusetts Ted Kennedy.

Are you proud of that???

Smith's an alcoholic, who's left someone to die in their car after driving off a bridge?

I have no idea if Smith is an Angel or not.

It is clear however he is rich and untouchable just like Kennedy.

Money controls the American Political landscape wether you are a criminal or not.

Sorry too little, too late.

Exception rather than the rule does not make it all better after what Republicans have done to this Country the last seven years.

Well at least he followed the request of the OP and posted.


Sheesh. BDS to the extreme.

Hell no! As far as politicians go, I actually like Wyden and Smith. You can keep your rich militant California-style populists who bought and bribed their way into office.

How do you feel about your Dem. Governor?
Didn't he barely hold on to office?

It was a closer race than an election. I'm not fond of Kulongoski, and voted for a 3rd party candidate each time. He's kind of quiet backroom deal slimy IMO, especially with the SEIU, the biggest government employee union in the state. The irony there is that I really liked his predecessor that he worked for, John Kitzhaber. IMO look for Kitz (and not DeFazio) to pick up the gauntlet and run against Smith in '08.

So will you be going John Kitzhaber or Gordon Smith in the '08 election? :D

Anyhow, you are the one that always hides behind the fact that you vote democratic party when called out for being a libertarian, so answer your own question and quit the pathetic attention seeking.

I swear, if they ever made midol for guys you would be the posterboy.

He's stretching. He didn't post that in the original post.

I am annoyed by his false statement.

I may in fact be "extreme" but not for any one particular party.

I rag on corrupt Democrats as well.

It's just that the Republicans are the ones that have held firm control of the Country until this past November and have done the most damage to this Country I have ever seen in my lifetime.

How can they ban me for something that Dave does every single day? I even copied his verbage from one of his thread titles yesterday.

So as usual, rot hides behind his usual "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others" mentality. Heh. It must be rough to be so bitter. :p

Probably 3rd party in any event. Kitz has gone overboard on his socialized medicine agenda even though his state health plan hasn't worked, and Smith and I had a falling out after he and I exchanged correspondence (or make that, one of his staffers with a rubber stamp resembling his signature and I exchanged correspondence) in which he expressed far too much desire to serve corporate interests like Monsanto and the RIAA.

Yourself? Somehow you always miss the point, rot. I think it's because your emotionalism always gets the best of you. If you don't want to be involved with Dave, then why are you defending him?

I suggest you quit trying to think so hard then, it is taking it's toll obviously.
Better to think and lose it than to be like you and never to think it all. :)

Glad we can both agree that you are losing it, like I said, you need a hug today real bad.

You not getting enough attention? Hemmeroids inflamed from a rough day at the office on your chair? Extra moodiness brand Midol ftw.

I love you, rot. You are the ever spewing fountain of bitter hypocrisy. The non-conformist who went out and got tats because all your buddies did, you care about every worthy cause until some member of that cause doesn't agree with your particular ideology, then you wish nothing but evil upon that person. It'd be comical if people like you weren't so common.
