BhamBill:

My wife and I drove to Seattle this past weekend and passed a number of signs attached to Koster campaign signs, saying in effect that “Larsen’s legacy is a 13 trillion dollar deficit.” … To suggest that one congressman is responsible for the federal deficit …

… is obviously not what the sign did. No one person is etirely responsible for pretty much anything at all that happens in government. But Larsen did vote for trillions in new debt. This absolutely is his legacy, and I find it interesting that you’re trying to convince people that Larsen isn’t responsible for votes he cast.

I hope it backfires on Koster; it should.

Sorry, but that just made me laugh out loud.

Bill, for some reason this link doesn’t work, but are you familiar with the voluminous takes on Stickney at a blog called Pam’sHouseBlend? Interesting stuff..

Koster, Freedom County, Stickney ad nauseum, pudge, (I hope you read some of my earlier links about Stickney) quite a little ‘community’ in Arlington…

Thanks for the link, Shaun. I didn’t realize that guy Stickney (of Ref 71 infamy) is his campaign manager, but now fully understand how Koster got the endorsement of Sarah, Queen pf the Tea Party: he is a right wing extremist on every issue.

“Camille, I wonder if you really misunderstood what I said, and really think my feelings were hurt. I have very few feelings about such discussions, except for my disappointment in Sam. Shrug.” - pudgy

Alright then Sam’s the meanie.

Well, think about it this way, what was the deficit when Larsen got in, what is it today, if he had spent half his time voting for things that decreased the deficit instead of most of his time following the leadership of Pelosi and supporting the spending that has now got us to 13 trillion & growing, could he had made a difference?

If you like the way things are, keep sending the same people back who got us to where we are, if you want a change, vote for someone different.

We literally laughed out loud! That is preposterous. To suggest that one congressman is responsible for the federal deficit is an insult to the intelligence of the voters and a clear sign of desperation.

I hope it backfires on Koster; it should.

Camille: Todd2 and Shaun are such awful meanies; they hurt pudgy’s feelings.

Really? When?

And how did I miss it?

Camille, I wonder if you really misunderstood what I said, and really think my feelings were hurt. I have very few feelings about such discussions, except for my disappointment in Sam. Shrug.

Oh Ouch, that hurt….I was a little less enamored last night, but the more I look into the Pudge phenomenon, the more I am entertained by him. Come back ole Pudge-er…..

How could they have been so insensitive to that tenderhearted little feller?

Davesix: indeed. There’s a reason I’ve not responded directly to Shaun, except to admonish him: there’s literally nothing there to respond to. He provides no substance of any kind.

Why would we want to elect a certifiable wing nut to an elected government post who thought it was a great idea to carve his own county out of Snohomish County and name it Freedom County with Arlington as it’s county seat? Koster, Stickney, Nandor, …these guys are a carnival show….
