Larsen WA 02. He says he hasn't made up his mind on Syria and wants to know what I think. I probably got this because I sent him an email Tuesday and told him what I think. So now he's heard it twice. He was primaryed last year. I think he'll vote no

Just my opinion for what it's worth - and it's not worth much around here nowadays - LOL

"vote based on the 'facts' and not on how their vote is going to affect them in their next election."

(23,758 posts)I ran against Norm Dicks in the 1990 Democratic primary from the left. I got 42% of the vote and made him spend 700,000 when he should had to only spend about 100,000. I spent 58,000 It was over his repeated votes for funding for the School of the America's in Fort Benning, Georgia. There were training the death squads in El Salvador. After that election he didn't vote for it anyone. Do you live in Tacoma? I do, in the historic North Slope neighborhood.

(28,979 posts)Howdy neighbor. Kilmer comes to me next time for my vote and I am going to say the same he did to me. "I have not decided yet how I will vote."
I already let him know I thought he'd be a one term congressman. If you can't muster up the balls to act like a progressive Democrat your first term, you don't deserve another. Following "the bomb for humanitarian" reasons crowd isn't going to fly with me.
Guess Kilmer needs a primary run-off too. He's extremely vulnerable to the accusation that he cares more for bombs than bread for the hungry in his district.

(28,979 posts)And we were last seen together in front of the Carlton singing at the top of our lungs disrupting the big shindig that Dicks put on just before he threw in the towel and admitted he was nothing but a fat cat arms procurer, before he decided to come home and start collecting his $8900 a month pension!
As I recall the police would not arrest us as the hotel desired. If there's one thing I love to do, it is sing as loud as I can to hear the power of my own voice.
