Wonderful News! Wash. State Repukes Want to Recall One of Their Own!
Couldn't get a link because the Seattle-PI has so many damn pop-ups!

Anyway, Sam Reed, a Repuke Secretary of State, certified Christine Gregiore as Governor, and the Repukes think he should have done more to stop that! So now a petition is going around to recall him (needs about 350,000 signatures, I believe). As far as Repukes go, he ain't the worse, but made some pretty partisan comments in my opinion. HOWEVER, even he realized that Gregorie won, and there was no fraud as the dimwits are claiming, and he had to certify the results.

Isn't this just grand! Love to see them go after each other!:)

:) :) :)

2. Well duh. They cheated because the GOP didn't get what it wanted.

4. Do they make any specific claims?
Because from what I've seen about Washington, it sounds more like the Republicans cheated. I don't give the republican point of view a lot of time, but I'd like to hear them out. And if we know what they're claiming we can work to dispell whatever stories they're coming up with.

3. The same old complaints!
Voter fraud, registration fraud, and there usual spiel. Seems to me like we claim the same from them. I wonder who actually does it?

5. I'd say the side that wins more often
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 09:56 AM by Goldeneye
is more likely to be cheating, especially since they control fricking everything. Were the leading officials in WA pubs? I know the sos was.

6. Nothing really specific--generic claims of how you can't trust King County
Largest county in the state--very Dem, so there had to be fraud!

8. Pubs expect their state officials to cheat. If not, they get punished.
Plain and simple. The way it is supposed to work is shown by Blackwell in Ohio.

More reason why the dems can't be nonchalant about losing these state posts.

11. So I guess the WA repugs would get on board to have
Blackwell in Ohio recalled, too? If there are problems with an election they would want to make sure everyone's vote counted no matter where they lived. Right? I mean, they stand for values and fair elections...and ...and...never mind. The repug party do hypocrisy better than any group known to man since Hitler.

12. Wonder if Rosi woul support recalling K Blackwell in Ohio?
Would be interested to know what Rosi thinks of the Ohio debacle, seeing as there are much more iregularities than in WA. Wonder if he would call for the ouster of Blackwell? I guess its different when the roles are reversed. Anywho, its nice to see repukes getting some of the same Bushit they give to democrats. Yeah for Gov. Gregoire.
