I’m sadden this blog has nothing to say about the passing of a great American Mr. Tim Russert, he was fair and balanced maybe it could be that Tim wasn’t a bias democrat. God Bless him and his family.

David,

Thanks for posting the whole platform; I forced myself to read it: Clearly something that every far-left, eco-extremist, big-government, socialist moonbat can heartily endorse and identify with.

There are so many seriously wrong, scary, and just plain crazy proposals in this draft that I'm not even going to try and comment on most of it. I will instead focus on the one part that gave me the biggest laugh; but that also confirms the (D) party in WA really doesn't like the way our Republic is set up; i.e.:
The part where they say:

''Reforms that would result in election of the President of the United States by popular vote, . . .''

Since it only takes 13 states to block a Constitutional amendment, and since there are without a doubt 13 or more small states that will NEVER give up that much Electoral College political power voluntarity (regardless of the party in power at the moment), you can automatically file this under the ''not a snowball's chance'' category. Too bad we can't automatically do same with most of the rest of it.

Something that should be noted is the prominent position of the excellent Agriculture Plank. Much of that is the result of consistent efforts from Whitman County and the 9th LD. We may have a little trouble electing Democrats over here, (which is and will change), but you can’t deny our influence (and that of Vice Chair Eileen Mccoll) when it comes to one of the major issues in Washington.

It should also be noted that Co-chair of our Platform and Resolutions Committee, Ken Caylor of Othello, is challenging Mr. Hailey for Position 1 Representative in the 9th LD.

Too much emphasis is but on any one individual when it is really an entire group that has worked hard and spoken up here in Eastern WA. The Vice Chair is not that important. No one person is.

Which grade school student body election did this "platform" come from?

To JIMD:

To accuse anyone without justification of saying that about Senator John McCain is indecent.
I’m calling on Mr. Postman, if he has any integrity to ban you from this site.
You’re disgusting little kid who hides behind a keyboard and drops bombs.
I plan on monitoring this site to make sure your banned!
If not, I’ll proceed with further action against you and the Times.

I insist MR. POSTMAN you have JIMD apologize to me then banned him.

I don’t want to leave this malice open ended.
