Suspicious Non-Campaigns

I had hinted at this in a May 29th post on this blog, "Opponent's Non-Campaign," but that was pretty much tongue-in-cheek as the Republican candidate just came out of nowhere to appear on the ballot in the last hours of the last day of filing, but his "non-campaign" then seems like an actual non-campaign, now.  It's beginning to look like Doug Basler was put on the ballot to basically block any third party or independent candidate from getting a Top 2 slot in the General Election, namely to block my campaign, by merely appealing to the Republican party-line vote through just being on the ballot.
  1. Basler (R) has not responded to my debate call, so far, and neither has Don Rivers (D). 
  2. Basler, as far as I can see by checking websites, is not responding to questionnaires from political organizations. 
  3. If Basler is getting out and actually doing person-to-person campaigning, it's not readily apparent in the 9th Congressional District, but I have to admit that it's a lot of territory to notice any one campaign.
This almost reminds me of my first ever campaign against the incumbent in my district for a state legislative seat that nobody else would run against, when suddenly a 3rd candidate filed not long after I did.  The third person did absolutely nothing in the way of campaigning, though it's hard to prove with any 100% certainty that he was in cahoots to divide up the anti-incumbent vote with supporters of the incumbent or the incumbent himself, but him doing nothing looked suspicious. 

And so do non-campaigns, today.

-- Mark Greene, Candidate for the U.S. House, 9th District of Washington (Citizens Party)

Globalist Folly

We tried to get by without ever mentioning Colin Kaepernick's name on our blogs or websites, but the fake news media is running with the ball, so to speak, so just to let them know that their, Kaepernick's  and LeBron James' propaganda doesn't work with the Revived Citizens Party, the RCP stands as follows: Starting with multimillionaire Kaepernick's decision last year to metaphorically thumb his nose at the National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," and to sit on the bench or kneel on a knee while the Anthem was playing, because he thinks America has too many faults or something like that, he became the Pied Piper of disrespecting national symbols, particularly the Anthem, apparently until the country yields to whatever his particular idea of what a nation should be is.  However, even if Kaepernick's concerns do merit some kind of national rectification, which they may well indeed, when would our natio...

Finally, A Thousand Pageviews, Plus an Old Controversial Election

The "Reliability" Blog is Growing Stronger and Just In Time for Primary Election   Reliability just got a thousand pageviews within a 30-day period for the first time as more people are becoming interested in the Washington Primary Election that's just around the corner.  The ballots will be mailed out in mid-July and the election results displayed on August 5.  I have a feeling that, finally, there will be a little redemption, through my electoral success this year, for the stolen 2004 Republican Primary, in which I was denied a rightful victory due to the incompetence of former Director of Elections in King County, Dean Logan.  I realize, of course, that it's not politically correct for politicians to complain about their election losses  -- you know, just let them steal it and say nothing -- but I'm not one for being quiet about wrongdoing in regards to our democracy, even if it appears self-serving, because i...

Smith's Votes

The following is a list of some of Congressman Adam Smith's worst votes in Congress:   1999:   Smith voted for Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act: the law that dismantled the Glass-Steagall Act which had separated financial institutions' commercial and investment branches from involvement with each other, and thereby kept customers' accounts from being exposed to risky banking gambits. 2008: Smith voted for U.S. - India Nuclear Agreement: this agreement undermined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act (N.P.T.), despite that this deal involves the energy sector, by cooperating on a nuclear level with a country that has long refused to sign the N.P.T. 2008: Smith voted for T.A.R.P., otherwise known as Wall Street Bailouts:  while Wall Street was giving their executives million dollar-plus bonuses, before and after the passage of T.A.R.P., the American taxpayer was footing the bill for this outlandish give-away of government money. 2011: Smith voted for...
