Not the Most Common Sense, However

Adam Smith stood up in front of the Seattle Times Editorial Board on July 7th and said he was the most qualified candidate of the lot.  Smith has a law degree and he's been in Congress long enough that he knows how it works -- who wouldn't with that amount of time?  However, Smith's degrees didn't stop him from voting for the dismantling of the Glass-Steagall Act, or Bush's invasion plans for Iraq, or nullifying habeas corpus protections as established in the Bill of Rights, or being in the opposition to the Amash-Conyers Amendment that tried to put some checks on an overreaching N.S.A., or from making a number of other congressional votes that defied good common sense and the will of the majority of his constituents.  By the way, I was opposite of Smith in regards to my position on all of the votes shown here, before the vote, and most of those positions of mine are on record in some source, primarily blogs and newspapers.

-- Mark Greene, candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, 9th Congressional District

UPDATE: 7/26/14:  Uncle Sam's largesse funds wars.

Our Washington State Lieutenant Governor Candidate Blog

There will be a special place to write about the Lieutenant Governor 2016 election, which I'm in, and specifically Washington state issues and matters, generally, even when the election is over.  All of the recent Lieutenant Governor posts on FW Politics  will be carried over to the new blog, Washingtonian.   I am proud to be a natural-born American and a Washingtonian, and I will need your vote to stand up for the Common Man in our state and our nation.   [Originally posted on Washingtonian on April 29, 2016; revised on May 26, 2016.]

Republicans Turning to Citizens Party In Droves

The Republican Party in the 9th District of Washington has been pleasantly surprised by the success of my coalition campaign to attract all parties and my common sense platform to fix the economy, turn America inward from the foreign wilderness and to keep a traditional outlook in political affairs.  They also like the fact that if I became a congressman, that I would not be a puppet of Wall Street, but a representative of Main Street.  They know that I am a true friend of their party, and they want somebody in the General Election that has a real chance of winning, not another Postma or Muri that can only attract intra-party votes and has no real chance of succeeding in the radically redrawn New 9th District, especially with Basler, as the Seattle Times put it, hardly waging a campaign.   -- Mark Greene, candidate for Congress, Congressional District 9, Citizens Party Note:  I just found out that a prominent Ron Paul website has been playing up Ad...
