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 in rare instances being such is just being right and standing up for the community at large, as well as the nation at large, in which it is essential to have fairly contested elections.  Nonetheless, I have always stressed since making this controversy publicly known that Rep. Adam Smith was an unwitting beneficiary of his facing a misapplied General Election challenger that year. 
 
I have posted a host of information on these various blogs to show that the 2004 primary results in King County were, at the very least, shady.  It's a fact that I led the count in two of the three 9th Congressional District counties on poll day (back when there were polls) at the time, including the most populous county for the district (the overall count was a practical tie), but somehow I didn't even make it to 47% without rounding up in the final official count.  That fact, however, is just incidental information, there's a lot more to it.  Please, write U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, Jenny Durkan, and request that her office makes all information about the '04 primary public through a general press release.  The mainstream news media is continuing to do their level best to keep a lid on this old controversial primary, especially around election time, so that the facts will never be widely known, but it's up to me and the good citizens of the Old and New 9th Congressional District to make sure that they become widely known. 

Thanks.

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...

Moneypolitics

I'm always behind the curve, time wise, in seeing the best movies, but I just saw Moneyball with Brad Pitt about a couple of weeks ago.  Suddenly, I started comparing politics with baseball, again, as I did with "Leo's Maxim" some time ago.  In Moneyball, basically, the Brad Pitt character had to deal with the lowest budget, or close to it, of all the other major league teams in baseball, yet also try to build a competing team for the American League championship.  Pitt's character, Billy Beane, the General Manager, succeeded by making the playoffs in the year 2002 by having one of the best records in A.L. history, 103 victories, and setting the A.L. record for the most consecutive victories in history, 20 in a row. Beane and his Asst. General Manager devised a system of using statistics to overcome their money disadvantage and it proved that numbers can override money with persistence and strategy.  I believe that the same principle...

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...
