Hollywood Backing $mith

The scions of Hollywood are opening up their pocketbooks to Congressman Adam Smith, as they have done for decades, and may be considering doing the same for Smith's major party opponents, Don Rivers and Doug Basler.  Anything to keep social conservative, Mark Greene, from getting a foothold in the Top 2 Primary and thereby within striking distance of a General Election victory in November.  Hollywood's greatest concern: Mark Greene's morality education program for public grade school and high school students that he plans on putting in a bill, if elected, that will not be based on religion so as to respect the constitutional separation of church and state requirements.  This is Mark's one exception to the Uncommon Core essay from a few days ago, but an important one that may have Hollywood rolling out the red carpet for Smith.

Inspired by Turn-of-the-Twentieth Century President, President Theodore Roosevelt

I am trying to revive the old Citizens Party that was, in its existence in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, environmentally and socially conscious, economically progressive, and was trying to counter the so-called two party system that was then and is now more accountable to big business interests than the people at large that continually vote for it. Even Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, trust-buster and environmentally conscious, saw the need to shake up the Republican/Democratic domination of politics by starting the "Bull Moose" Party when he was out of office during the second decade of the 20th century. We can do the same in this second decade of this century, but we're going to have to break out of the "familiarity breeds comfort" pattern, because right now the familiar means spending a lot of money on boondoggles that have nothing to do with either domestic tranquility or real defense, and we, as Americans, just going by the little that I already k...

The "D" Halo

Mission Impossible:   Trying to Get Democrats to Disaffect from Corporate Democrats I was a little shocked when the Young Democrats from Pierce County invited me to be a part of their endorsement process for the 9th District Congress office.  Imagine, Democratic activists, of all people, not giving the corporate incumbent congressman, who has a "D" next to his name, a free pass to another two years in Congress.   I got over my shock and answered their questionnaire, and now I'm waiting for their decision. Little has been more nerve wracking in this campaign for Congress than for Democrats in this now overwhelmingly Democratic district to tell me they're effectively going to vote for Adam Smith because he has a "D" next to his name, the party-line vote.  Smith votes for more bad legislation that ordinary Democrats would disagree with than you can shake a stick at, but he gets a pass because most people don't know how he v...
