The Seattle Times and the WA 9th District Congress Race

The Newspaper That Once Endorsed "W" Endorses Adam Smith, Again

Surprise, surprise, surprise!  The Seattle Times endorsed Adam Smith, today.  This is why nothing ever changes in Washington, D.C., because institutions like the Times and people, generally, keep making the same predictable decisions when it comes to Congressional representation, and then have the gall to complain about the moribund, dismal Congress that exists.  The Times throws around or implies terms like "perennial" and "not credible," but credibility, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder and if anything is perennial, it is these same, old "Wall Street" functionaries in Congress pulling the wool over our eyes time after time and holding on to the reins of government incessantly, while chaos breaks out on the border, high unemployment continues unabated, the nation's infrastructure erodes, foreign policy goes from inexplicably mindless to shambles, and citizens have become so cynical about the government that hundreds of thousands stop voting every year.  Give the Times some credit, though, at least they acknowledged what Reliability and The Coalition has been saying for weeks, Doug Basler (R) is hardly waging a campaign.  He and Rivers could not even show up for a debate.  Republicans and non-Smith Democrats have nothing to lose by going with Mark Greene and the Citizens Party this year, the one and only chance to defeat Adam Smith in 2014.

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...

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...

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...
