Washington State's Big Labor Gives Big Hugs to Anthony Murrietta, Kshama Sawant and Others

King County's top Big Labor organization, in effect, the fellow union bosses of Anthony Murrietta, a Federal Way City Council candidate for Position 1, recently gave their endorsements for year 2015 to Murrietta, Kshama Sawant, and others. The powerful political kinsmen (meaning Big Labor, generally) of Murrietta, Sawant, et al. will in all likelihood bankroll their campaigns, as they have already done to a great extent. 

 Vote for Mark Greene for Position 1 on the Federal Way City Council!  Thanks!

  Update (3:00 P.M., 5/29/15):

 Kshama Sawant's political rise  is one of the most disappointing political stories that the RCP has heard during the "Teens" decade.  At one time the RCP believed that this upstart Seattle political activist who became a Seattle Councilwoman, whom we at first assumed was a little left of center, would be a refreshing change to politics in Washington, but she turned out to be an out-and-out ultra-leftist who, along with FW City Council Candidate Anthony Murrietta and others, has received the backing of Big Labor in Washington, namely, the King County Labor Council.  So if it seems a little odd that her name was included in the title name of yesterday's post of a blog about Federal Way politics, it's only to show how ultra-left on the scale that Big Labor has become, at least in regards to many of the candidates that they are endorsing.

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...
