Got it. The only 'populist' voices you want to hear are lefty loony ones trying to destroy the state economy with idiot government programs incentivizing laziness, 'minimum' wages paying a stoner layabout the income of a worthwhile citizen and punishing hard working thrifty taxpayers for their success.
But if someone tries to rein in the insane asylum that is Olympia their a terrible person whose ideas should be censored?
Well, nobody ever accused a lefty loony of intelligence, integrity, intellectual consistency or really more than bare sentience.
I've been wracking my hung-over brain (rendered partly soporific by Day 3 of the England-India Test Match, in progress) trying to come up with the name of a similar attention-whoring anti-government activist here in New York. With all our flamboyant characters, I figured we must have at least one spare we could contribute as a replacement, but honestly, I can't think of a single person remotely comparable.
@14 - Why am I not surprised that you use their when you should use they're? You try to present yourself as a worldly, educated person, but once again you just prove that you're just an ignoramus. And a bigoted ignoramus at that.
@26 if by "Eyeman's job" you mean "cutting off your nose to spite your face", you are absolutely correct. But I doubt that's what you mean, being the dumbest motherfucker on the planet and all.
I was going to suggest herpes, on the basis that I expect future Eyman outbreaks, even with suppressive therapy, but I am not convinced that even untreated herpes does enough damage to rate.
I would imagine that Mark Driscoll may be looking for work soon and he has the credentials and proven track record with regard to swaying the minds of intellectually challenged people. Perhaps he can plagiarize some of Tim's work.
This is nothing to laugh about. The fact that they want to "replace" him means they consider the function -- not the person -- as most important. The next person they support financially may do even more damage.
@ 46, if you think Eyman is just a normal citizen, as you characterize him to be @ 14, rather than a de facto GOP legislator without portfolio, it's just one more instance where you have comprehension issues. Of course, you're subconsciously aware of that - your projection is the evidence.
We already have a bunch of douche-monkeys with plenty of money from Big Labor who use intimidation tactics and other forms of assholedom who can easily replace Eyman: http://www.workingwa.org/

LOL.
You're just sad because no-one likes you.
Of course it doesn't surprise me that you are a fan of professional initiative-pimp Tim Eyman.
Based on the results of Prop One, Eyeman's job is being done by the voting public!
The suburbs have finally found a voice and won't be subject to egregious city taxes for overpriced (and in the case of the DBT) infrastructure.
However, Dave Reichert just posted that the Feds have approved a new highway bill and we need to get some of those built, especially East-West.
So Eyman should be replaced with a Seattle politics-based CAH expansion.
I'm a little suspicious since the guy who handed me the petition is just a giant horse ass wearing one of those fake eyeglass/mustache combos.
A) there is any physical room to build another actually useful East-West highway in King County.
B) there is such a thing as "regular traffic jams" on East-West highways east of the mountains.
Because Berlusconi is a known homosexual it's funny!
You do know, as far as making a fool of himself with women a third his age Berlusconi is trying for the record, right?
Or is he a serious closet case who doesn't find the same sex remotely attractive like most people you accuse of homosexual inclinations?
But as noted making sense and being a liberal, particularly one with homosexual lifetyles, are mutually exclusive.
So your thought process is: "I don't get the joke...man sex." That about right?
Or the Westbound US 2 At Sultan/Startup/Gold Bar On Sunday Afternoon In Summer traffic jam?
The latter is not east of the mountains, but they're bottlenecks that need addressing.
Aww, reading comprehension not your strong suit. Granted, it's in Italian, but the translation is relatively obvious.
I was responding to the strange gentleman at 34, little fella. Keep trying, you'll get the hang of it yet, I know you will!
So you think cannabis should still be illegal and same sex marriage should be banned?
