Can you recall them for being liars, cheats and thieves? Sadly, no.

RCW 29A.56.110
Whenever any legal voter of the state or of any political subdivision thereof, either individually or on behalf of an organization, desires to demand the recall and discharge of any elective public officer of the state or of such political subdivision, as the case may be, under the provisions of sections 33 and 34 of Article 1 of the Constitution, the voter shall prepare a typewritten charge, reciting that such officer, naming him or her and giving the title of the office, has committed an act or acts of malfeasance, or an act or acts of misfeasance while in office, or has violated the oath of office, or has been guilty of any two or more of the acts specified in the Constitution as grounds for recall. The charge shall state the act or acts complained of in concise language, give a detailed description including the approximate date, location, and nature of each act complained of, be signed by the person or persons making the charge, give their respective post office addresses, and be verified under oath that the person or persons believe the charge or charges to be true and have knowledge of the alleged facts upon which the stated grounds for recall are based.

Meantime, "progressives," have fun. I know I will as I watch you whine for the next couple years!

And the Democrats here are such pansies. I swear to god. This is a state that approved marijuana and gay marriage, has had two Democratic senators for twenty years, or something, and hasn't voted Republican since Reagan. And the state Dems act like we're Ohio, or something. I swear, I hope the Dems get the snot beat out of them so they'll stop acting like fragile flowers and start governing like the voters who put them in power. I have such a low opinion of the state Democratic Party. They're incredibly lucky that state Republicans are Oklahoma-level freaks or they wouldn't be in power.

They declared they "prefer Democratic Party" when they filed for office, but now they have changed their minds and now prefer the Republican Party.

In the case of Sen. Tom, he's just coming home. He was a Republican office-holder until he saw the political winds change in his district, so he flipped and called himself a Democrat for a while. But his heart wasn't in it.

Sen. Sheldon is another case, a rootless pol with no functional party allegiance at all. I hope the Republicans have as much fun working with him as the Democrats did.

People have a right to change their minds, just as the voters have the right weigh those changes come the next election. Couple of districts should have interesting senatorial elections come 2014.

You are more progressive than the "progressives", right? That's the implication that you're aiming for with your quotes? I know it's like a tic with you, when you seize upon a word or phrase and can't help repeating it ad nauseam, but I assume that's why you chose it to begin with. Because Seattle is not as good as California or something. So the crappy and not so progressive "progressives" should go to California now. Or Something.

Your mind must be a kaleidoscope of glittering idiocy.

Look in the mirror, you irresponsible, childish ideologue. You are the problem, not anyone else.

#20, if the "progressives" who dominate the Democratic Party can't live with differences of opinion, then they can give up control of the state Senate. It's their choice. Last session, those "turncoast pigfuckers" couldn't even pass a state budget. They got exactly what they deserved.

And now, Jay Inslee won't get a Legislature that "demands" he raise taxes. Therefore, if he intends to keep his pledge not to support tax increases, he'll have to swallow a bitter pill. This should be interesting, not to mention great fun to watch The Stranger whine for the next several years.

Tough shit. Stop crying, you pissants. You're not nearly as popular as you think you are, nor do you deserve to be. Now, to be Washington-specific, look at I-1185. It won in every county in the state. We don't want "progressive" tax increases, or one-party rule.

If you don't like it, move you whining asses to California. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and listen to the people who are laughing in your faces right now.
Posted by Mister G]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:44:29 -0800 The Stranger But he's been who he is for the past twenty fucking years!!! It's the old, "Fool me once..." routine.

Pelz & the rest of the WA state Dems are monumental asshats for allowing the Farce That Is Sheldon to continue for this long. The only thing I can think of that comes close to reasoned thinking from them on this is that they somehow couldn't just tell him to get lost, so they used the "Give him enough rope" strategy, and now they can indignantly accuse him. But my money is them just being stupid, the victims of wishful thinking/stockholm syndrome. That's been the Dem MO for a long time now...
