Exactly - how did all these Ratwingers wind up getting elected to positions? This has to stop.

So ironic that voters have been made to worry about leftists and socialists getting into government. We’re drowning in these radical ratwing nutjobs.

Let’s see: when’s the last time elected members of a legislature were also dedicated to overthrowing the very government they took an oath to serve?

Oh, yeah, right, Nazi Reichstag deputies.

Team Dweeb…

eta…
The evangelicals in my family always do this weird branding thing, coming up with their clever nyuck nyuck marketing ideas, winking and nodding about the subtlety and cleverness of it. They think for weeks about a new name for children’s bible study.

That being said… If they try to take over the Tetons, I will load up and head to the front lines !!!

Hey Eastern Washington and Oregon, have yourselves a ball without any wealth transfer from Puget Sound, Olympia or Vancouver WA, Portland, Willamette Valley, Eugene. And out-of-state tuition and no Oregon Health Plan. And buh-bye to what remains of your timber subsidies.

On the plus side, you could put in a sales tax.

Eastern Washington state is ruby red. Some of them want to secede from the rest of the state, and I have mixed feelings about that.
