Ex Blazer Dudley wins primary!

Dudley is wasting his time. We need a big man coach.

I can't stand Kitzhaber. He already had his run. It's because of Kitzhaber and Kulongoski that our state is in the ruins that it currently is. Some of our best governors were Republicans. The state didn't go to shit until the Dems started moving here in droves and ran us into the ground. I'll bet Kitzhaber tries to get a sales tax for the 20th time or something like that. How many times do you have to say no to something before it goes away?

He has referenced Schwartzenegger as a model. Maybe he should talk to people in California, where Shwartzenegger is known for his total lack of compassion.

And it's not like Arnie's economic model really turned the state around, either.

Did they put the other 50 states into ruins too? Cause, I don't know if you've noticed, pretty much every state is in the same pickle these days.

This I agree with. We did in the past have some good moderate-to-liberal Republican governors. Unfortunately, that sort of republican doesn't exist anymore, at least not in Oregon.

Ha ha. Yeah, that must be it. Damned immigrants. Ship them all back to Liberalexico.

It depends on what it is. Some things (or posters) don't go away just because you want them to. That's just not how the world works.

Heck of a job Dudy.

If I am Kitzhaber, I run an ad that is five minutes of this picture.

I like this!

NateBishop3 - I personally hope for change from Property Tax to Sales Tax transition in our future. Too many travelers and renters who contribute nothing to our tax base. I agree we don't want both - but I've come around to a new way of thinking about the "Sales Tax" swear word!!!!

Man who is that evil guy in the red shirt?! Do you think he's a Laker? What if Dudley comes out with a counter-ad showing Kulongowskiysahoiwagnoiasng with Kobe Bryant?!?!

That's not how the government works buddy. They don't trade one tax for another. They add a tax to the already existing ones.

If you vote something down 19 times, it should go away. That's why we vote.

Then we need to vote on it 10 more times, then, since we've only voted 9 times so far. And I use "we" loosely, since several of those votes came before you and I were born.

If grandpappy were agin it, I be agin it. Nothing's changed since the Depression, after all.

Well, Oregons best governors were Republicans when they were governors, but wouldn't be considered them today. For example, McCall? Not even close to being a "republican" today.

And it's kind of laughable that you think a governor has that much clout in the economic say of the state.

Neither Ted or John are really good governors, but it's not like the Republican candidates for Governor in Oregon over the last 20 years have done much after they ran.

quoted because I think you have a valid point. Although I think a property tax decrease and a income tax decrease, coupled with a sales tax, would be the way to go.

They were fiscally conservative Republicans. They were old school. There are plenty of Republicans, or people who would vote Republican if we had those types of candidates again.

I was just continuing on with my exaggeration. I guess I should have picked a higher number, say, 1 million?

Even I would agree that once we vote on it a million times, it should go away.

999,991 to go!
