Come on, bud. I will elaborate. 02 was a casual, "Do you want to register" and by 06 they assumed I did want to, more of a change in mind set by workers to make sure that if you received a license, they were doing their best to get people registered.

I do see the positives that were intended, but also as has been discussed, it did allow those who were non citizens the ability to vote.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Had Motor voter not been in effect, he should have won.

If everyone didn't get a chance to vote he would have won?

I was trying to make a joke about witches from Salem, and I learned that one way to tell whether someone is a witch is to make a cake using her urine, and have a dog eat it.

So, Sly... hungry?

Kate is awful. Kitzy wasn't as bad as people say. He did some stupid shit and abused his power thinking with the wrong head, but he was good at trying to get both sides to work together.

I mean for fucks sake, the republicans ran Dennis Richardson, who is a fucking moron, against Kitzhaber, who was balls deep in investigations and he lost.

Dennis was a moron. He sent countless emails to state employees about how he was going to shrink state employment and lay off workers. He could have thought that, and wanted to follow through, but why would you tell a huge voting group you were going to let them go. Especially in Oregon. Dumbass.

Agree with you about both Dennis and Kitz. Curious why you say Kate is awful. I haven't really noticed her being governor, in either a positive or negative sense. I should pay more attention to state politics than I do, I guess. What's she done, or not done, that makes you rate her 'awful'?

In 2003, Oregon's economy was then mired in recession, and Gov. Ted Kulongoski pushed for deep cuts to thePublic Employees Retirement System. Few Democrats wanted to vote for the bill because that meant crossing their biggest source of financial support: organized labor.

Despite fierce opposition from unions, Brown twisted arms to secure the votes necessary to cut PERS. Then, when fellow Democrats risked their careers to vote for the bill, Brown voted against it.

It was a maneuver that preserved her union ties but infuriated colleagues, especially when unions later successfully crushed Democrats who supported the measure.

"She totally undercut people," says former Sen. Charlie Ringo (D-Beaverton).

That is an older article, but Kate has been on a witch hunt with State Agencies, so i can see it being true. There was one department director that got blamed for something they had nothing to do with and essentially were forced to resign after dedicating their life to public service.

I've found her budgeting pretty subpar. http://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-kate-brown-governor-executive-orders/

She is a comcast sellout.

To be fair though, all politicians are sellouts.

Such strong feelings, and yet you don't vote. Hmmm? I guess theses nothing that anyone can do about a politician except make profane comments. Very wise, stay the course.

The biggest problem is that the Oregon Republicans can never find anyone worth a lick to run. ...I mean, it's not like the Democratic candidates are the cream of anyone's crop. But at least they can complete a sentence without twitching and drooling... The least the Republicans could do is give us a realistic choice.....

Fine, quit begging...if it will make you happy, I'll run.
 
I think she's done a great job. I'd vote for her.

Sly's a non-partisan pee-er. He'll pee on statues of any sort. He'll even pee on pirates' hats.
