I'm Voting For Chris Dudley

[tlongII]

Actually, we know he can do the job. He did it for 8 years already.

Why not take a chance on Duds? Because the outcome is likely to be worse rather than better.

If a guard misses a free throw or two, why not take a chance on Dudley shooting the next few technical free throws?

He did it horribly for 8 years. Anything would be an improvement over Kitzhaber.

Actually, that quite obviously untrue. Would Qyntel Woods be an improvement over Kitzhaber? Would I be?

What is it that you think was so horrible about Kitzhaber's performance?

Qyntel would be an improvement. Not sure about you. Tax Tax Tax. Spend Spend Spend. That's Kitzhaber's motto. He did absolutely nothing to encourage economic growth in Oregon.

The other problem I had with Kitzy (I voted for him twice) was that he had a record number of vetoes. Now, one can say he had a GOP state congress to deal with, and that is true. However, for someone who when in the GOP controlled state legislature, built a tremendous reputation for bringing people together as a consensus builder, he made no attempts whatsoever as governor to do so. He took his marching orders from the SIU and vetoed, vetoed, vetoed. His leadership abilities were non existent.

That second to last run-on confused me. Are you saying he claimed to be bipartisan, but was not?

CANSIM educational testing - Kitzhaber introduced this to Oregon and it cost 10's of millions of dollars. After he left office it was basically abandoned. Big Fail.

Oregon Health Plan - Kitzhaber himself admits this was a failure.

The "evidence" to that effect that I've seen publicized is consistent with someone who maintains two residences but lives at one (north of the river) the majority of the time. As long as his primary residence was in Washington, there was nothing wrong with him having clothes in the closets, food in the fridge, and a practice hoop at the Oregon house, thereby facilitating periodic usage. In fact, I'd say it makes perfect sense.

I believe Oregon Law requires you to vacate the residence... which is doesn'tsound to me like he did. Is Forest Heights in Multnomah County? Was he trying to get away from the 1% income tax they had going there?

What I was trying to say was that he had a well deserved reputation, when in the state legislature, as a person who brought both sides together and forged agreements and compromises. When he became governor he stopped doing this and rather than seeking an acceptable compromise, simply vetoed bill after bill. I was very disappointed.

You seem confused about the role of governor. When the legislature passes a bill, the governor has the choice of signing it or vetoing it. "Seeking an acceptable compromise" isn't one of the options at that point.

Is that a members only jacket?

Yes, indeed.
